Interesting Agricultural Item.

A farmer in the eastern part of the State missed a couple of his cows some time ago; and a diligent search and notices in the county papers failed to bring them to light. Yesterday, however, while in the field, he noticed a hole in one side of his pumpkin, and on getting a lantern and going in, he found the lost cows quietly eating pumpkin seeds and getting fat. The hole in the fruit was caused"* by the rapid growth of the vines; which had dragged it along over the ground for half a mile.—Kansas Teetotaler. Texas is furnishing Alaska with horses. /«
