A rather good story is told of a certain well-known farmer in the Kihikihi district (says the “Waipa. Post”). A few days ago he was mowing blackberry on his farm but the hot weather induced him to leave the horses, attached to the mower while he enjoyed a few minutes’ swim in a near-by stream. He dived off the bank with a loud splash, which latter so startled the hordes that they bolted. The swimmer heard the clatter of horses’ hoofs and the rattle of machinery, ‘so he hurriedly scrambled out on the bank and essaved to recapture the errant steeds. 'The horses were more frightened than ever at the unusual spectacle of a naked man chasing them, which was indeed a remarkable one. The farmer had the satisfaction ultimately of stopping the runaways without damage, but he has since, according to the story, been very busy removing blackberry prickles from his feet and legs The price of foot comfort is Prognncira, le. 6d.—Advt.
