A Nebraska farmer was troubled
with his cows crawling through an
ordinary barbed wire fence, so he
put up a single strand and charged
it with electricity.
The cows came in Contact with
the wire several times, then refused
even to go near the fence.
“lI turned off the juice, and the
cows haven't found it out,” he says.
“lI guess it will work until I get
another hand.”
“What a trifler that musician is!”
“Yes, he does nothing but play.”
