%ritwja Signal. VOL. XXV. SILVER SPRINGS. N. Y.. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1916 No. » Steers Go Over The High Banks Drove of Cattle Belonging to Bert Abbott Go Down 200 Feet. Tbos. R- Robinson was called to the higb banks, near Mt Morris, last Wednesday to help rescue (and batch er those that were killed) a drove ot steers tbat had gone over the banks. There were 36 steers in tbe bunch and belonged to Bert Abbott of Oak Bill, who was hiring tbetn pastured on the.Wbitmore farm, near what is known as tbe \hog baok.'' The place wbere they went over Is about 200 feet above the river bed, and some of tbe animals went clear to tbe bottom. A large portion of them managed to stop on a ledge of rock about half way down and how to resoue them was a problem. Fin ally a narrow path was shoveled out in the shale rock from tbe river bottom up to the ledge. A man was lowered from tbe top of tbe bank to the ledge and be sucoeeded in driving all tbe steers down the path but two that refased to leave their percb. Tbe next morning ,when the men returned one of tbe anima 's, bad found its way down the narrow path in tbe darkness and joined the remainder of tbe herd. One of the steers in making tbe descent made two complete somersaults and tbe watchers thonght sure it wonld be killed, but it got np, shook himself a couple times and went to the river and began drinking. It's wonderfnl what an animal of that sort will go through and come out alive. In their run over the bank, two of the animals were killed ontright and others bad broken legs. Tom. skin ned seven of tbem, four of them were lost in tbe underbrush on the river bottom and Mr. Abbott drove tbe remaining 25 to bis borne on Oak Hill Friday. About tbree weeks ago, a number of sheep tbat were being obased by does went over the higb banks, some to tbeir death and others catching on ledgeB of rook, and were later rescued, , More Good Road.

Many plants protect themselves from their enemies by the use of spikes or prickles and venom, just as certain ani mals do. Of those using tbe first nam ed device there are, as a naturalist pointed out, innumerable examples. The bramble, tbe gorse and the holly are familiar Instances of shrubs and trees \armed to the teeth,\ so to speak. Many plants Imitate tbe reptiles In arming themselves with venom. Of these are tbe deadly nightshade, or belladonna, and the nffx vomica. Less destructively inclined are those plants which arc simply protected by their disagreeable taste.
