YOUNG HEIFER’S VISIT
I
T W A S tat* In the summer and the
young heifer bad wandered off for
adventure*.
The young heifer thought ahe was
quit* big enough for th a t She was no
longer a baby calf. She was almost
a full-grown row.
Ah yea, she was big now and she
was strong and she was wise and she
knew how to take rare o f herself.
And adventures would be such fun I
T o wander and then to wander
aome more would be very, very de
lightful. It was a good old world, so
full o f Interests, so much to see, so
much to discover.
Now the young heifer belonged to a
fanner who owned a good many ani
m al* He was very fond o f all o f his
animals. He had rows and he had
sheep and he had pigs and be had
hens and roosters. Oh. there were

plenty o f animals on the farm, and
there were horses, too, and dogs and
c a t* It was. In short, s splendid
farm.
It was far, far away from where
people lived though, and even the
farm s which were nearest to his
farm were not near any large place.
No, In this section there were not
many towns and those towns which
there were hsd In them but few peo
ple. It wss very, very far north.
It was becoming chilly. But the
heifer wandered and wandered and
before long ahe fe lt very tired and
very lonely. Ab y e * adventures were
all very well but when It became
chilly and night came along it was
nice to have a nice lot o f friends
and relatives and members o f the
fam ily about. And the heifer began
to feel quite sad. In the distance ahe
heard sounds— sounds which were
fam iliar to her, talk which ahe un
derstood.
And she thought that she would go
In the direction o f those sounds and
listen. This silence about her wss
beginning to make her quite nervous
So sbe went In the direction o f the
sound* even though she was tired,
and even though she hated to walk
any more, lint It would he worth the
extra walk and the extra fin 'd feel
ing If sbe could be where there would
be companion*
On and on she trudged, poor, weary
young heifer that she was. And at
lust ahe came to another farm. There
were none o f her own fam ily about,
but their were animals o f her own
kind and friends she could feel at
borne with, and It was happiness to
be there. Everyone welcomed her. a
little ahyly at drat, but she was w el
comed.
It was a Joy to the heifer to be
welcomed.
There was a new farm er here, one
she bad never seen before, but he,
too, was nice to her. He seemed sur
prised at first to see her, but he
treated her as one o f the fam ily In
no time at alL
Day after day she stayed upon this
farm, and the days went Into weeks
as days have a habit o f doing o f
which they’ve never broken tbero-
s e lv e *
And the weeks went Into
m onth* Yes, tw o months had gone
by since the heifer had gone off for
adventure* But she had not forgot
ten what her own fam ily looked Ilk *
Nor had she forgotten what the
farmer looked like. N or had she fo r
gotten what the farm er's w ife and
the farmer's son ahd the farm er's
daughter looked like. And one day
they all appeared upon the new farm.
■yes.’’ said her new master, “ I
couldn't understand It for a long time.
And then I knew- she must have wan

must have come a roundabout way

“ I thought at first she had come
from one o f those nearer farms and
went to find ou t But she hadn't and
then 1 couldn't imagine where she had

" I t was good o f you to take her In

e r s real master said.
“ W ell, sbe made herself so at home
that we began to feel she belonged to
us."
T o e heifer went back, though, to
her old b om * It was good to be back
and yet she had been treated well
while she had been away. But. oh. It
was fun to feel such an unusual heifer
—to have been away on a two months’
visit. N o other heifer could say as
much. She didn't care to go again,
but ahe was glad she bad had such
an unusual experience.
