IS THERE TROUBLE 
BREWING? — Drawn and Engraved far the American Agriculturist. 
Aii interesting fact connected with the 
driving of large numbers of cattle from 
Texas northward is, that when only male ani¬ 
mals constitute the herd, they are alarmed 
by slight causes, and easily stampeded. If, 
however, a few cows are taken along, the 
males gather around these to protect them, 
and the herd is thus kept together.—In 
the above spirited sketch Mr. Taurus ap¬ 
pears in his true character, bidding defiance 
to the challenging disturber of the quiet of 
the herd, with the sympathy of his consorts. 
Entered at the Post Office at New York, N. Y., as Second Class Matter.
