The gentleman made some remarks
about the early spring, close of the
Eastern war and the state of the roads,
and then asked:
"Say, Thomas: how much milk per
day do your COWS average?"
"Seven quarts, sir"
"Ah-um," said the gentleman, as he
moved off. Thomas looked after him,
scratched his head, and all at once
grew pale as he pulled out short pen
Gil and begin to figure on the wagon
cover.

quarts down under the COWS and null
