 Sir Joseph Hooker, of London, pub fishes . description of tree which has been discovered. called the "cow tree. which gives milk when an incisaon IS made in the bark. Several of the trees have been brought to England, and they are being watched with much curiosity. Nothing could have been discovered that would more effectually fll the bill. and all the want long fell than the COW tree. and we shall herald its introduction into this country with great joy. The parties vho are interested in the propagation of the GOV tree css send .s sxc .. .hree hy express. We do no, want full sized coz trees, but just Sarlings. os calves. With a few such trees in the frons yard, the citiren can make ap faces at the drves of the milk wagon, and bid him de6ance. Instead of going forth in the morning. armed with . milk ticket and tn basin. a man can take his little hatchet and . pail and cuts hole in the COW tree. si, down under its umbrzgeous shade and will have no moro kicking COWS 10 con tend with. but can let his COW tree milk itself while he sits down al the root ot his milk producer and smokes his pipe or plays seven up with the hired man. .Thers will be no more hoissing there, no tail to switch in his face, and no more will the COW tree get nervous at having iss bag agita,ed by the rough hand of the farmer. and kick the milk pail over the fence, and the milk stool through the granger. There will be no more fodder to throw down. no more bran mushes to mix, and no calves to wean. as it Is pfoba- ble the COW tree will be fArrow forever. and not go believing around trying to hook the butcher who tries to take its calf away. The COW tree will take work of the tired farmer. and he can go to town to attend the lodge without hurrying up the milking. as the girls can mind the daiy. IL will be a mighty poor girl that eanno; milk the CON tree. The improve ments over the coz will be numerous. By building an ice house near the COW tree one can have ice cream. and by the aid of handy Jug, milk punch can be made to the queens taste Instead oi driving the COWS up from the pasture ai night, and stopping them. and sitting eramped up. milking with one hand and lighting mosquitoes with the other. the farmers daughter can have double sea: under the ees tree. and take pail and lover and go ea, ,o mix. md while ,he COW tree IS gM.ng d an its blessings. the young people can put n the tune .parking.
