But She Refused to Give Usual Supply
of Milk.
Alfred James, of the University OF
Virginia, was a disturbing element in
farm life one day last week. says the
Baltimore Sun.
He went out to ReiSterstown to visit
a friend He found the young man in
the barn about to begin the days mi k
ing His friend Is civil eng ne r, but
is spending the summer at his coun-
try home, in Baltimore county, and de.
lights In the simple occupations of the
farm. One of his hobbies Is milking
the COWS, and he was about to begin
on a very Iadylike old brindle when
Mr.. James climbed the fence and call
ed out to him.
Mr.. R., the gentleman of bucoltc
tastes, came to meet him, and the two
shook hands and .chatted for a few
minutes.
Excuse me, old man." he said to
Mr.. James, while l milk the cow"
go ahead" the latter replied. I'D
like to watch you do It,"
Thereupon Mr.. K. put his stool in
place, arranged his legs as long-limbed
milkmen have to do and proceeded.
Mr.. James walked to the cows head
and gently stroked her neck, saying
appropriate and endearing things the
while. He had his pipe in his hand
and held it under the cows nose.
She shifted, looked about, shifted
again and loked about, and then sniff
ed. She seemed to like it. Mr.. James
began to laugh, but in few minutes
Mr.. R. got up in disgust. He said a
a few things about the COW and COM
planned that the blooming old thing
won't let down a drop Of milk"
He then kicked her in the ribs,
drove her into her stall and turned the
Job of milking over to one of the
farm hands as he went off with his
guest
The COW was so delighted with the
odor of the smoke that she forgot ali
about giving milk as usual.
Mr.. James thought it was great
Joke on a suitable occasion. But the
funniest part of the joke didn't seem
to appeal to him so much the morn
