 "I could have sold her for $50 last week
 Then some one must have wanted to start bone yard pretty bad. Look at the condition she's in! That COW won't give two quarts of milk day. You'd better drive her right down to the river and dump her in."
 But don't take that: COW on her looks, ma'am." protested the man. She hnd twin calves, and she's lost 'en both within a month. She's griev- ing for them and has lost her appe- tite- Give her a little show to get her spirits back, and if she doesn't fill 6 pail twice a day don't know anything about cows I'll drive her around and put her In the shed, and when MT Bowser comes he'll explain every. thing"
 It had been long years since MT. Bowser had mentioned the name COW, and he had gone and invested in a skeleton without hint of hls inten- tons. Mrs. Bowser was thoroughly put out, but as she could not bandy words with the COW dealer she retired Into the house and left him to put the animal in the shed. As soon as he had done so he got out of the neighbor- hood as fast as he could. Ten minutes after the mans coat tails had disap- peared MT. Bowser came home. He had meant to break the news himself and in his own way. but he saw that it was too late.
 "weIl. what do you think of the in vestment?" he carelessiy asked as he hung up his hat

 Don't be a donkey. Mrs. Bowser i Nine-tenths of the sickness and death of today are caused by those yers things. If you want to run the risk I then go ahead, but want no microbes in mine. The professor estimated thai with cov of our own we would bctt live ten years longer"
