lapsed and was carried back into the

Jacob Seeley, of Auburn, few
miles from Montrose, has a COW
which is evidently to the best of her
ability trying to help her owner solve
the high cost of living" A few days
ago this COW gave birth to quintu-
pies. OF course it was not the cows
fault that three were dead at birth
and the other two died soon after
she surely did her part. All of the
calves, while a trihe small were
perfectly formed. The COW, which
is a four-year-old, had previously
given birth to but one calf. Twins,
and even triplets, have been known
to occur in that section of the state,
but it is extremely doubtful if there
is bovine in existence that has
beaten this record
