But the main point of my innovation

COWS were wont 20 make their way
home to their anxiously waiting off

mother would be found among them,
just as they are occasionally among the
humans, who had to be hunted up and
driven home. Their babies, by the way,
seemed also to carry watches concealed
about their persons, for they were al
ways found waiting in or by the inner
pen, often affectionately rubbing noses
with their mothers through the division
bars. We always knew they were there

we bought were of this sort, and that
was why we found that our neighbors
were right when they said that we could

us, and not altogether enjoyable, but

There was another, and now we come to
it and will see that it was of no slight
Importance to the settler in this new
country.
These scrub COWS could be bought at
figures that astonished us new corners

much better than others, bought mich

And these four or five were needed.
too, badly needed, even though they had
never given any milk at ALL "Thev cost
nothing to keep" said Our neighbors
and that was true enough, so far as the
cattle owned by them was concerned, for
they were never fed. Coming home at
night to their calves, the COWS were
turned out in the morning to pick up
their own living in the wire grass of
the pine woods and the luxurious vege-
tation of the hammocks, including the
long grey moss drapery of the oak trees.
Their coming home at night was deemed
of far more Importance than the milk
they yielded. And so it was to the ma
jority of settlers, so important indeed
that all who were able purchased or
raised large herds for no other purpose
than this nightly cowpenning Wherever
the soil needed fertilizing, as in the
ordinary piney woods the results OBJ
tained by this primitive method were
really wonderful
The first step towards the making of
a cowpen was to clear and plow the
space to be inc1osed, a space usually
twice as long as wide, it's size depending
on the number Of cattle to be penned
After the blowing, the plot was inclosed
by Virginia or worm fence, built I'D
OI TdllS Sp1t from the pine trees. One
side of the pen always faced the open
country, having drop bar entrance,
which was left open in the daytime SO
that the returning cows could step in
side, but closed at night upon as many
animals as could be gathered together.
Dry COWS and young cattle were often
hunted up towards evening and driven
into the pen; the greater the number the
richer the ground became. This was all
that the average Floridan cared for in
those days. Milk and butter were less
than secondary objects. Many did not
even trouble to milk their cows at all,
allowing the calves to take it all.
Across the pen ran a division fence
with also drop bar panel, while still
another bar gave entrance from an in
