The COW never backs anybody away
from the table by spraying q set of
hand-painted doilies with vegetable
soup, while entertaining a choking
spell. She never gets a fish bone
lodged in her soft palate and frightens
the rest of the family until they are as
helpless as a st. Bernard pup In fly
time. 1t is estimated that in shred
ding her modest meal the jaws Of the
average heifer travel a distance equal
to two trips to the corner saloon. Her
digestion is perfect. She doesn't
know an emetic from brass bed, and
no hot water bottle adorns her alb
dominal area. Colicky man should
