they have also on exhibition COW
Just an ordinary, common. everyday

even more interesting.
1t has discovered that in the great

boys and some grown ups who have
never seen cow and couldn't tell
what sort of animal they received
their milk from. When that was dis
covered the keeper of the geological

placed her in the gardens where every
girl and boy might see her.

OF course this is interesting to- the
