Fourth of JHly. The feature of having
the head on the tail end and the tail on
the head end is this: In summer when
the flies are as thick as the wool on
Rastuss head they will always light
on the tail end where the. COW can't
get at them with any advantage, but if
the head of the COW is where the tail
used to be the COW can snap the flies
heads off before they rea ize the change
and thus the fly population will be cut
down considerably. And another
thing: These cows have tail with a
loop in it like the average hng. When
you go to milk all you have to do is to
hook this loop over fence picket, etc,
and milk in peace But the banner
feature about these cows is the quality
ofmilk they give; one bucketful OF
this milk will 60 as far IS a wash-tu
of ordinary milk, and, frankly speak
ing, it isn't milk at all, but soft butter
that they give. After you get done
milking, stand the dope in cool place
or put it in an ice box and you have
hard butter that needs only salt to com
plete it. When you want milk you
have to put this butter in a butter
churn and pound just the other way
from what you now do and you will
get cream, l mean that insead of
pounding up and down you pound
down and up. After you have churned
the butter into cream, stand the cream
in crock and next morning skim off
them milk like this feature alright,
but believe in Audubon County we
would experience some trouble in win
ter when it's cold. Before we could
begin to drain this new milk or soft
butter we would have to build a fire
under each COW and warm her up.
This fire business under the COWS would
not meet with the approval of the in
surance companies and L don't. think
4 it would meet with the approval Of
the cows. Cows are little touchy on
the south side, and the fireman would
be in danger of getting his head kicked
off. III get the cows | will get Lena
to make good warm mustard plaster
for them and save the fire for biscuits.
