Getting Ahead of the Cow

$500 Boss, 800 Moolly," the old
farmers used to say as with pail and
milking stool in hand, they gingerly ap-
preached the cranky COW of the little
herd, and resting the pail on the ground.
waited anxiously lest hind foot should
upset the pail or be planted in its foam
ing contents. James Wilson of Por-
tersville. California, supports his pail
by belts around the neck and waist, too
high for the average COW to reach it.
Although we fear some cows we have
known would get at even his invention.
