Cow 27 Years Old.
Hard to believe for the very
simple reason that very few cows
attain that age. Most cows go to
that land where all good cows go
when they have spent some IA or Is
years here. However Mr.. T. F. jack
son of Glover is the owner Of a
gentle mixer that has already seen
q new crops Of spring grass, and If
appearances count for anything she
Is no doubt about the cows age. She
is registered Jersey and Mr..
Jackson has the papers. He has had
the animal about two years, having
purchased her from Mr.. Tom Craig of
Gastonia- She is handsome animal,
larger than the average cow and shows
her pure strain In every vein and fibre.
When Mr.. Jackson purchased the
cow two years ago, she weighed about
700 pounds. Now she weighs l, 100
and Is still putting on weight. She
gives about one gallon and a half OF
milk each day.
