in the western counties, tho nothing
lower than 9 to 10 above zero was
reported.
Conditions continue practically ideal

Cows Highly Priced.

The cows of Periguex, France, which
serve not only as milk givers, but as
draft animals, are highly priced by
their peasant owners, and nothing that
can add to the comfort of the valu-
able animals is neglected They are
protected from the annoyance of
swarms of flies which infest that part
of France by quaint hand-crocheted
wells which cover the entire head and
hang down almost to the ground. The
wells themselves are works of art, with
long silky fringes of varying hues, or
borders of croeheted lace. In schools
which are aided by the Junior Red
Cross of America, French children are
taught to crochet, and so can make
these useful wells.
