new form of cruelty as they appear
upon the printed program. known as
the wild COW milking contest" Five
wild. but fresh milch cows are to be
used. The COW has thirty feet start.
Two mounted men to each cow are
waiting in line to give chase.
Here are three Of the rules for this
contest:
The catcher will stop the COW but
not bust" her. If you do bust her you
are out.
His partner will dismount, go down
the line, catching the COW by the
horns, twisting her head back and TAX
ing the rope off from the COW or roper
must release his rope from horn or
saddle.
The rider who roped her will now
dismount and proceed to milk this wild
COW until he has half filled one-half
pint cream bottle furnished by the
committee.
Some of the finest people in Ameri-
ca live in the state of Washington.
