There may be question as to whether
she realizes this or not, but 1t Is a
fact, nevertheless. Each day bird,
which by some has been called a
bIuebird, comes and perehes on the
cows back, remaining there for hours
at time, His favorite perch is
Just back of her neck where he Is
safely out of reach of her tail when
she switches vigorously, now and then
at a troublesome fly. 1t Is amusing
to notice the bird when Moody jerks
her head sidewise. He daintily takes
a few steps down the center on her
Backbone Just in time to avoid being
hit, and when she becomes quiet he
will "chasse'- back to the same place.
OF course the little fellow is busy
catching flies and the onlookers are
wondering If the COW understands the
situation or II she thinks an unusual
