COWS o CLASSES:
MORE MILK

LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 2-LHf-
Cows at the Nebraska college Of ag-
riculture are looking at the world
through blue-tinted ~glasses-and
giving more milk.
Prof. II. p. Davis ordered the
windows TO the cattle barns paint
ed with a calcium composition as q
foil to flies. The insects dislike
the semi-tv-'light thus created.
Those that do venture In are kept
under control with sprays.
Blue glasses mean happy COWS,
Professor Davis explained. and con-
tented bovines mean more milk.
Some Of the cows like the blue-tint-
ed windows so well they try TO lick
