REMARKABLE SPECIMEN
OF COW IN QUEEN ANNE

A granddam years ago and still do
ing her share in the dairy herd Bess
a grade Guernsey owned by John Vol
thon on the Hope Road is hale and
hearty in her ripe old age and passed
her twentieth birthday this week. She
is believed to be the oldest bovine in
Queen Anne's county.
Bess has produced seventeen calves
and is due to freshen again in October.
Born in June 1917 she was the first
cow bred by Mr.. Woithon after he
began farming in Queen Anne's coun-
ty. For this reason and because OF
her splendid vitality she has earned
something of a sentimental place in
her owners mind and has been kept
in the herd when all other of her type
were eliminated.
Some years ago Mr.. Woithon deter
mined to build up his herd to pure
bred type but he kept old Bess now the
only grade in his purebred stock. How
ever he did not keep any of Bess'
grade offspring but sold them off
chiefly in New York State.
The cow, the first offspring of the
original herd established by Woithon
has always been a family pet. De-
spite her old age, as cow age goes, she
is now producing about thirty pounds
of milk daily and her owner says that
after freshening she should average
between fifty and sixty pounds.
Old Bess has been raised and fed
much in the old fashioned method of
handling cows. She has been given
plenty of time for leisurely munching
in pastures, which is viewed as a prob
able reason for her prolonged life.
Where cows are confined to barns a
great deal and pushed for milk produc-
ton it is said that their usefulness
drops off after eight or nine years
and they seldom live beyond twelve
or fourteen years. Even when given
the freedom of pastures the average
COW seldom passes her fifteenth birth
day, say those familiar with cattle.
But Bess may hold on as long as her
grinders are intact.

MAN WAS BURIED ALIVE

A man will be buried alive at Ridge
