THEIR COWS
In taat Land c. Plenty t&e cow
is nude-one of die , family
Many centuries ago a crusty old ascetic
named Saint Columbia, came over to
Scotland to convert the wild tribes to his
raligious way of thinking. He located on
the Islind of lona, and the first decree
he issued was that the "people should'
have no cows. The reason assigned is
characteristic of all gloomy'celibates who
spend tneir lives in secluded monasteries.
"Where there is a cow there will be a
woman." said Saint Columbia, "and
where there is a woman there will be
mischief." As the result of , this stupid
and fanitca! oatgiv.ng t;i e bnans wTre
deprieved of the supreme luxury wnich
comes from keeping cows. It is-true, as
this ancient acolyte remarked, that
wherever there Is a cow there will be a
woman, but what finer combination was
ever brought together, a union of the
two chief ,. b eisings bestowed on
many W nerever mere is a -
ought to be a woman, and wherever there
is a woman we naturally look around for
the cow. They compliment each other;
they belong in the same category of use
fulness and gentleness. : A woman can
get more milk from a cow than a man.
Cows hate men and will kick them. No
cow ever kick a woman or steps in her
milk bucket Successful dairy people
know this quite welt, and are now em
ploying women to do their milking. The
cow yield readily to the gentle voice of
woman, and like to have her udder
stroked by a woman' soft ham1. Man's
trusque ways and rough hand startle
her, and his hoarse voice is not agreeable
when it wakens Brindle from her dreams
of clover and bran mush.
Holland is a country where 'the cow
and the woman reign supreme. The cows
ndeed, are a part of the family, and on
' f the latter always sleeps in the stable
to watch. The cow stable is generally a
large building, paved with brick, upon
which the cows lie ' in the absence of
straw, which is scarce. There is a 1 brick
paved passage down the center, at the
end of which is a fireplace and the win
dows are covered with white curtains, as
dainty as those used in the house
proper. Sometimes the entire family
will gather in the stable in the evenings.
enjoying me warmtn ol the lire and ex
changing the talk of the day, .while the
cattle, always placed with their heads
fae ing the central passage, chew their
cuds and almost seam to enjoy the human
compa nionship. Surely the imagination
of poet nor artist ever conjured up a
more domestic scene than this. The
woman and the cow in close juxtaposition
the woman busy with her knitting needle,
that emblem of peace and effection, and
the co w gazing on with tur lustrous eyts
waiting patiently to be milked. Burns
must have had this scene in view when
he wrote his infinitely tended "Cotter's
Saturday Night." Yes, cows love women,
and for the same reason that . all other
living things loe then, and the dairy
proves, as few -other places do, what
great factors love and kindness are in
all the affairs of life.
The Dutch are a happy people, . and
nothing contributes more to their enjoy
ment than their home-like herds of cows
They are also an important factor in the
national prosperity, few countries excell
ing Holland in the output of superior
milk and butter. Because of the fertility
of the pasurage and the care taken in
their keep, the cows are capable of giving
large yeilds of rich milk. In no place in
the world are cows made as much of, and
from the annual yeild of butter it , would
seem that the tare is, not taken vain.

Saved By Dynamite
Sometimes, a flaming city I saved by
dynamiting a space that the fire can't
cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so
long, you feel as if nothing but dynamite
would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoun,
Ga., writes: "My wife had a, very ag
gravated cough, hich kept her awake
nights. Two physicians could not help
her; so she took Dr. King's New Dis
covery 'for Consumption, Cough and
Cold, which eased her cough, gave her
deep, and finally cured her." Strictly
scientific cure for bronchitis and La
Grippe, for sale by Newlin Drug Co,
Price 60c and $1.00; guaranteed. Trial
