Zy Joe MarsE What's New with Cows? Catching up on my reading. I noticed three news items you might like to know about. First, a farmer whose milk had a trace of garlic flavor is feeding his cows chlorophyll to sweeten their breaths. Next, a college agricultural sta tion has trained a herd to get milked when they are called by number. Seems 75 out of M cows learned their numbers in a few days. Gneee the “dumb” five couldn't count that high. Final item — cows are getting "nose- printed” for identification. From where I sit, I hope there as much progress being made with humans . . . especially in re gard to tolerance. Whether it’s a choice of a political party, a basketball team, or a favorite beverage, let’s learn to live and let live more. You may ask for a soft drink after a hard day's work — I'll choose a refreshing glass of beer. But let’s not try to *5cow” the other fellow into our way of thinking! ib Copyright, 1954, United State» llrcwai» Foundation I A R N IV A L ■ a rr Celebrate lily blossom bays With 0s T h u rsd ay, July 15 T h r u 18 RIDES - SHOWS CONCESSIONS ROBERTS AMUSEMENT COMPANY I
