FARM NEWS AND VIEWS
By Henry G. Wiley
Butts County Farm Agent;
WHAT IS A COW?
Perhaps you had never thought
of the answer you would give if
asked this question, and the answer
would be expected to vary considera
bly as the use of the cow might
vary.
But on account of her ability to
produce the only perfect food —
milk—perhaps .more people would
answer this question by saying “The
cow is the foster mother of the
human race” than in any other way.
Someone whose name we do not
know has endeavored t 6 answer the
question in the following language:
The cow is a female quadruped
with an alto voice and a countenance
in which there is no guile. She col
laborates with the pump in the pro
duction of a liquid called milk, pro
vides the filler for hash, and at last
is skinned by those she has benefit
ed, as mortals commonly are.
The young cow is called a calf,
and is used in the manufacture of
chicken salad.
The cow’s tail is mounted aft and
has a universal joint. It is used to
disturb marauding flies, and the tas
sel on the end has unique education
al value. Persons who milk cows and
come in contact with the tassel have
vocabularies of peculiar und im
pressive force.
The cow has two stomachs. The
one on the ground floor is used as
a warehouse and has no other, func
tion. When this one is filled the
cow retires to a quiet place where
her ill manners will occasion no
comment and devotes herself to
mmination. The raw material thus
Pimples, Boils,
Skin Eruptions
Skilled physicians recognize the
appearance of pimples, boils and
other skin eruptions as being an in
dication of an abnormal condition
of the system. This is why so many
thousands have been enabled to free
themselves of these unsightly blem
ishes and painful annoyances by
taking a course of S.S.S.
“I suffered from impure blood—
was weak, and I had lost so much
weight, I didn’t look natural. I had
pimples and was also bothered with
a breaking-out that itched terribly.
I also had boiis one after another.
I tried different kinds of remedies,
but nothing did me any good until

conveyed for the second time to the
interior of her face is pulverized
and delivered to the auxiliary
stomach, where it is converted into
milk.
The cow has no upper plate. All
her teeth are parked in the lower
part of her face. This arrangement
was perfected by an efficiency ex
pert to keep her from gumming
things up. Asa result she bites up
and gums down.
The male cow is called a bull and
is lassoed along the Colorado,
fought south of the Rio Grande and
shot in the vicinity of the Potomac.
A slice of cow is worth 8 cents
in the cow r , 14 cents in the hands of
the packer and $2.40 in a restaurant
that specializes in atmosphere.

advise all weak and run-down peo
ple to give S.S.S. a trial. It clears
up the skin; makes you strong and

is time-tried arid reliable.
S.S.S. is sold at all good drug
