THE RED COW 



closed the gate before she was poking through the 

 fence again in the most approved manner of her 

 daughter. 



That settled it. I rounded up the flock and drove 

 them into a field that is surrounded by woven wire 

 fences and left them there. The pasture doesn't 

 amount to much, but it is not likely that the weather 

 will make it possible for us to pasture them more 

 than a week or two longer, so they will have to be 

 given extra feed night and morning and have their 

 run confined to the cow-proof field. Next year, if 

 they have not forgotten the trick, they will have to 

 be sold or I will be forced to put up new fences such 

 as would not be needed for reasonable and right- 

 minded cows.
