cow ENJOYMENT 



gate of the pasture field the cows manage to have 

 considerable fun every night and morning in spite of 

 wild yells and the use of a buggy whip. Sometimes, 

 when driving through the country, I see straw-stacks 

 to which the cows are allowed free access, and most 

 of them are so rubbed out at the bottom that they 

 look like big mushrooms. I shouldn't wonder but it 

 is a good thing for the cows, too. There is an old 

 proverb which says, "Laugh and grow fat," and who 

 knows but the cows might lay on beef more rapidly 

 if allowed to enjoy themselves in this way. I offer 

 this suggestion to the scientific department for ma- 

 ture consideration. ' Although they have done well, 

 there may be a few tricks about beef-raising that 

 may have escaped their attention, because they have 

 been considering the matter so seriously.
