This cow that only gave 78 pounds, I got her of Mr. Camp- 

 bell here. She is a registered Holstein cow (Laughter). That 

 is the record of 1905. I will explain about this cow to you. 

 We heard that Mr. Campbell had a kicking cow that he would 

 sell for so much money. Mr. Glover told us he believed that she 

 would be pretty profitable cow for us to buy. We had quite a 

 little experience with kicking cows. I had had my mind made up 

 there was no cow that ever lived that I couldn't milk. I thought 

 Campbell was a breeder and probably didn't know much about 

 milking. The cow probably kicked a little and scared him out. 

 I went over there to see about this cow and took her home. 

 She was just almost dry. When this cow freshened we never 

 let the calf suck her. I was going to show them how to stop 

 her from kicking. I sat down to milk her, but I didn't sit there 

 long. I was very kind to her and patient. That was the only 

 way to win out, and I tried it again and she kicked. Tried it 

 two or three times. I said ''I can tie you and milk you anyway." 

 I went and got a strap and tied the cow. I tried several times 

 without the strap but couldn't do it. She taught me a lesson. 

 I was determined to milk her a year, and milk her a year I did
