Dairy Idols.
Cows become favorites WJt11 tholr.
owners not altogether by reason of
the mill. the ) ' IJrolluco. We have
Imown cows that their owners thought
11 gl'eat delll of because or the Idndly
disposition or the Itnlmals. Ono cow
that the \\'I'ltor rememuers , gave but '
11 few lIuarts or mlll11. . day , but she
was a pet of the family. She wouhl
1refer the company of members of
"tho CamU ) ' mther tlUlI1 of other cows.
It the cows were bolug taken to pasture -
turo Rho would Insist on wal1dng by
the silio or the ono In charge of the
hord. It Is hard to ardor a cow of this
Idnd sent to the hutchcr , and man ) '
people will not do It. Instead , the ani

to the herd moro cows n.fter their own
aulllty not to ) Jroduco ml1l , . Those
may fairly ho call eel dairy hlo18. 'rhelr
owners claim gleat : things for them
without boln able to suostantlnte the
truth or what they sa ) ' .
But tl10 family pef Is not the only
brand of dah'y Idol. There nre the
general )1111'11080 ) cows thut Iulte ) generally
orally have the entlro confidence or
) tholr owners as to their grent value.
' 1'he ) ' are Idols that the slnglo purpose-
cow men Jmvo domollshed again and
again , to their own satisfaction , uut
they , are still to bo found all over the
land.
'l'ho dairy Idol Is a thing that can bo
