AIR WINNERS
Swisher dairymen same away
om the TriState Fair last week
ith their share of the laurels
Last week a town boy went
to the city to see some country
That puts us right back where
we started but here is the situation
This particular boy had
never been in close contact with
agriculture particularly livestock
At the TriState Fair last week
he broke the ice Of course he
didnt really break the ice because
it wasnt cold enough to freeze
The point is ho saw a cow
So that you dear reader may
know more about this typical
West Texas product a cow we
quote the young mans definition
from here on
The cow is a female quadruped
with an alto voice and a countenance
in which there is no guile
She collaborates with the
pump in the production of a liquid
called milk provides the filler
for hash and at last is skinned
by those she has benefitted as
mortals commonly arc
The young cow is called a calf
and is used in the manufacture
of chicken balad
The cows tail is mounted aft
and has a universal joint It is
used to disturb marauding flics
and the tassel on the end has
unique educational value Persons
who milk cows often come in contact
with the tassel and generally
improves in vocabulary or rather
branches out
The cow has two stomachs
The one on the ground floor is
used as a warehouse and has no
other function When this one is
filled the cow retires to n quiet
place where her ill manners will
occasion no comment and devotes
herself to belching The raw materials
thus conveyed for the second
time to the interior of her
face is pulverized and delivered
to the auxiliary stomach where
