Feet First Into Trouble!
On dairy farms the cussedness of cows is accepted with humour and a certain tolerance, but one of the herd testers in this district has reason to believe this tolerance business can be taken too far.

The tester, figuring out the situation, thought the obvious play was to climb through the. window and say "shoo," or words to that effect. So he acted on. the. hunch;and landed with his feet in what he thought to be a puddle from the last wash-up. He came up cursing the cow and wanting to know what the adjectival so-and-so possessed anyone to dig an eight-foot well in a shed. It is unreliably reported that the cow grinned wickedly.
