MILK CANS
AS WATER-WINGS FOR CATTLE.
Westfield, Mass., Nov. 9. "Water-wings” have been used for many years for aquatic novices, but it remained for T. J. Dewey, a local farmer, to devise such means for floating cows. ■When the recent flood waters descended upon Dewey’s farm he was confronted with the problem of saving his herd of cows. Thn "waterwing” idea crystallised. Twenty-gal-lon milk cans with the stoppers firmly plugged in were attached to the cows. When the flood grew deep the cows just floated until they struck terra firma again.
