LIGHTS FOR COWS’ TAILS
A cow driven in a country lane, or highway on a dark night should have a red danger lamp on her tail! That was the decision of .an American judge, in the State of Connecticut, the other day. A farmer was leading his cow home on a very dark night, when sudr denly a motor-car coining round a curve in the road ran into the cow. The was killed, and the motor-car skidded into a tree.
The farmer and the driver of the car almost came to blows in the darkness. The farmer demanded the pr.ee of liis cow, the driver the cost • f repairs to his car. The judge decided ."gainst the farmer. He should have pla< od a lantern on the tail of .bis cow if lie took her along the road .on dark* night. Since motor-cars and horsedrawn waggons must have ’•ear-lights, a cow should also, was his verdict.
