A Mistake Somewhere.
The old cow walked by the dairy shed And she said, in her ruminant way, she said : " I'm feeling about as fine, as silk, But I'd like to drink my own good milk." And looking around, she presently spied ,- A pail, a-standing the door beside, It was butter-milk about two days old, But the aged vaccine hadn't been told, ■^So Bhe only remarked, " It's mean to bilk :iAn industrious cow of her-.own good milk," JAnd 6he took a drink, anil she looked surprised, ' - "■' ■••■ •; She wallwd away, and. that cow surmised, She surmised about half -way down the lane, And said in astonishment mixed with pain : " To judge by the flavour of that 'ere milk I can't be feeling as fine as silk, I must be billious, I bet a hat, When I get to giving down milk like that !" — Farm Neios.
