A NEW KIND OF COW.

He was a Milkman and resided in the vicinity of Papauui or Caycrshara. He invented a new kind of cow, and had his dairy stocked with it, and the consequence was his milk was ‘ too good !’ It was, in fact, pure cream, and after he had reduced it by 100 per cent of water he took samples to Professors Bickerton and Black, and these learned vegetarians having fried them with their lacto-hydrometcrs and other engines of science, pronouncnd the samples pure milk without a trace of the artesian animal in their composition. Consequently he went homo happy, and got up with the lark next morning and started on his round. He was engaged on a a commutation of his profits, reckoning the artesian flow from his pipes at 1500 gallons a day—and milk at -Id per quart—the question, arose how many ccws did he require to enable him to utilise all this moisture. His first customer was waiting for him, and he poured the fluid into her jug ; she looke d at it critically, and handing it hack observed she had a pump of her own in the hack yard. The milkman seized the jug, and looked in it for full five minutes ; he then unroofed his several pitchers, and looked long and lovingly into each. Heaving a deep sigh, and wiping the perspiration from Ms brow, he handed the woman the empty jug, remarking, as lie turned his horse homeward again, ‘ Blow’d it I ain’t forgot to put the milk in!’—The Peoples Journal.
