Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 October 1907 — An Untaught Cow. [ARTICLE]

An Untaught Cow.

Down on a southern plantation the dairy hands were accustomed to do the milking squatting down in a prliriitive fashion, until the owner introduced milking stools with other improvements. But the initial experiment with the innovation was not exactly a success. The darky who first sallied forth with the stool returned bruised and battered and with an empty pail. “I done my best, sah,” he explained. “Dat stool looked all right to me, but de blamed cow she fron’t sit on it!” — Woman’s Home Companion.
