RUNS HOUSE AND GARDEN

WONDERFUL 95-YEAR-OLD WOMAN DOES EVERYTHING BUT MILK COWS £Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, May 10. Octogenarians and even nonogenarians are not uncommon in Auckland, but Mrs C. A. Henwood', of Mangere, who was ninety-five last week, is out of the ordinary. She rises every day at 5 o’clock, makes tea for the men before they begin milking, and then does all the work in a ten-roomed twostoried house. She accepts her sons’ help in the flower garden, which is large, but the vegetable garden, which supplies all the household needs, is entirely her own care. , She was digging with a spade in it when interviewed yesterday. She also refuses help to chop kindling wood for the house. She does not now do any milking, because when she was eightyseven she fell and broke both her wrists. Airs Henwood has never worn glasses and reads the newspapers every day. She is only 4ft llin in height and weighs about 7st.
