A Cow

(To the Editor.) Sir,—A Cow: Yes, Sir, that’s what it is. For many years Garnett road has been the long acre for one particular cow. The owners, male attendant s hueker-out or whatever he may be, religiously ejects her from the paddock after morning milking. Along oui poor unknown old lane she wanders Perhaps I am unkind in that I do not always leave my gate open. A visitor maybe omits to shut it and in walks Mrs Cow. By the lime 1 have chased her out my tidy lawn looks as though a new chum had been learning 1 .0 plough. Time and again my garden . as been trampled out of existence. Complaints apparently’ are useless

(speaking from bitter experience), although it is rumoured that on one never-to-be-forgotten occasion she was seen in the company of the ranger. Again rumour, that lying jade, hath it that they parted company very near the owner’s gate. I am assured by residents here that she must have been given carte blanche to all the property and road forever. However, Sir, being mindful of King Bruce and the gallant spider, I make this final appeal, because we never know where a tiny ray of justice may lurk. —Yours, etc., WEARY SAL. Sept. 15, 1935.
