Baby Blue Ran Into The Water.

Baby Blue ran into the water, but never having been near any water except that in the drinking trough in the lot, she knew nothing about a lake or deep water, and before she knew it she stepped into a hole and under she went.

Miss. Long Legs!

Miss-Long-Legs-Cow-&-Calves

Miss. Long Legs took it at a bound.

“Mercy, see that cow run!” exclaimed the red cow. “The farmer discovered her and set his dogs on her.”

“Land sakes!” exclaimed old Brindle, “she is going to run into that barbed wire fence without seeing it.”

But no, Miss. Long Legs took it at a bound, showing it was not the first fence of the kind she had jumped.

“Oh, what a shame! Just see what a lot of corn she has knocked over and trampled down, dodging those dogs.”

“Here she comes now!” exclaimed the red cow. “Let us be very cool to her to show her we don’t approve of such high-headed, ill-bred manners as one neighbor’s cow stealing corn out of another neighbor’s field.”

A Calf in a Pail!

“Stuck their whole head into it.”

When the calves were a little older, the farmer tried to teach them to drink out of a pail, but they either upset it, put their foot into it, or stuck their whole head into it so deep that when they came out even their eyes were filled with milk.

Snobby British Durham Meets Texas Long-Horned Bull!

Illustration:  Clear the Road.  COWS AND CALVES.  Written by Frances Trego Montgomery.  Illustrations by Hugo Von Hofsten.  Barse & Hopkins Publishers: New York. 1912.

“Clear the road! Get off the bridge! I’m coming!”

. . . the Durham started on a run, bellowing as he went and hooking cows, calves, dogs, or anything else that came along, roaring at them to get out of the way and not to stand taking up the road when their betters wished to pass.

“Clear the road! Get off the bridge! I’m coming!” roared the Durham.

“Who are you that thinks he owns the earth?” quietly mooed back the long-horned bull”

“You’ll see if you don’t get off that bridge and give me some room to pass, and tell your herd of common cows to get to the side of the road out of my way.”
