The Common Cow Described In Quirky Historical Note
A reprinted excerpt humorously outlines “the common cow” as a mobile leather machine with a mower and fertilizer spreader on one end and a milk dispenser and insect repeller on the other. It mentions a central conversion plant and varied production capacities from one to 20 tons yearly, with prices up to fifty dollars. The piece also notes a Brandon Legion Bonspiel and social events with local figures, hospital visits, and reflections on weather and loyalty.
