An early attempt in his childhood, when the cow kicked him off the stool, settled his convictions about milking and although he grew to be six feet tall and has smoked for 70 years, the perils of milking got him down. But a man with fifteen child- ren and a robust wife has never needed to worry over who attended to the wild bossies on his farm. So Mr. Cum- mings holds the record as a non-milk- ing fanner. â€" Ex.
