Dutch Cows Given All the Comforts of Home The bovlnes are the only type of animal that furnishes man with food through Infancy and maturity and consequently are. treated with consideration consid-eration by every nation for sentimental senti-mental as well as economic reasons, receiving greater care than humans in some countries. Cows in Holland are treated with as much consideration as human beings. They have the best of food. Their sheds are furnished. They even have overcoats when they go out. There are lace curtains in the windows win-dows of many Dutch cowsheds. And the floors are laid with shining white tiles, kept spotlessly clean. Lest her tail should drag in the dirt, the Dutch cow has it held up by a neat chain from the roof. Her horns are scrubbed and polished. She is carefully groomed. She spends eight months of the year indoors. To lighten the darkness of winter the cowshed is provided with electric lights. There is also some kind of heating system.
