Show Cows Highly Prized. The cows of Periguex, France, which serve not only as milk givers, but as draft animals, are highly prized by their peasant owners, and nothing that can add to the comfort of the valuable valu-able animals is neglected. They" are protected from the annoyance of swarms of flies which infest that part of France by quaint hand-crocheted veils which cover the entire head ahd hang down almost to the ground. The veils themselves are works of art, with long silky fringes of varying hues, or borders of crocheted lace. In schools which are aided by the Junior Red Cross of America, French children are taught to crochet, and so can make these useful veils. |
