Valorous Cows

The editor of the Condón (Or.) Globe eaw a deed of cow valor that was worth recording as well as seeing. A herd of cattle, and ainong them two cows, accompanied by their calves, were grazng in tall dead grass when the calves sécame separated a little from the rest of the herd. Just then two huge, hnngry coyotes crept up through the grass, cut off the calves from the rest of the cattle and started in pursuit of them. After running about 200 yards the calves camo ioahigh, fivewire, barbed wire fence, and, beiug small, managed to get ;hrough it. On the other side of the 'ence was an open pasture. The wolves quickly followed tho calves through the fence and were rapïdly raiining them down on the other side, when the two cow mothers discovered what was going on. Each uttered a loud bellow, hoisted her tail and started for the rescue. It appeaxed to be a hopeless chase, for the wire fence intervened, and tho cows were certainly ïnuch too large to ?et through it. Theyknew well enough that it was there, and could, besides, see it plainly, but both cows plunged Sogether straight into it. The watching editor, horrified, looked to seb them hurled back, frightfullj wounded, bul instead one of the posts gave way under the onslaught the wires sank down, and in another moment the mothers were on the pasture side of the fence, badly cut and bleeding, but still able to charge the wolves Buccessfully and put them to flight. Soon the cows were licking the rescued calves affectionately, and the coy otes were howling a disappointed duet from the summit of a knoll near by.
