COW HOUSES.
The cow houses of the parish have been kept under
constant supervision, and considerable pressure has
been put upon the cow keepers to compel them to
improve their drainage and paving arrangements. I
am happy to be able to report that a considerable
amount of success has followed the action of the Committee
in this direction.
