My method is this: Take them from the
COW at two days old and teach them TO drink
new milk. When they have learned well,
mix little warmed SKINNED milk with the
new. adding more and more until they will
drink all SKINNED, and that without warming.
Then add little sour milk, and gradually
increase the quantity until they will take III
sour. This they will generally do by the
tune they are two or three weeks old.

To PREVENT Cows FROM KICKING.-Mr.
Smith, of Saratoga county, New York. says
ne subducs refractory cows thus: Take a
rope or leather strap, eighteen inches long,
and fas'en the two ends firmly together. Raise
the fore leg off the animal, upon the side Of the
mixer, and bending the foot back upon the
leg, slip the strap or rope over the knee joint,
so that the animal cannot get her foot upon
the ground. This will prevent the possibility
of the cows kicking. for, to raise either hind
foot she must stand upon both fore feet
When properly adjusted the pail is safe''

CURE FOR SHYING. --lfa lady's horse be
addicted to Shying, will give her a sure and
simple cure for the same: one which | have
never known to fail. Let u.s. for instance,
suppose the existence Of heap of stones on
the near side Of the road. The horse sees an
ndlstinct grey object, and prepares to shy at
1t. The moment he shows such symptoms.
let his fair rider turn both her eyes on exact
ly opposite side of the road, and look stead
lily away from the offending heap. and | u en-.
gage that the horse will walk quietly by
For many years | have ridden horses of all
ttmpcrs and dispositions, some of them much
given to Shying, and have never yet found this
simple remedy to fail in its effect. Let those
who scoil at me try it. The reason is this: -
The human eye has, doubtless. great inAu
cace on all animals, and there is a strong and
secret sympathy between the horse and his
rider.--The horse sees an indistinct object,
and looks doubtu!iy at it: his rider becomes
alarmed, imagining that fhc animal is going
to commit some .ccentrcity: the fear is com.
municated to the animal, and he starts in ter.
ror from theoniect which has frightened him:
whereas, if he finds that his rider sits unmov-
cd and unconcerncdly, he regains his conf
dcnce, and goes on in the even tenor of his
way believe that one half cf our horses
are ruined for life by being chit over the
head" by grooms, to cure them of shying.
