Child Nature in Cows

A kentucky breeder, writing IN the
ssHolstein Friesian Magazine" says
very truly: There is large amount OF
child nature in oew's mental make
up. More, probab T, than superb
cial observer would at first admit.
But it is there and must be taken into
account, And the better this is I'M
derstood the better for the COW and
her owner. Never.punish them harder
than you would child. Never de-
ceive the cow-no more than you
would a child. A COW which was
never taught to respect the club, or
which never quailed before the vile
adicctives of i'll bred men, knows no
fear. knowing she will not be harmed,
she will follow and enter into strange
place, a new stall, railroad car or
crate with very little concern. l have
lately had the painful experience
of examining dairy herd.
The large herd, about forty COWS,
was all about me on the pastures,
but all kept at the very respectful
distance of 80 feet and no chance to
get nearer For in the same degree
that | advanced they would recede in
crawfsh fashion. When | receded
they advanced, but always keeping
the legal distance. Their ears and
noses fairly quivered while recon
noitering my parsonage from the dis
lance, while their eyes were rlveted
on me with the intentness of mind
reader. A very nervous herd. 1t is
needless to add that this was very
unsatisfactory undertaking. How
much more to the credit of the COWS
and their owners would it have been
had they showed sufficient sense to
stand quietly, hear their praise and be
dismissed. In my herd there is a con-
tinual rivalry for favors. Truly they
are given and gracefully received.

No General-Purpose Horse,

In recent lecture Hon. f. A. Der
thick said; desire to discuss briefly
the style of horse best adapted TO use
upon the farm, and to make some sug-
gestions as to his care and treatment.
What should be the weight of the
horse for ordinary farm use? Speak
ing from an experience of twenty-five
years, in which time have owned and
used upon my farm horses of all
weights, from 900 to 1000 pounds, |
believe that a horse of proper form,
weighing from LOO to 1,2O0 pounds is
the most serviceable. | would discard
the l,600-pound horse from the farm,
as l would the extra heavy wagon
for ordinary use. 1t might be conven-
lent a few times each year to have the
heavy wagon, but the objection of
drawing it around the balance of the
year would outweigh the advantage.
So with the heavy horse He would
occasionally be of greater value, but
the majority of the year he would be
supporting four or five hundred
pounds of weight to his own and his
owners disadvantage. I would prefer
three horses weighing 1000 pounds
each in place of two weighing 5000
pounds. Three horses can be almost
as conveniently used for heavy blowing,
reaping, ETC., as two, while the lighter
team can better perform the majority
of farm work, leaving the third horse
for raking, cultivating and the use of
the family. 1t sometimes happens
that in breeding or buying colt is
secured that develops into either fine
carriage animal Or a first-class road
horse. In either case it is folly to ask

branch of their business. All the pro-
cesses from the care and feeding of the
COW to the handling of the
milk and the manufacture Of
butter, are conducted on a hit
or miss plan which usually misses a
gilt edge product. The creamery
shows them at once the need of a bet
ter system of management, and pro-
vokes spirit of inquiry as to WAYS
and means. When the product is sold
each day farmers become more solicit

pocket feels it at once when they fall

Raising PIGS Without Corn.

The Oregon experiment station has
been making series of experiments
for the purpose of ascertaining if pork
can be profitably produced without the
assistance of corn. The results prove
that wheat will make pork of good
quality. The fat is very heavy and
thick, and is very firm in texture. The
lean meat was very juicy, and light in
color, which characteristic has marked
all of the results in feeding wheat to
pigs, thus far carried on at this sta
ton. In the rate of gain produced
the results will compare favorably
with those obtained from feeding corn.
In one part OF the experiment chopped
oats were used, but the pigs did not eat
them so well as they did the
chopped wheat. In concluding their
report the experlmenters say: The
results are more encouraging than any
we have reached before in our feeding
experiments. They are such as to
ins;1re profit in feeding grain to pigs,
at t:le present prices paid for pork,
and grain products, We take it for
granted that the grain is fed to good
animals, and in judicious manner.

There is no question that tubercu-

bacillary phthisis or human tubercu-

health of the people; while, on the
other hand, where horned cattle were
not kept and the people were &C.
customed to feed upon the milk of the
mare, the ass the goat, and in some
instances the sheep, this disease was
very rare if not altogether unknown. {"
