COW WITH A WOODEN LEG.

enough, but if placed in a pasture
where the food is insufficient or too
poor in quality the quiet cow will soon
develop rowing instincts and will break
through fences in order to get at what
she likes.
A. H. Hartwig, veterinary surgeon
of Watertown, Wis, has just removed
the injured leg of valuable COW be-
longing to farmer Of Ixionia and has
fitted the stump with a serviceable
wooden leg. The farmer did not want
to lose his COW by shooting. the usual
American manner of curing such in
juries, so the surgeon was called. The
medical man decided he could remove
the leg, and when it was sufficiently
healed he could adjust an artificial
limb, which would answer all practical
purposes.
Much of the abuse of cows is due to
hired help on the farm. George E.
Newell, writing in the Boston Guilt
vator, says that the average hired man
does not study into the why's and where
fores of things. He simply performs the
labor mapped out for him to do either
in good, bad or Indifferent manner. It
is to him so much manual or mechanical
labor, nothing more.
The dairyman tells his man to go and
get the cows and milk them. but he
fails to tell him what to do and what
not to do in carrying out this procedure.
To expedite matters the hired man
may as a beginning take along a shep
herd dog to the pasture and bring the
cows in ON the run. In milking he fol-
lows out his own way rather than any
plan directed by his employer.
He brushes or does not brush the
COWS udders, according as he sees fit,
dips his fingers in the milking pail to
moisten their teats at his own pleasure.
strips them hastily or treats the animals
roughly, as inclination moves him, His
instructions go no further than TO say,
milk the cows " with no orders as to
how TO milk them.
Subordinates engaged in dairy work
should be us we'll trained il what they
are to do and how they are to do it as
are soldiers. The mind that directs the
dairy and sees that his directions are
infinitely followed is the one that will
make the dairy pay.

CARE OF COWS.

Gentle Treatment Has Much to DO With
Dairy Profits.
The dairyman who treats his cows
with the most consideration is the
dairyman who makes the most money.
When we'll fed and not disturbed about
her calf, the average COW will lie and
chew the cud of contentment for hours,
and while thus undisturbed will secrete
all the milk possible from the food she
has eaten. Yet the domestic COW, if she
be good mixer. has a capacity for be-
coming nervous and excitable such as
the OK or spayed COW cannot rival. At
all times the first class milk COW must
be a hearty feeder. So long as she is
given all she wants she may be quiet

So account Of the life of Judge James
B. Bradwell of Chicago by his daugh-
Ter tells story of the deeply religious
training of his childhood He had the
old fashioned faith in the efficacy of
prayer before he was Of sufficient age
to understand the reasonable limits of
such petitions.
Once, when James was only 8 years
old, the wagon was sent TO Chicago for
provisions Five days elapsed. The
wagon was detained, and the Bradwell
family was without food and without
a man to provide it. Little James, as
usual with egen small boys Of the time
and place, was a good shot His mother
loaded the gun for him, and he started
out to see what he could shoot to sup
ply the table,
In due time he saw two prairie chick
ensnot far away. He got his gun ready
and then took hong enough to pray
thus:
go Father, if you will just let me
bring down those two chickens I'll give
your minister the choice of the pair y
Me trigger was pulled and down
game the two prairie chickens, James
believed the shot to be direct answer
to his prayer. He took the two birds to
Elder Snow, the minister, and told him
of the circumstances
The good. elder took long time to
examine the two chickens, in order to
be quite sure that he got the better of
the two, because, he said, he thought
it best that the boys compact should
be faithfully carried out
