TEACH CALVES TO LEAD.
Dr. Ga1en Wilson Relates an Incident
Containing n Lesson for Every
Dairyman,

Did you ever think what it would
be worth to you if you could put a
rope or halter on any cow on your
place and lead her off like horse
DIR. Galen Wilson gives his experience
along this line to Practical Farmer
readers as follows:
Seeing a man driving COW along
the street the other day and she dodg-
ing into every opening in the fence
along the way, and the man worry
ing, fretting,s using harsh language
and casting a stone at her occasion
ally to get her back on the street
again, reminds me of the very first
lessons I had in .tcow culture.".
My good oid "pater" kept dairy
of ten COWS always, and raised the
COWS |himselfsa When a young lad he
gave me a dollar each for teaching
the calves to be led. It was only fun
for me and I thought him very lib
eral. Later, I saw him sell cow to
neighbor for $40 and he told him
plainly that "were not the COW so
nice to be led I should charge you
but $35; but now she is worth all ]
ask you, and for that reason
Knowing that had taught the COW
to be led and received only dollar
for the service, thought at the time
that my parent~on my fathers side,''
as Artemus Ward said, had been
rather sharp and mercenary in his
dealings with me and got five dollars
for his one dollar investment.
But in this age of maintaining less
and less fences. it certainly adds five
to ten dollars to the value of good
COW to have her taught to be led;
and most cows have to be driven or
led singly sometimes, somewhere,
Teach the calf to be led and when
she's a COW she will not depart from
the early teaching.

one. man can with ease swing a heavy
load into the cart. If the brads in the
bottom of the A piece are long and
stout, the triangle can be turned down
in the rear of the cart to an angle of 80
degrees, or so. If the cart is high from
the ground make legs of the A piece
longer, to give more e.evation to the

Advantages of Drainage,

Drainage affords the conditions
which favor perfect termination,
speedy development and complete ma
turity. It admits a free circulation
of air and moisture in the soil and
makes possible both animal and vege-
table life. It breaks down and mellows
stiff and otherwise untillable soil. It
induces chemical action to take place
in the land and thus prepares plant
food. It; admits deeper root growth
and gives Q wider range from which TO
draw sustenance for the plant. 1t
makes it. possible to secure greater
benefits from the application of both
yard and commerciaImanures. It re-
duces injury to wheat and other crops
from freezing. t lengthens the time
Of tillage and renders cultivation pos
sible when it would be out Of the ques-
