WHEN YOU KNOW HOW.
Then the Milking of Fractious Hetf-
ers La Not as Hard as Ii Secms
at First Glance.

l have kept this past winter 10 heif
which have already come in. l have
had the question asked several time
by farmers if ! did not have GOOD deal
of trouble in breaking them TO being
millied. and when have said NO"
surprise has been expressed. and the
remark made that they nearly always
have great deal of troublesome say
ing that he usually had TO wrestle long.
and have his pal! kicked away from
him many times. before he could sub
due the animal and take the kinks out
of her. AS many Others may have
had a similar experience. il NAV in
terest them to learn how such trouble
can be avoided.
In caring for my heifers. have had
them carded two or three times week
and when doing so. have handled their
bags and teats carefully from either
side. so that they became familiar with
such handling: so when they came in.
they were not frightened at an attempt
to milk them. But TO them the act of
milking was a new thing. and they
would be sometimes restless. and some
would spitefullv kick. In such cases.
if gentle patting and word would not
prove effective. I took chain and put it
over the back and around the BODY,
just in front of the bag. hitching it
somewhat tight. This always proves
effective: sometimes one trial is suni-
Gent. or perhaps it needs TO be used
several times, but it is always sure
without hurt to animal. it's disposition
or temper.
One farmer. when told how ensv it
was TO break q COW from kicking. said
such knowledge would have saved him
many hard tusse and good mixer.
as he had TO turn TO beef an otherwise
valuable cow.--Charles O. Newton, In

Horse Exports Increasing.

Official figures from Washington
show marvellous growth in the ex-
ports of horses. The value of exports
OF horses in January, 1899, was $780,
600, and in January. 1900. it reached
the enormous figures of S634,OO0 Ten
years ago, there was no export trade
worth mentioning. The export trade
In mules has also increased enormous

been exported in January. 1900, val
ued at S5337,034, Much of the mule
buying has been on English account
for the Transvaal war, and may never
again reach present proportions. yet
there is no predicting what may be
the effect on the foreign demand for
the good qualities of the American
mule. But the export of American
horses is sure to increase unless the
surplus becomes exhausted

THE COW IN SUMMER.
Is More Potent Than Most
Dairymen Admit.

Since the year one, luXuriant pas
ture has been the ideal cow food lor
making fine milk and butter. Even
TINS. however, must be taken with n
qualification. The cow tells us that
to her taste the moderately short
grass of the pasture is better for ner
uses than the long. rank grass that
grows from her droppings. for noth-
ing but semi-starvation will make her
eat that rank growth. This fact sug-
gests that the best milk cannot DE
made from grass grown on ground
that has been artificially made too
rich. The critical dairyman quickly
detects the strong, pungent odor of
milk made from cows feeding on rank
growths of red clover and some other
grasses. l have had my own butter
spoiled in that way. while have
opened tubs OF butter in the store
that sent its odor to the farthest end
OF the room. The effect of fresh
grass on butter is always marked and
sometimes radical. Under the new
dispensation of no artificial color the
effect of grass is a factor to be count
ed with. Even under the old order of
things, when the COWS fed on red
clover. the Jersey gave such deep
color to the butter that every one
thought it artihcially colored How
are we to meet this difficulty? Per
haps by heating up to 50 or 90 degrees
to Kill the color. as is always the cf-
feet in cheese making Fresh grass
makes a quick flavor that favors the
poor buttermaker. but the man who
knows how can make just as finely
favored butter from good ensilage-
