said:
The true dairy type is that type
which. generally speaking, can be re-
lied on to produce the greatest GUAM
tity of milk and butter and cheese. A

4 Friend In Congress.
The Hon. Daniel Linn Gooch Of the
Sixth congressional district of Ken
lucky is known as Letter Writing
Daniel because of his faithfulness in
answering every letter written him.
He is noted for his earnest zeal in the
promotion Of the interests of the farm
err, and in q recent interview he said:
''The country can't do too much for
the farmer, for unless the farmer is
prosperous there can be no real pros
perity It is seldom that the man who
follows the plow appeals to congress
for legislation, and when he does come
knocking at the door he should be
heard, and if his request is reasonable
it should be granted. That is why 1
voted for the ELECTROMAGNETIC bill
and why am for protecting the COW
and in favor of all other legislation
that will benefit the man behind the
plow."
To Keep Cow From Kicking.
Take strap that will reach around
the cows body and a piece of board
about six inches square. Tack to the
board two pieces of leather so as to
make two loops. Put the strap around
the cows body forward Of the udder
and through the loops on the board,
letting the board come against her
flank on the side you sit to milk. She
can't kick forward. Let her step around
for few minutes. then sit down to
milk. The device is very simple and
easily put on, and after three or four
times trying the cow will give no more
trouble.
