Some such COWS, and perhaps the great
majority Of such COWS, are profitable.
Those possessing outward dairy points

An Enthusiastic Dairyman.
We hear much said that better COWS
do not pay the average farmer. have
six COWS one-half Jerseys. I give my
COWS the same kindness and courtesy
I would bestow on some pretty young
lady. Boys, some of you may get hurt
in your headlong rush over each other
to pay homage to this young lady; now,
just put as much care and attention
on few really good COWS. You'll be
surprised with the result. I court in
spection Of my COWS and their treat
ment. From April 1, 1901, to Jan. 1,
1902, have sold butter 1922, milk $25,
six calves $50; total, $2S7. The feed
was a balanced ration of cornmeal,
wheat bran or rye meal and oats, with

A 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
er, and in recent interview he said:
1.-THE country can't do too much for
the farmer, for unless the farmer is
prosperous there can be no real pros
perity. 1t is seldom that the man who
follows the plow appeals to congress
for legislat ton, 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
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 a 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 a 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
