How TO Handle the Heifer.
For a long time 1t was u rule not
) allow the heifer cows or yearlings
run out with the cows. As a conse-
,ence, when they arrived at the milk
hr age, we always experienced some
kouble in handling them, says u cor
espondent in National Stockman. At
be time circumstances necessitated
ur keeping a two-year-old heifer in
he herd OF COWS. We stabbed and fed
cr as we did the others. When we
rent to milk, we always stroked her
indy and with pail in hand pretend
to milk her at the same time. Nor
ere the few moments spent thus vain.
Vhen she became a cow, we did not
ave the old trouble of %"breaking the
eifer.' as heretofore. We have no
licking heifers or nervous cows in our
erd, which we attribute to this kind
treatment. as we follow out the
Ian, with always the same good re-
bit.
