CURE FOR A KICKING COW.
There Arc Many Prescriptions, but the
Subjoined Is Recon- nm ended,

There Arc Many Prescriptions, but the
subjoined Is Recommended.
An old farmer-old enough to know
better-says that the way to cure n
COW of kicking is to catch her by the
leg just rs she is about to kick. She
should be grasped firmly. rs close to
the hoof as possible, and the grip must
not relax until the kicking impulse is
over. OF course the kick must be
headed Off, as 1t were, and not met
half way, nor even three-Quarters way.
1t is good idea to get the hired man
to accustom himself to this simple
fact, but at the same time it must not
be forgotten that good hired man
can easily be spoiled by careless mat
tention TO directions.
AT first 1t might be well to use
cowcatcher or possibly an ordinary
fender, together with catcher's mask
and padded gloves. Naturally 1t will
be well to conceal your appearance
from the COW as much as possible, be-
cause so many COWS are timid and
easily scared by strange objects. Then
when the COW slightly raises her hoof
and shivers apprehensively along the
ankle don't wait for further develop
ments. but grasp the lower leg firmly
and hang on for dear life.
A man named Mullins had kicking
cow of fourteen horsepower and some
body told him about the grab-the-leg
cure. Mullins told 1t to his hired man.
The hired man had had the milking
stool kicked from under him several
times and the milk pail battered into
scrap tin and he said he would be glad
to try the recipe. So he put on n pill
low for chest protector and jumped
for the leg US soon as he saw the pre-
monitory symptoms.
well, sir, he went through the sta.
BILE window as neat as you please, TAX
ing the sash along with him. When
Mullins reached him he was as dazed
as a mudlark.
'Nearthquake?' he feebly muttered.

But Mullins thought he knew,

father, Frederick Krupp, hard, rough
man, unlettered, with a vile temper,
suspicious, narrow-minded, covetous
and saving of his marks. He boarded
with all the avidity of miser and
died in the early '3O's, leaving to his
son Alfred his fortune and the plod.
ding, persistent part Of his nature.
Alfred was genius in his way. He
began life with two workmen and left
life with 10000 workmen hammering
and sweating in his works. turning
his iron into steel and his steel into
gold. His experiments were not always
successful, and the disappointments he
suffered would have broken an ordi-
nary mans heart. But lie toiied on.
and after years of trial he succeeded
In casting huge blocks of the finest
steel.
He rapidly improved on the quality
of his steel, and the fame of his inven-
lions began to be noised abroad. He
borrowed $4,000 from one bank, $685.
600 from another and began to build
FORCES. He, never rested. One inven-
tion and discovery after another re-
warded his labors until, almost by acct
dent, he discovered how to make steel
wheels without n seam. Then he was
overwhelmed with orders. Three years
after borrowing the S37, 800 he repaid 1t
and had erected buildings and furnaces
valued Mt $250,O00.
