Farmer Ben Tells How to Make the Fam.
lily Cow Have Confidence Enough in You
to Give Of a Variety Of MIX That
Would Make the MiIkman's Fluid Look
Like Thirty WhItewashed Pennies.
/ Farmer Ben in his Austin Transcript
says that he treats his COW like lady and 4
the result Is that he has had all the real
butter ne wants this winter and has not Z
been scrtmped'' for cream or milk either.
Ben says
1 II learned down in old Jefferson county
/ how to reed closely and get big results. A
COW don't need to be stuffed so she grunts
| to do well. But I tell you she wants
to be kept in good warm quarters in cold :
weather and not to be fed ice-cold water
You Just ought to see my old brindle sun
herself all winter and she has been let OUT
only when it was twenty above and higher
My wife has a kettle Of hot water on every
| day to take the chill off the cows drink =
/ in water and we feed all the peelin's
and such for a appetizer. Last summer I
tgot a couple of wagon loads of mangel
wurtzels Of a little patch of my garden
and there amt a meal the cow don't get a
mess Of EN-. l feed bright timothy and
clover hay and bran and shorts with
pinch Of salt every time and you just ought
Ito see the ten-quart pail fill up towards the
top every night and mornin. I tell you if
there's any beast that appreciates good
care and pays back big returns it's the
queen Of the dairy Z
We are always glad to hear a good word
spoken for the cow Too many people
think that COW who is allowed to Craze
over pasture that has about as much
feed on it as a gravel roof in the time
of drought ought to give about five quarts
OF rich, thick, yellow cream at every
milking. The COW is not built that way
A genuine little tidbit like pailful Of APP
pie Feelings and cores placed under the:
!, cows surprised nozzle at lunch is sure to-
have its effect in the morning mikpail.
No person responds to practical affection
like the cow. We once had personal ac-
quaintance with a little two thirds Jersey
cowess who was daily surprised by some-
thing rich and juicy in the way Of Diet.
The variety of milk that she tossed off
daily was such that we freely gave up 12c!
per quart for it. That COW could have
pastured on our lawn without protest, SO
> high was our opinion of her.
Treat your COW tight, no matter what
= her pedigree.
