A Kicking Cow.

There are many recommended meth
ods Of dealing with kicking cows. One,
which Is by some found to be very
effective, is to rope or strap the hind
legs together just above the hook. The
rope or strap should be put on in the
form of a figure eight, having it cross
between the legs. Some mixers ap-
ply the rope close down to the feet
and fasten it to a ring in the floor.
Rather than fasten the rope securely,
it is better at the first trial to have
an attendant to hold the rope, so that
he can loosen it in case the COW throws
herself in her effort to kick. A plan
that does no good and generally much
harm is to beat the animal This only
increases the retaliation in the form
of kicking. A kicking COW is an an
gry COW, and after one has exhausted
his efforts in attempting to socthe her
by means of patting, currying, giving
mashes, ETC., without success, the only
thing to do is to secure her in a man.
ner that she can neither kick nor in
lure herself. Cultivator.

Cost of Making Beef.


1t has been accepted as proved that
the younger an animal the lower is
the cost of putting on flesh and fat.
Some experiments have been made to
proye this, but the data are too mea-
ger to permit of the building of very
strong arguments on them. Professor
Mumford of the Illinois station has
taken up the question and is making
an experiment that will at least add
to the volume of the data if it does
not settle the question, which it prob
ably will not. Herds of various ages
are being fed at the station, and these
will be marketed as fast as ready and
careful reports compiled of the cost
of gain made on each lot. There is a
point beyond which it does not pay a
farmer to keep an animal, even
though that animal is all the time
gaining in weight. The station is try
ing to find the point at which steer
feeding must stop, if profit is to be
made. Every day after that point the
farmer is losing money and losing the
time he is putting on the care Of the
animal.

rose breasted grosbeaks. These were
placed in a cage near green bulbul
Of India. who was persistent in singing
for about nine months OF the year
The two pairs of rose breasted gros-
beaks were in cage adjacent TO that
of the bulbul. In few weeks the
song Of the two grosbeaks was so
closely an imitation of the song of the
bulbul that 1t was difficult when not
ooking at the birds to tell which spe-
cies was singing. After a month and
half the grosbeaks had abandoned
their natural song altogether.
In another instance two young hand
reared bobolinks and two red winged
blackbirds were carefully reared and,
while allowed to hear many other kinds
Of birds sing, were placed where il
was believed they could hear the songs
OF their own species. After continuous
observation Of the blaekDirds for six
weeks and the bobolinks for three, COM
petent judges well acquainted with the
songs of both species were invited to
listen to the song Of these birds with
out seeing the singers. On no occasion
was the song recognized. One listener
ascribed the song of the red winged
blackbird to the brown thrasher and
was wholly unable to form an opinion
as to what birds were singing when
listening to the song of the two bobo-
links.
Some interesting knowledge has been
obtained by rearing wild birds by fos-
ter parents. principally under hen ca
narles. The hen canary seemed as So
licitous for the young of other species
as she was for the young Of her own
kind, and so far as could be seen did
everything IN her power to rear her fos-
ter children. Forty-one different eggs
OF wild birds representing six species
were experimental with. All the forty
one were fertile and We're Matched by
the foster parent In addition, some
twenty other species Of song birds have
been brought to maturity. These birds
have been taken from their parents
when only three to six days old. and
over 30 per cent were successfully
reared by hand.
