A kicking Cow,

mere are many recommended meth
DDS 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 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,
1t 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
mat 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
cry COW. and after one has exhausted
MS efforts in attempting to soothe her
oy means Of patting, currying, giving
mashes, etc, without success, the only
thlng to do Is to secure her in a man
her that she can neither kick nor in
!ufe herself.-American Cultvator.

The Shortage of Sheen.

michigan sheep and lamb feeders
find themselves up against a peculiar
situation, and many of them are at a
loss how to proceed" says writer in
the Detroit Tribune There are many
feeders who were Of opinion that re-
ceipts Of Western sheep at Chicago
would be larger late in the season and
have waited in the belief that they
would be able to get their orders filled
at lower prices. Present indications
look as if there would be few of the
bargains that have been offered in 9th
er years.
Never before in the history of the
Chicago yards has there been such a
pressing demand for feeding sheep and
lambs. Every day now the sheep pens
are full Of strangers who are looking
for bargains, and every desirable
bunch is caught up at high prices com.
pared with other years. The outlook
for wool and mutton was never bright
er than at present, and the general be
lief is that sheep and lamb feeders
will make plenty Of money this year
no matter what they pay for feeding
stock"

Simple Farm Gate.

The gate shown in the accompany
ing illustration is recommended by
correspondent of the Montreal ram
ily Herald. The gate is intended 1or
inside locations, upon a farm instead
of bars or swinging gates which are
troublesome and apt to get out OF or
der. The correspondent has six OF
these gates on his ranch, and expects
soon to put in as many more. 1t VIII
he noticed that the gate is not hung
on hinges. 1t consists simply or a
hurdle which stands between two
strong posts set so that the gate easily
masses back between them. The sec
ond bar of the gate rests on a cleat
A. shown in the Illustration. This
cleat consists of inch lumber, four
inches wide and II or IA inches long.
The gate will slide easily if the top of
the cleat is creased. AS the gate is
closed it slips between the two posts.
which prevent it from being pushed
either way.
Points in favor Of this gate over
