THE FLORIDA AGRICULrURIST.

of any value The better method is to
take a breast strap from the work
harness and buckle the hind legs Of the
animal together by placing the strap
just above the hook joints. Then tie
the COW gently and manipulate the
udder till the milk is drawn. After one
or two attempts to kick, the animal
will discover that it is useless and will
stand quietly. If the tenderness is still
present, after week or so, the appl1-
cation Of medicines may be reSorted to.
Take two drops Of turpentine to each
teaspoonful Of unsalted lard and apply
to the udder after each milking. II
there is any slight soreness IN the
quarters, this will remove it. Massage
the mixture we'll into the skin by gently
rubbing after the mixture has been
applied
1t may be that the udder has been
bruised in such way that there are no
external indications Of the bruise. If
care is used in milking for few weeks,
the injury will heal and the animal
will cease kicking.

The Value Of Manure.

A system OF yarding range cattle
at night on land which is desired to
enrich for the purpose of growing a
CROP is quite common in this state,
and is known as cow-penning. Farm
ers know that they get better crops
on cow-penned land, yet verv few,
If any, Of them have any real idea
OF the value Of the manure. Of
course, the manure from cattle which
are not ted but simply range in the
woods, is not so rich as that from
stalled steers, yet it is certain that
tine value OF one being known it will
be possible to arrive at some concep-
ton of the comparative worth Of the
other. Farm and Ranch prints an
account Of an experiment, which is
as follows:
In the poor sandy pine belt of Mis-
s1ss1ppi an experiment has been COM
pleted by the Mississippi Experiment

A Kicking Heifer.

We find the following in an exchange
credited to the Agricultural Journal:
A Florida reader has heifer that
kicks a great deal while being MIXED.
She is quite tame, having been petted
since she was little calf. Such AMI
mails never kick unless there is a
cause. There may be some derange-
ment of the udder, or there may SIM
ply be a tenderness which causes her
to object to the manipulation. If the
cause is sought out and overcome the
trouble can be quickly corrected.
The application of medicine is rarely

Station which SHOWS beyond the per-
adventure Of doubt the great value
Of manure on those lands. In the
fall and winter Of I0o2-3 thirty head
Of steers were penned on five acres
of land and fed for a hundred days
on cotton seed meal and hulls. The
troughs were moved at intervals to
distribute the droppings we'll over the
entire area and the land was ploWed
several times to prevent the manure
from washing.
The land was then planted in corn
and cotton for the three succeeding
years. The yield Of the unfertilized
land was 4o5 pounds of seed cotton
per acre per year, and the "steer-pen-
ned land, 1858 pounds per acre per
year, an increase Of 848 pounds Of
seed cotton per acre or 2544 pounds
per acre for the three years taken
together Figuring the lint as one
third Of the seed cotton and valulng
it at the low price Of 10 cents per
pound, the total value Of the increas-
ed lint is $848o for each acre for the
three year period. Counting up the
number Of days the steers were fed
and the number Of steers per acre,
| figure that their manure brought a
return Of little over "A cents per
steer per day, saying nothing of the
value Of the seed.
In the corn experiment the yield
on the "steer-penned" land was PA
bushels per acre more than on the
unfertilized land, for each year, or 64.2
bushels for three years. At SO cents
per bushel this increase was worth
$32.5o or 5.4 cents per steer per day.
There were other details to the ex-
pertinent, but there are too many fig
ures for one article. Suffice it to say
that acid phosphate gave splendid re-
suits in addition to the manure. This
is in line with the results at other
experiment stations and indicates that
where much manure is used, acid
phosphate is the one thing needtul.
| hope some Of the "mOssbacks'
who won't use manure because it
burns up their crop, will study these
figures and, better still, reform their
practices. Those who wish all the
details of this experiment should send
for bulletin 90 Of the Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station, Mcneil, Miss. The
writer ventures the opinion that the
results might have been still better
If the same amount Of manure had
been distributed over ten acres in
stead Of five.

Home Protection.

In view Of the numerous outrages
Of tramps and vicious wanderers, it
is important that some means Of pro-
tecting the farmers home should be
found Probably a good dog IS as
reliable as anything which can be de-
vised. Next would be to teach every
woman to use arms and to keep a
pistol within reach at all times when
alone
Where a system Of farm telephones
exists, some such an organization as
is described by the American Guilt
vator would be a good thing:
The lack Of thorough police service
is a common complaint Of city peo-
pie who have gone to the country
to live Few small towns can afford
to keep policemen, and the occasional
services rendered by constables are
not always sufficient to preserve law
and order. The increasing number
Of foreign laborers in some localities
has compelled the residents to take
special measures for their own pro-
lection. Farmers in half dozen dis
themselves as minute men to give
their ne1gnDOrhOOd SpeC1al prOIeCt1O1l
The members can be summoned by
telephone in a moment to the aid of
any person who may need help or
protection against burglars, thieves,
and the like. They call themselves
the Farmers Troops, and have formed
a regular organization, and obtained
the right to bear arms. The move
ment might we'll be initiated in other
localities. The sentiment for law and
order is usually very strong in farm
ing sections, but sometimes fails to
control, owing to the lack of some
such working organization.

was that he was not doing any
thing, but he said his stock trained
to work without a driver, and of
course the horses we're moving
along through the field, but by
the way, they did not stay witt
