Frederick w. Plaisted, whose father

democratic mayor of this the capital

failed to go republican since 1880, when
a fusion democrat state ticket was

of Plaisted is the overthrow of three

CARING FOR
UNRULY COWS.

When q COW has been raised on the
farm and turns out unruly the owner,
generally speaking. has but himself to
blame. but as many farmers purchase
cows that are troublesome in one way
or another hint or two by an expert
dairyman regarding such animals may
prove Of interest
Some cows are confirmed ramblers
and cannot be turned by any ordinary
fence. In a case Of this kind the vice
Is due to the animal not having been
properly restricted in her wanderings
while she was growing to maturity,
and there seems to be no cure for the
vice. A preventive measure is to equip
the animal with collar and swinging
pole, but the best plan is to sell her at
the first convenient opportunity.
A cow that kicks while being MIXED
Is not beloved of the mixer. and such
a practice is Il sign that more time and
patience should have been expended
upon her when she first came down to
milk II depends somewhat upon the
individuality of the COW and how long
she has thus misbehaved herself wheth-
er her manners can be improved or
not. Try being gentle with her and
coax rather than force her TO stand
still. and frequently in the course of
time tying the legs may be dispensed
with
Many cows that do not kick have the
undesirable habit of being continually
upon the move while being MIXED.
which Is, of course. very annoying TO
the mixer This awkward habit is al
ways due to nervousness and Is near
ly always the result of having been Ill
treated at one time or another. Pet
ting the animal somewhat and milking
quietly and calmly will frequently ef-
feet a cure, but 1t may be some time
before the habit can be entirely
dropped.
Some cows will kick promptly at any
one approaching them In the stall.
This vice may occasionally be cured
by a change of stall that permits Of
the animal being approached from the
contrary side. II such move does
not cure. try persistent Kindness for Il
month or so. and il this does not bring
forth improvement see II sterner
measures have any effect. II none Of

Texas Manufactures"

A few general rules governing man
ufaCturing are OF interest IN this con
ncction. As a rule the factory double
the price OF the raw material. y lac
tory investment OF $1,000 give, EN-
plovment to one man One factory
'ahorer creates 81 300 OF wealth an
nually. These are general averages
and may not apply in every specific in
stance. We need billion dollars in
vested in factories to manufacture the
raw material we ship out OF the state.
The advantages OF the factory may
well be illustrated by the bale Of cot
ton. and what we say OF cotton applies
with equal force to most all products
Texas produces a bale OF cotton val
ued at $50. This cotton is shipped 10
England and manufactured into cotton
goods and its value doubled or $50
added to il. The finished product Is
shipped back to Texas and al the port
of entry the Federal Government
levies a tariff OF $50 per bale making
a total value OF $50 per bale instead
OF $50 as at present.

pehornino the Calves.

One Of the most humane ways for
removing horns on calves is by means
of caustic potash. Get one or more
sticks Of caustic potash and preserve
1t in a tightly corked bottle. One stick
will serve to dehorn Il number OF
calves. Apply this potash as soon as
the buttonlike horns can be felt on the
calf. which is usually when 1t Is
three or four days old. To apply the
potash remove the hair about the horn
close to the skin. moisten the potash
slightly and rub over the skin which
covers the point Of the horns until the
skin is white 1t is not necessary 10
rub the skin until blood comes. as Is
often advised. as il causes unnecessary
soreness. Wrap the caustic In heavy
paper TO protect the hands of the op-
orator. Do not moisten the caustic too
much so that the liquid will run down
the sides of the calls head. for this
will cause unnecessary pain. Fasten
the head securely and apply the pot
ash only on the spot over the horns

little improvement can be effected In
the 6ock. The impression Is carried
by many farmers that II is not i'm
portant to force the eve lambs along
the first year. as they have two sea
sons to come to maturity. consider
this a very wrong impression Of the
situation and one that has an imp0r-
tant bearing upon the Improvement Of
the flock.
Experience has taught me that much
cheaper gains can be made and much
more rapidly in the first year Of the
lambs growth than during any period
thereafter. Eve lambs that are al
lowed to stop growing the first year
never regain normal condition and, de-
spite good breeding. they fail to trans
NIT to their offspring the desirable
qualities found in their parents.
have observed eve lambs In nay
own focks that, because Of insufficient
nourishment during the sucking peri
cd. failed to make the growth they
should have made. Because Of the
good breeding behind these lambs
retained some Of them to replenish my
flock. have found that. with one or
two exceptions out of a large number
Of instances. have never secured a
lamb from these that was worth re-
tanning for breeding purposes.
am very confident that the drst
year of life determines to a large ex-
tent the future usefulness Of the ews
lamb. A eve that has been full grown
will Withstand neglect and hardship
and bring forth well developed OF
spring. But IL she has been poorly
cared for during her early life the re
verse is invariably the result.
A female of any kind must have .
strong, healthy system. with vigorous
constitution 10 withstand the natural
functions Of reproduction. These char
acteristics come into natural life dur
ing early development and not as the
animal ages
Therefore If one wants his eve lambs
to grow into strong, healthy and Wig
orous breeding stock he must begin
feeding them as soon as be can get
them to partake of food other than
that furnished by the dam. This feed
should contain the elements that will

these things answer, the best must be
made Of bad bargain, and 1t would
be well to get rid OF the animal when
the opportunity offers.
A very awkward habit some cows
acquire is that of tossing the head
just as food is being placed III the
manager. and unless the attendant is
very wary one of the horns. il the COW
has horns. may easily catch him upon
the face. Some cows that will thus
treat strangers will not continue the
practice when properly used by the
attendant, and others will treat every
body alike. One way of aiding in eff
fectng cure is for the attendant 10
ill his mouth with water before going
up to the animals head and ii she
misbehaves herself to squirt out the
water upon her head.
A by no means dangerous habit, but
one that Is very annoying to the wo-
man when work is being done at high
pressure. il that Of not standing prop
erly when It is desired to 90 up along
side the animal The legs of the ami
mai should never be hit with a stick
or with q fork or other tool that may
be IN hand. as this is liable TO start
the animal kicking. Indeed. hitting the
Kegs with a,fork or other tool is the
usual cause Of cows kicking.
