Animal - Makes the

By G. M. TwITcHELL.)

l saw a good bull the other day
which was being spoiled by kindness.
He had not been out of his little pen
for more than year, his feet were all
out Of shape and naturally he was
grabbed and surly. Who wouldn't be
under such treatment? 1t Is simply
inhuman, but it's common. A day or
two later l saw another in a we'll
fenced enclosure, with an overhead
wire firmly attached to strong posts,
set 40 feet part at the ends Of the
pen, and chain connecting the bulls
nose to the wire. Here he travelled
day after day, the fence too high for
him to see other cattle, but with
plenty Of room for exercise The
good nature of the animal told of the
success Of humane treatment. It is
not only cruelty to keep a bull close
ly chained day after day and year aft
er year, but more than that It will
ruin the disposition of an otherwise
kind animal. The law of environment
holds here, and the bull suffering for
exercise cannot be as good breeder
as his neighbor made comfortable in
every way. Try it,

KANSAS COWS
MAKE RECORDS
CarIotta Gave 1878 Pounds OF
MIR in One Year - Fairly
Good Average Yield Is
5000 Pounds.

If COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
a year most men are satisfied. This
is fairly good average yield. But
here are some two-year-old Ayrshires
tht surpass that figure by long way.
Their work was described by Prof. o.
E. Reed, head of the dairy depart
ment, in the annual institute. Here
are the records:
Canary Belle, 1918 pounds of milk
and 4S7 pounds of butter, 81 per cent
test.
Fearnot of Oakdale, 5,21S pounds Of
milk and 292 pounds of butter, 4.O8
per cent test.
Johanna of Juneau, 1881 pounds Of
milk and 335 pounds of butter, 3.72
per cent test.
Rose Of Oakdale, 1886 pounds of
milk and 308 pounds of butter, 4.42
per cent test.
Any one Of these cows would sup
port family of five persons. Such
cows probably could be bought for
$175 or 5000, but not at the college.
the cost or feeding the ration, and the
income, may be gagged for all the
group by referring to the history of
Johanna of juneau, a model family
cow; Johanna ate, every day, thirty
pounds of silage, ten pounds Of alfalfa
had, and nine pounds of grain, con-
sisting Of four parts of corn, two parts
of bran, and one part of cottonseed
meal. This ration cost So a month.
1t was fed as described only when the
COW was giving the highest yield. One
pound Of the grain ration was allow
ed for every three pounds of milk, so
that when Johanna gave q pounds Of
milk a day she received 8 pounds of
the grain.
Johanna gave 1913 gallons of milk
which sold in Manhattan for 80 cents
a gallon, 8 cents quart, or 1886. 76.
Not bad kind of COW to have
around And, by the way, a gallon of
milk weighs eight pounds. Professor
