COWS GENTLY

Some cows have a habit of all the
time stepping when they are being
MIXED. This is quite annoying to the
man who 10 milking such q COW for
the first time. writes q. l.. Vincent In
the American Cultivator. he is apt to
think the COW is going to kick or do
something equally troublesome, where
as she is only indulging In this habit of
lifting the foot a little.
The trouble with a COW that does this
began a long time ago. and she prob.
ably did it in the beginning because
she did not have n mixer that made
her really comfortable at the time.
There are mixers, for example. who
never think what 1t must do to q COW
to have u with long finger nails
working at her teats. Every time the
hand closes those sharp nails are press.
ed hard against the sensitive teat
Other men have a way of setting the
ends of the fingers squarely against
the side of the cows teat. This cannot
help hurting these sensitive organs,
and 1t is no wonder the COW steps
round to get away from her mixer.
Instead Of striking the COW which lifts
her foot under such circumstances, we
should correct our own bad habits. It
is u great deal better position for the
fingers to lie out straight, so that the
insides of each digit will come against
the side of the teat
One other way by which a young
COW may contract the habit under con.
sideration Is to be too harsh when
milking q COW whose udder Is pressed
full of milk. Not always do we realize
how sensitive this part Of the cows
mechanism Is. The truth Ii. no organ
Is more easily injured than the udder.

FEEDING BEEF STEERS.

Experiments Show That Young AMI.
mails Make Economical Gains
According to Professor n. R. Smith,
liberal feeding of a steer from the time
he is twelve months old until he il
twenty. -four months old will result in
a gain Of practically two pounds per
day. says the Iowa Homestead. II he
- carried for another year this gain
viii be reduced to a pound and three
quarters per day. and the following
year 1t will take liberal feeding to
make a pound and a half daily. This
means that the largest gains are made
early in life. and 1t follows that these
gains will be made cheaper because
the cost Of maintenance is lower. In
emphasizing the matter of cheapness
Of cost of feeding young animals Pro
lessor Smith refers to six different
trials where accurate records were
kept, showing that during the first
twelve months Of q beef animals life
q hundred pounds Of increase in
weight cost $3.45. the second twelve
months the same animals cost $7.42
per hundred pounds. while the third
twelve months it ran up to $11.5O per
hundred pounds.
In the light of these figures it can be
well understood why the early matur.
ing animal is increasing in popularity.
particularly with those feeders who
raise their own cattle. 1t must be re-
membered that all steers are not Of a
type to finish up at an early age. be-
cause increase in weight is in the form
Of growth rather than the form of
flesh. It is all a question Of type. some
types being ready for the block almost
any time after they have acquired
their calf fat. while others reach prime
conditions only at maturity or there
abouts. When corr belt cattlemen set

and then only will the real merit Of the
early maturing type be appreciated.
