FACTS
KICKING cow EASILY CURED
Three Different Methods Suggested for
Treatment Of UnruIy Animal by
Kansas Expert.

(By LESLIE ROSS, Kansas Experiment
Station.)
Care and patience will do much to
cure the kicking COW.
The kicking cow is easily cured by
the proper methods. To cure the Of
Tending animal take rope with a
loop In one end of 1t or q trunk strap
and pass 1t around the body Of the
COW. Draw 1t tight. The COW usually
will jump little at first, but when
she finds she cannot get out of the
rope she will standard cannot Kick.
This method once in while causes
the COW to give bloody milk. If this
happens place the rope or strap be-
hind the udder and draw 1t up in the
same manner. With some cows this
cannot be done because Of the shape
Of the udder. Another method is to
hobble the cow by passing the rope
around each leg behind the udder, and
tying just above the hooks. This is,
however, rather dangerous for the
man tying the rope. After the pre-
ventive measure has been repeated q
few times the COW will stand readily
to be MIXED.

WARTS MAY BE TROUBLESOME
They May Be Entirely Removed by
Smearing Them Thickly With Un-
aduitcrated Olive Oil.

Warts on the teats are often trouble
some in milking, besides adding to the
danger of increasing the possibility of
communicating the milk through infec-
tious material which may be found on
them. They may be greatly benefited
or entirely removed by smearing them
thickly with pure olive oil.
If they are large, and still persist
despite this treatment, they may be
cut off with sharp pair of scissors,
and the spot touched with a stick Of
caustic potash.
They may be oiled now, and the
caustic potash treatment repeated as
often as necessary to prevent their re-
newed growth.

Poor cows are never clean.

Poor cows are never clean.
No dairy was ever too clean.
The cows should have chance to go
to shelter now when they naturally
seek 1t.
A thorough chilling now will dis
qualify herd for profit during the
whole winter.
The breeding bull always represents
half the value of the breeding power
of the herd If it is desired to grow
calves for the dairy.
Calves intended for the dairy should
not be made fat as veals, and they
should not be allowed to become stunt
ed They should be thrifty and grow
ing all the time.
A good price for superior bull is
money well invested. The difference
between the price Of strictly high
class sire and an inferior one is made
up in the first lot of calves.
1t is hard to make some men realize
the great influence of good, pure
bred sire in herd. The sire Is more
than half the herd. If he Is richly
bred, every heifer inherits from him
good butter traits.
Buying a bull without knowing the
record of his dam is apt to result in
heavy loss for the farmer. Get a sire
that will improve the herd.
