KICKING cow EASILY CURED
Rope Passed Around Body Of Offending
Animal, Drawn Tight, VIII
Prove Effective.

The kicking COW Is easily cured by
the proper methods. To cure the of
Tending animal take rope with loop
in one end Of 1t or 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 stand--and cannot kick. If
this method causes the cow to give
bloody milk, place the rope or strap
behind the udder and draw it 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 rather dangerous
for the man tying the rope. After the
preventive measure has been repeated
several times the COW will stand read.

SAILOR EASILY FOUND CHUM
Knew There Was One Rusle Call to
Which Ne Was Certain to Get
Quick Response.

A man-o'warsman on a visit to his
native city gave an amusing instance
OF the readiness and resource Of naval
seamen. He had made an arrangement
at New York to meet chum from his
own ship, but he had forgotten the
number of the house, and he did not
care to knock at every door until he
came to the right one.
A rag-and-bone man with bugle
passed along. Jack seized the bugle.
I'm looking for chum," he ex-
planned.
Then he blew the grog call Of the
navy. AS the last note died away a
window was hastily flung up and a
sailors head was thrust out.
"Ah," said Jack, as he handed back
the bugle. II knew I'd find him.

you must know how to think, and

SKINNED MILK is VALUABLE
Little Richer In Protein Than Whole
Milk, but Lower In Carbohydrates

Skinned milk is little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower in
carbohydrates. Since most OF the fat

skinned milk will need carbohydrates
to make 1t balanced ration for
calves.
A good plan is to replace a portion
