How much more water will a large horse drink than a small one? Do 



you know of any men who have heaters in their water troughs in winter, 



so that their stock may have warm water ? If so, ask them how they like 



these heaters. 



Gentleness is a most important thing to observe when among animals, 

 if one desires to secure the best results in handling them. The man who 

 has the pigs uuder his feet whenever he goes into the lot where they are, 

 by his quietness and gentleness has taught them that he is their friend. 

 Such a person usually knows how to feed profitably acid raise stock suc- 

 cessfully. The man who sits by the nervous cow and quietly soothes her 

 with a gentle voice while milking, instead of using harsh measures, 

 secures more milk and enjoys the company of the beast more than would 

 the man who would "teach her a lesson," No dumb animal was ever 

 improved in disposition, or made more profitable to the owner, by the 

 adoption of brutal or unnecessarily severe measures. The most successful 

 feeders of stock are invariably gentle in handling their animals. The 

 man who succeeds in getting the greatest speed out of a horse on the 

 race-track is the one who rules by love, not fear.
