wrong: f'onolub.ous in comniPiitingr on the 
case. P'or instance, he says that the cow 
must Iiave gi-en .‘h5.99 quarts of milk 
at a milking, when in fact. sl>e would 
have to give only one half of that quan¬ 
tity, it being a fact that all cows are 
milked four times a day when making 
these official records. 
Speaking of big records, perhaps it is 
not yet generally knowm that the 50- 
pound cow has arrived. That is. the 
cow that has made 50.08 pounds of but¬ 
ter in seven days. She is Segis h''ayne 
.Tohanna. a IIolstein-Friesian. and is 
owned by Mr. Oliver Cabana of Elma 
Center. N. Y. This cow recently gave 
7.80.8 lbs. milk in seven days, which 
rested out .50.68 lbs. of butter on an 
80% basis. Perhaps the thing will not 
lo<ik so iinpo.ssihle when we ct>nsider that 
this cow weighs 1900 pounds, and that 
she ate .80 lbs. of gmin, 40 lbs. of sil¬ 
age. 100 lb.s. of roots. .82 lbs. of beet 
pulp, and 12 lbs. of Alfalfa hay every 
24 hours. This cow is simply a w'ouder- 
ful illustration of what may be done by 
l)roper breeding followed up with pro¬ 
pel- feed and care. 
The granddam of Segis Fayne .Tohan¬ 
na was rai.sed al>out three miles from 
my farm. She made 15..8.8 lbs. of butter 
in a week. She was bred to a bull from 
a 24.24 lb. cow, and produced a 29 lb. 
cow. This cow in turn was bred to a 
bull from a 35.55 lb. cow, and the result 
is this wonderful 50-lb. cow. The breed¬ 
ing methods were good, but the results 
never could have been attained if Segis 
Fayne .Tohanna had not been grown up 
to weigh 1900 lbs. She simiily could 
not have held the 214 lb.s. of food and , 
the water to produce the results. i

worse. Often a balk.v or fractious horse 
will result. 
He careful not to overwork the colt. 
Y’ou may plow him half a da.v at a time, 
but even then he .should not be rushed. 
Constant hard pulling is almost certain 
to make s6i-e shoulders, .strained muscles 
or weak ankles. Treat him well and he 
will i-eward you with years of faithful 
seiwice and yon will bo proud to own him. 
Treat him badl.v and you will always 
have a bunch of troubles on your hands, 
that will be hard to unload.

Fixing Good Habits in the Young Horse 
If the young horse was not handled 
when he was a colt, the first thing to do is 
to put a lialter on him. The easie.st, 
quickest and most quiet way should he 
imrsued in doing this. I have learned by 
experience that it is a goral pl;ni to put a 
gentle nag in the stall beside the young 
hoiw, then with a halter slip up on the 
opfMisite .side of the gentle aiiimnl. Re- 
fore the young hor.se is hardly aware of 
your presence yon may be able to slip the 
batter f)ver his hejid. If .an old nag is 
unavailable, put the young horse into the 
stall and get him quiet by rubbing him on 
the .shoulders aud neck, pattiug him and 
si>eaking kindly to him. In a short while 
yon will be able to put on the halter. 
T don’t think it pays to get the young 
hoi-.se excited. He may become foolish 
aliont his head. Nev<-r la.s.so and choke 
him down unless it becoine.s absolutely 
necessary. I tried this plan with one 
mare colt one time aud she was very 
foolish about her head ever afterwards. 
Kindness and i).-iti(‘n<-e should always be 
manifested in handling the young horse. 
If .a man dues not ptissess them he had 
better turn his young c<dt over to .some 
one else to break for him. After the hal¬ 
ter is on tlie horse he may be turned loose 
in the lot with the halter strap dragging 
the ground. He will step on the strap 
and soon teach himself to be turned about 
by it. Go into the lot often during the 
day aud take hold of the strap and lead 
liim about or come up to him and pet him 
a while. This will enable the horse to 
understand that you are his frieud and 
wi.sh to treat him well. 
It is the pra(-tice of some farmers to 
hitch the halter strap to the hames of a 
gentle horse and simply draw the colt 
about the lot until he understands he 
must be led or have his ne<-k unjointed. 
T do not advise this (-ruel plan. 
After the young horse has become hal¬ 
ter-wise the hai-ne.ss should be placed on 
him and he should be led about the lot 
until he understands the harness is not 
meant to punish him. If the young horse 
shies or jumps about, deal kindly with 
him. pet him a little aud he will be all 
right. 
Hitch him to a wagon with a gentle 
nag and drive them out on the road. 
There will be little or no trouble. The 
young horse may jump about aud ))ull 
back a time or two. but he will soon be 
taking his place beside th-: gentle animal 
iind doing his part c' the pulling. It 
never pays to whip c.‘ beat a young horse. 
If he seems mes.:' -nough to need punish¬ 
ment the -yo-!:: only makes him the
