Milking a Kicker 
Sever.al year.s ago the oldest boy had 
to learn to milk. Ilis victim was a gentle 
old red Jersey grade. She gave little 
trouble, hut her successor was different. 
She was beautiful but full of notions. 
She lived in a pen in the corner of the 
barn, and was fed milk until several 
months old, and never felt that grass or 
hay wore really proper to eat. At first 
father did the milking of the heifer, but 
the time came when it must be done by 
the boy. The heilfer was touchy and 
kicked at the boy’s crooked finger-nail. 
He learned to reach acro.ss and catch 
the hock on the far side, and then she 
learned to step over his arm. A neigh¬ 
bor said to tie a rope around her body 
in front of the udder and she could not 
kick. That reme<Iy was a total failure, 
even when applied by the neighbor. The 
boy then tied her leg.s together with ,a 
strap hetwen them. This worked until 
she learned to kick with both feet. About 
half the time she landed on the hoy after 
he fell, and stayed there until he could 
crawl out. Her hoofs were sharp. As 
the cow always wore a halter, tlie hoy 
finally tied her head up close to the 
manger and then snapped a tie rope to 
a. ring he kept on her hind leg. If this 
leg was pulled back far enough and li<*d 
secnri'ly the hoy was safe. A little slack 
was rewarded by a cross kick from tin* 
far side, which nsnnlly found its mark. 
As the boy’s young brother would not 
milk tl'.e cow she was sold vdam he went 
away to Cdllegi'. He wanted to keep the 
strap and ring which were on her log, 
so tnid the hntidier’s man to hold her 
liead up tight while he went to vwork. 
The man did not understand, and gave 
Iier enough slack to send the boy across 
the floor to land in a sitting position on 
a nice round stone. Mother thought 
the tears were a sign of grief. A. C’. w.

My part of Lancaster County is outside 
the market belt, and wo are just plain 
farmers, dairymen, stockraisers and fei'd- 
ers. There are few herds of purebred 
dairy cattle, and therefore most of the 
calve.s arc very properly sold for veal. 
MTieii a farmer can get a $25 check for a 
six-weeks-old calf the exchange is made, 
for the farmer usually needs the check 
and the world of dairying docs not need 
that sort of calves to be raised up into 
low-prioed cows. We still have a number 
of butter-making creameries and these arc 
paying about 44c per pound for butter 
fat. The milk buyers who ship whole 
milk or have cream trade are paying as 
much as 57c for butter fat, with the 
skim-milk returned gratis. X'ew wheat, 
which is not quite a normal crop, is .sell¬ 
ing for $2; oats, a splendid crop, worth 
85c; old corn now $1.7.5, was .$2.10. The 
growyig corn is very gwd with a somewhat’ 
increased acreage. More than normal 
wheat will he sown, althongli well-estab¬ 
lished rotation of fields will generally he 
maintaiiu'd. Grade cows sell at from .$50 
for ordinary to .$125 for the best. Hogs 
in good killing fle.sh can be .sold for 
around 20i’. Ilogs very scarce, many 
farms not having any fur home use. Eggs 
.87c at stores. Potato digging starting,
