To Cure Kicking Cows

-1. Never allow the slightest degree of heat or passion, or departure from perfect selfcontrol. '2. Nevor strike the animal but once at a time - no matter what the provo catión may be - a single 8barp cut with a switch (kept under the left arm) excites fear and alarm - two or more sfrokes produce a re-actioD, and cause rage but not fear. 3. Adhere f aithfully to the principies of cause Rnd effect, nnd the animal will quickly understand these principies, if the single alarraing stroko alvvays iustantaneously fullovvs every attempt to kick. 4. Trcat the animal in a firm, soothinL?, gentle manner at all times - only let the blow alwnys come quickly after every kick, vvhether it be merely an abortivo attempt, or the whole puil of milk is upset-r-tha iijteution of the animal ia tha same. I do not wonder that po many fine cow8 are spoiled, that are treated according to passion and caprice, and not according to principie nor rule. Il a cow kicks maliciously, but happeps to hit no one, the rnilker takes nq notice of it if a mere acpidLntal movement of the f'oot oversets a pail of milk a 6hqvyer of {'urious blows follows, and it be comes iiíipossibie for any brute to know, from such irregular praetice, what connectiun there is betweea the punisbmcnt and the oSence. - - l4l '
