COW SUCKING PREVENTIVE
A dairvman writes the “Rural New
Yorker” that to prevent a cow from
sucking herself, he (ried a “call
weaner” which fastened in the nose
of the cow like a bull ring--only it
clamped between the nostrils, and
made to open and shut and clamped
the cartilage between the two nostrils,
and there were some five or six spikes
extending out in every direction about
three or four inches tong. That pre
vented the cow from sucking herself
after all other methods had failed.
This will not only prevent a cow from
sucking herself, but will wean a ealf.
