How to Tame Wild Cows.
There is not to be found a more inexorable
master than habit. This fact is daily illustra
ted by intercourse with our own species. The
tobaco chewer soon learns the habit of tilling
his mouth with an unrelishable narcotic, and
enjoying its nauseating juices as much as
he would the choicest meats. The tippler,
too, soon forms the habit of drinking his alco
holic portion as much to satisfy thirst as he
would nature's beverage. If, then, habit is
strong enough to rule the man, may we not
look for something of its power over the brute.
Who that witnesses the patience with which
the geutlc cow submits to the process of milk
ing, but admires her habits. The good and
gentle cow chews her cud during the opera
tion. Her habits are fixed, and if gently or
kindly treated she will not depart from them.
The tcild cow has a great variety of tricks,
most prominent among which are running,
springing, or moving away from the milker.
This with her is as much a habit as it is with
the good cow to be kind and gentle. The
good cow may learn to start and run by using
her harshly, and running after her and club
bing her when she starts. The contrary will
tend to make the wildest cow gentle and kind,
bnt after bad habits are once learned, it is ve
ry difficult to overcome them. Nothing can
do it but the most untiring perseverance, care
and good treatment.
A wild cow cau hardly be cured of the hab
it of starting or running during milking by
continuing to milk her in a large open yard or
by a fence. If cornered by a fence, she will
soon learn the habit of going there and canuot
be milked from it. This is not desirable, and
such a habit should be avoided. We have al
ways found the following plan successful, and
would recommend it to all who have wild
cows : Prepare, in some convenient place ad
joining the nilking yard, a good, well-fenced
pen or enclosure about one rod square. It
should be furnished with a pair of bars or gate,
so as to be handy. luto this drive all wild
cows, one at time, and after putting up the
bars milk them. Do not corner them up, but
niilk them in the middle of this little place,
and use them gently and regularly for a few
months, and they will forget all runaway hab
its, so as to be milked anywhere that you may
chance to come up to them with a pail.
This plan is but very little trouble, and it
will teach the wildest cow the habit of standing
during milking, for they cannot get awav. It
is very seldom the milker need strike or whip
an old cow, they cannot understand for what
you whip them, and generally for every whip
ping you will have to treat them properly for a
week longer, to cure them of its ill effects.
The whip should oily be used when driving

BOTS IN HORSES.—An inquiry is made of
Dr. Holmes the editor of the " Maine Farmer,"
about destroying bots on horse-. The Doe
ter answers with readiness, and he seems to
have a very good idea of such cases which ap
pears in the " Note
MR. EMTOR :—As you are always ready
to give information to those who ask, 1 will
take the liberty to enquire the best way to
destroy bots in horses,?
If you, or some of your correspondents, will
give the desired information, you will oblige,
A SUBSCRIBER.
NOTE. —We doubt if there is any mode of
destroying bots in horses, that will not at the
same time destroy the horse too. An animal
that will live apparautly unharmed, iu oil, spir
its of turpentine, aqua fortis, and such like
fluids, as the bot certainly can, will not be
destroyed very easy, anything poured into the
stomach of a horse,that will not kill the horse.
It is very seldom, if ever, that u horse is inju
red by bots. Wc once had a horse brought
to us for advice, that the owner thought was
troubled with bots. He was in great pain,
from some internal trouble. Not being sure
what to do, we concluded to " docker " him a
most horses are doctered, viz, by guess, " hit or
miss." So we bled liiiu in the mouth. He
bled freely, and swallowed much of the blood.
We then gave a heavy dose of aloes. Next
day the horse was better, and soon after,
brought away some bots. The owner of the
horse made up a theory, to account for the ap
pearance cf the bots. It was this. The bots
were induced to let go of the cotts of the stom
ach to partake of the blood, and while so do
ing, the aloes worked them off. We always
supposed, however, that, as it was about the
time for them to be transformed into the fly,
they came away " acc rdhig to nature ," and
would have coxae away at that time, if the
blood and the aloes hadn't been siva'lowed.
However, the horse recovered, and we got
some credit for skill.
Ilmv TO MANURE TREES IN GRA-S.S LAND.—
Very few persons manure trees growing in soil
or grass land, in a judicious or economical
manner. The general practice is to dig the
manure in, within a diameter of six feet, hav
ing the body for the centre. The tree takes
its food from the young rootlets, whose mouths
extend " just as far on every side as the
of the tree ; hence, this manure ap
plied close to the " body 1 ' of the tree is not
whore the roots can take it up, and of course
but little of its value is absorbed by the tree.
If you doubt it, just try the experiment on
two trees. Serve the one as above named,
UDJ the other as follows, viz :
Mark a circle around the tree, having for
its outer line the exact radius formed by the
overhanging branches ; dig on the inner side
of this circle a trench two feet wide and one
foot deep ; mix well rotted manure half and
half with the best of the soil, or the earth
dug out of a trench with it, then replace the
turf and wheel away the refuse or extra earth,
rake clean and smooth ; you will have a good
growth of tree, your fruit larger and more
fair, and no unsightly unnatural hillock or
mound around the body of the tree.— Ohio
