To Prevent Cows from Kicking. :—I have owned for the past three years a envy that was very valuable for her milking qualities, but very troublesome on account of her kicking propensities. Af ter 1 had made up my mind to disrose of her on account of her bad habit, I happened to employ an Englishman, to whom I gave the advice of caution upon his first essay at mil*, ing. Ile smiled, and said he could easily prevent that, anti proceeded to pass a rope about her body just in front of her bag, tying it in a simple knot upon her back. The rope 'was 'not drawn very tight, and to my utter surprise the cow stood perfectly quiet through the process of milking, nut ts much as offer ing to raise her feet. To test the remedy, direeted him the next morning to intermit the use of the rope, and she immediately return ed to her old habit. I had previously tried the method suggested in the Country tientle man some weeks since, of tying up the fore leg, but without avail. She, would still at tempt to kick and in the effort throw herself. I have not had the opportunity of testing it with any other cow, but as it proved so entire ly successful in the instance named [and my man informs me ho has seen it repeatedly tried and with unithrm success] that d -- have thought proper to giVe you the result of my own experience, hoping that others may be equally profited by IL A.
