GENTLE COWS ARE SUPERIOR Animals Seem to Partake of DieposL tion of Keeper Economical Grains for Heifers. To have gentle cows there Is nothing noth-ing like raising-them yourself. The cow seems to partake of the disposition disposi-tion of her keeper. No dairyman cun afford to have a man In his stable who is rough and quick tempered. Many well-bred cows are ruined because be-cause they were hot properly fed and developed Into cowhqod. Ground out-meal out-meal and wheat bran with the addition of u sinull amount of flaxseed meal are the most economical grains for the calf and heifer. These grains, fed In connection con-nection with mixed hay, bright corn fodder and wheat straw, will develop bone and muscle and build up a sound, vigorous constitution with a capacity to eat and digest a large quantity of food. It is a common saying "that a cow that is a big eater Is also a big milker." And this is true. A heifer should be well fed before calving and given dally exercise. Calves and heifers should not be tied up In a warm stable with the cows, they thrive best in an open shed with a sheltered yard for exercise.
