CLIPPING TO KEEP COW'S CLEAN.
1 wish to consider that one trial t f
all dairymen, the clinging of the ma-
nure to the thighs and hocks of the
cows, writes Mr. W. J. Elliott. I i►ave
heard it said that this is easily over-
come, if the dairyman makes it his
('hero to brush down the thighs of the
cows every day. It is a fact, that it is
not a big chore, it we look to the bed-
ding and the brushing each day. At
present, I ant practicing in my dairy
a system of keeping clean the cow's
thighs. It consists of the clipping very
short of the hair on the thighs, stocks
and tail of the cows.
With an ordinary pair of horse clip-
pers, cut, very short, the hair from
below the hock to a line drawn from the
stifle lo the tail head. 'fl►e horse clip-
pers may also be used for clipping the
udder, but the clipping of the tail !s
difficult unless we have someone to
hold it.
Now when the cow gets up, any lit-
ter that may cling to her thighs, will
dry very quickly, because it is so close
le the (tide. \\'hen dry it is very easily
a least
thigh is sc
c off,and tho h
brushed d
as ever. If the thighs are not clipped,
and the long winter cont of hair becomes
wet with the manure, wo all know what
a long lime it lakes it to dry', even. if
brushed off ns clean as possible.
This system has worked so success-
fully, and it takes such a short time to
clip the animals, that 1 clip not only
my cows, but 111y steers. It is really
wonderful how rl.•:u1 they keep with
very 1i1110 care, tt Inn they are clipped
in this manner. Bcsitles this, with my
steers, we clip n ridge hvo widths rf
the horse clipper right along the back-
bone, from the tail head to the back
of the head. This is just the place,
especially on the steers, where tete hair,
in a measure, is standing on end and
furnish('., a splendid position for dust
and dirt to drop directly into the hide.
When the heir is cut short, the slightest
brushing will preCent the collection of
dust and dirt in this manner. and thus
the steers have not that restless, itchy
feeling along lite shoulders and back.
This system Of clipping the cows and
•Sn'er; is practiced regularly, twice each
winter. Ttvn of my men clip 10 cows
10 at atiernnon before milking lime,
and i certainly figure that these few
