As showing the value of the dairy factoiy to country residents (says the Oamaru Mail), we may instance the case of a small farmer in this district. From ten cows he obtained milk for which, when supplied to a creamery of the North Otago Dairy Factory, he obtained a return for November of £l6 14s lid and for Decern ber £lB 10s lOd a total for two months of £35 5s 9d, or 35s 3d per cow per month. . Americah papers describe a new and simple method of dealing with vicious and intractable young horses, which is reported to have had an astonishing effect. The first,£jt;ial was made with a kicking and bucking mare, which the owner said had allowed no rider on her back for at least five years. She was tamed in about five minutes, and allowed herself to be ridden, without any sign of her former wildness and character. This wondersul method consists in passing a light rope round the front of the jaw, just above the upper teeth, crossing through the mouth, and then secured back to the.neck. It is elaim[ed that no horse will kick or buck , while thus secured, and that, after being thus treated a few times the wor.-t characters will abandon their vicious tricks for ever.
