. Biggle cow book;. Cow. [from old catalog]. Chapter VII. THE There is no richer autumn picture than an ox-cart loaded with golden corn.—Harriet. Let us train the steers ; go at it gently, one at a time. August is a good time to select or match up steers and to train them. Any odd times when work is not pressing may thus be made profit- able. Put him on the barn floor if you have no other place. Take a whip with a long stock and a short lash and stand in the middle of the floor and drive the steer around you. Never strike him a hard blow. Tell him to go on, and let him go on till he goes around well. Then teach him to stop at the word whoa. When the word is given touch him on the forehead with the whip rapidly until he stops; then brush him a little and give him a nubbin of corn. Kindness goes a great ways. Keep _ him from getting exci- ted. You can do nothing with a crazy steer. Give one lesson a day to each steer. The second day teach him to haw. This is done by first stopping him as before, and then gently tapping him on the off hip. Reverse this training.
