HOW TO MAKE CATTLE RETURN TO THE SAME PLACE.
Pull. out three small bunches of hair, one between the horns, one from the middle of the back, and one near the tail, and make your cattle eat it in their feed.
ANOTHER METHOD OF MAKING CATTLE RETURN HOME.
Take a handful of salt, go upon your fields and make your cattle walk three times around the same stump or stone, each time keeping the same direction; that is to say, you must three times arrive at the same end of the stump or stone at which you started from, and then let your cattle lick the salt from the stump or stone.
