Dairy farmers are turning to tech to set the moo-d.

Russian ranchers strapped virtual-reality headsets on cows to increase milk production by lowering their stress levels. The bovines — which are being monitored for a trial near Moscow — see a chilledout summer field instead of a cold, bleak warehouse.

Researcher­s have found a pleasant environmen­t is linked to the amount and quality of milk the heifers produce.

An Indonesian official is touting a big new “package” to boost medical tourism — penis-enlargemen­t massages.

Minister of Health Terawan Agus Putranto said he wants to make the country a destinatio­n for the special rubdowns, known as Mak Erot-style, which include herbs and traditiona­l prayer.

Rein in this deer! A six-point buck burst into an Oklahoma home and wreaked havoc for more than an hour, forcing cops to wrangle the animal with a rope.

The intruder crashed through a door of the house in Edmond and hoofed around the living room before barricadin­g itself in a bathroom. Officers eventually used a rope to catch the buck by its antlers.

Sergio Ferreira, 56, was allegedly driving up to 40 mph when he rear-ended a vehicle stopped near his home in Largo. He later admitted to guzzling cans of Busch Light, police said.

On July 3, 1907, two men building a wall at Montclair State University jotted down a note declaring they had done the work, stuffed it in a beer bottle and left it between the layers of bricks.

It was discovered this summer by worker Robert Kanaby, who was doing renovation­s on the property.
