Mulching.
There is far too little mulching done.
Small fruits, trees -and garden crops
are given a most favorable oppor-
tunity for attaining the highest per-
fection and development when their
roots are covered with a thick mat of
leaves, hay or other suitable material.
A good mulch keeps down weed;
and renders the soil loose, moist and
porous at all times, and that, too, with
little labor of cultivation.

that is more than I can say for the
horses.
In hard going we put him in the

manure -spreader, and the czmbina_
tion biake4 a pretty rugged team.
We make frequent trips to town with
him, with wood, produce, etc. We
have drawn one cord of hardwood at
a load from here to Milford, five miles,
and the bull. came home fresh as a
daisy. For any work around the
place that requires only one horse wee
use the bull, as he ie just as handy and
much stronger.
We have a registered Percheron
stallion that we frequently hitch at
side of the bull to plow, and they
make as good a plow team as a man
could ask for. The bull was dehorn-
ed when he was a year and a half old.
He can be driven with reins, but We
use a whip mostly, and drive as you
would an ox. For harness we turn
a horse collar and hames upside
down.
We have a herd of grade cows
which we breed to this bull and raise
all the heifer calves. He has sired
some good ones. About seventy per
cent. of his calves are heifers. Before
this bull was broken he was slow at
service, but now at five years he is as
quick and vigorous as a yearling, and
a sure getter. He has never shown
any signs of being cross, and a twelve-
year -old boy can drive him anywhere.
We are going to lacy an ox to work
with him.
If farmers who make a practice of
keeping a bull would only buy a pure-
bred one and break him to work, then
keep him until he its seven ox eight
years or older, and raise all the best
heifer calves, they would find it a
very profitable investment. A bull,
worked either as a stag or with an ox
for a mate, will do nearly as much
work on a farm as a pair of horses.
How Old Should a Heifer be When
She Freshens?
With the prevailing high price of
milk and its products, there is a strong
temptation to start the heifer work-
ing at as early an age as possible.
Sonie dairymen make a practice of
breeding the heifers when 15 .to 18
months old, while others prefer to
allow the young animals to obtain
growth before they are bred. It is
claimed that heifers bred too young
will never develop into the big -framed
cows that they would if allowed to
obtain their growth before being forc-
ed into the producing ranks. A stable
was recntly visited where the cows
appeared undersized for the breed.
These cows had been bred to freshen
when about twenty-six months old, but
it is not known whether or not thi4s
was the cause of the cows being un-
dersized. Lack d proper feed and
attention during calf -hood will have
a tendency to prevent the proper de-
velpoment of the animal, so it would
not be just to blame the early breed-
ing for having been the entire cause
of the undersized cows. However,
there is a danger of checking develop-
ment by too early breeding. In cer-
tain herds the heifers were not bred

herds, freshening at the age the form-
er heifers were bred, never grew to
the proper size. Twenty-eight to
thirty-two months is believed to be a
satisfactory age to have heifers fresh-
en, and then keep them milking near-
ly a year, if possible, the first lacta-
tion period. If heifers are allowed to
become too old before they are bred,
there is a clanger of them not breed-
