Farmers generally do not begin to realize the amount of power there is stored up in a big, vigorous bully writes Joseph A. Carroll, of Massa- chusetts, in the Farm Journal. Wit have here at the Elm Hill Farms a registered son of the great Colantha Johanna Lad that we broke when he was three year's old (he is five now} and he is as useful as any horse we have. He weighs a little better theft 1,700 pounds in working order. We plow with him, harrow, furrow out, cultivate, run the weeder, horse rake and tedder. On the horse fork he is a wonder. We have never been able to put a load on the fork yet that would puzzle him in the least, and that is more than I can say for the horses. In hard going we put him in the the lead of a pair of horses on 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 all others, Best kidney remedy.

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- ing. Some men claim that by breed- ing the heifers when young and then not breeding so soon the next time that better milkers are produced.
