They try to break the shells by pecking at them and this hurts the nerves in fhe short ened beak so they will give It up after a few trials, and thereafter not try to brpsk an egg. In a abort time the beak will grow Into Its normal shape and tbe hens will hsve forgotten the vtcn.

Too often the spoiled or musty hay Is put to one side to be fed to the bulL Again we 4nd dairymen giving the waste feed, teft by otbar animals, to the herd sire. All of which is a very poor practice, writes R. D. Canon In the Indiana Farmer's Gntde. Tbe herd ball old enougb for serv ice should be fed enough to keep htm In s vigorous, healthy condition, free from any encase fat. Most breeders feed their regular grain mixture to the bull at the rate of four to tea pounds dally depending upon the alse and condition of tbe animal and the variety of roaghage. A good grain mixture to uae consists of three parts ground corn, three parts ground oats, three parta wheat bran, and one ' part Unseed oU mml. Ground oats nre , especially good for bulla. Cottonseed pineal Is generally looked upon with , disfavor, stnoe It cause lmpot'socy. Legume bay, »whenever available, abonld be fad at. the rate of tsa to twenty pounds a day. Legumee are high In protein an# mineral matter, and will keep tbe heavily used ball in excellent condition. When nonlegnme roughages, such as timothy hay, fod ' Her or stratf are fed, K Is necessary - to feed more linseed oil meal than ' wltll tbe legume roughages. Breeders differ aa to the breeding powers of th« bull when silage Is fed. Silage fed In large amounts will have -a tendency to distend the paanch, which Is very undesirable. However tea to fifteen pounds of silage dally may be safely fad along with other roughages, It la essential thattfce herd bull rn ctl«* plenty, of water, *»! where K Am beau found jyww ry to keep the bull in a stall or pan,' he should be watered at iMtt twice a day. The vslne and, importance of Using good bulls la essential to the economi cal development of the dairy Industry. The present use of good bulla la en tirely too limited, and when a good bull la one* In service hia usefulness mar be prolonged for an Indefinite pe riod through proper feeding and plenty of exercise.

The good'workman takes tbe best possible care of his tools because be knows tlist only by keeping his tools alwaya In perfect condition eaa ha ex pect to have them always ready to do good work without less of time. He slso knows that tools well cared for re quire fewer replacements.

Any Implement which is not property protected agalnat the weather and la not kept In good repair at all timaa la tlkely to be found out of commlsaioa Just at the time when It Is most urgent ly needed for work that cannot wait Bealdes this, Implements that are neglected soon deteriorate and have to be replaced. It Is economy to keep every Implement In the best condition all ths time. In order to nccompUsh this, two things sr« needed, a well constructed Implement house for protection against the elements and a workshop con veniently placed and equipped, whose Implements can be given the care that they require and rapairs can be made when needed. With n properly con structed ball ding of this kind the former can spend many profitable boors overhauling his machinery dur ing "tbe winter when other work to slack. With such a building he can work In comfort becnuae It will be weatberipcoof and the workshop win be well heated.

The dairy bfrd then becomea a major project en the farm and requires tuindent time and labor to nuke It Interfere wfth the other plans of operation. It la often Just large enough-to be bur densome and yet not large enough to fen profitable. ' IWe is very little place for herds between six or eight and twenty cows for cream production. Many a farmer has made money and has been satis fied while milking four or five cows, hot when he Increased his herd to tpreive or fourteen cows, he did not leake as much money in proportion and waa dissatisfied with the A large number of farmers with four er five cows each will make dairying profitable.
