Uneouai Yoking.

Farmers sometimes make what we re-
gard as great mistake in mating their
working cattle. not needing the injunction
concerning unequal yoking. True thu I'D
vice had special reference concerning men
and women. siill it is not the less applica-
bio TO the junction Of animals Of lower
grade. A large and email OF yoked to-
gether present ANYTHING but a pleasant
sight. The incongrui,y is too glaring to
give pleasure. In such cases it is custom
AIRY To attempt an adjustment Of the bal
ance by giving the small OK all increased
amount of leverage In the yoke. but th.
success of such proceeding is rarely very
conspicuous. There is an unequal coup
ling. too. in regard TO temper. which il
were better To- avoid. A really vicious an
imal is rarely benefited by contac, with
one Of an opposite character. while the
latter is almost certain to deteriorate hy
the ASSOCIATION. The better plan u. if YOU
capnot match or mate properly from your
own herd to exchange with your neighbor
Failing in this turn the animals over to the
butcher where they can be prepared for
the block.
