Effect OF sun aud Moon on Edged Tools.
Il is not generally known that h
light of the sun and the moon eXer-
cises a deleterious effect on edged tools.
Knives, drills, scythes and sickles as
sumo a blue color if they are exposed
for some time TO the light and heat Of
the sun; the sharp edge disappears,
and the tool is rendered absolutely use
less until it is retempered. Purchasers
should therefore be ON their guard
against buying tools from retail dealers
and peddlers which, for show pur-
poses, have probably been exposed for
DAYS together TO the glare Of the sun.
The observation-disclosures Of tools ac-
quired under these conditions Is gen
orally wrongly attributed to bad ma
teriaI or TO inferior workmanship. A
similarly preiudicial effect has been ex.
ercised by moonlight. An ordinary
crosscut saw is asserted to have been
put out Of shape ia a single night by
pos to the moon.-lrOn.

THE PRODUCTION OF A BREED OF
HORNLEsS CATTLE.

How "A New Raco of Po1ied Cattle IL Be-
ing Built Up on n Connecticut Farm.
Picture of n Now Canaan PoIled Cow.
Good Mixers and Gentle.
Hoyt Brothers. of New Canaan, Conn,
are gradually breeding race of hornless
cattle One OF these cows, shown in the
picture, has rs pretty "bang" az fash
ionable girl The Rural New Yorker
gives highly interesting account Of
their model farm, which furnishes con-
vincing evidence that agriculture in New
England can still be made TO pay whore
the farmer mikes bruins with his toll.
How the New Canaan breed Of polled
cattle was built up, The Rural New
Yorker relates as follows:
The Hoyts have never been able to see
any use for horns on dairy cows. Some
years ago they began to collect polled
herd Here and there, scattered about
the country, they found "Inuley" cows
no ono knows how they came 10 be with
out horns. A fire destroyed all their
cattle, and they then began again the
slow task Of hunting for ''muleys."
Oae Of the best COWS dropped a polled
bull calf, and with him at the head of
the herd it was soon easy to produce
poIled calves. The present bull looks
like an Ayrshire with a dash Of Jersey
blood. Many Of the cows plainly chow
the Jersey characteristics, while the
Ayrshire color largely prelominates.
They are as gentle as sheep, They are
above the average as mixers, and the
milk is of excellent quality. y typical
picture of the head and shoulders of one
of this new breed" is shown in the
illustration.
