charitable and educational institu-

But in 1860 the production had in
creased to six quarts, and by 1870 to
eight.
The breeders of the trotting horse
found it tremendously hard to make
their steeds go any faster after the
2:10 mark was reached, and it took
years and years to get below two min
utes-and at about the two-minute
mark in all probability the record will
always stand. So with the milch cows,
as the yield increased it grew more
difficult to breed record breakers, or to
better the average; but now the aver
age daily yield of all German COWS is
said to be ten quarts.
A thousand per cent gain in a cen
tury and quarter; that is what long
period breeding will do. 1t is such
work as this which alone will keep
the world big enough for its increas'

HANDLE THE BULL CAREFULLY
Quiet Animal That Has Never Harmed
Anyone Usually One to Attack
Unsuspecting Attendants.

The bull should always be handled
kindly and firmly, and should under
stand that his attendant is his master.
1t is always advisable to train the bull
calf to lead, and ring should be
placed in his nose at an early date.
Never permit the bull to have his own
way about anything where you may
differ with him and insist upon prompt
obedience.
1t is very easy to spoil the dispo-
sition of bull by permitting children,
old as we'll as young, to play with him
or tease him. The man who is al
ways prepared for trouble never has
any.
1t is the quiet bull that has never
horned anything that usually does the
damage, suddenly developing a vi
cious spirit and attacking his unsus
pecting attendants.
