Feeding the cow better food. mak- ing her more comfortable, and breed- ing for milk have resulted in a_'cow of the dairy type, that can give in one year 10,000 lbs. mill: containing 5 -per cent. butter fat. There has also been an evolution of the quality of the products of the cow. Especially noticeable has been the evolution of cheese and butter making.

The mason is simple; it is_ like breaking an animal in the first place.

It takes some time to get him _u.sed his! new Rllrrnnnrlinrra hnf if -..,- wan-A... The argument used by those who . favor the use of blinds is that when. a horse cannot see hisdriver or the machine or vehicle behind him. he goes along muehystcadier and without getting excited. and drives freer and shi:kS his duty less. The other side is that when he is broken without the blinds, he has more confidence In him- self and in his driver and is not so likely. to scarerat anything he sees hind him. or shy_ at things he half sees on either side. No horse with open bridle is `continually finding ghosts, or shying at bicycles, baby cabs, road scrapers and the like. I know from experience that one can get a horse accustomed to railroad trains, traction engines or threshing machines much quicker by using open bridles, or when he can see plainly instead of .hz1ving two-thirds of his- vision obscured. 11- `:s 4'... n....'i. .. u_-_-_ a__-.--_ ___!LI_ The farmers of forty years ago never thought of working horsesion the farm or road without blinds or bridles.
