"Far too many valuable bulls are
being lost to the dairy world because
they, become ugly or dangerous to
handle," remarked an agent of the
dairy division. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, who recently re
turned from a field trip.
, It Is true that hulls are dangerous,
especially the older ones, und none of
them should he trusted; but It Is not
until n bull has reached full maturity,
with the resulting size nnd tempera
ment which make him hard to handle,
thnt his worth ns a sire can be proved.
Selling bulls ns sojn as they begin to
lose the gentleness of Immaturity sim
ply menns thnt breeders must forever
rely on untried sires, nnd It Is merely
n matter of luck whether the resulting
offspring Is good or not.
A Characteristic Quality.
"Dangerous as a mad bull" Is a
proverb. Yet It must be remembered
that such madness Is n characteristic
quality of bulls. Not only some bulls
but nil bulls nre subject to outbursts
of violence from time to time. These
do not necessarily signify cither crnzl
ness or anger on the pnrt of the halts,
hut often simply the nggrcsslvcness
which Indicates vigor and good health.
What Is called ugliness, therefore,
may be mere playfulness.
On the other Ifnnd sometimes n bull
mny become renlly ugly, showing a de-si-re
to fight nnd destroy. But whether
the nnlninl's behavior Is due to piny
fulness or bad teifiper snakes no differ
ence. In either case the bull frinuld
not be trusted, but a proper pen will
make It unnecessary to lose a vnluable
bull by selling him for beef simply be
ennso of his refractory conduct. This
chnracter merely means that the bull
should he kept nnd handled 'in such n
wny that the owner (or keeper. If It Is
In n hull nssoclatlon) Is not exposed
to attack, This object can be attained
by keeping the nnlmnl In the right
sort of house nnd pen. I
Such a. pen hns recently been de
vised and described by specialists of
the dairy division. Fear of ugly hulls
has been one difficulty which organ
izers of bull nssoclntlons hnyo met
EFFICIENCY OF CORN
FOR CATTLE FEEDING
Necessary to Add Proteins to En
courage Growth.
More Rapid Gains Obtained Where Soy
Bean or Cottonseed Press Cake
Was Added Experiment
ing Along This Line.
It has now been known for some
years that corn by Itself is not an
economical cattle feed. The reason
for this lu, that about one-half of the
proteins in cum nre deficient In some
of the essential compounds needed. to
produce growth. In order to make
corn more efficient, It Is therefore nec
essary to mix the corn with other cat
tle feeds which contain nu abundance
of those compounds which aro lacking
In corn. Experiments along this lluu
have recently been curried out by the
United Stutes Department of Agricul
ture. It has been shown, thnt when
certain concentrates such as coconut
press cake, peanut press cuke, soy
bean press cake, or cottonseed press
cake are added to the corn more rapid
growth results ami the mixture of pro
teins Is much more elllclent und eco
nomical thun tho proteins of corn
alone. It Is therefore very Important
that tho cattle feeder should so mix
his diet that he can get the greatest
amount of growth from the least quan
tity of protein used, since the protein
Is the most expensive constituent In
his feed.
It has been found that about 40
per cent of cocoirtit press cake, or 25
per cent of soy bean press cake or
peunut press cuke, mixed with corn,
furnishes a very efficient diet. It Is
not safe, however, to add so much
cottonseed press cuke, slnco cotton
seed Is frequently toxic and Is ordin
arily not fed to cuttle In umounts of
more thun 3 or 4 pounds a day. The
experiments which have been per
formed Indicate that when corn Is
properly mixed with the press enkes
mentioned above about twice as much
growth can ho obtained on a pound
of protein from the mixture as on corn
proteins alone.

Keeper Pen for Ugly Bulls.
with In their work, and the same fear
on' the pnrt of Individual owners bus
led to the slaughter nnd loss of grent
numbers of excellent sires. In view of
these facts It has been recognized that
It Is needful to hnve a pen which will
make It easy and reasonably safe for
the breeder to keep and care for tho
fiercest bull by avoiding the necessity
of coining In contact with the animal
without the protection of a fence.
It Is always unsafe to count upon
the good disposition of any bull what
ever. No bull Is to be trusted. The
pen which has -been devised, however,
lessens the danger to such nu extent
that the question of whether a bull
should bo kept on service mny be de
cided on the ground of his value as a
sire, und not with reference to wheth
er he Is good-natured or ugly.
Essential Features.
The essential features of the plan
are (1) tu feed and wnter the hull
without entering his stall ; (2) to have
a largo yard for him to exercise In,
built so thnt he Cannot break out. but
of easy exit for anyone going Into the
yard ; and (3) to have an adjustable
gate, by means of which the bull can
be turned Into his exercise yard. Into
the breeding stall, or Into tluT stable,
and held there nt the keeper's will,
without the keeper having to enter tho
Inclosure. Then, when the bull Is let
out Intq, the yard, he can be shut nut
there while his sjnble Is cleaned.
.When n cow Ih placed In the breeding
stall, the handling of the hull can all
he done from the outside, where the
keeper Is entirely safe. If It Is deemed
deslrahlo to keep tho bull In oho end
of tho cow stable during the winter,
the speclnlly constructed yard csui ho
built on the outside of the cow stnble.
This style of hull pen keos the
koepeu safe. It also keeps the hull
safe from tho butcher. Plans for the
safe-keeper pen will be supplied by
the dairy division, United States De
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. C, to those who havo bulls In
charge. Factors of safety In fencing
the yard are also pointed out In con
nection with these plans.
