Thut the need o f pure-bred bulls Is
Urgent in many purts of the country
Is evident from the fucts brought out
by the United States department of
agriculture's study of eight districts
In the states of Iowa, Minnesota and
Massachusetts In which there were no
associations. In this survey Informa­
tion was obtulned regarding 1,219
farmers owning 817 bulls whose aver­
age value wus $70. Had the owners of
these cheap bulls been properly orgnn-
P ure Bred B ulls A re Needed to

D e­
Ized the same Investment would hnve
purchased the necessary bulls at an
average o f $280. On the farms men­
tioned nearly four times as many Jiulls
were used as would have been required
under proper organization. The farm­
ers were therefore feeding four bulls
when they should have been feeding
only one.
Data from one of the first bull asso­
ciations organized under the direction
of the department of agriculture Il­
lustrate this very well. Before the
association was formed the bulls in
use had an average murket value of
$89. The average price paid by the
association for registered bulls was
$240. Price does not always corre­
spond to value, yet as the bulls were
carefully selected the price In tills
case Is doubtless a fair index of true
worth. In this association each farm­
er's Investment for a share in a good
registered bull was $14 less than his
former Investment In an animal of In­
ferior breeding and doubtful merit.
Actual first-cost figures from other
co-operative bull associations are even
more encouraging. In one association
having more than 1(^1 members the
original cost to each member wns only
$28. The members already have had
the use o f good pure-bred hulls for four
years and probably will have their use
six years longer without additional
cost other than for maintenance. An­
other association with more than fit)
members has had the use of good pure­
bred Hulls for more than seven years
at an average Investment of less than
$2.1 a member, with prospects o f be­
ing able to use them for three or four
years more. Practically all dairymen
desire to rnlse pure-bred rattle, but
comparatively few can afford Individ-
Bally to purchase such bulls as are
needed to develop a profitable pure­
bred herd. The bull association over­
comes the dlllleulty, and the money
saved enn be used toward the pur­
chase of registered females.
When questioned regarding the value
of co-operative bull associations, 150
farmers In Maryland, Michlgnn and
Minnesota estimated that the use of
bulls belonging to the organization In­
creased the value o f the offspring In
the first generation from 90 to 80 per
cent, with an average of 65 per cent.
Usually In business transactions In
which there Is a probability of great
gain there Is n possibility o f henvy
loss, but In bull associations the
chances o f profit are excellent, with
little probability o f loss. The invest­
ment is so smnll and the chance for
herd Improvement so great that the net
returns greatly exceed the small orig­
inal ln\estmcnt.

A high-producing dairy animal Is a

not continue notmal production If she
Is exposed to severe winter weather.
It Is therefore essential that the dis­
