BREEDERS ENTITLED TO COMPLETE REST *«*•"• »>' D">*rtm,nt Dairy Bulls Need Exercise and Proper Management. (P re p a re d by the United State* Departm ent of A gricu ltu re.) Good sires are absolutely necessary to dairymen, as It Is largely through the use of good sires that high-produc ing herds are built up, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Be cause of their temperament, dairy bulls are often difficult to handle; com sequently they do not always receive proper care, exercise and management, aud as a result fail to give best serv ice as herd sires. Cure and Management of Dairy Bulls, is the title of a new bulletin issued by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture as Farmers' Bul letin No. 1412, which discusses brief ly the numerous problems on proper management of dairy bulls, how to handle, and how to keep them In good condition. Newspapers and farm papers fre quently tell of persons being Injured or killed by bulls, as a result of Im proper equipment or wrong handling. Because of such occurrences, dulry hulls have come to be looked upon In some cases as necessary evils. This attitude, says the department, often means neglect In such essentials as feeding, exercise, removal of manure from pens, and various other details of care. Proper care and manage ment of the bull will eliminate much of the danger and resultant loss of Ids use. A copy of the bulletin may he secured, as long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington.
