In the same community lived an

The best method of managing the
herd bull is to keep him in a strongly
built box stall, with a small yard
outside, where he can exercise and
see the other members of the herd.
The fence around the yard must be
well built and braced. Strong cement
posts with iron pipe set in the cem-
ent connecting the posts makes an
unbreakable pen. If a stout board
fence is used, do not make the boards
so high that the bull cannot see what
is going on outside.
A sire that is not at least one year
old is too young for breeding, and
the first year that the animal is used!
for breeding, the amount of service
should be limited, Because a bull
eeems strong and vigorous is no
reason why its breeding powers
should not be protected Its carefully
as the ease with other kinds pf
Mem ammals.
All bulls should be dehoened. This
is a protection for the caretaker, and
in addition the bull without horns is
less apt to develop a pugnacious dis-
position. The bull should always be
ringed and led veith a staff, and if it
is exercised by driving or using on
a ;Mead mill, the greatest we must
be taken to avoid injury to men
working around the animel.
When wo consider what 13 p001' sire
can do to a good dairy herd 'and what
a good sire can do for a poor herd, it
is evident that more cone,ideration

The one -fourth -inch mesh wire
cloth makes a strong protection for
open -front houses. The mesh is small
enough to keep sparrow -0 from enter-
ing the house and roosting, or steal-
ing food from the hoppers. When
properly fastened from the inside it
is rather difficult to remove from the
outside and this is a safeguard
egainst thieve,
It pays to padlock the poultry
house every night and know how
many bh'ds are ;supposed to roost
there. Then an occasional inven-
tory will tell if thieves have been
makirg visits to the house. Some
poultrymen construct electrical el.
arms which -will ring in the house if
there is any tempering in the poultry
yard at night. Strict measuree shoead
be taken with poultry thieves at all
times and nOW there is nothing that
will discourage poultry production in
a distriee more than the feeling that
thieves Will carry off anore ar,less of
