PeculiarIties OF Young Bulls Sell
Early.
By selling of the young bulls early,
the cares are materially lightened, be-
cause it is the males, from eight
months old to yearlings, and older,
that require constant attention and
watching. They fret under confne-
ment, and they fret when turned out
where they can see other cattle, and
are prone to get out from under re-
straint, doing mischief among the
heifers not in calf. Young bulls are
quite likely to do poorly from the
time they are weaned. This comes
in part from getting out of condition
through weakened digestion, too
much grain being given, and vitality
being at low ebb from close confne-
ment. 1t also happens, quite unfor-
tunately, that young bulls are quite
inclined, as a.rule, to grow little
"awry," when they reach twelve
months old, losing the symmetry Of
calfhood, by taking on too much
growth in some parts, the develop
ment in a measurs ceasing in others
This is not the case with all, but it is
nevertheless with the major part.
During this interim, between calf
hood and the age of, say two years,
the bones and muscles elongate, and
the latter being thin and faccid, fail
to give form and comeliness to the
young growing beast. Liberal feed
ing will, in the case of some young
animals, bring fair measure of
plumpness, but there are exceptional
cases, especially with yearling bulls.
To insure better development of
muscle, free feeding should be ac-
companied with free exercise of
muscles, because only through this
means can the muscles be made to
thicken up, the whole system becom
ing invigorated at the same time. A
lesson can be taken from the effect
upon the blacksmith's right arm, as to
what follows the free and vigorous
use of the muscles That growing
bulls, as well as those that have at
tanned full maturity, are sadly ne
elected in the matter of exercise,
there can be no question. The
young growing males Of the herd
should have pasture room, where
practicable, ont of sight Of the females,
and secure from liability of escape.
Two or three turned out together, ac-
customed TO each others company,

for an irritable temper, through indi.

Bad digestion acts on the bull the
same as on the master. creating intol-
erance and fretfulness, and in the
young animal is the initiatory step to-
ward viciousness. SO, If true as
stated, that the avenue to mans
better nature, is through his stomach,
it is equally truelth Al the young bull,
all other things being equal, whose
digestion is kept in the best state,
will longest maintain an equable,
