The surest way to ruin a bulls

In solitary cell where he Ia fed all
the corn he will eat. Lack of exercise
and corn explain the fact that many
bull fails to get calves and the wise
stockbreeder will substitute oats mid
dlings, bran, oil meal and roots for
that great hog fattening food, corn.
Rather than keep the bull penHed up
in a stall all of the time it would be
much better to harness him to a ma
nure cart or other vehicle and keep
him thus In good muscular trim. On
the other hand bulls are also frequent
" spoiled by turning out to pasture
with the cows where they often overdo
themselves and soon prove impotent.
The bull should only be treated in this
manner upon the great ranges of the
west where it is out of the question
to do otherwise. Give the bull ample
exercise in roomy box stall and pad
dock attached, turn young bull in
with him for company, and feed him
upon heterogeneous ration, bring the
COWS to him, and there will be little
complaint of his failing to breed.
The same remarks apply to the stall
lion and other male animals, for, with
all Of them lack Of exercise, zoo much
corn or overbreeding are the common
causes Of impotence. We are also OF
| the opinion that the reason 50 many
cows fail to come in heat or prove
with calf is the same overlooking upon
corn, and breeders will do well to re-
member this rather than experiment
with nostrums and empires. Nature
will set such matters right II given a
chance.

The pIggery.

The winter housing of hogs Is not
an easy problem to deal with, says a
writer in Nebraska 4rmer. The main
difficulty is encountered in getting
enough for the animals. When a man
has comparatively few hogs, he can
master this part of the difficulty fairly
we'll; but when the numbers are large
and comprise all ages, sexes and
breeds, the real magnitude Of the ques-
ton is appreciated. Our buildings are
not well adapted to provide exercise.
and in the winter we are compelled
to eonfine animals more closely than
we would desire. We have been able
to obtain very satisfactory growth, but
have not yet convinced ourselves that
we are producing bacon of the best
quality. A piggery, above all things.
should be dry and warm. We have
had best satisfaction from wooden
buildings, and prefer wood to anything
else for the walls of the building. We
have some cement floors. With planked
sleeping places, which are giving very
fair satisfaction; but our narrowing
pens are fioored with plank.

After the preliminary period they were
fed for six weeks all the silage they
would eat, with hay and corn In addi-
ton 1t was concluded that the silage
was not as readily eaten by horses as
by cattle, and that horses after becom-
ing accustomed to silaga. eat no more
than they can easily asslmilate. Some
trouble mas been reported in feeding
silage to horses. 1t Is believed this
may be attributed to fielding too large
quantities. AS a whole it would appear
that silage would make a good coarse
fodder for horses when used In con-
nection with hay or slower and grain.
