Farmers sometimes allow their boys to
become entirely too familiar with the
young bull calf by encouraging him to
be playful Boys, do not do this. Pre-
serve your dignity when you are about
bull calf. Treat him kindly, but give
him to understand always that you are
the master. Never let him know how
strong he is, and never under any cir
cumstances trust him. You may have
confidence in any other live stock on the
place, but you should never have any
faith in the promises of bull. The dan
gerous bulls are those with whom famil-
iarity of the farmer, or the farmers boys,
breeds contempt. Some day in mo
ment of ungoverned passion he will real
ize his power and then there is danger of
a funeral There is never any confidence
to be placed in bull or in a man who
cannot control his temper 1t is hard to
tell which of these is the most danger
