MAMAGEMENT or DAIRY BUD


on the majority Of farms it Is GUS
tomary to allow the hnl to run with
the herd. This practise is open to
serious objections. In the first place,
q bull running with the herd is un-
safe from the standpoint of human,
life. No bull is absolutely safe, be
he ever so gentle. In fact. 1t is the
gentle bull that usually kills, be-
cause fewer precautions are taken
with animals of this kind than with
those that show an ugly disposition,
writes John Michels, in Homestead.
Then there is the annoyance and
worry, especially for children and
women to have bull run about
Hired men also complain about get
ting up the COWS when there is bull
with them and who knows how many
have quit their job because of the
bull.
A very vital objection to running
the bull with the. COWS is that it i'm.
pairs the usefulness Of the bull, due
to excessive service. One service is
sufficient and this can be had only
when the bull Is kept away from the
cows. Again, it is difficult to tell
when cows have conceived, which
makes it impossible 10 know when the
cows are due to calye, matter Of no
small Importance.
A further serious objection to run
ming bull with the herd is that many
valuable bun is disposed of to the
butcher because he has become I'M.
manageable with the herd. Most bulls
are sold to the butcher before they
have had chance to demonstrate
their value.
The question now, arises, if the bull
is not to run with the herd. how is
he to be managed? There are ser
eral ways of doing this, but wish to
give here only one of them, one which
| have used for number of years and
