In these days of COW testing, the

MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY BULL
Practise of Allowing Animal to Run
with Herd Has Serious Draw
blackstone Method.

On the majority of farms it is Gus
tOmary to allow the bull to run with
the herd. This practise is open to
serious objections. In the first place,
bnI running with the herd is I'M
safe from the standpoint of human
hLe- No bull is absolutely safe, be
ne ever so gentle In fact, it 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
Ihen there is the annoyance and
worry especially for children and
women, to have a bull run about
Hired men also complain about get
ting up the cows when there is a bull
win 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
10 excessive service. One service Is
su1nclent 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 to know when the
COWS are due to calve, a matter of no
small Importance.
A further serious objection to run
nlng bull with the herd is that many
a valuable bull is disposed of to the
butcher because he has become IN
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 sew
eral ways of doing this, but l wish to
give here only one of them, one which
have used for a number of years and

Treat Animals Gently.

It will mean loss to the farmer to
have the COW afraid of him 1t is a
loss every time she is frightened. To
run a COW to pasture is like throwing
money away. A COW in any way wor-
ried will not do her best. The COW
that is made pet of will make money
for her owner. The milk Of a fright
ened or abused COW is poisonous.

Does Your Cat Counh z

Poor pussy! AS If the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake O. nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
just discovered that for years she has
been responsible for the spread of
diphtheria. DR.. G. J. Awburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in sub
urb of that city to pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, if they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
hugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
ther recommends that if the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant.
