places the attendant on guard, for only
a fool would give a bull an opportunity
to corner him.
II it is necessary to take such an
animal from his stall or paddock q
bull STAFF is used, or one man IN each
side with a rope snapped in the ring
manages the bull. Whatever method
is employed in caring for and secur-
ing service from a vicious bull. eau
ton prohibits accidents. The handling
Of such a bull may not prove altogeth-
er pleasant. but it is a fact that does
not admit Of argument that a man Of
strong mind and muscle assume much
less risk in handling the vicious bull
than he does handling the gentle bull.
Just why men will day after day
place themselves at the mercy of a
gentle bull passes all understanding.
Certainly 1t is not necessary and dem
onstrates nothing more or less than
poor judgment for two reasons. First,
carelessness solicits accidents IL not
death; secondly. Is a token of respect
to the injured or dead regardless
Of the bulls value as a progenitor of
great offspring he must be sacrificed
and slaughtered. This represents ma
ltcious carelessness and sinful sacri-
fee. The lesson to be. learned from
the thousands Of accidents and hun
dreds Of deaths occasioned by bulls
are as follows: Honor the vicious bull
because his yiciOusness is one very
good indication of prepotent power.
Handle all bulls at all times as though
they were vicious. because no bull
ever lived a natural lifetime without
having vicious moments. This is true.
Of all animals. including man. Bull
STATS are so; cheap and easy to use.
that no man is justified in permitting
his gentle bull to make necessary the
services Of the doctor or undertaken.
Separating Milk. :
Cream of almost any desired percent
age Of fat may be obtained. In most
separators it requires. but. a slight
change in the position. of the cream
outlet to change the relative, PROPOSE
ton of cream to skimmilk and. the
per cent Of fat in the, cream. The
nearer toward the center. or axis Of
the separator bowl the outlet for cream
is placed the richer will be the cream.
1t is safe to skim as low as IL to Is
per cent cream and as high as so to IS
per cent cream. A change in the posi-.
ton of the eam outlet will make It
possible to get either Of these ex-
tremes or any desired percentage he
tween.
Each make Of separator has a requir-
ed speed Of crank and bowl that will
do the best work. This speed should
not be changed. As a rule warm milk
will separate more easily and more
completely than cold milk. A little
practice will show one how to set the
cream outlet to get a uniform cream Of
any desired fat content.
Feeding the Miikmaksr.
To skillful feeding the successful
dairyman will add regularity and
Kindness to the management of bis
herd. Good returns from a given sup
ply Of feed. no matter how abundant
and satisfactory. cannot be expected
unless the animals are comfortably,
in~telligently cared for.
Value Of Corn 9ilaes.
Corn that will make forty bushels
per acre should make at least ten tons
Of silage per acre. Figuring on the
basis Of the corn It contains. II would
be worth $3.50 per ton. It is probably
worth for feeding. with corn valued at
90 cents per bushel. from s. to IS per
ton.
