the great value OF a good bull. The
damage done by an inferior bull may
be equally great. No other argu-
ment should be necessary to convince
every owner OF dairy cows that he
ought to join bull association.
Cattle breeding is especially
adapted to cooperative effort. and
it's great development will come
through community breeding. A bull
association encourages the keeping OF
only one breed OF cattle on the farms
OF its members, and the establish
ment Of that breed In the commun-
ity. Breeders will realize that buy
ers visit districts where large num-
bers OF the type OF cattle they seek
can be found
Constructive breeding is often diff
ffcult for the small breeder because
of the great expense involved. In
this respect the breeder OF pure-bred
live stock suffers most. The bull
association offers an excellent op-
portunity for the skillful mating OF
superior animals and for intelligent
long-continued line breeding.
When the association is composed
OF five or six breeding blocks. all its
good bulls are used in their full ca
pacity and kept as long as fit for
service. Advancing the bull to the
next block at the end OF two years
does not eliminate him. but makes
IL possible to avoid inbreeding.

BULL ASSOCIATIONS

Seventy-sir dollars represents the
dairyman's investment in bulls.
Two-thirds OF this money can read
lily be saved and better bulls OBJ
tained by joining a bull association,
according to the specialists OF the
United States Department OF AEri-
culture. Through this cooperative
organzation dairymen can save
money. make their enterprise more
efficient and obtain better bred
cows. capable OF producing more
milk. In this way community breed
ing is established constructive
breeding is encouraged, bulls are
used to their full capacity. good bulls
are kept and used and used as long
as tit for service. and CONTAGIOUS

The typical cooperative bull as

farmers, jointly owns five bulls. d.

assigns a bull to each block. From

association is an organization OF
farmers for the joint ownership. use,

bred bulls. In addition. II stimulates
the careful selection of cows and
calves, introduces better methods of
feeding, helps its members market
dairy stock. and in other ways as
sists in lifting the dairy business to
a higher level.
A bull association reduces the
number OF bulls to the minimum.
because one bull serves several
small herds. This means that for
the same or less money much better
bulls can be owned. and as the num-
ber Is smaller the cost OF keep" Is
consequently reduced. The original
