so members has had the use of good
pure-bred bulls for more than seven
years at an average investment of less
than $50 a member, with prospects Of
being able to use them for three or
four years more. Practically all dairy
men desire to raise pure-bred cattle,
but comparatively few can afford in
dividually to purchase such. bulls as
are needed to develop profitable pure
bred herd. The bull association over
comes the difficulty, and the money
saved can be used toward the pur-
chase of registered females.
Quick Returns on the Investment.
When questioned regarding the
value of cooperative bull associations,
150 farmers in Maryland, Michigan
land Minnesota estimated that the use
Of bulls belonging to the organization
increased the value of the offspring in
the first generation from 30 to 80 per
cent, with an average of 65 per cent.
Usually in business transactions in
which there is probability Of heavy
gain there is possibility OF heavy
loss, but in the bull associations the
chances of profit are excellent, with
little probability Of loss. The invest
ment is so small and the chance for
herd Improvement so great that the
net returns greatly exceed the small
original investment,
How to Organize a Bull Association.
Success In the operation Of Co
operative bull association depends a
great deal on the care that Is used in
its organization. Those interested
should obtain as much information as
possible regarding the plan Of opera
ton and should consult with the
county agricultural agent. He may be
able to give valuable information
from experience, or at least will know
where such information cam. be OBJ
tanned, and he can help greatly In
starting the organizations. II county
agricultural agent Is not available,
write to the state agricultural college
or to the dairy division Of the United
States department Of agriculture at
Washington, either Of which will be
glad to give advice and assistance. 1t
is advisable, If possible. to visit some
nearby bull association in order to
study the methods of operating, for
the more information that is available
the better will be the prospects for a
well-organized and successful associa
ton.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn
slower, have a place in the horse ra-
ton. For growing colts and for horses
doing hard work these roughages may
be fed in limited quantities, supple
mentary to more nutritious ration.
A caution is timely in regard to feed
ing bulky roughages low in nutrients.
Horses have comparatively small
stomachs and their digestive anatomy
is in no way suited to handle great
bulk Of feed. Little nourishment is
derived from pound of such rough
age, and in maintaining hard-work-
ing animal too great bulk of feed
would necessarily be taken into the
body. 1t is therefore desirable to COM
bine with limited quantity of slower
or straw sufficient legume hay, grain,
or other nutritious feed to meet the in
dividual requirements of the horse.
A small portion of some laxative feed,
such as silage, roots, bran, or alfalfa,
may well be included in ration con-
tanning a large proportion Of corn
stover or straw.
Cottonseed meal has met with con-
siderable disfavor among horse feed
ers, but it may be fed in limited guam

URGENT NEED Of
PURE-bRED BULL
Cooperative Associations Are
Especially Valuable to Own
erS of Small Herds.
ORGANIZATION IS HELPFUL
'aiakes 1t Possible for .pairymen. Who
Could Not Afford to Own High
Glass Animal to Use Regis
tered Sire-Cost Is Low.

The history Of the cooperative bull
associations shows that they are espe-
cially adapted to small herds where a
valuable bull for each herd would con-
stitute too large part Of the total In
vestment. Through these associations
farmers or dairymen who have only a
few cattle can have joint ownership,
use and exchange of pure-bred bulls.
The cash purchase and cost of main
tenance Of the bulls belonging to the
members of the association Is distrib-
uted according to the number OF cows
owned by each member. thereby CIV
ing the farmer an opportunity to build
up his herd at minimum expense.
The typical cooperative bull associ-
alton, as organized in this country, Is
composed Of from Is, to 30 farmers
and jointly owns five bulls. It's terri
tory is divided into five breeding
blocks" one, bull being assigned to
each block. AS many as 80 or 60
cows may belong to the farmers In
each block, and the bull in the block
should be kept on farm conveniently
situated. To prevent inbreeding each
bull is moved to the next block every
two years. If all the bulls live, and IL
all are kept until each has made one
complete circuit, no new bulls need be
purchased for ten years. In this way
each member Of the association has
the use Of good pure-bred bulls for
many years, at cost of only small
part of the purchase price of one bull.
Ordinarily the purchase price and the
expense of supporting the bulls are
distributed among the members of the
association according to the number
Of cows owned by each.
Low Cost Of Cooperation.
That the need Of pure-bred bulls is
urgent In many parts Of the country Is
evident from the facts brought out by
the United States department Of agri-
cultures study Of eight districts in
the states of Iowa, Minnesota, and
Massa chusetts in which there were no
associations. In this survey informa-
ton was obtained regarding 1,21O
farmers owning 817 bulls whose aver
age value was $76. Had the owners
OF these cheap bulls been properly or
ganized the same investment would
have purchased the necessary bulls of
an average value Of 1888. On the
farms mentioned nearly four times as
many bulls were used as would have
been required under proper organiza-
ton. The farmers were therefore
feeding four bulls when they should
have been feeding only one.
Actual first-cost figures from other
cooperative bull associations are more
encouraging. In one association hav-
Ing more than 100 members the orr
ginal cost to each member was only
500. The members already have had
the use Of good pure-bred bulls Cor

As a supplement to cornmeal for
growing and fattening pigs, the Wis
consin station found that ground soy
beans proved about 10 per cent supe-
rior to wheat middlings, figuring the
cost of the feeds as the same. The In
diana station compared rations Of two
parts of cornmeal and one part Of
soy-bean meal with cornmeal and
wheat middlings In equal proportions
and with FIVE parts of cornmeal and
one part Of tankage for pork produc-
ton. The soy-bean ration produced
the largest daily gains, and this with
the smallest quantity of feed consumed
