MANY DEVICES USED
TO EXERCISE BULLS

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Many a valuable bull IS rendered
useless by improper care and manage
ment, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture The importance
of exercise Is often underestimated.
and many bulls, after their value has
been proved, are found to be sterile or
SLOW breeders, due largely to close
confinement and lack of activity. This
/ Is more true of dairy bulls, perhaps.
because of their temperament. which
makes them more difficult to handle.
Regular exercise helps materially to
keep the bull in good condition. Any
method that will make the sluggish
bull take exercise regularly and with.
out overwork is satisfactory. The
main point is for him to get It. In
some countries bulls are yoked like
oxen and used to pull a plow. to haul
manure, or to do other farm work.
Where there is only one bull, special
hitching arrangements for work on a
cart may be made. Thus the bull not
only gets his exercise but at the same
time does useful farm work. A tread
mill is sometimes used, but is not al
ways satisfactory because the bull
sometimes learns tricks for stopping
the machine and needs to be watched.
A pen large and roomy enough for
exercising may be all that is needed
for some bulls, but others are lazy
and need to be forced to exercise A
young bull turned in the lot with an
older one will usually cause the older
one to take his daily Dozen" The
younger bull will usually be active
enough to keep out of danger II the
pen Is large enough to prevent his
being cornered. The owner should use
plan.
Bulls may be induced to exercise
themSelves-with an empty barrel or
keg by bunting or rolling 1t around the
pen. The keg may be left on the
ground ophung by rope or chain low
enough so the bull can butt it with
his head. A block of wood, with the
corners removed, will serve the same
purpose. Some bulls spend hours play
Ing with contrivances of this sort,
while others pay little attention to
them.
When an exercise pen is not avail
able, it is n common practice to tie the
bull to Il ring which slides on sus-
pended wire or cable 10 to 100 feet
long and high enough above the bull $
head to prevent him from getting his
feet over the lead chain, which should
he IL to Is feet long. A revolving
sweep will give the bull some exercise

Mines Giuen Odd Names

Speaking of queer mine names,
writes a correspondent of Coal Age. I
recall those Of two little mines that
were operated a few years ago when
l was district mine inspector. which
believe will compete favorably with
the struggling Monkey" mine, men
toned in Coal Age: or Che 'Toadvine,"
or 'Who'd a Thought" and are en-
titled to a place in the front ranks Of
the list of queer mine names. The
first is little mine operated by the
Dayton Coal and Iron company on Its
branch line two miles north of Dayton
1t was called the "Tickly Gizzard'
mine. Another little mine, located in
Scott county and operated by the
Paint Rock Coal company. went under
the name of the "Possum Jaw" mine.

Live Stock Facts

The loss of little pigs will mean the
loss of big profits.
The wise stockman recognizes that
careful attention to little details pays
well in the end.
Too much skim r.ilk or too much thin
slop tends to produce "pot-bcllled"
type of pig. Middlings should not
make up too much of the ration for
either the sow or the pigs for 1t causes
the pigs to scour.
Pure breds of good quality do bet

1t is poor economy to stint the feed
