PROPER FEEDING OF

All OF which Is a very poor practice
writes r. d. Canaan in the Indiana
Farmers Guide.
The herd bull old enough for serv-
ice should be fed enough TO keep him
IN a vigorous. healthy condition, free
from any excess fat Most breeders
feed their regular grain mixture 10
the bull at the rate OF four to ten
pounds daily depending upon the size
and condition OF the animal and the
variety of rOughage. good grain
mixture to use consists OF three
parts ground corn, three parts ground
oats, three parts wheat bran, and one
part linseed oil meal. Ground oats are
especially good for bulls. Cottonseed
meal is generally looked upon with
disfayor, since II may cause impotency.
Legume hay. whenever available.
should be fed at the rate OF ten 10

excellent condition. When nonlegume
roughages. such as timothy hay, fod-
der or straw are fed. Il is necessary
to feed more lluseed oil meal than
with the legume roughages.
Breeders differ as to the breeding
powers Of the bull when sllage is fed.
Slage fed in large amounts will have
a tendency 20 dlstend the paunch,
which is very undesirable. However,
ten 10 fifteen pounds OF sllage daily
may be safely fed along with other
-oughages.

at least twice day.

Danger in Cross-Breeding

Cross-breeding In reality is a two
edged sword. One cannot mate a Hoi-
stein COW with a Guernsey bull and
expect the female progeny TO take on
a type or evidence a function or pro-
duce milk with the quality OF the
Guernsey and the quantity OF the
Holstein. Actually. straight cross
bred animals OF this mating are quite
as apt TO inherit the quality OF the
Holsteln aud the quantity Of the
Guernsey. Il is dlnicult. indeed. TO es-
tablish a type under such clrcum-
stances.
