TRAIN HERD SIRE
FOR MAN’S SAFETY
mueti easier. A ring in tne nose a
a year of age also has a quieting tend-
ency. That aids handling. Frequent
grooming and, if there is an opportu-
nity, a season or two in the show yard
are the best possible insurance against
ugliness.
. The bull’s disposition depends upas
Ithe man who handles and cares ftw
him almost as much as It does upon
the animal himself. A man who was
looking for a herd sire remarked re-
cently : “1 wouldn’t have a — bull,”
naming a very popular breed, “on my
place. They are all too cross.” At
the time he was visiting a farm where
the herd bull was a regular watchdog.
As soon as a stranger was seen he
would begin roaring and pretend to he
very vicious. Yet that same teaH
when called by his caretaker would
come 40 rods across his paddock and
meekly put his nose over the gate or
the Mall door until the staff could be
hooked into the ring and would fol-
low his leader anywhere. His prede-
cessor in that paddock did his very
jbest to kill that same attendant on
(every possible occasion.
| Why the difference? The answer is
,;(in one word, “care.” The earlier bull
■was never handled. The latter was ;
ishown as a calf and was always han-
dled. One purchaser at this same herd
remarked: “The ease with which your
'bulls handle is worth $100 to any
Jinan.”
No one wishes a herd bull for a
Jfamily pet and no one wants a bull
(with the disposition of a heifer. But,
•masculinity and viciousness are not
mecessarily simultaneous traits, writes
|H. E. Colby, in the Dairy Farmer.
Let the bull know that his earetak-
ter is boss at all times. Let him have
irespoct for authority but do not keep
jhim in abject fear. Frequent groom-
ling is one of the best means of tam-
jing him. Find the spot he enjoys
having rubbed and scratch him there
(as often as possible. Usually, it is
on the back or over the shoulders
where his ponderous size will not per-
mit him to reach. But do this with a
jgood strong fence between you. When
'handling him always leave available a
•clear field for speedy retreat. If you
must go into the stall with even the
imost tractable bull, keep your position
isuch that you can back away quickly
;and safely. Never stand between him
■ and a wall. Always handle the bull
without fear, but with every precau-
tion for safety. An anim&l will know
|by 'instinct if his caretaker is in fear
of him, and that is the best method
of encouraging viciousness.
The best time to begin training the
iherd bull, so as to influence his dis-
position, is when a ealf. If he is han-
from the time he drinks from a
ipail _ the _ jJEOcesg _©J t&aiag witi be
Repellents Effective
for Short Period Only
Fly repellents will keep files off the
cows' for a short time after the repel-
lent has been applied, but after the
application has been made for an hour
or twro It Is no longer effective. About
the only good fly repellent will do Is
to quiet the cows while the milking tg
being done If the repellent is applied
just before milking time.
There Is very little difference In any
of the repellents on the market. Prac-
tically all of them will be effective for
several hours.
If you want to go to the trouble off
mixing your own fly repellents you
can do so. The Ohio experiment sta-
tion recommends the following mix-
ture: Two gallons creolin, one gallon
cottonseed oil, ten gallons water Mix
and apply with a sprayer. The same sta-
tion also recommends the following
spray: % gallon crude carbolic add,
y2 gallon oil of tar; y2 gallon cotton-
seed oil. Mix and apply with a sprayer.
