3. Bulls leased will be transferred free of charge to any place not more 

 than 100 miles by rail from the place from which they are transferred ; to 

 any place distant more than 100 miles by rail, lease will be granted only on 

 condition that the lessee pays all chai-ges for the extra distance over 100 miles. 

 In the case of bulls sent by sea, or partly by rail and partly by sea, all 

 expense over the sum of £1 (one pound) must be borne by the lessee. The 

 lessee must make all arrangements for, and bear all expense of, transferring 

 a bull from the nearest railway station or port to the place where it is to be 

 stationed. In the case of leasing a bull already stationed within the district, 

 the new lessee must send for the bull and bear the expense of removal. 



4. A condition of the leasing of the bulls shall be that the farming public 

 be allowed to send cows to the bull at a fee of not more than 10s. (ten shillings) 

 per cow, provided the bull's list is not already full, but the total number of 

 cows served must not be more than thirty for six months. 



5. Each bull shall be treated and kept in a condition to satisfy the Depart- 

 ment, and shall be at all times open to inspection of authorised Officers of the 

 Department. 



6. A return showing the number of cows served, and distinguishing 

 between cows owned by those to whom the bull is leased and the outside 

 public, shall be sent to the Department at the end of the term. 



7. All due care must be taken to see that the bull shall not have access to 

 cows suffering from any infectious disease, special attention being given to 

 pleuro-pneumonia and tuberculosis. 



8. No farmer who is known to have pleuro-pneumonia in his herd shall be 

 permitted to send cows to any of these bulls within three months from the 

 date of the last outbreak. 



9. In case of illness of a bull the Department shall be immediately informed. 



10. The bull shall not be allowed to run with cows, but shall be kept in a 

 special bull paddock, which must be well fenced, and each cow " in use" shall 

 only be allowed to remain with the bull such time as will enable him to have 

 connection with her twice. However, where necessary, in order to keep bulls 

 quiet, special permission may be given to run with one or two specially- 

 selected healthy cows. 



11. Should any of the foregoing rules not be complied with, the Depart- 

 ment shall have the right to remove the bulls at once, and all fees paid shall 

 be forfeited. 



12. Should a bull be wilfully neglected or badly treated, or Rule 10 be 

 bi'oken, the Department shall have the right to take any action desirable for 

 the recovery of damages. 



13. All applications for bulls should be made to the Director of Agricul- 

 ture, Department of Agriculture, Sydney.
