Bull Power for Farm Work 
I was greatly interested in the article, 
“An f).\-l’ower Farm.'’ wliich I have just 
read on page 1011. I have always been of 
the opinion that dairy farmer.s were mi.ss- 
ing a big opjiortunity in not working their 
herd sires. Hull power, when properly 
handled, is extremely useful and very low 
priced. Furlhermore. the mere fact of 
working the dairy hulls and giving them 
regular exercise tends to keej) them active 
and in good breeding condition, which 
usually results in their being more [lotent 
and remaining useful for a gr«‘ater num¬ 
ber of years. Jer.sey hulls, being highly 
could not be fatteiuHl. as .she did not inherit 
the fattening tendency from her purebred 
Holstein sire. Her calves were not freaks 
of nature, hut were produced in accordance 
with a principle in breeding which is well 
established, and has been of inestimable 
benefit both to the breeder of beef and of 
dairy cattle, viz., the purebred sire, not 
the grade cow. establishes the character of 
the calf. Challenger’s sire was a very 
h(*ofy iiurcbred bull. 
What does this moan to the farmer? It 
means that it will not be necessary for 
him to keep a cow of a pronounced beef 
type (invariably a iioor milker) simply to 
raise beef calves. It means that he can 
be a dairyman and a beef grower at the 
same time, making double profits, keejung 
as many cows as he can easily handle,

JOHN M. HOWARD, Sherburne, N. Y. 
A Handy Team of Bulls on a Pennsylvania Farm 
bred and const'ciuently somewhat spirited, 
have Ix'en given the name of being vicious. 
Viciousness, however, I am positive, is 
not an inherent characteristic of the .Jer¬ 
sey bull, and is caused by the mishandling 
given the bull by its owner or keeper. 
The i»ictnre .shown above is from the farm 
of the Hon. .1. C. Sibley of Pennsylvania, 
in whose .Jersey herd was bred and de¬ 
veloped the world’s milk record Jersey 
Cow. Passport. Mr. Sibley does all his 
heavy hauling with this team of bulls. 
Cut below comes from the farm of Wal¬ 
ter S. Prickett, of Michigan, and shows 
Mr. Prickett’s two herd bulls, both of 
which are related to Eminent’s B(!ss. for- 
iiH'r world’s champion .Jersey, in the act 
of drawing a sled load of milk eases '.o 
with the back pasture filled with young 
beef cattle that will make him as much 
money as any field on his farm, growing 
whether he wakes or sleeps. 
The time is coming when the farmer 
can be prosperous without being a slave 
to work. Beef will not cheapen to any 
great extent, as the Western ranges are 
now and will continue to be a small fac¬ 
tor in production. Even with the higher 
prices, beef still continues to be the staple 
meat ration. 
Last Fall the writer sold grade Angus 
feeders raised from grade Holstein and 
.Jersey cows, at an average of nearly .$70 
per head. The same day a two-year-old 
grade dairy heifer, which is now in the 
milking herd on tlie farm, was purchased 
for $40. There will be no difficulty in 
procuring dairy heifers, while so many 
farmers have the Holstein sires, as one 
cow. besides raising a calf to take her place

and Mr. Sibley use in working their bulls, 
a regular hame harness with a heavy col¬ 
lar which is inverted. Av. m. 
Beef Steers from Dairy Cows 
There are several communities where 
dair.v fanners are changing their jirac- 
ti<-e. Instead of keeping hulls of the 
dairy breeds and producing high-milking 
heifers they keep bulls of the beef breeds 
and jiroduce high-class beef steers. The 
price of beef is now high, and considering 
tlu' high cost of labor there is about as 
much margin on the beef its there formerly 
was in the milk production. In order to 
do this succes.sfully the bull must be of a 
very strong and distinct beef type to over¬ 
come the dairy tendencies of the cow. 
Geo. R. Smith, of Michigan, tells of the 
practice in his neighborhood in a local 
paper: 
Challenger, the international grand 
champion steer, was the calf of a grade 
Holstein cow that would not have brought 
more than canner prices for beef. She 
produced Challenger JJ, also an interna¬ 
tional jirize winner, hut although she was 
purchased by the I’niversity of Nebraska, 
and was given special feed and care she 
in the farmer’.s herd. will, during her life¬ 
time. raise many more calves. 
Care of Neglected Sheep 
I am trying to improve a neglected 
flock of .sheep. Gn this place is nothing 
Imt the Timothy hay : no roots, no clover 
liay. Uam and ewes run together, in one 
flock: have been penned up for months, 
at night in cow barn ; during day in oyien 
shed well jirotected. I am afraid many 
will cast their lambs; dont know when 
they come in. AVhat would yon do in this 
case? What feed for ewes at present and 
for ram? AVhat to do with ewes that 
have cast lamb? c. K. 
New York. 
('’. B. must get some other ration than 
Timothy liay ; it will surely cause trouble 
indicated. I would .sell Timothy and buy 
clover. Alfalfa or bright bean straw. Do 
not give a full feed of bean straw, mix 
with clover. Be careful in feeding grain 
to ewes, that have cast lambs until sure 
that milk flow will not cause trouble. 
Equal parts shelled corn and whole oats 
is a good ration. AA’^e do not give grain 
until near lambing time. Unless ram is 
cross to ewes would not take him away 
now. Sheep need plenty of fresh air, 
and close housing invariably causes colds 
and decreased wool production. L. F. A.
