A Beer Keg in the Bull Pen 
One Way to Spend Sunday Afternoon 
By H. E. BABCOCK 
S OME of the older 
readers o f t h e 
American Agriculturist may remem¬ 
ber, when on occasional trips to town 
for a supply of staple groceries, seeing 
enormous trucks loaded with what may 
best be described, so the present gen¬ 
eration may understand it, as minia¬ 
ture molasses barrels. 
These small barrels were popularly 
known as beer kegs. They were used 
for storing an amber liquid which was 
formerly much sought after by farm 
hands and others. Although they have 
served their purpose, these kegs still 
may be found, and the other day I 
heard of a most practical use for them. 
For years we have been taught to 
keep a bull until its daughters were old 
enough to determine the value of the 
animal as a herd sire. Where we have 
done this we have run into some very 
practical difficulties. The only safe 
place for a four or five-year-old bull is 
in a strong pen; kept in this way for 
very long without his natural exercise 
the utility of the animal for breeding 
soon disappears. 
To prevent this, various devices have 
been resorted to, so he might have the 
necessary exercise. Some farmers use 
tread powers; others build large yards; 
and one man I know of hangs a^ block 
of wood on a rope from the ceiling of 
the bull’s stall, this block of wood 
serving as a sort of punching bag with 
which the hull gets a truly astounding 
amount of exercise. 
None of these devices have seemed 
practical in our case, and we have been 
at a loss to know what to do until a 
friend came along and suggested the 
beer keg. His idea is for us to simply 
throw a beer keg in the stall and let 
the bull do the rest. He assures us that 
if we will do this the bull will put in 
most of his time wrestling with the keg 
and trying to corner it so he can smash 
it. The keg having been built to with¬ 
stand considerable pressure from the 
inside and being slippery for a bull to 
get hold of, refuses to be cornered or 
to be smashed. 
As a result, says our friend, the bull 
will get the exercise he needs. We 
would like to try the idea, but alas, 
we haven’t a beer keg.

In some places they 
lodged, and wherever 
this occurred not an alfalfa plant 
could be found. 
The really interesting point in the 
afternoon’s inspection, however, came 
when we struck a gravelly eight-acre 
field, long considered one of the poorest 
on the farm. 
This field we summer-followed last 
summer with the intention of seeding it 
to alfalfa in > August. We got behind 
in our work, and when August came 
the field was as hard as a city pave¬ 
ment; we had to wait for fall rains 
and consequently did not get it in until 
about October 1. 
Last fall the little plants barely 
showed themselves; this spring we find 
a perfect stand of strong, healthy al¬ 
falfa plants. It is the best test of the 
remarkably hardy qualities of true 
Grimm alfalfa that has ever come to 
my attention. 
Making 
I know of no more pleasant way to 
spend a Sunday afternoon than in an 
inspection of the fields and crops on a 
farm. Whenever I can I plan to put 
in my Sunday afternoon this way. 
Yesterday I made a particular point 
of studying last year’s seedings of 
clover and alfalfa. 
I went out, I must admit, prepared 
for almost any sort of a disappoint¬ 
ment because the weather for the last 
month has been about the hardest I 
have ever experienced for new seed¬ 
ings. The fact that I came back de¬ 
lighted with what I found, I am con¬ 
vinced, is due entirely to the known- 
origin, hardy seed which we used ex¬ 
clusively for the first time last year. 
We first came to a sixten-acre _field_of 
clover seeding. This was put in with 
rye last spring and the rye and seeding 
top-dressed with stable manure. Last 
fall the clover was ten inches high in 
places and as thick as it would stand. 
We tried the experiment of pasturing 
it off and made a lot of milk from it. 
This spring apparently every clover 
plant is alive; it would seem to prove 
that new seeding may safely be pas¬ 
tured if it is not cropped off too closely. 
Perfect Stand of Grimm Alfalfa 
Next we came to a four-acre field, 
seeded last spring with wheat to 
Grimm alfalfa, twelve pounds to the 
acre. Here we found an almost per¬ 
fect stand, except in one place, where 
water had run over the field and left 
a slight deposit of silt and mud; in this 
place the alfalfa had apparently smoth¬ 
ered out. 
Further evidence of the fact that 
alfalfa will not stand smothering was 
furnished in the next field, an eight- 
acre field seeded to 15 pounds of com¬ 
mon Northern-grown alfalfa with oats 
last spring. The oats grew very large, 
yielding over fifty bushels to the acre. 
PENNSYLVANIA CATTLE FEED¬ 
ERS’ MEETING MAY 4 
The annual Pennsylvania Cattle 
Feeders’ meeting will be held at the 
Pennsylvania State College on Friday, 
May 4. At this time the steer-feeding 
experiments for the year will be con¬ 
cluded and the results announced. 
Sixty head of cattle divided into five 
lots will have been on feed for a period 
of 140 days at the close of the feeding 
test. The following rations are being 
fed this year: 
Lot I—Corn silage, shelled corn 
(full feed), cottonseed meal and corn 
stover. 
Lot II—Corn silage, shelled corn 
(two-thirds full feed), molasses re- 
placihg one-third of the corn in the 
ration, cottonseed meal and corn stover. 
Lot III—Mixed hay, shelled corn 
(full feed), and cottonseed meal. 
Lot IV—Mixed hay, shelled corn 
(two-thirds full feed), molasses replac¬ 
ing one-third of the corn in the ration 
and cottonseed meal. 
Lot V—Corn silage, corn stover and 
cottonseed meal. 
These cattle were purchased on the 
Chicago market in December and 
shipped direct to the College and placed 
on feed December 13. 
An interesting program has been ar¬ 
ranged for the occasion. Addresses 
will be made by cattle feeders, stock 
yards and packing-house representa¬ 
tives, in addition to the announcement 
and discussion of the results of the 
experiment._ 
MARKET MILK GRADES GET REC¬ 
OGNITION IN NEW JERSEY 
The fight for better city milk ordi- 
ances is gaining ground in New Jer¬ 
sey, although State aid along this line 
requested from the New Jersey Legis¬ 
lature by dairymen this year was not 
forthcoming. The municipalities of 
Princeton, Red Bank and Roselle Park, 
N. J., have recently passed ordinances 
that will give further guarantees of 
purity and classification of grades in 
those cities. 
Three market classifications have been 
recommended jointly by the New Jer¬ 
sey Bureau of Markets and the New 
Jersey State Department of Health. 
They provide for certified milk, raw 
milk from tuberculin-tested cows, and 
pasteurized milk. Cities which accept 
this grading require dealers to adopt 
one or more of the grades. They im¬ 
pose heavy penalties for misbranding. 
There is no State law at the present 
time which requires the adoption of 
these grades by any municipality; the 
teeth in the fight for standardized 
grades of milk come from municipality 
ordinances. Dairymen whose herds 
produce good milk under sanitary con¬ 
ditions from healthy cows have enthu¬ 
siastically backed this grading cam¬ 
paign.— W. H. Bullock. 
I prize the American Agriculturist 
very much, and have often found in it 
information which has been very val¬ 
uable to me in many ways.—Alva
