PROLONGING THE PERIOD OF SERVICE OF DAIRY SIRES -x Dairy bulls at Beltsville, Md., have been put on a daily regime calculated by specialists of the bureau of dairy industry, United States Department of Agriculture, to prolong their life of usefulness in the various breeding projects under way on the experimental farm. Systematic exercise and the feeding of sprouted oats are two of the most important features of the a plan. Investigations in the past have proved the beneficial effects of exercise is maintaining the health and fertility of bulls, and the practice has been consistently advocated. The feeding of sprouted oats to bulls is in line with the beneficial results this feed has shown in correcting breeding difficulties n icows and virgin heifers. Sprouted oats vitamin E, a lUpply the shortage of which is often held responsible for abnormal functions of reproductive organs in varoius kinds of animals. The special need for determining the best methods of handling dairy bulls to maintain their potency fop many years is a result of the proved sire idea recently brought into favor. Proved sires are those whose daughters have been tested in sufficient numbers to indicate a consistent ability on the part of the sire to transmit high production. Such proof obviously can not be obtained until the sires are older than the average dairy bull. Five of the bureaus herd bull3 are over 8 years of age and average 10 years. One is 15 years old and continues an active breeder. Several young bulls are being fed experimentally toj test the effect of rations on fertility, two and older bulls are now being examined to determine the effects in fertility of excessive service, lack of exercise and close confinement. y, ver-abrate- so-call- ed s, , i con-rsntr- te 't web-wor- nt u er ob-rv- ed My-cc- PRUNING In commercial orchards where much pruning is necessary it is commonly done throughout the win! ter, whenever the weather conditions are suitable for working in the orchard.
