: The Management of Bulls. | -_— | In The Albany Cultivator, Col. F. D. Curtis presents some suggestions which will have the hearty endorsement of those ‘who have had long and varied experience regarding the management of bulls. No one will ever know the loss which breeders have brought vpon themselves by parting with bulls before the young stock of their get can show the value of theirsire. It would be a somewhat easier task to estimate the erroneous loss the country sustains through the neglect of owners of bulls to put those animals into active service in heavy farm operations—to give them sober views, through the yoke, of the practical duties of life. Says Mr. Curtis:— | In the first place it is a mistake to turn off a bull before his posterity have been tested, to know his value. When thus gotten rid of, the breeder may be doing himeelf a great injury, because he inay be disposing of the best animal he ever had or ever will have. The first Jersey bull I ever owned was Hero 840, A. J, ©. C., present- ed to me by ex-Goy. Claflin of Massachu- setts. He was a supericr animal, and when four years old I was tempted to sell him for 500 dols. in gold, to go to California. He made the trip there alone, and went through all right. This was in September, 1872. I had one heifer-calf from this buil, Princess Caroline 2,021, which afterwards won the first prize as a two-year-old, and the second prize as a cow at the New York State Fair. As a cow she was beaten one point (in color of skin) by Mr. Wing’s Maple Leaf. Prin- cess Caroline is still the pride of Kirby ‘Homestead, and Hero is mourned as glory lest. His memory is still green in the minds of those of the neighbors who bad the good sense to patronise him, for with every one their ‘‘best cow” is Hero’s calf. | High feeding to keep ff? *#how condition is the worst thing to do with a bull. My bulls are wintered on straw. On this feed they keep quiet and in good enough con- dition, A change to hay in the spring gives them a start, and keeps them in g enough order for use. A thinnish bull will serve more cows and get more cxlves thana fatone. To breed dairy stock, different management is required than for breeding animals for beef; not only a different type, but care. The Ayrshire stock bas suffered from this mistake—too much Shorthorn . modelling— and | do not intend my Jerseys shall be beefy in sires, dams, or offspring ; beefy bulls will in time get beefy calves. I flatter niyself that after travelling around considerably, changing bulls, lam now in the right road, viz,, to stay athome. The

Manitoba Snakes.

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND SERPENTS IN ONB HOLE.

“There is,” says an American paper, ‘‘a horse-shoe shaped mountain ‘in Manitoba which is literally alive with snakes. A trustworthy correspondent writes that there isa perpendicular hole in the solid rock, about fifteen feet deep, like a barge well, where probably 300,000 snakes used to gather from all parts of the surrounding prairie to pass the winter in the subter- ranean passages leading in all directions at ‘the buttom. Some of the passages are ‘large enough for a man to crawl through, but the stench is too strong. In the spring ‘they would scatter through the adjoining ‘country so thickly, they would become a ‘common nuisance. If a man left his coat ‘on the ground in the field a score or more ‘of them would craw] under it, and they often took possession of the large shanty ‘used then asa church on Sunday, frighten- ing the ladies out of their wits and forcing ‘them to stand up on the seats and shriek for protection. It was finally decided to exterminate them if possible, and one mild ‘winter about eight years ayo, after they had gathered into the pit, a wali was built ‘around the mouth of it inclining inward a little, and two foxes and a setter dog were put down to killthem. Three wagon loads of skeletons were taken out in the spring for a bonfire.” | The above, remarks a Winnipeg Journal, |probably refers to the colony of reptiles, which infested Stony Mountain some years ‘ago. In the mountain was a big hole where thousands upen thousands cf rattle snakes equirmed and wiggled in happy con- ‘tentment. The den is now a thing of the ‘past, having, with its inmates, been de- stroyed by dynamite, an‘ not by two foxes ‘and asetter dog as stated. The intro-
