his size and the amount offeed that he must consume to maintain that size and make growth.A large bull on a sparse range will take a good part of his time togather enough feed to maintain his size and produce growth, so hehas no time to give attention to his harem. The result, if hespends the greater part of his time with the cows, is that he doesnot get enough to eat and consequently he is condemned by theFlorida cattleman. In time this will change as the demand for cattle increases, and withthis increased demand for cattle will be a demand for better cattle,and better cattle can easily be supplied when pastures are fencedand the native bulls kept out.

A Leon County Dairy Herd of Jerseys on the Robert Bradford Farm By taking some care of the bulls we can easily arrange for the calvesto be dropped in December, January, February and March. Thatmeans that some time in August we can put our bulls in a pastureto themselves and keep them away from the cows until some timein March, and see that the bulls are kept in good, strong vigorouscondition through the winter. If pasture gets short, give your cattle other feed. Every man thathas a bunch of cows should have a dipping vat and a silo. Eachis a money-maker. The vat will keep the ticks down. No manever got a profit from feeding ticks and that is what he does whenhe allows his cows to become infested with the ticks, and heavyinfestation of ticks on a calf in the spring will give him such a stuntas he will never outgrow and develop as he should. A dipping vat can be made for one hundred dollars or less and itwill be worth several hundred dollars each year until the range isfree of ticks. Th
