April *6.?Mora mum* tKa iioafiilnAAli of the CO operative bull associations Is recogilMd as time |om on and Its bene3 eta to tha dairy industry have a ahsnoe to become evident. The full result* that can be obtained from luoh an association obviously can not appear for several years. It is evident therefore that since the bull associations are of only recent beginning, the benefits s" far obtained are only the fore-shadowing of greater things to come. The co-operative bull association (das been carefully planned to enable a number of small dairymen and farmers who individually could not af Irora gooa ouiib, 10 wmmuc won ? ?sources and buy a few really good ' dairy 6ires. For example, suppose four farmers each have $100 to inves' P1' B01 in a bull. They are so situated that they can all use the same bull. The association makes it possible for them _ to po^fl their resources and buy one ? $400 bull, presumably four times ai A good as any one of the four $100 ani- * mals that they could buy individually. It is gratifying to see that this theory is working out in practice so well that 't applies not only to the dairymen with $100 available for investment in i? a bull but equally w^ll to the one with only $10. or on the other hand "^x"' to the one with *50f>. Saves the Good Bulls. The mon^v advantage is the first js thing which attracts the farmer's at- joi tention to the hull association, but by pu far the greatest advantage of the or- rei ganization is the pxchange of bulls w' every two years by means of which q. continued use of bulls can be had until their value is proved. Statistical Tl figures indicate that bulls owned by m; individuals are used only to an aver- | age age of about three years. At this D0 age It Is impossible to have any pro- cjt duction records of the offspring, y which la the only real test of a sore's ph I value. Because of this short life of ab the bull it happens over and over c.? again that dairy farmers have dis- jj? ooverad, after the daughters hiu! finished a record, the exceptional pre- ba potent qualities of their Blre; and on then, oa looking around for that sire, have mate aaother discovery, a sad I one, that the search was futile, for I J the eire bad tone to the butcher. !

The claim Is made In behaH of the bull association as an institution ttrat It opens up an opportunity lor fee small dadryman to do pus* breeding The Iguree gatfcefed In the 1919 directory of bull associations show ttiat while the number of organisations, the number of members, eta., here Increased lees than 77 per eMt en eompared with 1918, the Increase in nuavber of purebred cowa owned by members went up 240 per cant, ?ho>w* lng plainly that the bull association does help the small breeder to do pure breeding. Ne Chance of Loss. We bare still to get the first re port from a farmer to the effect tnat he has lost money on his Investment in a co-operative bull association, says J. P. LaiMaster, Extension Service dairy hugfbandman. The greateet loss that can be sustained from a disbanded association is that the wrong impression which the community and other communities may receive may prevent them from organising other associations of the same klmd. For this reaeoo, we are anxious to see all aseooi&tioes erganised on the right baste aad property looked after, so that aoas ef them will disband. 9?9fl*et(?ns for 3wcc?ss.
