Treacle for Young Bulls

There is no doubt that, in spite of all

the warnings that have been given,

................treacle is still used extensively

................................for breeding stock, notably

in forcing young bulls and heifers into blooming

........condition for show or sale. We are aware

........that it is included in the feeding mixture

for young bulls

..............in several of the leading herds of the day;

but in almost all these cases there is a skilful hand

at the helm, and the tasty but dangerous treacle

is given sparingly and judiciously, so as to benefit

the animals without impairing their fecundity.

We say "almost," because, unfortunately,

as we are also aware, there is too good reason

.....................................................to believe

that in some cases harm is really being done

to the breeding properties of young animals,

bulls more largely than heifers, by the too liberal

................................................and imprudent

........................................................use of treacle.
