The short answer is that you need to use the window() command with ts objects.
The (ever so slightly) longer answer is that no one really likes ts objects and that's why a proliferation of contributed packages exist to deal with their "idiosyncracies". The most popular for finance are zoo and xts and I heartily recommend you start using those for your analysis if at all possible. If you use those, you can use simple commands like x[1:250] to get the first 250 elements or you can subset by time for xts which is very nice.
