ontario in 1952 over 229000 cows or about 20 of the total were bred artificially some crit icism of artificial breeding he ad mitted was being offered by som breeders and breed organizations it was mr watsons opinion that much of this was not just crit icism but rather alarm due to the curtailment in sales of bulls in support of his statement mr watson pointed out that only 4 of the total registrations in hoi steins last year were bulls true toted mr watson artificial breed ing has revealed certain abnorm alties which previouslj was not general knowledge reference was made by mr watson to the red and white factor and dwarfism in beef bulls in short the use of unit bulls on thousands of cows had brought to light a condition which was either hidden from thr public or not generally realized i owing to the limited number of females bred b privately owned sires th s should indicate the heavy responsibihtj resting on those charged with the task of selecting bulls for use in

township councils would pass such a by law it is expected that at least two thirds of the cattle owners must petition for such action here comes the bride as radiant as can be in her shimmer ing gown

the queen s coronation gown was a secret as a brides wedding gown reckella herd recently it was our privilege to look over record of performance certiflcetes issued in 1953 for cows in the well known jersey herd of ken ella sons of hornby seldom if ever has it been our privilege to see such an outstanding lot of records in the herd of a small breeder this is all the more note worthy when one realizes that the owner ken ella has been operat ing his own herd for 10 years or less as a matter of fact we well recall when ken as a six year old showed his first jersey calf at a school fair ind that doesn t seem so long ago in all the certificates refer to 14 animals two of which are two year old two a ye ows flj i cil two are four year olds an 1 eight j florizontul 3iio are mature cows all

the silage is stored under proper con ditions it produces as satisfactory a product as other methods of stor age in addition the horizontal silo provides a means of self feeding for cattle d j cooper of the division of field husbandry soils and agn cultural engineering central ex penmental farm at ottawa ad vises the location chosen for the building of a horizontal silo should be well drained to avoid bog holes caused by seepage and spring run oil the size of the silo should be determined by the amount ol material to be stored one cubit foot of silage weighs between 40 50 pounds so that a silo 48 x 12 x 6 feet would hold approximate y 115 tons the silo should be at least 12 feet wjde in order to provide width for tractor packing the side walls of the silo should be sloped and made with 2 inch lumber tightly fitted to avoid spoilage the boarding may be either vertical or horizontal with supporting posts 4 to 6 fct apart side walls should be banked half way up with earth there are several ways of filling a silo the loads of chopped material can be unloaded by hand or can be pulled oft by rope sling 1 or a self unloading wagon may bi used however as each load is put in the silo it should be levelled off packing must be earned while the silo is bting filled the imnunt of packing will be govern ed bv the moisture content and maturity of the material early cut grass silage with high moisture will not require as much packing as more mature material wiu lower moisture content the longer the cut of the matcnal the more packing it will require the pack ing of the silo by tractor should continue for some time after the silo has been filled when the parting is completed the silage should be covered with from six to 12 inches of shavings then to lessen the risk of freez ing just before freezeup the top and aides should be covered with a layer of loose hay or straw 409 hw si tor culture not all found in books it s a pleasing comment on this country s talent that 37 of the 48
