It is contended that the proposed new regulations drafted by pthe Do- minion Department of Agriculture do not faithfully interpret the Spirit of the Dommion Swine Con- ferenee resolution and that little or no improx ement in the situation can he looked fo1 until the compulsory feature of the grading regulations is _put into tome and lived up to.

Mr. Peebles some three or {our years ago found it necessary to give up the strenuous work of dairy farming, commencing poultry keeping with a small flock of Leghorns secured from the neighboring Cloverland Farm. This flock, now containing about £00 birds. is being trap nested in the Record of Performance test. Mr. Poebles today has better health and bigger profits than ever before. He has a line business in market eggs. baby chicks and breeding stock and has planned to extend his buildings to accommodate 1.000 layers.
