Often Weakens ' Dairy Bull Calf Too often a bull calf goes short of exercise. And this- kind of treat- ment- reat- rn will r�O. t,oniy weaken his bleeding powers but could render him completely impotent before he reaches maturity, • So warns Q.A.C. dairy cattle re- searcher, J. C,' Rennie. He men- tions another danger too: by the time the sire is old enough to have daughters in milk -just when you can really judge his value as a herd sire -he is useless for breed- ing purposes. The Ontario Department of Agri- culture dairy scientist thinks these four i'dea•s• ••might help: A special power exerciser set to keep the bull walking at a slow pace around the circle. Placing a long sweep on a post, and tying the buff to one end, aI- lowing him to revolve the sweep by walking. Chaining the bull to an overhead cable, and letting him walk the length of the cabl'e. A heavy barrel or block` which cafe' be bunted about the pen. If more than cine bull i8 kept, they may be allowed to run togeth- er, says Renniei There is no dan- ger in this system if the bulls are dehorned, ,0 a of the chief advantages of ha g bulls together is that the bull take more efcerclse t h. n.'when con' nod, d alone, CONTINUES TO -JAN #t ,Y 16th ' COME WITH THE CRQWDS TO THIS GIGANTIC CLEARANCE SALE • FOR THE 'BARGAINS OF A LIFETIME ! - MEN'S Clothing „ Val-ues- $69.50 2 -rant Suits 55.00 59.50 Suits 47.50 49.50 Suits - 39.550 ALL Sport'Coats 18.95 Men's Topcoats Gu% orf Car Coats • • • • 20% off BOYS'' Sport -Coats 10.95- Car Coats • • • • Gu%p otf Dress- Pants • • 20% off, Lined Jeans • • 20% off CLEARANCE!

Take a tip from 0,A,C. engineer Frank Theakston, and make sure you do .the job. right. "It's better to use some other method for connection if you can't meet the temperature, moisture, and glue condition necessary for strong bonding," says Theakston. Take your choice of glue, for in- stance. Casein glues are the most popular around most farm • build- ings but they won't. last if 'the moisture conditions are high. Phen- ol -formaldehyde, resorcinol - form- aldehyde or mixtures of the two will better stand idle• high mois- ture cohditipns found in many pig and poultry houses. Temperature and wood -moisture are important too. Theakston sug- gests you glue in a temperature of 70 degrees fhreiiheit: The mois- ture content of the wood should be under 16 per cent. The wood should be seasoned and kiln dried if pos- sible. How can you check if thee. lum- ber is dry enough? The glue should hold its consisteney after it is applied, and should not "run" as oil does. on water, Most lum- ber dealers have a' moisture meter which should be used during con- struction to make sure the kiln - dried lumber hasn't absorbed too much moisture, One last point. Use nails for ap- plying pressure to the glue line to get better surface contact. Doh't expect,nails to add to the strength of the glue line; claihps should be used for this Nob. Theakston sug- gest using,- flat -headed 'common nails that are at least 2 Vati me s the thickness' ofa lamination. Use ono nail ever' eight square inches of glue area and make sine that it is driven so well home you see glue squeeze out. Replacement Care Pays Dividends The days you pick to market your hogs are inrportant, but the biggest day of the year is When you pick your relil'acement gilts. So says R. P. Forshaw, swine researcher at the Ontario Agricul- tural College, "The quality of the pigs you select this year will de- termine the quality of the ,pigs you produce next year," ' ' His reasoning: if a 'farmer picks gilts which are better than __ their dams, and then metes them to an above herd average boar, his next crop of pigs should out- do his pre -sent crop. Start by picking the best litters while they are on the 'sow. Only the pigs from gond tempered, heavy milking, sows should be con- sidered. It's best to identify thd'" pigs while thy. are young •so they':can be spotted, 'later - 16i final selection. - "Watch for inherited faults 'stick as ruptured or ridgling pigs " warns Forshaw: "If you hatie lots of pigs to pick from all `litter's.. with ruptured or riclgling pigs should be culled." "Check the uniformity and rate of growth, as well as type:at 200 pounds," says Forshaw. -Final fieleetion should be made before -any .pigs . are marketed so- that -•yell keep -the best type, and' lastest:-For ., ro to g keepinggbrony breeding, 'i div dtt from 'the best.doing litter. `
