Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association "WHERE BETTER BULLS ARE USED" It's all in the family perforinance records .of our horned Hereford bull — B. DOMINO P. T. 605M who we purchased from Max A. Blau of Follett, Texas, at the Pantech-tested Bull Sale at Panhandle, Texas, one year ago. • 3.24 lbs. was his average daily gain on official test for 140 days and this was the highest of the 119 bulls on test in 1958. In addition to this he was one of a group of four paternal brothers that were thehighest gaining group of sons of one bull. He also 'graded Fancy the highest possible for conforma- tion. His maternal brother was the sire of. the second highest gaining group. HISTORY REPEATS IN 1959 The sire of our B. Domino P. T. 605 M again had the highest gaining group of sons on the same test and the highest gaining individual gained 3.81 ibs. per day for 140 days. His dam is a maternal sister to B. Domino P. T. 605 M. A half interest in this 3/4 brother sold for $4,000.00 and graded Fancy. The second highest priced bull sold for $3,500.00; this bull was sired by the older maternal' brother to B. Domino P. T. The third highest priced bull sold for $1,200.00 and the entire sale averaged just under $600.00. This is an example of the kind of bulls we liave avail- able for service and the cost is very modest.

One is by applying force behind a sharp scraper or sandpaper, by hand or with a power sander. The other is by using a liquid remover. Suppose you want to change the colour of a wood finish from light to dark, or vise versa. If the piece is made of flat surfaces, without turnings, carvings or moldings, then a sharp cabinet scraper, kept sharp with a file, will do this job cleanly, down to the raw wood in a single stroke. This method is more rapid than using a solvent-type of remover, but requires considerable exper- ience with the tool, The second way to get the sur- faces cleaned-off is with a chemi- cal. There are Several of these removers available at hardware stores which are non-inflammable, odorless and soluble in water. To use a chemical, the essential equipment is a brush, a wide rimless can, a three-inch scraper, steel wool and a stiff scrubbing brush. A brass wire brush such as you use on suede shoes, will be useful for small corners, as well as a "pick" made of a six- inch piece or 1/4 -inch. dowel, sharp- ened at one end with a pencil sharpener. (An ordinary wooden meat skewer will -work fine), Put on your rubber gloves, ap- ply a heavy wet coat• of remover to an area or not over two to four square feet of flat surface, or a couple of legs of a chair. ' Don't brush the remove'. as yon would enamel, but daub it on from a full brush and cover the sur- face with as little brushing as possible. Wait 20 minutes, take the putty knife or scraper and slide it from you at an angle or about 45 de- grees. The remover has done its work if the scraper slides along the surface of the Wood .easily and removes the old finish which should be soft as custard, You will have to wait a little longer, if this doesn't happen. If it is sticky and dry-looking, put on an- other coat, but should it still be wet, give it, a little longer time. As you lift off the old finish, scrape it off your putty knife into the tin can. Never dig or scrape hard on the surface of the furni- ture, but if necessary, apply a second coat to areas that don't clean off to the wood with the first application. Two treatments will he plenty to take off even the most stubborn finish generally. If not, you have been using the wrong type or remover, You will be glad of the rubber gloves now, because next you take the steel wool pad and twist it into the moldings, or hollows in the furniture to clean them out, as well as the flat surfaces. Fol- low immediately with a stiff brush on these parts. Take the wooden pick and wrap an old cloth around it and clean out all the corners. If you are using a water-solu- able remover, dip the brush and steel wool in water to soak off all the softened finishing material. Scrub the surface of the furni- tUre using plenty of water to clean it of all finishing material, Wipe with a cloth and you are finished, However, if the more common type of solvent-base- remover is being used, you must now use the' steel wool with a solvent such as Mineral spirits or gasoline, Rub the surface down well with this, Work Away From Fire A further aid to a complete cleaning job after using a solvent and wax remover, is a scrubbing brush and boiling hot water solu- tion of the alkali floor cleaner which you may obtain in all hard- ware stores, This floor cleaner is a remover in itself—though not of the fastest or strongest type—and it will remove the last traces of material from the crevices of the wood, as well as raising the grain slightly, which help boost out the last hard-to-get element of old finish, The thoroughness of the clean- ing, will depend on ypur future plans for the furniture. If it is merely to be refinished in the same, or a darker tone, it should be allowed to dry thoroughly 16 to 24 hours — and then sanded lightly with a fine-textured sand- paper. If, however, the old paint finish is being removed or if the piece is to be bleached to a lighter tone, every bit of old material must be removed. The water- alkali floor cleaner should be ap- plied with a brass wire brush or sandpaper. Filler can be removed from the pores or coarse-textured woods, such as oak,. ash, and walnut by applications of the floor cleaner or even a ,hot solution of lye or caustic soda, brushing the grain lengthwise with a fine wire brush. If lye , or caustic soda is used, rinse down the piece with a half- and-half solution of ordinary cid- er vihegar and water before dry- ing. o— It takes 10 inches of snow to equal an inch of rain. Enough. Trouble th Weeds — Sp 'Don't Sow More Maybe it's sounding a, new note to suggest that killing .or control- ling weeds can be unprofitable. Nevertheless, the time has arrived when we can no longer afford to kill weeds just for the satisfac- tion of it. We must control them for a specific desirable result, and, in the main, that result must be bigger .and better crops, says the Field Crops Branch of the Ontar- io Department of Agriculture. Otherwise, the weed control be- comes an unprofitable expense. The main reason weeds cause reduced crop returns is the com- petition they give the crop for sp- ace, sunlight, moisture, and plant nutrients, The effect of this com- petition is greatest when crop plants are small. In the crops of wheat, oats, and barley, competi- tion occurs when the crop plants are in the four-to-six-leaf stage. Therefore, to be most profitable, weed populations should be elimin- ated at that time. In the case of corn, the damage caused by weeds is most pronounced at tasseling tage. -ate. This illustrates particularly th importance of eliminating Weed before they've done the darilag to the crop they're sharing th.. field with. Primarily, control st arts with weed-free seed, Weed free seed is basic to clean farming and without it all other forms of weed control are wholly inade, vote. Weed seeds planted with the crop on a well-prepared, fertilized seed bed germinate on the instalment plan — some this year, some next year—se that no. matter what post-seeding treat- ment is followed, this one mis- deed will haunt the careless sew* er for many years.
