The ones that are not, that have "off days", or wee ks waste a herd's time and income. Artificial insemination units with modern laboratory equipment, can detect and lay aside these bulls, eliminating a major cause of delay- ed calf crops. Ontario's top cattle breeders today rely on the services of their A. I. co-ops, for regular crops of quality calves.

Mr. Ross Clarke, R. R. If2, CREDITON, Ontario Dashwood steam engine is donated to museum An important part of the early operations of Dashwood. Planing Mills, now known as Dashwood Industries Limited, has left to take up residence in an Ottawa Museum. A steam engine, purchased in 1938 by the late Thomas Klumpp to provide the steam power for his sawmill business, will be on display later in the year at the National Museum of Science and Technology in the nation's capital. Since activities of the Dash- wood company have become more diversified, the machine original- ly manufactured by Babcock-Wil- cox of Gait in 1886 has been providing the means of power to produce the required elec- tricity for the plant. The former bashwood engine will be an important cog in por- traying the story of the evolu- tion of steam power in Canada. In its Ottawa museum loca- tion, the engine will be operated by an electric motor and its actual taped sounds will be dub- bed in to add a touch of realism. ADD MACHINE In keeping with it's overall expansion program, D a sh wood Industries Limited have installed Some new equipment at the Dash- wood plant. A new Jenkins double end ten- noner with five stations, manu- factured by Kohler General of Sheboygan, Wisconsin and dis- tributed by Akhurst Machinery of Toronto arrived at Dashwood, early in the new year. This is one of the largest and most versatile precision pro- duction type woodworking ma- chine in use anywhere. It is approximately 20 feet wide, 18 feet long, 84 inches high and weighs some 20,000 pounds. Eleven cutting arbours each from 7 1/2 to 15 horse power are accessibly positioned for convenient adjustment to ac- complish complex machining on both ends and face surfaces of a board simultaneously in one pass, Additional cutting arbours can be added as needed in the future, While Dashwood will use this particular machine primarily on millwork for home construction, such as windows and door units, it could readily be used to pro- duce high grade furniture, cab- inets and fixtures. The newly increased produc- tion capacity will enable the Dashwood firm to expand its market coverage to parts of Can- * ada that were previously un- atainable. It is anticipated that these new market areas will lead to increased employment opportuni- ties for the working force of Huron County. Community holds euchre EMIL RUGGABER Increase production A versatile woodworking machine has been installed byDashwood In- dustries Ltd. at their Dashwood plant. The large machine weighing about 10 tons will help to increase the production capacity of the area firm.
