her".
If the Bradleys of Quebees
Eastern Townships had deliberate-
ly set out to prove the family farm
was still an important economic
factor in Canadian agrienittire,
they couldn't have been mere sue'
cessf el, Many changes rave taken
place since Mrs, Bradley's great-
grandfather, a United Empire
Loyalist, received the initial greet
of land in 1846, but the farm re-
mains essentially a family concern.
Three geneeetiong now occupy the
specking home. and participate in
the business.
Tra.veriand Farms are located
four miles fiorn :Masonville
.Brome County, They are opereted
by Ernie Bradley and his son,
Keith, who combine • years of prae-
tical farming experience with the
most , modern scientific deyeloP-
ments to operate' a thriving deity
business. The Bradleyg are' grass-
land farmers, for their 700saete
farm does not lend itself to exten-
sive cultivation, Much of the area
is Wooded and most, o£ the workable
land is on steep hillsides almoet
in the foothills oil the Sutton
Mountains.
A little over .two year's ago, facei
with the rising production costs of
modern mechanized farming, the
Bradleys decided on a major
change ' in their operations. Their
income was dependent on the aVail-
ability of suitable markets for fluid
milk and Traverland Farms, are
located 80 miles from Montreal,
With this market inaccessible the
logical answer was to build a dairy
on their own farm, carry the pro-
duction of milk through the come
plete cycle from cow to customer
and sell within an economic radius.
Traverland Dairy began opera-
tions in February 195es, The whole
plant was custom-made primarily
to handle the milk production ef
the farm herd, but demand sods'
made it necessary to augment tie
supply with milk purchased froin
local farmers.
Although their new venture wee
a large one, they Bradley family
organized themselves to handle it.
Supervision or production actlyittee
on the ferhi le1118 Ernest Bradley
and, his wife took charge in the
house. Keith assumed management
of the new processing plant. For
this he was qualified from the
dairy school in St. Hyacinthe. His
wife, Joan, a graduate in languages
from McGill University, took over
the maintenance of 'the farm re-
cords and accounts.
The building which houses the
dairy is remarkably small for it
was designed to allow one man to
handle the complete operation. It
consists of an unloading platform,
a receiving and testing room, a
large room where the complete pro-
cess is carried out and a cold room.
In the handling of milk, tem-
perature control is of the utmost
importance. At all times govern-
ment ,regulatioes must be strictly
followed and the design of Traver-
land. Dairy was planned to follow
these regukttions.

ter horsepower motor and the re-

Milk from the Traverland herd
is handled with extreme care and
cleanliness from the time it leaves'
the cow until it reaches the bottle.
The cow's are milked by machine'
and the milk is weighed and pour-
ed into /sterilized milk cans which
are quickly eoeled. The tempera-
ture in the cooleCis kept around

nitrogen, phosphate and. potash., He
can tell what fertilizer mixture is
the most economic to buy and hoW
much of it should be applied per
acre.

Nothing is wasted cm the Bradley
farm; Surplus milk and skim milk
are` fed, to the pigs, The farm has
a Danish-style piggery capable of
handling as many as :300 pigs at a
time. When ready for market they
are sold to Canada Packers Limited
and provide :a secondary source of
income,' Plans are already under
way to almost double the number
of pigs raked on the farm.
The work involved in starting
the dairy has, delayed the develop-
ment or the Traverland herd to' the
desired numbere, At present the
Bradjeye have 65 free listed and
acci-edited Holsteins, including 26
cows, in milk. A e planned breedieg
program is under way to help
maintain a steady flow of milk at
all "seasons, When. present plaus
have materialized -the Milking herd
will have been Increased to 50.
The Bradleys have proved them-
selves fitfing descendants of;,an en-
terprising. Canadian fermily. They
have carried on the tradition of
large scale planning and have more
than kept abreast of changing con-
ditions in the realm of agriculture.
A great deal has happened at' the
Traverland Farms in the past quar-
ter of e century and the Bradleys
still haven't by any means exhaust-

enough to mix easily to provide a
uniform, sample, farmers are urged
to have their soil tested in early
fall to determine the extent of nu-
trient deficiency.
How to prepare a soil sample, is
outlined by G. R. Snyder', head of
C-I-L's farm ,advisory service. •Mr.
Snyder says samples should be ta-
ken from several locations in the
field. If no soil tube is available a
spade may be used to dig down to
plow depth—about five to seven
inches, In permanent pastures dig
down to a three-inch depth.
Throw aside the first, spadeful of
soil and cut a thin slice down the
face of the bole. Remove it on the
spade, trim the sides with • a knife
and cut off any soil Of different
color at the bottom of the slice.
Place the trimmed slice in a clean
pail or basket, Repeat this opera-
tion at various places selected.
When all samples in' one area have
hem taken, mix the soil thoroughly'
and from the resultant mixture, a
