Now better than ever!
See for yourself. Take a handful of new formula CO•oP Feed. Run it
through your fingers. Smell it. Even taste it. You'll find it fresh,
uniformly textured and palatable.
And that's lust a starter. For real proof put COOP Feed to work on
your farm and compare the results with any other feed.
CO -0P Feeds produce "results" because they are developed especial-
ly for Ontario farmers by your feed research organization—one of the
largest in North America. In Ontario and throughout the United
States, nutritionists and feed specialists, trained to recognize your
needs, work in the Co-operative network of laboratories, feed plants
and research farms. Here, they set and maintain the industry's
strictest quality standards. Their one aim is to make farming a
better, more rewarding life.
Remember too, your Co-operative is your business . growing
stronger and more successful every year. Try today's COOP Feed
and see why.

BULL THISTLE
Weed of the Week series
ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
This thistle, introduced to
us from Europe possesses other
names such as spear thistle or
plume thistle.
Buil thistle is a deep footed
biennial which can grow to a
height of 3 to 4 feet, The main
characteristics are prickly
wings on the ridged stems and
deep purple flowers. One of
the features which distinguishes
this thistle from Scotch thistle
is that only the underside of the
leaves are wooly -hairy whereas,
the whole plant of the Scotch
thistle is hairy, says the Soils
and Crops Branch, Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture.
The bull thistle is common-
ly found in pasture:, old fields
and waste places; on soils that
tend to remain moist.
This weed is spread by seed.
One method of control is by
cultivation as this Deed does
not persist in cultivated crops.
Bull thistle present at this time
of the year should he clipped to
reduce seed production. Also,
be on the look out for small
rosettes in the fall. In a grass
pasture these rosettes may be
killed by one spray application
of 16 oz. /acre of 2,4-D acid
as ester, in early fall or late
spring. If legumes are present,
use 16-20 oz. of 2, 4 -DB acid
as ester.
Bees too Busy to Sting,
Unlikely to Attack You
Bees are busy insects; so
busy they can't waste time
looking for victims to sting.
Yet many people have the im-
pression that if a bee approach-
es, it will sting. Because a
worker bee's sting is her de-
fence, which when used puts an
end to her life, she is unlikely
to attack unless pestered.
If a swarm of bees is left
alone or dealt with properly,
the same fact applies; there is
little reason to be afraid.
In early summer months
swarming is most frequent, and
more for you

W. A. TIFFIN, Wingham
though the swarm does not cre-
ate much danger, it is wise to
leave it undisturbed. Swarm-
ing is caused by an overcrowd-
ed condition in the hive. As
bees become too numerous,
thousands of workers leave. the
hive along with the old queen,
to find a new residence. They
fly in a loose mass for half a
mile or so and cluster on a
convenient resting place.
Swarming is a temporary stop
for the bees until scouts can
find a new home, which may
take from a few hours to sever-
al days.
If it is found necessary to re-
move the bees, a beekeeper
should be consulted. He will
install them in a new hive and
remove them from the prem-
ises.
DOGS GOING TO U.S.
Canadians taking dogs into
the United States must produce
a current certificate of vaccin-
ation against rabies and should
consult a veterinarian at least
one month before the planned
crossing. Dogs may be brought
into this country from the U.S.
on a certificate signed•by a
veterinarian licensed in Canada
or the U.S. attesting that the
animal has been vaccinated
against rabies during the pre-
ceding twelve months.

Control of Flies
Needed for Cattle
Varying temperatures of
late spring and early summer
held flies in check but as the
nights get warmer a buildup in
the fly population is expected.
The fly problem is usually most
serious where cattle arc pastured
near woodlots or in Northern On-
tario where blackfly is found.
In some cases blackflies have
caused so much irritation to
cattle that breeding disorders
have set in. In most parts of the
province, however, hornfly and
facefly are the most common
pests.
Back rubbers can be installed
near a mineral box or water
source in both becf and dairy
pastures. There are a number
of reliable insecticides that can
be used in them. Back rubbers
are effective and should be
checked regularly to assure pro-
per operation. Where facefly is
the most serious problem a face
rubber may be used. It gives
off the chemical in powder
form when rubbed.
Some dairymen control flies
by spraying cattle daily in the
barn. It is important to use
effective, authorized chemicals
and not just oil or other sub-
stitutes, Where insecticides
are used properly, any insect
bothering the herd will be con-
trolled.

YOU NEED SHURGA1N
Pasture Dairy Ration
Despite the fact dairy cattle were fed well all
winter they could lose weight if fed only lush,
green pasture. pastures are high in protein but
low in carbohydrates and energy.
SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY RATION is high
in carbohydrates and thus provides the energy
lacking in lush green pastures. Maintain your
herd production throughout the early growing
season with SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY
RATION.
