Before a new telescope -type stretcher, - made of nylon and aluminum, was adopted' by the Canadian Armed Forcesit got the works. They jumped on it, dropped rocks on it, tossed it out of aircraft and army lorries, froze it in ice, buried it in mud and, sand. They finally gave up —and placed the order. If.s lightness and compactness makes this rugged stretcher a natural for everything from northern air -rescue work to the • needs of hospital, police, Civil Defence and other authorities ...

At 131/2 months of age at slaughter, it weighed 981 pounds. It gained 2.21 pounds a day. Another steer sired by BraedoonLancer went on test at 515 Pounds at 61/2 months. When -it went to the slaughter house at 131,a months it weighed 909—or a gain of 2.01 pounds a day. "I never used to get gains like this from- my, own bulls," said Mr. Scheifele. "Of course, an individual farmer cannot afford to buy a $2000.00 buil like the unit can on a co-operative basis." The per -day rate of gain on the two calves tested was "Exceptional."
