Electric Fence
Controls Herd
One -Wire Type Carrying
Low Voltage Current
Is Approved By O,A.C.
O0uewir•e electrical fences, be-
coming popular with farmers in
Canada and the United States, are
aproved by two members of the
Faculty of the Ontario Agt'iculturol
College whose opinions are given
in the current isuse of the 0. A, C.
monthly magazine.
Dr, 0. McConkey, of the Field
I3uslbandry Department, describes
the fence, a single strand al wire
through which courses low voltage
current, as "a cheap, effective, me-
thod of controlling grazing, thereby
utilizing feed more effectively and
preventing waste and uneven graz-
ing which occurs when animals are
allowed to wander at will over a
large field."
Prof. W. C. Blackwood, head of
the department of agricultural eu-
gineerimg, said the 20300 was "one
of the most interesting and most
useful pieces of Ontario farm equip-
ment," He added that the Ontario
Hydro -Electric Power .Commission
has wththeld permission to. connect
the fences to its power lines until
more detailed tests for safety of
operation have been made,

A NEW CAMERA YEAR
Progressing—moving upward Into the light—this striking picture could
well symbolize the serious camera hobbyist today.
HOW much did you learn about
Cl picture -tilting In the past year?
How much will you learn in the
New Year we are now entering?
This is a splendid time to take
stock of yourself, examine your cam-
era progress, matte plans for the
future. Could the figure on the stair-
case above symbolize yo0? Are you
standing still --or are you moving
upFa'ard into the Tight, fieading more
about picture -taking, studying your
Metrics, inking more, and constant-
ly trying to improve?
Muth of value is being written
these days about taking better Isfti:-
tures. Simple, practical handbooks
about photography are readily avail-
able, Photo magazines contaimntuclt
useful information, Manufacturers
Of cameras and film offer dolens of
free pamphlets• --•'not advertising,
but practical Instruction booklets.
Every camera hobbylst should avail -
himself of these aide, for wider
knowledge helps one matte better
pictures,
Is It your habit to study light and
shadow—not just when taking a pin'
tura, - but in everything you see?
Light and shadow are the Sub-
stances of which photographs are
made.. Observe them, compare their
variations In morning and evening,
on sunny and hazy days—and you
will learn touch about 'finding pic-
tures that please the eye.
What do You know of color filters
—the little devices which, slipped
over a camera lens, account for
many of the striking "effect" pic-
tures one sees today? Have you
studied the simple rules of compo-
sition that help you arrange pie-
tures so much more Pleasingly? In-
expensive, elementary books on how
to make goad pictures explain all
these things in a manner that any
picture -lover can understand.
Why net make the new Fear a:
period 02 study as well as of picture-
taking? Broad knowledge is not
needed to get pictures, but it helps
obtain pictures that are better, nt:tro
pleasing, more satisfying. And today
such knowledge is so easy to ace
