Humans don't like stale food. Neither do cows. And if a cow
doesn't enjoy her "feed, she Won't eat enough to increase her
milk production.
' So, for top milk production, feed yOur cows 43 "freshly-mixed"
feed that is net only rich in essential proteint,viteMins, minerals,
and energy food, but one that'll also made more palatable
by the presence of piinity of molasses. '

This is anotlier of a 'Series of
Weekly stories which John
"Carroll, assistant deputy min,
inter of agriculture for Ontario
and formerly secretary-man-
ager of the Ontario Plowmen's
Association, will write about
the visit of Canada's champion
plowmen to the British Isles,
Germany, Denmark and Swe-
den.
NEWQLTAY, Cornwall is
After midnight .and.we have little
time to spare if this:letter is to
Catch the oversean'xlane and our
"deadlines.. in Canada. .
We have just come from the
banquet of • the West ..of. England
;Championship • plowing match
which was 'held 'a few miles from
here today.
The banquet ended in a per-
„penal triumph for Gene Timbers,
:bur 48.-year,-old champion .:horse
plowman from Out. He
carved another 'notch' in his .plow
shalt by winning the open - class
:for under 21s in today's tour-
The winners were announc-
,ed toward the _end of the banquet,
which was attended by some
plowmen and West .Of England
farmers.
The match, at Newlyn East, was
held under idealg-conditiona; the
weather was springlike and ;the
ground goad, It attracted a large
entry.
For the moment that. is all on
our first venture. into cdmpeti-
tions on this sic% pf the. Atlantic
this year. We are now all look-
ing forward to the International
match at Belfast next jacinth, I
will tell you more about today's
.exciting events Lin my next letter.
In the meantime I want to bring
you up-.to-date on the' rest of our
tour of Europe.
In my last letter I promised to
tell you about the two vastly
different farms we visited in
Denmark. We, I should explain,
ore .4ugerie„ Norman Tyndall, the
champion tractor plowman and
myself, John Carroll.
Our visit to, these farms was
for all of us the agricultural high-
light of the Danish tour, The
farms were more. than.,ordinarily
interesting because they tended
to show both tolls of the Seale 111
Danish agriculture.
Qf the 210,090 farm holdings in
Denmark about half are from one
and a half to 25 aeres iii, sieb
and Only another 4,500 are of 10i;
acres or more. The balance var-
ies between 25 acres to 100 acres.
There is very little bush or
wasteland so that in, most cases
the total area is arable. Both
fag.= we visited Were above the average size.
The first was owned by an
extremely well-to-do couple, Mr,
and Mrs. P. Sorge Kastberg. Their
estate ran to just over 1,500 acres,
valued at between $30o to $400 an
acre, or something near half a
million dollars.
Despite his wealth and the size
of his farm, Mr. Kastberg is not
an absentee farmer by any means,
Not once did he call upon his •
agent or foreman to answer ques-
tions, but enthusiastically ex-
plained the farm's operations to
us, There was no doubt who was
the active master of the Kastberg
farm.
Mr. Kastberg has almost com-
pletely mechanized his farm. His
elaborate horse stables now house
only two animals, one a Shetland
pony, His pre-war 32 draft ani-,
mall have been replaced.by five
tractors and three self-propelled
combines. Other machinery on
the farm includes the latest
equipment in sugar beet farming
arid elevators for passing grass
and sugar beet tops Into silos.
He has one of the finest seed-
cleaning plants I have ever seen,
It has two clivisionsz the Brat to
dry and clean grain as it is har-
vested, and the other to Clean
small seeds.
Custein cleaning of small seeds
is done in winter, and this in-
genious Dane even makes use of
the chaff and cleanings. He blows
it through a pipe about 1.00 yards
long to the furnace which heats
the estate castle.
° Nothing short of castle can ,de=
scribe the beautiful Kastberg
home. Laid out in the familiar
European courtyard style,, it was
first built in 1748, and 'is Still
standing as proud as it was the
day those 18th Century 'stone-
masons completed it.
The Kastber,gs run a mixed
farm, supporting.100 milking
cows, 120 other cattle and-until
they were sold earlier this year
--,400 hogs. There are 200 acres
in rape-still green when we Saw
it-the seed of 'which Is pressed
for oil. There are 80 acres of
beets for sugar and another 80
acres tfor feed. Mr. Kastberg
estimated his wheat yielded 32
times seed sown, and other grains
yieldes 36 times seed grown. This
indicates geed land-and more
important, good farming,
'Erik Larsen, our next host,
dressed and looked like a young
executive, but he was farmer
through and through. He rents
his 90-acre, farm from his father;
paying $2,000 annually for land,
stock and implement. In addi-
tion he pays $1,000 in taxes.
What the Larsen farm lacks in
size it makes up In efficiency,
planning and equipment. We mar-
velled at the large well-equipped
buildings; the main barn is 100
feet long with' a 50‘.foot T-ex-
tension. It is all tile-roofed. -
Every rod of the Larsen farm
is put to work. It supports 20
milk cows and an equal number
of young cattle. One hundred
bacon hogs had been marketed
in the past year. There' are seven
acres under wheat, five acres of
sugar beet, and two and one half
acres of sugar beet seed.
Larsen keeps two men on a
yearly basis-against 14 on the
Kastberg estate--a cow-man and
a field operator. Their wages
average about,,$50 a month, with
cottage supplied. The overhead
and labor bill seemed high to us
for a 90-acre homestead, but Mr.
Larsen said he made a good pro-
fit on his operations last year.
His profit may not be so high
this year for his cattle contracted
the dread foot-and-mouth disease,
which hit about 15 per cent .011
the, Danish herds. Serum was
supplied by the :government and
aPpears to have checked the epi-
delnic, for the last count report-
ed only 80 new cases •compared
with 400 a day at the peak about
five weeks ago.
While the Danes are mechaniz-
ing as rapidly as possible, they
have less than 30,900 tractors on
farms,: aild,ornei. are ,commonly
used, !the Most* general being the
Jutland breed. On some small
kolilings we saw a' Norwegian
type, about the size of Welsh
ponies. ' -

We immediately enteredfsa rotirid

a press conference. The 'interest

Canada continues to amaze us.

The days in Sweden were short,
for darkness came on about 4
p.m. and it was still dark at 9
a.m. in dull "weather. This is. not
surprising when it is remeinbered
that Steekholmt.is on a latitude
of 59 compared to Toronto's 43

adian map, Stockholm would be
about 'the middle of. Hudson,Eay.
Our jaunt' into Euope has giv-
en us many a chuckle, trying to
adjust to % Strange facilities and
new customs. All European Weis
ask guests to leave footwear out-
side the door for cleaning over-
night. Since we are travelling
light with only one pair each,
we have• been afraid to, take ad-
vantage of this. One night- at 2
a,m.-I was awakened, with the
thought we were being burgled.
It was only the frustrated shoe

a bath. In London ,it • was six

chance for a full stretch since
swimming in the "crick". In
Hamburg 'we had a ilian-sized

in Stockholm the bath resembled
a milk cooling vat, and in Cop-
enhagen it was a sit-down tub
shaped like a chair. An extrem-
