Tell by mtsthod of kill
Was itCoyotes or dogs
Township livestock evaluators
from three counties were told
Monday hour --to- -tell whether
sheep have'been killed by coyotes
or dogs.
The more than 40 evalutor5
from Huron. Bruce and Perth
were told by Riry Bellinger, game
and fish enforcement officer for
the 11'ingham district of Natural
Resources that coyotes attack
sheep around the neck while dogs
assault Irian behind. -
Bt.*llinger addRI. "dogs usually'
chase animals.for fun by -biting at
their mels and are not looking for
.a meal' ++ e a coyote is looking
for fresh meat and usually strikes
inihe throat area of sheep.
Bellinger showed slides of
sheep which had been- attacked
by dogs and coyotes.
Under ti -new provincial
legislatton-whichtook effect
March 1. farmers with a loss of
livestock or poultry by animals of
any kind will be .reimbursed by
the township.
It a dog is responsible for
killing. compensation is made to
the tanner from township funds
rteceived•through dog taxes. If a
coyote is responsible. the farmer
still receives his money from the
,township. but the municipality in
return is compensated by the
Ontario'''Ministry of Agriculture.
In the past if valuators decided
a coyote was respopsible for
'damages. the farmer contacted
the .Ministry of Natural
Resources..
Bellinger saidJp
the towna
valuator srtll iecides on the value
of the livestock or poultry
destroyed with • the maximum
being 8100.in the (-ase of sheep.
The Resources Irfficial said it
was reasonably ea'y to' tell if
animals were killed by dogs or
coyotes by lookingu at the herds or
flocks.
If a coyote was responsible
likely only one animal would be
'killed and the balance not
disturbed. If dogs were the
culprits the balance of the flock
ould he worrietd_and probably
well spread around.
While wolves are not known to
he in the Wingham district
Bellinger said the coyote
population was reasonably high.
When asked about any programs
to cut down on the coyote
population he said "No. the
markets usually take tare of this.
The price for a c.sote pelt is S20

district in 1974, only seven at-
tacks on sheep were recorded.
This figure has been fairly
constant in recent years and does
not;fefleet the great increases -in
coyote attacks recorded in the
owen Sound district.
I t e never seen any poultry
ail acked by coyotes although
that's probably because they can
be carried 'away" added
Bellinger. -
He'said coyotes usually weigh
from -35 to 50 pounds while wolves
weigh as much as 90 pounds.
Coyotes may be identified by a
hourglass black rnarkon the tail.
Bellinger told the group that
rabies are not as prevalent in,
coyotes as in foxes.
Swine testing program
to include commercial
The Ontario swine per-
formance testing program under
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food is being
.expanded to include commercial
hercjs. When the program was
initiated in 1967 .only purebred
breeders were eligible to par-
ticipate.' In making the .an-
nouncement. the Honourable
William A. Stewart, Minister of
Agriculture and Food said: "The
expanded program will provide
1)ntario com rcial • • hog
producers enrol kd in the
program with the necessary
accurate performance in-
formation to make the selection
of superior animals."
Gilts in herds enrolled in the
program will be Tghed and
ultrasonically backfat probed on
'he farm , free of charge by
technicians of the Ministry of
:Agriculture and Food.
;Ir-P•erformance information
provided will include backfat
thickness and age adjusted to.200
pounds .Commercial producers
will be in a position to make
marked improvements in' the
carcass index and growthiness of
the market hogs by selecting
replacement gilts on the basis of
test results and by using superior
performance tested boars.
Herd owners making use of the
expanded program will be
required to provide an accurate
scale, identify gilts. individually
before weaning and record their
birth dates as well as the iden-
tification of both sire and dam.
"'Phis expanded Swine Testing
'Program is another step towards
further. in,proving the quality of
Ontario hogs which• presently

trex®meiins less weeds,
AAtrex Liquid me�ns less work.
When you put AAtrex Liquid to
7—yolk—on your weeds, you get more
than just AAtrex-clean cornfields.
You also get a new ease of
handling, convenience and even
greater efficiency. That's because
AAtrex Liquid is a liquid suspension
with no dust.
AAtrex Liquid gives you the un-
equalled AAtrex flexibility of applica-
tion: pre -plant, pre -emergent,
post -emergent. And AAtrex Liquid .
requires only 10 gal/acre for pre -
emergent control and 15 gal/acre
for post -emergent control. So you
can spray more acres per tankful
and take Tess trips to your
water source.
Plus, you can substitute liquid
fertilizer for water during pre -
emergent spraying and feed while
you weed.
Some carryover may be found
where spraying has overlapped.
but most crop rotation is unaffected
wheo AAtrex Liquid is used
according to label rates for most
weeds.
This is what makes AAtrex
Liquid your best choice for
controlling most annual
broadleaf weeds and
grasses. AAtrex Liquid. The easiest
way yet to grow maximum yield corn
