Regular steer feeders hi Durham are purchasing feeder cattle at from $4.24 to $5.00 per cwt. This price is considered out of line but they must have stock to feed the large supply of 'eed which most of them have on hand. Purchases of feeders, how- ever, will not be more than 00%a or 1937.

The stork are allowed the run of many wo0810ts, lIlany farms are without a woodlot to. day because former owners Pas- lurned the woodlnt and it is a sure prophesy to Crake that many more farms will be witntitr wocdlots soon as in many sections 75% of the woodlots are pastured. T:1e stock browse the seedlings year and as a result there are uL, saplings and small trees to tit: o the place of the trees that are cut or fail as a result of decay, A woodlot without young growth is like a community of old peo'.te; it will die out. Pastuitng favors in- ferior species usually as stock will leave iron wood and cedar and browse off all the valuable maple, beech, white ash and oak. A woodlot has a definite place in the economic set-up of a farm as it provides cheap fuel and tim- ber, Also it is accepted as a fact that there should be a percentage of an agricultural country in woodlands. because if there is not there Is sure to be riscomforts ant financial losses when the land is largely cleared. The first decision on the part of the owner is to decide ou the part to be left in coodland, The type of soil will be given consideration as swamps, sand, shallow soil and steep hillsides should usually be growing trees as their value for cropping and pasture is negligible. Another question that many own- ers will have to answer is, should line agricultural land be left to grow trees? The answer to this Question has 0fteu been, no, but today many owners envy their neighbors with their woodlots. They realize that it would have been a better policy if all farms had reserved 5-10 acres at least as a woodlot in order to provide fuel, as windbreaks fo, agricul- tual crops, as natural reservoirs for springs, and as a help. to pre- vent floods and to beautify the countryside. Suggestions on agement. 1. Fence the stock from the area that is to be lett in woods, The trees will provide seed that will fall to the ground, and soon there will be thousands of seedlings.. Rcorestatdon by nature is much crheaper and more sure than by planting. 2. Secure Suelwood by cutting defective trees, and thinning sec- ond eaand growth stands, 3. Reserve the healthy 4 -inch to 10 -inch trees as they are ones that will grow the maximum growth of wood during the next fifty years. rather than the sop- lings and old mature trees, 4. Utilize trees before decay starts. as the decay lowers the qualtly of the wood and thus re- duces the financial returns from the woodlot. 5, Tne reprocinc0ion of the more valua141e species should be seem'• ed if possible and ,this object may be obtained by cutting the inferior species and leaving some of the more valuable ones to seed up open- Reliecttng an increased and healthy interest in horse breed - lag In Ontario, 54 boys, members .2 27 foal clubs 10 sixteen coua- te', h::ve entered• the horsemanj t. le and colt competitions at the Winter Fair, Toronto.

Sleek new body lines highlight a wide range of models in both sarins, which are now in production at the General Motors factories in Oshawa. and Regina, and will shortly be in all dealers' showrooms across Canada. Vadua're Gearshiff One of the most notable recent contributions to the cause of safe driving. Chevrolet's new vactilun- ass.ist gearshift is now optional on all models at slight extra ens2. Mounted ou the steering column, its control handle can be manipul- ated effortlessly without removing either hand entirely from the steer- ing wheel, dt is claimed that eighty per cent of the operating effort is vrovided by the vacuum mechanism, yet simple though the gearshifting becomes, its looatiou makes it virtually impossible for a passenger to move the gears, For additional safety in the dtrlver's seat, the independent mechanical emergency brake anter! 20m7p1en1eets the 11yd eche! service brakes has been moved off the floor and under the Cowl to the left of the steering wheel, where it is reudlly accessible end yet out of tine way.

The new double acting hydraulic shock absorbers, of the end-to-end type, are another major faction in the smooth ride of the 1939 Masten' 1)0 Luxe Chevrolet. Featured on the Master 55 series is the Pulman ride. Remarkable smoothness is sate so be achieved by the use of longer, lower -rate front springs, shackled at the front; aeroplane type shock absorb- ers, cradle- mounted at the front and double-acting parallel -type shock absorbers at the rear, Another factor in the notably balanced 'pulman ride', is that the front and rear springs are almost equal in rate of d.efiectton-125 pounds at the front and 125 pounds' at the rear. • ole The Engine. ere featured by increased wind- shield area, relocation of instru- ments and controls, and new colors and textures of upholstery.
