There had been an incréase in herds under test irom 61 in 1921 to 190 in 1922: Mr. Reed deplored the fact that of 456,000 cows in the provinte only 6,000 were under test..

Last year Western Canada went unrepresented by any college team and the House of Macdonald, so prominently connected with the development of scientific agriculture in Canada for so many years, has generously offered and ar- ranged for adequate representation ol Western Canada if the dgricultural college desire to have their sfudents participate. _ To properly represent the great Canadian west®at Chicago, it was de- cided to have the most representative team possible and the elimination con- test is therefdre being arranged in order that the best team may be se- lected.

It is an easy matter to bring the animal to the ground by drawing tightly back wards on a rope thus applied.
