J. Gillis, Liberal, Yale, in the legislature Monday came out strongly in favor of pasteur- ization of milk. Hon. Dr,.K. C. MacDonald, minister of agricul- ture, said it would be impossible to bring in regulations enforcing pasteurization all over the proy- ince. Number Two— Cow-Testing Last week, a general outline was in progress in regard to a cow- testing association supervisor's work in a herd. He had finished testing the samples and now was ready to enter particulars of gach .cow's yield in the Herd Record Book. This book belongs to the dairyman and is left with him so that he may study the infortha- tion it contains. Besides crediting a cow with milk and butterfat she has produced, it is only right that some consideration should be ¢ en to the amount of feed she ha eaten. The supervisor therefore ob tains particulars of the ration by | watching them being fed and af- terwards weighing the ‘feeds that go to make up an ani- mal’s daily ration. In the herd record book is a page for every cow. Each month the actual weigh of milk produced during 24 hour is entered together with the test. was The Spirit of — The Pioneer Mother young.

Flames Anew Today Tak BACK to the old days—when Canada Think of the high courage, the indomitable will of those pioneer women. Within the stockade or in the open field, they toiled —yes, fought—by the side of their men for the safeguarding of everything they held dear. In the hearts of the women of Canada, this old spirit flames anew today! Gone are the heavy muskets, the log barricades—but the love of freedom, the stubborn resolve to win through at all costs — these things remain unchanged, unchangeable ! Grimly quenching their tears, mothers say “God bless you” to their fighting sons—everywhere young women are serving where duty calls—the women of Canada are bound together in one,common cause. fan ee revising. They know —these women of Canada—that every dollar loaned now means more tanks— more guns— more planes—more ships—more of everything which is needed to smash Hitlerism and bring Peace to all the family hearths of the world.

From these two items an estimate is computed for 30 or 31 days as the case may be, and filled in on the sheet. The total pounds of fat from date of freshing is also shown. The remaining portion of the sheet includes details of feed consumed. FEED RECORDS Some may think that this phase of the work is not so valuable; in fact, waste of time. This depends ae AEEy on the use each dairyman makes of this information. In the past. record making has oc- | casionally appeared so attractive |to some that profitable production has sometimes been lost sight of. This has rather encouraged the |idea that having cows on test is going to result in feeding them more grain than they can ‘use pro- fitably. FOR BEST RESULTS | To get the best returns from milking cows, it is essential ta know how much feed is required to produce 100 pounds of milk and one pound of butterfat, by each animal. Many years ago, in C.T.A. work, feeds were charged up against the cow on a dollar and cents basis of cost of production or market value. However, it was soon quite obvious that this me- thod did not give any useful or comparable information. In hav- ing a herd of cows on test the owner is interested in finding out each animal's ability to change large amounts of home grown feeds into milk, But the cost of growing or buying all or part of the ration will not have any bear- ing on a cow's inherited capacity 0 produce milk and fat. The work of providing a suitable ra- tion for the herd is the farmer’s problem and not directly re- lated to the producing ability of the herd. To the farmer it means an outlay of labor and cash but the ultimate cost of each separate feed in the ration does not fur- nish the cows with their ingred- ients for making milk at the same cost per pound for all feeds. And. furthermore, the cost of providing a suitable ration varies on every farm. FEED UNIT VALUES It is for this reason that we use the term ‘feed units’ when debit- ing a cow with food she has con- Sumed. A feed unit is the feeding value of one pound of wheat or barley, or its equivalent in other feeds in a Properly balanced ra- tion. Examples of some feed unit equivalents: oats, 1.2 pounds; molasses, 1.3 pounds; meal, .85 pounds; and mix- hay, 2.5 pounds; corn silage (mature, 7 pounds; mangels, 10 pounds. Or in other words, it definite amount of of feeds to equal the feeding value of one pound of Wheat or barley or one feed unit.

WHAT IT TAKE Therefore, the supervisor enters in the herd record book details concerning. milk and _ butterfat produced by each cow together with total amount of various feeds each one has consumed expressed in terms of feed units. Finally, the number of feed units required by each cow to produce a pound of butterfat is stated. Next week it hoped to discuss the monthly herd summary and show how it contains much val- uable and interesting information for every C.T.A. member. rations, cow MATSQUI TAKES 14-POINT LEAD IN PLAYOFFS The first game Valley Basketball took place Monday qui Hall between Matsqui A’s.
