BRANCHES : BARRIE Inuence of Breeding` Improved breeding is urgently needed in dairy herds. Most dairy- men feed and house their "cattle in a manner that is worthy of much bet- ter cattle than they are keeping. Eicient cows, efficiently fed and housed, are the dairyman s economic salvation. The most successful llairy-men are `breeders and improvers - of dairy cattle. mu. ,.:1.....,. :.~ an cnrnn"o`rI+ Pom! DRS.

The leguminous material will tend to -correct the deciencies of the silage in dry matter, protein, and mineral constituents. nu r_,-;,___..._y.. ._,...1.4.... . .-. .

This is one reason why some pure-`bred breeders shun cow-i testing associations. They are afraid of their record"-s; afraid some of their cows are not paying for their feed, or afraid some grade cow will step too fast for them. Turkeys Are Protable Turkey raising is not the difficult matter that rmany believe it to be, writes Mr. A. G. Taylor of the Poul- _ try Division, Dominion Experimental . Farms, keeping as I who itemizes the essentials to success in this line of poultry follows : Well-drained soil; free range, well-developed, healthy unrelated breeding stock, and palatable foods properly and regularly fed.

A paragraph in Schedule A. of the new Act denes the boundaries of the riding of South Simcoe as follows: To con- sist of the townships of Adjala, Essa, West Gwillimbury, Innisl and Tecumseth, and the towns of Allis- ton and the villages of Beeton, Bradford and Tottenahm. Thus the town of Alliston and the township of Essa have been Simcoe and added to `South Simcoe. The change will make quite a dier- ` ence in the voting strength of the two ridings. Formerly the west rid- ing had the greater number of voters on its lists, but now the south riding will have the lead. Ac- cording to the 1923 lists South Sim- eoe had 7,519 voters, while West Simcoe had 11,299. Alliston and Essa had a total of 2,832, which, added to the South riding, with now :1. 1n 0:1 4.1.,` ....o.`... nvul 1...... taken from West ' CIKHIUU IIU Dill: DUMUH IALIIII5, VVII/u uvvv rive it 10,351 voters, and leave the Nest riding with 8,467.

Bradbury had telephoned Ed. Smith the day before from Stayner asking him if he could get him some liquor if he called the next day. Thus it was that shortly after they register- ed at the Dominion House the next day Ed. Smith called the two spot- ` ters into the bar and sold them a . bottle of gin for $8.
