72nd Year No. 14 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 14th, 1938 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U. S. A. Deficiency in Mineral Food for Cattle Held at Grafton Farmers Mr. G. R. Green, Agricultural Representative at Woodstock, who during the past two years has devoted a lot of time to the study of mineral deficiency problems in cattle, spoke at largely attended meetings of farmers at Grafton and Camphellford on the results of work carried on in Oxford .County on this subject. Mr. Green stated that following two years of extreme drouth in Oxford County, farmers in large numibers came to his office and complained that their battle were not doiing well. They were rough and dry in the hair, in appearance, weak in the legs. On further examin-ation it was found many of these cattle were extremely low in the tatter-fat test at the local cheese factory and the cheesemaker complained it took an abnormally large amount of andife to make a pound of cheese. As a test, Mr. Green prepared a cafeteria box with five compartments and placed in separate compartments a quantity of hydrated lime, ground limestone rock, steamed bone meal, I On Wednesday afternoon, April 6th, H938, a very pretty wedding took place in Salem United Church, when Dorothy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blyth, was united in the happy bonds of matrimony to Allen Duffy, son of ftfir. and Mrs. A. Duffy, Brighton, by Rev. Roy Rickard. The wedding mach was played by Mrs. W. Onyon, and an appropriate solo was sung by Mrs. W. Heekbert. The bride was giiven away by her fath-er, and she was attended by her I borne sisters, Mrs. A. Anderson, as Matron of Honour, and Margaret, Jean and Patricia as bridesmaids. The bridegroom was attended by his brother Claude, as best man. The bride looked very charming in a gown of white taffeta with a veil ©what liame and ' of sheer aet an<] a cornet of orange blossoms. She carriea a bouquet of sweetheart roses and maiden hair fern. Mrs. Anderson wore a gown of red molire and carried a bouquet of daffodills and maiden hair fern. Margaret and Jean wore gowns of orchid and pink chiffon. Patricia wore a dress of pink moire, and all carried bouquets of daffodills with maiden hair fern. The ushers were John Blyth, broth-of the bride, and Messrs. Clarke Rev. P. W. Roberts Bereaved Loved Saviour of the World News leached us of the death of a the youngest brother of the Rev. PM W. Roberts, at his home jn Cranbrook, j B.C., on Saturday, April 2nd, 1938,' after only a short illness. Quite well,! early in the week he caught coldf which developed into pneumonia. | Mrs. D. Russell Smith Friends and Col- ; Wallace, Allen Irwin, Andrew Andei son, and Ellwood Taylor, brothers-in-law of the bride. There was qu'te a large attendance at the Church. After the ceremony there was a reception at the home of the bride's parents. A very fine repast was much enjoyed by all present . At night many friends arrived to honour the new married couple and some fine tokens of their good-will were presented to the happy couple. A very pleasant evening ended in the wee sma' hours of the morning with the singing of Auld Lang Syne. The newly weds then started on their honeymoon. Among the places they intended visiting were Sault Ste, Manie. Callander and Detroit. On their return they will reside in Brigh- i phosiphate and ashes. The box was first taken to a farm where there were 28 cows, .and placed in the yard about 300 feet from the cows. Several of the cows immediately went to the box and after sniffing each ingredient started to .eat either the bone meal or the di-sodium phosiphate. The cow which looked the worst and had the lowest butterfat test got to the box first and stayed the longest. This was tried on three separate herds with the same results in each case. Tile following year, all the herds in one cheese factory wete placed ori the test and butterfat tests were ■made of each cow's milk every ten days during the summer. At the beginning of the test the large majority of cows had a butterfat test of less than 33 per cent and many cows increased more nan 1 per- cent in butterfat during the season. At the same time the cows became brighter in the eyes, the hair became soft and - glossy, the skin became loose and <?uide book now beingjn-epared pliable, and according to Mr. Green many of the animals would not be ..recognized as the same cows. Tests were also made of the hay and pasture plants on these farina - *»d iiw-every cas*> the calcium ./inn phosphorus content of the plants were below normal, particularly plants taken from; low lying fields.
