There will also be a cheice of three Vâ€" type eightâ€"cylinder engines to meet the individual power reâ€" quirements of the (lght, medium and beavier duty models. Ford engineers explain that the automatic power pilot carbureâ€" tionâ€"ignition control on all enâ€" gines was designed to provide power with economy by metenni and firing the correct amount o fuel under varying loads without spark knock.. . A new deluxe cab is opuonal‘ equipment in the 1951 truck fleet. It is soundâ€"proofed with insulaâ€" tion and undercoating. The full width seat has foam rubber padâ€" ding under the cover.

The hybrids, whatever the percentages of domestic and buffalo bloz are termed "Cattaâ€" los". One great and continuing roblem in creating a Cattalo gn‘d of beef cattle is a lack of Mackenzie of the Range Experiâ€" ment Station at Manyberries, Alâ€" berta. He has found that this lack of male fertility persists in sucâ€" ceeding generations of hybrids. Experiments to date show that gven :nerl buffalo btc.::d i:lre- uced to a low percentage, only a few male Catuf(; are fertile. _ Most Satisfactory Cross _ Elrlg in the tests it was found that the most satisfactory cross resulted from the mating of a doâ€" mestic bull to a buffalo cow. In 1936 and the rollowi;xg years, doâ€" mestic sires of Aberdeenâ€"Angus, mestic sires of Aberdeenâ€"Angus, Shorthorn and Hereford breeds were used on 70 buffalo cows. The resulting hybrid heifers were then mated to domestic sires to give % domestic, % domestic and so on. Large numoers of bulls nave heen tested for tertilitwd only about 23 per cent have n found to be fertile. â€" o _ â€" The transfer of the Cattalo from the Buffalo National Park at Wainwright to the Range Experiâ€" ment Station at Manyberries, Alâ€" berta, started in the fall of 1940 when 72 head of calves were shirpq_i and it was completed this fall with the movement of the fall with the movement of the main herd of cows and calves to Manyberries. This change was made because the Department of National Defence required the land oocugied by the Cattalo at Wainwright and also because Manyberries offered greater faciâ€" lities for continuing the work of improving the new hybrids and comparing them with range Herefords. Th wr:ct“ f th, i ts e o of the experimen at_ lllnygernet is the same as originally conceived, which is to create a breed of beef cattle that will combine the buffalo‘s characâ€" teristics of thriftiness and hardiâ€" ness with the meatâ€"producing qualities of our domestic breeds.
