chemical fodder enriches milk invention of finn enables dairymen to keep up standard watering cows a fine british plane a british airliner that for speed sales to empire lands in november increase 35 per cent britain leads way montreal getting cows to produce summer milk in winter is now occupying the attention of dairymen on this continent largely because a finn has developed a chemical that preserves in fodder the juices and food values it re tained when cut and the topic is of particular interest in montreal re cently because of the presence in the city of g l bosnqvist a finn ish farmer and agriculturist summer milk is richer in vitamins and other healthgiving body-build- ing characteristics the thing to do is to preserve those qualities in the fodder thus enabling milch cows to give a milk that approximates their summer milk this is the gist of jlr iosenqvists remarks he pays tribute to a i virtanen inventor of the socalled a i v method of treating fodder chemically thus keeping its summer nutrition pre served intact for winter cattle con sumption mr koscnqvist has visit ed agriculturalists from british col umbia to xova stotia like finland he claimed that eastern canada particularly the rural districts was tery like finland in many ways the soil farms and people even the crops grown were quite similar to those of his homeland on the baltic sea slightly more vain fails during the year in finland than in canada canadian summers are a little longer he thought his attention had been drawn to nn item which had appeared relative to experiments which were being started at the university of wiscon sin at madison aimed at producing summer milk in winter through preserving green fodder for winter feeding of milch cows it was sug gested that the wisconsin agricult ural chemists and animal husband men were attempting to improve on the famous method of pro a i virtanen of finland by using molas ses for mixing with the green fodder to overcome disadvantages of labor equipment costs and unpalatabiiity mr rosenqvist who is greatly in terested in prof virtanens method of preservation and is in fact visit ing canada in order to interest can adian farmers in its graater use felt that the wisconsin scientists were quite unfair in their judgment of the a i v method as it is known throughout europe and nor th america he pointed out that the molasses method of retaining the vitamin rich substances which made eummer grass more nutritive than dried hay had been used in ger many as long as 15 years ago and the same german scientists who had invented the method were now turn ing to the a i v mineral acid method of fodder preservation lest labor required from his observations in canada and the united states mr rosen- qvist claimed that th finnish me thod required less labor and equip ment than the molasses method and the total cost was much less he was able to prove that aiv fod der was not unpalatable from per sonal experience as his own herd of 40 milch cows had subsided on it for more than four years now and were producing more and better milk than ever before he bore witness that a great majority of the fanners in low you js 1

source that is not stated denouncing the practice of mutilating the show horse by setting up his tail in about as un natural a position as mans foolish brain could devise according to this article a horse so treated has to endure a surgica operation sometimes several of them the muscles that control the movement of the tail are cut and the tail is bound into an unnatural position until it heals unless it perfectly straight it must be brok en again and the process repeated the practice is called inhuman and barbarous and our correspondent declares these who submit horses to such cruelties are no better than savages asked by the journal for an op inion on the matter a horseowner who has taken many prizes at shows has this to say the facts are about as stated in the old days almost every good- looking carriage horse was treated in some such manner as an arched tail was considered very fine the controversy is as old as horses and crops up every now and again today the practice is wholly con fined to horses kept for show pur poses only and at that only those horses which appear at the very best the two engines will be onlv about s00 the famous american douglas cruising at about

merely promises to pay steadily declined in value until in 1781 a silver dollar was worth 100 paper dollars or continentals and it was at that ratio of 100 to one that the government redeemed them

working under pressure of up to 4500 pounds to the square inch has been provided for applying the necessary load to specimen walls and columns while they are being tested the increasing financial toll
