interment on saturday afternoon november 2s public service in christ church anglican stouff ville at 2 pm to be followed by interment at brougham cemetery hundreds of cattle of prominent dairy farmers in the county of on tario have been destroyed under regulations in the last four weeks as government inspectors prepare to establish this county as one of the registered counties or restricted areas for cattle in the province according to the whitby gazette and chronicle the cleanup campaign waged against tb infected cattle and ad vocated by a majority of county farmers has resulted in the great est wholesale slaughtering of cattle iu the annals of ontario county dairy farmers the value of the cattle that have had to be destroyed iu ontario county because of t b infection runs into thousands of dollars ac cording to figures given tho gazette and chronicle it will not be a total loss to farmers however since tho government gives compensation up to as high as 60 for an animal tha has been ordered killed in the four weeks preceding november 15 according to dr wil liam tennant oshawa veterinary there have been tested for t b ontario county a total of 6211 head of cattle of this number it has been found that 1146 cattle were found to be infected with tb the pecent- age of cattle in ontario county which have been found to be tb infected is 18 ii per cent 1141 cattle dpstroyed for the 1140 head of cattle de stroyed the owners will receive compensation to the extent of 35- 617 this may not be as much as they would have received if the cat tle were not affected since many of the owners valued their cattle a9 high as from 100 to 150 a head when the cattle have been de clared tb infected following an intradermil test they are taken to toronto to be killed in an abittoir under the supervision of a qualified veterinary if the carcass as well ab the bones of the animal is found in- rected the animal is totally destroy ed and the farmer gets as little as 535 for the animal if only tho bones are infected then the carcass is sold and the proceeds giveu to the farmer from whom the animal was taken restricted area york ontario northumberland halton durham and peel are the counties in which a restricted area is being set up ontario county dairy farmers showed themselves as being in favour of joining the re stricted area some mouths ago with the loss of so many cattle following the tests many of the farmers are said to be not as friendly to the idea as they first were it is pointed out however that the killings will be best in the long run as it will clear the county of tb cattle and make it better for all concerned dairy farmers in the immediate vicinity of oshawa have not been hit as hard as other centres more distant in the pickering area many farmers have had their entire herds of cattle taken away to lie killed this would mean anywhere from 10 to 3 5 head of cattle production blamed the cause of the tb is explained by some farmers as forcing tho cat tle to high production which they are unable to continue for a long period the cows get run down just like a human being would the idea of making ontario county a restricted area is a little premature stated dr shirley local veterinary foundations of disease is laid at birth the government should have gone around some time ago and educated the farmers to keep stables clean in which the cat tle are giving birth dr shirley recommended a post mortem examination of the cattle in order to see that the initial test for tb infection was ok a big shortage iu dairy cattle in this district was predicted following tho completion of the cleanup campaign reports the whitby paper tokyos modern stores impresses local missionary john crook temporary pastor in stouffvule landed safely at chine

someone came with the joykilliug news that the ship was going to remain at anchor in the harbour because of a threatening typhoon well that was all right because most of the passen gers had never seen one and were anxious to see it come we waited all day but no typhoon showed up all we got was the tail end and we christians were thankful that was all because they are dreadful storms later we heard that a small boat sank off the korean coast and fifty people lost their lives we managed to dock at six and after dinner took an electric train and went for a trip to tokyo a journey of twenty miles
