Several -factors combi_ned account for this decrease. `The Montreal ty- phoid epidemic with its consequent embargo upon milk and cream ex- port to the `United States caused a. large cut in these classes. Then. too, the comparative depression tin dairy products following the British strike led many d-airymen to reduce their herds: and following upon this came the demand for cattle for t'he U..S. During 1927 between 50,000 and 75.000 cows were shipped out of -on- tario alone. Add to this the loss from '1`.B. testing in the ac-credited herds and restricted areas, and the net result must be a considerable reduction in the possible production. ~_r t,in cash.. ` `x. i zl In picking birds for the breeding - pen it is advisableto use nothing 1` laying less than a two-ounce egg, 1. and the male should certainly come Itrom a large egg st-rain. says Geo. ;Robertson of the -Central Experi- : mental "Farm, Ottawa.
