the tribune stouffville ont thursday may 22 1947 quarantine farm at ashburn is only one in canada one of the most unique farms in ontario and possibly in the whole of canada is located little more than eight miles north of whitby near ashburn and as such is little known by residents of the sur rounding territory this farm which is owned and operated by john miller is not unique because of its appearance or anything of that sort but simply because of the purpose it serves mr millers north farm as he that about 500 head of some of the men are kept constantly busy pro- termed it is the only quarantine finest cattle and sheep have passed farm for livestock imported from the british isles that there is in canada mr miller hastened to explain that his farm is not a quar antine station in the accepted sense of the word but a farm to which imported livestock are brought for a sixty day test period following heir departure from a government quarantine station at levis quebec mr miller said that most of the cattle and sheep which pass through his farm are destined for points in the united states particularly that part west of chicago and st louis since the farm was turned into a quarantine farm for the canadian government mr miller estimates 1 through the farm one of the most famous bulls on the xorth ameri can continent pittodire uprigh vhich was purchased for 360000 was at one time a guest at the farm prior to delivery to his new owner in kansas city although seemingly like a norma canadian farm in appearance mr miller stated that it was probably the most rigidly inspected farm anywhere in the country dominion government inspectors are liable to call at the farm at any time and consequently the stables and build ings are always kept in top condi tion when a complement of cattle arrives at the farm a staff of three e need licenselfor shooting at groundhog jviding for the new arrivals the cattle are subject to many ditferent tests for various diseases while they are at the farm and must be in first class condition before leav- ing the manv precautions taken ti ie ot lands and forest are to ensure that the cattle and uml office hds announced that

there were similar farms located in nova scotia and also in quebec but these have long since been disbanded and now there is only the miller farm to serve this purpose mr miller stated that the largest shipment of livestock ever to in vade his farm at one time was a contingent of some 75 head how- j hunters and anyone carrying a gun between now and the end of august to secure a license from the depart ment excluded under the ruling are farmers and members of their fam ilies shooting on their own prem ises under the new arrangement it is necessary for the person who wants to use a gun after the end of aug ust for anything except deer to buy another license if he wishes to secure the right to shoot deer in eason he must in turn buy still another c00 year tires ever he added that this was an nij w words if unusually large number for anv one awe to ul it itz v time but that a shipment now on us at au seasons of the the way to canada from scotland might possibly equal or better this record included in the shipment which is expected to reach the miller farm in about a months time will be twenty shetland ponies direct from the shetland islands the ponies are mr millers own property and he is particularly proud of the fact because this will mark the initial shipment of thoroughbred shetland ponies direct from the islands to reach canada in the last 19 years mr miller said that the last previ ous shipment of the ponies was made in 192s many of these ponies will find their way into the united states markets but mr miller felt sure that several of them would remain in canada he said that he has al ready received orders for the majority of them and that he doesnt expect to encounter diffi culties in finding purchasers for the remaining few this quarantine work is actually extra curricular so far as mr miller is concerned in addition to the quarantine farm he has a very large farm on which he raises many head of cattle and grows fine crops however he feels that the work he year he must be prepared to lay out three one dollar bills for three different licenses asked why the need for derivin revenue from these sources a spokesman for the department said it was to help defray the cost of carrying on the work of the depart ment this work includes restock ing of lakes and forests with wild life is doing with the imported cattle is a worthy undertaking and one
