It is expected that dairy farmers will save untold thousands of dol lars every year by the scientific selection of bulls at an early date. The breeding value of bulls, whose blood strains affect milk produc tion as well as the butterfat con tent in milk, can now be determin ed more quickly than ever before by the application of this accurate advance data. This revolutionary development in dairy farming was announced by Henry Mosle, chairman of the re search committee of the Ayrshire Save Your Game! A famed Ayrshire cow, Iro quois Sally Winters, with owner Robert L. Knight, of Lippitt Farms, R. I., one of the na tion’s top dairy cattle farms. Knight can now forecast Sally’s annual milk yield on analysis of 50-70 day lactation figures by using the Ayrshire “factors” service. breeders’ association. Mosle, own* er of Fair Meadows farm, Litch field, Connecticut, made the an nouncement after the 1949 annual meeting of the research committee, at the headquarters of the Ayr shire breeders’ association in Brandon, Vermont* The accuracy of the statistical “factors” which forecast the an nual milk yield of Ayrshire cows was established after a year’s in tensive survey by Donald Trombly, head of the division of records of the Ayrshire breeders’ association. Approximately 500 Ayrshire herds in 40 states participated ip the sur vey, in order to insure a genuine cross-section in testing the “fac tors.” Each herd numbered from five to 125 cows. It was estab lished that the 50-70 day “factors” can determine a herd’s.annual milk yield with 99.25 per cent accuracy. Mosle stated that in order to give Ayrshire breeders the whole truth, and avoid misrepresentation of any nature, unselected data was used in checking the accuracy of the \factors.” In other words, the widespread practice of using select cows and bulls was avoided. The farmer can now decide whether or not to continue using a bull for breeding purposes eight months earlier than was heretofore possible. Untold thousands of dol lars will be saved by this practice. Furthermore, the use of the “fac tors” will enable the breeders to improve the genetic quality of the bulls in their herds more rapidly than ever before. This early build ing up of “blood” will result in in creased milk production with high er butterfat content. New Cattle Dock Shown here is a view of the recently-completed truck un loading dock for cattle at the Chicago stock yards as seen in full operation on opening day. The dock is the largest and most modern in the country. It has a capacity of 14 trucks at a time. Irrigation Given as Way To Prevent Frost Damages Irrigation is being cited as a practical and economical method of preventing frost damage to crops in addition to serving as a protec tion against dry weather. Strawberry growers in Michigan report that nearly 100 pCr cent suc cess against frost was realized on that crop when the crops were kept covered by sprinkler irrigation sys tems which were flsed last spring In the first test of the procedure. If you want to prevent waste on that hunting trip of yours this autumn, it would be wise to follow these directions issued by the U. S. forestry service: GO PREPARED—Take at least a hunting knife, belt-axe, 30 feet of Vi-inch rope, some twine, sev eral pieces of clean wiping cloth, red flagging and four muslin sacks —each large enough to hold a quarter of the animal you hope to get. A small meat saw and some black pepper will also come in handy. DRESSING OUT KILL—Tâg ani mal as soon as it is killed and do not destroy evidence of sex. Open carcass from crotch to throat. Turn animal downhill so it will bleed freely. Be careful not to puncture the intestines or the paunch. In all operations prevent hair from com> Don’t make a target out of yourself by carrying an ex posed hide or antlers. ing in contact with meat. Open chest cavity by spreading with a stick. Drain off blood and wipe with clean cloth. Do not wash with water. If the animal must be taken out of the woods before cooling and quartering, leave the liver and heart in the. body cavity. COOLING—Because the animal’s body heat causes rapid spoilage, your kill should be completely cooled as soon as possible, prefer ably by hanging in a shady place. QUARTERING — If state laws permit, it is best to quarter the animal before moving. The hide is worth saving and should be re moved in one piece if possible. Place quarters in clean muslin bags and hang in shade. In warm weather, hang out only at night and wrap meat up during the day. ALWAYS KEEP THE MEAT COOL. TRANSPORTATION — D o n ’ t make a target of yourself by car rying an exposed hide or antlers! Don’t transport the animal on an automobile fender next to a heated motor. Transportation is, of course, easier if it is possible to pack the animal from the woods in quarters on a horse or in a pack sack. STORAGE—Always unpack meat as soon as possible and store in a dry place. If weather permits, it should be allowed to “cure\ for about a week or 10 days before storage. A A A No value in dollars and cents can be attributed to the recreational values of the sport of fishing and bunting. The fact that 50,000 fishermen and 70,000 hunters annually take to the field with rod or gun is proof, how ever, that this type of recreation is considered valuable to a large seg ment of our population. A A A Picking Pheasants According to experts on the sub ject, many people who skin pheas ants are destroying the fine fla vor of this gafne birjl. Because of its tender skin, the pheasant is difficult to pick once it has become cold after shooting. They may be picked very easily without breaking the skin, however, by brushing off the feathers im mediately after the bird has been killed. In warm weather, the bird should be rough dressed in the field, and the cavity stuffed with coarse grass, comhusks or news papers to help the cooling-out pro cess. After picking and dressing, the birds should be dropped into indi vidual paper sacks before being placed in the hunting coat. Head and feet should always be left at tached in the field for identification. A A A Under a new law, effective July 1, New York state g a m e protectors alone may issue hunting licenses to minors under 17 seeking their first licenses and then only after the pro tector has schooled the applicant in the proper 'handling of firearms. A A A Adirondack Deer Deer hunting prospects for the fall of 1949 will be better in the Adirondacks than they were last year. In the Catskills there will be little change, with some counties improving, others declining. In the western counties where bucks and does were legal last fall, the deer population is sub stantially less than a year ago, but in the other counties of the region a general increase in num ber of deer will be evident Good-Looking Desk Matches Shelf Units 1 *) !
