‘Colnaldian Cows Go to the Orient

There is a demand foigCanadian

dairy cows for Chins. The cows, forty a! which are at sea now, go to the Culty Dairy, Shanghai, where they will, no doubt, make a name for themselves. . Canadian cows are playing an in- creaslngly’ important part in supply" ing Chinese with good milk. The Chinese, says David Gibson. of the Culty Dairy, now on the Pacific Coast on a dairy tour, are becoming a milk drinking nation. “And when they do arrive. Canada won't be able t0 begin to supply the 800d cows they will want." '

The-cows in Shanghai get no p18- ture at all; it is high tribute to the constitution of our cows.that under those conditions they produce for an average of four years. Milk from Hol- steins, Jerseys and Ayrshire: is bulk- ed and pasteurized and retailed from Tickshaws for 25 cents per quart— Canadian cents and American Illllri-s-

Culty was an enterprising French barber who introduced into Shanghai the first pasteurizing equipment ever taken there. The response was such

' that now Culty's Dairy, with 300 odd

good cows and imported bulls for breeding, stands. on a site worth 540.000 per acre (mex) in _the French concession and has more orders than it can fill.

Feed and equipment, milking mach-

trates are shipped from Vancouver. CowsJreshening in September are preferred.

NOTES AI

PREVENTION 0F ACCIDENTS

Farm work is a succession of oper- ations always involving the liability to accidents. ‘The manufacturer has as far as humanly possible, devised various ssfetygusrds for the equip- ment he makes, but from the nature of the work, it will always be impor- tant for operators to exercise care in performing it. Mr. D. A. lviilligan of Illinois has, drawn up a list oi "safety first" insiructions which if followed out would help to reduce accident and injury. 4X) Don't walk behind horses when they are pulling hard. A single tree. trace, or double tree might break and strike the driver. p (Z) Dont‘ place yourself in such a

position when working on machinery that you would be injured if the hors- es moved. The most trusted horse might take a step. Only a second is required to drop the traces. (3) Don't rely on clutches while working on or around implements which are attached to or driven by a tracttor. Place the gear shift lever in neutral so if the clutch should en- gage no harm is" done. (4) Don't attempt to make adjust- ments on tractors while they are moving. You might lose your balance or slip. (5) Don't reach around moving powermechinery wearing gloves with large cuffs or with jacket or coat un- buttoned. (0) Don't reach across almoving saw or work around one with refuse ly- ing under your feet. (7) Don't stand in the line of move- ment of pulleys, wheels, etc. A wheel or belt might break or an‘ attachment might loosen and be thrown. -,(8) Don't operate high-speed emory wheels without n. shield over the emery wheel. Keep your eyes above the work being ground and wear gog- bles. (9) Don't stand beside or hold wire while it is being stretched. It might break.

NATIONAL DAIRY‘ COUNCIL ‘This organization-the sentry and spokesman of the dairy industry in

Canada-is appealing to the patrons of factories for financial aid to en- able it to carry out a bigger and broader programme.

Its appeal is based on what it has already done. It accomplished the outlawry of Cleo-margarine in 193; succeeded in getting all dairy products exempted from the Sales Tax; suc- cessfully reslsted. attempts to increase freight and express rates on milk and cream; secured exemption from stamp tax for milk cheques up to, $10 and in innumerable ways stood guard over the interests of factory patrons.

Its press articles. contributed monthly, reach 2,000,000 readers. Free literature on the food value of milk and dairy products, is distributed to 2,500 school teachers and 200 public health nurses. -

For funds to carry on this work the Council relies upon the contrib- utions of dairy firms and organiza- tions and its income last year was $13,775, whereas the total value of the industry it safeguards was approxim- ately $265,000,000.

This contribution is a very small percentage and might, with profit to all concerned, be doubled.

USE OF THE RADIO AT MILKING TIME

It is gravely asserted by some dairy- men in the United States, that the use of the radio at milking time has resulted in an appreciable increase in the milk ‘flow. The bovine is sup- Doscd to be happy, calm and contented when sprayed with tenor solos, jazz melodies and the like, and therefore more eiliciem in her efforts io pro- duce the lacieal fluid. So m. then, if we may believe it. the application of modern science is to the good; but there is a darker side to the picture Thedairymen of p New York state community demand that the town airport be abandoned because the whiz and whirr of the airplanes makes the cows discontented and theyshow their annoyance by cut,- ling down the milk supply by more Ithan 25 per cent. At present a com- Imittce is investigating the complaint,
