The remedy is trap- ping in the winter season. Jack Min- er, by a trapiof his own invention. captured them by the hundred Js.ck’s trap is a large structure oi’ chicken- wire and iron-pipe, but he says an effective trap may be constructed of old fishing net and poles, at a cost of five dollars. and he is prepared to send the plan of it to anyone inter- ested. ' ` ' ' This then, is the means ofkeeping down the numbers of this destructive bird. in the _wintel tune: in the spring the problem is different. Then the crows are dispersed throughout the length and breadth of the land; food is plentiful-especially the eggs and young of other birds-'and undéi-such conditions 'trapping is impossible. - However, the apathy of the Zenerai 1 Public, and those who should be in- terested ln the preservation of our bird life, is so great' that I rig not is possibly too late. In a previous article a way was laid IIHPTOVS his 'herd by the purchase of two or more heifer calves--and I purpose in this article to show how he can still improve at a small emi, namely: by the keeping of records of all the herd over a period of years, .so that the unprofitable cow may be eliminated, and as like begets like, by keeping only the helfers of the years, increase the revenue from his herd by at least one third, which would be almost clear profit. This cow-testing work is absolutely assen- tial if we are going to build up nigh producing grade and pure bred herds in Prince Edward Island. And, af- ter all,‘ we should be interested and extremely anxious 'lo improve our herds, because a proper system 01 farming is really dependent on our the habit, and_ take the smali_ amount of time necessary to keep individual' records. 'rod many low producing cows are~to be' found in the average herd in f-his Province. andyet a great P use the means at hand to improve their conditions, notwithstanding both local and federal department, are keeping records, but the percent. age of the total is small, and they test. ’ If we could have in this Province twenty percent or one-fifth of our milk cows under systematic test in place oi' about one half of one per ccnt, as at present, I would not doubt for one moment but that the produc- tion of our cows could be increased by onethird in five years. It would mean much to the dairy lndustry in particular. and‘ in every branch of business in the Province. The rev- enues from the farm would be in- crested by many thousands of. dol- lars and it would be accomplished with very little extra expense, be- cause there wouldnot necessarily be any increlsrin the number of dairy cattle kept on each farm. Splendid results have been accom- plished by farmers'of` other provinces in ldlbtinz a rood cow-testing sy- stem and I-feel that wefshouid be able to dolikewise and I would like toseerslanddairymenntbehinda progressive system for this Province. It seems to me that, until our dairy- men organise themsylvca for 'the'pur- pose of Individual cow-testing' with the aim for-better production. this work will never be permanent enough to give the but results.
