Farming 107 Years Ago Recalled In Old Report

Some Rules On Tractors

Keep the following rules in mind to avoid overturning the tractor.

1. Stay at a safe distance from ditch and creek banks which might cave in, and be very care- ful when driving along steep slopes.

2. Speeds exceeding 41/2 mph in

tions of seeds in most instances below cost and charges.__

Additional loss is frequently sus- tained on the importation of ag- ricultural implements for pat - terns, which seldom if ever, rea-

On-e of the main factors in the increased number of clubs in the province is the greater interest being shown by adults in 4-H work. Every club had a Club Leader. These Leaders may be a parent of one of the club mem- bers, a former club member. or a public spirited interested adult in the community. These Club Leaders spend many hours help- ing the club members in var- ious ways and if it were -not for the Leader many of our 4-H clubs would cease to function.

Careless Buying ‘ Allabove with famous Fergu-

Breeds Trouble A

_ Careless buying of livestock is probably the most important in- hibiting influence against animal disease control. With prevention considered as the first line of de- fence, the careful stockman aims to determine just what he brings home in his truck—and, after taking all possible precautions to purchase disease,-free animals, he goes further and puts them through an isolation or quaran- tine period before they are per- mitted to associate with the heal- thy animals on the farm.

System Is Versatile

The rigid frame system can be applied -to almost any type of buildingl Be- cause such buildings are fairly simple to pre-cut and are quickly erected, the method is particularly favored by farmers. Hundreds of rigid frame poultry houses have been built, and the idea has been utilized for many other farm structures in clu din g machine sheds, livestock barns, hog houses, cattle sheds, and fruit stor- age warehouses.
