Farm Service News, a monthly publication of the Agricultural Division of the B.C. Ele€tric Rly. Co. Ltd., makes a point of listing installations of farm electrical equipment and in the current is- Sue almost half of the 20 installa- tions reported have been made on M-S-A farms. The local ones are described as follows: Harry Stewart, Sumas has re- cently constructed a silage convey- or which is powered by a two- horsepower electric motor, The cost of silo filling is greatly re- duced per ton. E. Norrish, T. Lancaster and L. Sparrow, all of Matsqui, have fur- ther electrified their farming op- erations with the addition of pipe- line electric milkers. The labor problem is steadily being eliminat- ed with complete farm electrifica- tion. E. Brogaard of Sumas is well Prepared for receiving full value from the season's over-cured hay by equipping his farm with a hay chopper, conveniently powered by a one-horsepower electric motor. This method of feeding will carry more cows per ton. “Beating Bacteria” is the next step for the modern dairynien. A. Clausen of Abbotsford is doing this the efficient way with instal- lations of the handy dairy Elec- tropail. R. Bawtinheimer, Riverside road Matsqui, is relying on electric power for his full farm operations. As well as a five-horsepowe: mot- or for grinding his feed, he has recently added a pipeline milker for his fast-growing Guernsey herd. M. Smith, on the Bates road, Matsqui, has recently had power extended to his farm, and finds that electricity about the farm is a@ real service. L. Beharrell of Matsqui has ‘suc- cessfully raised a number of thrifty hog litters during the damp win- ter months with the aid of elec- tric pig brooders. These were found to be so handy and worth- while that Mr. Beharrell plans on using more. LIVE STOCK OUTPUT INCREASES IN CANADA DURING PAST YEAR Live stock production in Canada generally has been increasing, with the most substantial increase oc- curring in ‘the case of hogs, states the recent issue of The Current Review of Agricultural Condition in Canada. The relatively unfavy- ourable hog-feed ratio which exist- ed during the fall and winter of 1940-41 resulted in some curtail- ment in production in eastern Can- ada, but the rapid rise in hog prices during the summer of 1941 has restored the feeding ratios to favourable levels and further in- creases in output are anticipated. Cattle production has also been increasing on a moderate Sealé for Some years and marketings are Tunning about 6 per cent above those of a year earlier, Marketing of sheep and lambs have also been slightly higher in 1941 than during the corresponding period of 1940.
