In addition to “Millhjlls Ransom” an outstanding Aberdeen Angus bull, A number of contributions to the purchasing fund have been made in Scotland by Scotsmen interested in the promotion of live stock, and great interest has been shown by Canadian business men supporting this venture.

McLean for the Canada Packers, Colonel Harry Magee for the T. Eaton COmpany, Mr. C. L. Burton for the Robert Simpson Company, Mr. Jos. E.

The purchase of som” will not cost Treasury anything. “Millhflls Ransom” brought 2900 guineas, which is- 300 guineas below last year’s top price. The United States and Canada have been frequent buyers at this sale, and on this occasion {he Honourable Dunâ€" can Marshall purchased for the On- tario Agricultural College the Cham- pion Bull of the sale. A few weeks ago Hon. Duncan Marshall made another notable pur- chase which it is hoped will make an- other valuable addition to the breed- ing sires of Ontario. This time Mr. Marshall purchased a fine Shorthorn bull at the world’s greatest Short- horn sale at Perth, Scotland. This sale annually attracts buyers from all parts of the world. Mr. James McLean of Richmond Hill, known throughout Ontario as an outstanding judge of good horses, recently visited the Ontario Agricul- tural College farm at Guelph and in commenting on the stock there was loud in his praise of the Clydesdale stallion purchased for the college last year by Hon. Duncan Marshall, Min- ister of Agriculture. He is a splen- did horse, said Mr. McLean, and one that should take first prize in any show ring in this country. The sire bought in the old land by Mr. Mar- shall is “Craige Realization” and he is a fine type of horse and horsemen who have_seen him are delighted that such a. fine speciman is available to the breeders of Ontario horses.

Outstanding specimens of various breeds of sheep, now used for class room purposes, will be purchased in the near future. An Ayrshire bull, the gift of the Honourable Senator Hank O’Connor, is now at Guelph, and it is the inten- tion of the Minister to improve the dairy breeds already at the College. A Dairy Shorthorn‘ herd of excel- lent animals has been procured for the farm at New Liskeard. Some good Ayrshires and H01- steins, together with the addition of some Jerseys, will be secured for the School at Kemptville. Choice Aberdeen Angus females have been purchased, also a very good bull, and a high-class Hereford bull has been secured to head the herd. The Honourable Mr. Marshall cables that the bulls he has secured will be a‘ wonderful addition to the Shorthoms in Ontario. This bull at the Ontario Agricul- tural College will be available to breeders in the Province for limited use and it is hoped that in this way more rapid stock improvement can be promoted by the breeding of good sires in a number of herds.

I NEW FACTORY STILL A POSSIBILITY ’ Reeve J. A. Greene was this week in to’uch with the manufacturer who for some time has! been negotiating for the location of a factory here. The proprietor of the firm stated to Mr. Greene that the season was rather backward which was some- what delaying- the decision but that he was as yet undecided as to the advisability of making the move. However, he assured Mr. Greene that should he make the move he certain- ly would come to Richmond Hill. Those-who had the privilege of be« ing the audience Tuesday evening will never forget what a revelation this program was, nor will they for- get that it was through the zeal and sympathy of Mr. Mathews that such‘ an evening was possible.

Little, Vice-President of the Home and School Club, presided.

One of the other m‘usic appreciation films show- ed in a wonderftu simple and graphic way the nature and sources of sound waves, and the relation be- tween pitch and vibration frequency. The pictures shown included one showing the life history of the frog, in all stages of development, and an- other showed the dispersal and ger- mination of seeds. Four other films had to do with music appreciation, two dealing in tum-with the music and life: of Carrie Jacobs Bond and Stephen Foster. At the regular meeting of the Home and School Club held Tuesday eve- ning Mr. C. Mathews delighted the members with a showing of several talking films of the type used in schools for educational purposes to supplement the usual teaching meth- ods.
