It has to do with our very existence — the production of food and conservation ^ of the soil. Farmers have been regarded with ^ood-natured tolerance by city dwellers as being, merely an incident in the national life, but the increasing cost of the actual necessities is attracting attention to the fact that our fields must be tilled, our cows must be milked and many other details relating to food production accomplished every day, whereby the world's population may be fed. Generations of farmers have patiently worked from dawn until SHearts delight Dxirm . Qhazy.Ns^york. late at ni^t producing food for Kumanity, and they are obliged by precedent and force of circumstance to dispose of tKeir products for mucK lower prices tKan conditions warrant; therefore in attempting to obtain a comfortable livelihood the farmers have been constrained to steadily impoverish the soil. These circumstances cause enterprising country boys to appreciate early in life that as farmers they are not likely to receive suitable compensation for their time and effort, consequently these boys leave the farms and pass on to some one else the duty of furnishing pure and wholesome food for the human race. In view^ of these con- ditions, the one industry in which every individual in the civilized world is vitally interested, may usually be found under the manag,ement of people who have not received a thoroug,h business training. To illustrate the foregoing, facts, it is necessary only to invite attention to customary methods of producing and distributing milk. This enterprise is sadly neglected — city people vigorously protest against paying even a fair price for this essential commodity, thus preventing dairy farmers from obtaining sufficient funds wherewith to build and maintain sanitary stables and secure correct conditions in the management of dairy herds. The prevailing price of milk is decidedly unjust and should be greatly increased; otherwise impure milk will continue to destroy multitudes of children annually. It is remarkable that parents continue to imperil the lives of their own offspring by refusing, to ^ve the farmers reasonable recom- pense in order that they may be enabled to produce pure milk. The people who live in cities do not appreciate how serious is the crisis confront- ing them. They evidently devote no thought to the important fact that the strength of the soil, even in rich river bottom lands, is bein^ rapidly exhausted, and that greater and still greater efforts are necessary on the part of farmers whereby suffi- cient food may be yielded for the world's inhabitants. However, the tillers of the soil are beginning to realize that they mi^ht continue indefinitely devoting their time, labor and the fertility of their farms to the public ^thout deriving sufficient remun- eration to enable them to maintain the producing power of their land, consequently conditions are chan^in^, resulting in much agitation and ill-advised lawmaking. •^Kearts T)elight 3i.cA.1)e (^y^l/3 cJ^we .

Heart's Deli^Kt comprises eleven thousand acres and is located in Champlain Valley, 183 miles north of Albany and 50 miles south of Montreal. The daily through train service of the Delaware & Hudson between New York, Albany and Montreal furnishes easy access to the farm. Expert attention is devoted to raising pure bred Percheron and Belgian horses, which are illustrated on pa^es 8 to 25. Shorthorn Durham and Holstein-Friesian cattle, which are illustrated on pa^es 27 to 45. Dorset and Southdown sheep, which are illustrated on pa^es 46 to 54. Chester White and Yorkshire swine, which are illustrated on pag,es 55 to 59. White Leg,hom chickens, also turkeys and pigeons, which are illustrated on pa^es 60 to 64. Our foundation herds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine represent the best thou^t and efforts of fenerations of the world's greatest breeders. The farm is operated on the departmental basis, the expert in charge of each department reporting to the farm manag,er. Further reference to the scope of the farm activities will be found on pa^es 70 and 71. Illustrations on pa^es 72 to 89 show various details of the farm work.

CKe art's iJelight Jarm J^rcheronCnorses Origin and Development THE noble breed of animals, classified as horses, is the result of a remarkable process of development extend- ing, back through the ag,es to the first definitely accepted ancestor preserved in the Eocene formation of rocks. The fossilized bones of horses have also been found in caves formerly occupied by men of the Stone and Bronze a^es. Prjevalsky, a Russian traveler, is said to have discovered the immediate ancestors of modem horses. He found a wild species of the breed, which averaged about twelve hands in hei^t, in Mongolia south of the Altai Mountains. The Arabian is probably the oldest type of im- proved horse and is said to have been developed on the plains of Northern Africa. When the warriors of Islam invaded France in 732 A. D. and were defeated at Tours (about sixty miles south of the district of Le Perche) many of their Arabian charters were included in the spoils of victory. The horses ridden by these Saracens were chiefly stallions of the Turk, Arab and Barb types; therefore, the French people of that period were able to improve their native horses by crossing them with these symmetrical, clean-limbed, courageous, Oriental saddle horses, and the farmers of Le Perche made inteUig,ent use of these splendid stallions. Other importations of Oriental horses were made in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries in connection with the Crusades to the Holy Land. During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries Frenchmen of title manifested ^eat interest in the work of improving their horses and they imported for that purpose many fine Arabian stallions. Faithful Friends The blending of these Oriental charters with the native horses of France and the improvement brougjit about by careful selection during ten centuries have caused the Percheron horse of the present time to become noted for strength, endur- ance, style and conformation. •heart's 'Delight Gh.rm, 6hazy.MeiMyi,rk. The first real start of the breed in the United States was due to the importation of the stallion "Louis Napoleon", in 1851. During the past thirty years the Percheron breed has rapidly acquired popularity in America. The Percheron breeding mares of Heart's Delist Farm were most carefully selected — none but prize winners of the hi^est quality and most perfect conformation were acceptable; consequently our foundation stock represents the conscientious work and intelligent care of fenerations of the foremost farmers of France. Our Percheron breeding stallion "Ildefonse", imported from France in 1911, is recognized as one of the grandest stallions ever brou^t to America. In addition to many First, Champion and Special prizes which he won at the various state fairs, mentioned in detail on pa^e ten, it is worthy of note that at the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago in 1913 he established a remarkable record by winning First, Senior Champion, Grand Champion, Senior Champion Reserve, and was also First as an a^ed stallion. His size, conformation and disposition are perfect: his foals possess every desirable quality as to style, bone, stamina and resemblance to their sire. All the fire, vi^r and ^race handed down to " Ildefonse" throu^ many fenerations of splendid ancestors are reproduced in his superb ofisprin^, which as yearling average 1275 pounds inwei^t. »^ ii i^earfs T)elight ^Jarm, 6hazy,N&v^yor-k.

His intelligence, strength, endurance, use- fulness and beauty estabHsh his supremacy teyond question. In achieving the perfect qualities for which the Belgian breed of horses is renowned, the farmers of Belgium have accomplished a marvelous result. The work of estabHshing, the characteristics of the Belgian horse began under the patronage of Charlemagne, in the year 770 A.D. This great prince reahzed that in order to checkmate the superbly mounted Moslem warriors, who were ravaging Europe, it was necessary to produce chargers having strength and endurance equal to the task of carrying the northern cavalier with his heavy coat of mail, his battle axe and weighty lance, his sword and mace. To meet these conditions the massive black horses of Northern Europe were crossed with the high-spirited, symmetrical, nimble-footed, white and bay Arabian horses. Thus by an intelligent system of mter-breedmg the grandest and most powerful war horses ever known became a recognized fact. These mighty chargers bore the Knights of the Red Cross, during the Crusades, to the greatest cavalry victory ever recorded. heart's Tielight Dnrm. &hazy.Newyork. TKe descendants of these superb horses have been honestly and carefully bred for industrial purposes ever since the rei^n of Queen Elizabeth, while prior to that time they were produced for military uses only ; hence the line of descent of Belgian horses extends over a period of eleven centuries. These circumstances have resulted in a decree of excellence in the breed which seems almost incredible. The Belg,ian breeding mares of Heart's Delist Farm are said to be the finest ever broug,ht to America. Each one is a prize winner, and several are champions and g,rand champions. All of the wonderful quality, strength and stamina of the breed is represented by these g,rand animals. Our Belg,ian breeding, stallion, "Richelieu", is absolutely faultless. His color is dark chestnut, his intelligence, conformation, size, bone, disposition and style antici- pate every ideal. His foals are worthy descendants of this wonderful sire and accurately reflect his tremendous prepotency. As yearlin|,s they average about 1350 pounds in weig,ht. Their trueness to type, g,race of action and rapid development leave nothing more to be desired; therefore these colts establish the fame of "Richelieu" as the g,reatest stallion of his breed in America. " Richelieu" has never been defeated in the show ring, and has repeatedly won as Champion and Grand Champion at Madison Square Garden, New York, the Chicago International Exposition, and at all the ^reat State Fairs. Every person, who is privileged to see this noble horse, instantly realizes and appreciates his matchless perfection. SKearfs Delight (Jarm. (^hazy.Nev^york.

D., they found — as recorded by Jidius Caesar — ^^eat numbers of cattle known as Celtic Shorthorns. During the 400 years of Roman occupation of the island, it appears evident that other and larger species of cattle were brou^t to Britain and crossed with the Celtic breed. From this ancestry the lar^e wild white cattle of En^and doubtless ori^nated. Early En^ish history describes herds of these cattle as bein^ kept in four parks in the County of Durham. One of these herds of unknown antiquity was preserved in a park owned by the Bishop of Durham. Evidence of the existence of these wild white cattle is found in a ^rant of land by Charles I, dated March, 1626, wherein this breed is mentioned. It is also related that "the House of Ne\'ill has borne as its crest for at least 650 years Britain's wild white bull ". These and other closely related circumstances clearly indicate the line of descent of the breed until — ^in the year 1730 — we reach the dawn of systematic improvement in Shorthorns. Page Twemtifaewn SfCearts X>elight Dxirm. Qhazy.Nev^y^rk. Georg,e and MattKew CuUey of Denton, England, had a Kerd of SKorthoms in 1767, wKicK Robert Colling stated "were the best lot of cattle he had ever seen". John Maynard of Darling,ton also had a superior herd of these animals. Other noted breeders of that early period were Marmaduke Wetherell of Dalton-on-Tees, Mr. Harrison of Barmpton, Mr. Stephenson of Ketton, John and Thomas Bates, and Michael Jackson. Robert Bakewell of Dishley, En^and, is recognized as the greatest breeder of fine cattle of his time. His example and original system were adopted, in 1783, by Charles Colling, of Ketton and by Robert Colling of Barmpton, En^and, who^by means of a thorough application of Bakewell's methods — made their names famous as breeders of Shorthorns. Other men took up this g,reat work and, while space prevents extended mention, it is a pleasure to contemplate the results attained by Amos and Anthony Cruikshank, William Duthie, W. S. Marr, J. Deane Willis, Thomas Booth and the Earl of Dun- more. The work of these intelligent men has been of priceless value to America, as a well-established foundation herd of ideal Shorthorns — absolutely true to type — was ready for importation to this country and Canada, when the de^ee of process in agiriculture on this side oP the Atlantic enabled us to appreciate what the Shorthorn breed meant as a profitable investment. When one studies the history of Shorthorn breeding in America, the name of Frank Harding, stands out very prominently. He has become widely know^n as the owner of the matchless bull, "Whitehall Sultan", and as the breeder of ideal descend- ants of said animal. His herd of wisely selected Shorthorns and the careful methods he pursues has enabled him to accomplish most commendable results in producing just the right type of Shorthorns. Robert Miller of Canada also established his fame by producing, "Meadow Kin^', "Bridal Bouquet", and other undefeated champions of the breed. The names of Sir William Van Home, Bellows, Hanna, Carpenter, Ross, Stanton, Sayer, Dryden and Sir George Drummond — as well as of many other enterprising, Canadians and Americans — are intimately associated with the ^reat work of making this superior race of cattle better know^n and thoroughly appreciated by the farmers of America. The people of Canada and of the United States are beginning to realize the importance of the work bein^ accomplished by these men and its effect upon the welfare of humanity: their aim and ambition is to carry on, in a thoroughly intellig,ent manner, the results accomplished by past g,enerations of conscientious farmers of En^and and Scotland. Page Twcntij-eiijkl heart's Uelight G^arm. &hazy.Nev^york. The Shorthorn herd at Heart's DeU^ht Farm comprises about 100 carefully selected animals, which were recruited from the most popular strains of the breed— such as the Augusta, Missie, Duchess of Gloucester, Butterfly, Cruikshank, Broad- hoak, Victoria and Lavender. "Meadow Kin^" was for some years at the head of this herd. This remarkable bull was never defeated in the show rin^. He won first prize and Grand Champion prize at Toronto in 1910 and 1911; was also winner of the $500.00 cash prize and Gold Medal in 1911 as the best Shorthorn at the Toronto International Exposition. The offspring of this bull ^ive every evidence of developing into first prize We have lately purchased the celebrated bull, 'TOND MEMORY," from Mr. Frank Harding. This bull was sired by "WHITEHALL SULTAN", and is conceded to be the equal of his world-renowned ancestor in style, conformation, prepotency and in breeding, absolutely true to type. "FOND MEMORY" was first in his class at the Chicago International in 1909. Mr. Harding's recent sale of the Calves of "FOND Memory" proved conclusively that this bull will soon be generally acknowledged as the worthy successor of his peerless sire, "WHITEHALL SULTAN", in capacity to surely reproduce his remarkable qualities. Our Shorthorns are not pampered, but are raised under conditions which insure a strong constitution, well proportioned outlines and frame; also ^ood coats of hair. To obtain the g,reatest development possible they are well fed from calf-hood with a g,enerous ration in winter of roots, alfalfa, clover hay and a sparing portion of ^ain. In summer they have the freedom of tame ^rass pastures. Contemplation of these splendid examples of the life work of the world's greatest breeders of Shorthorns arouses the hope that some day the human race will come to a fuU realization of the possibilities o£ intelligent eugenics.

MUWHaaMnaan CKeart's T)elight Jarm TColstein Etesian Gattle Origin and Development FOR a period of over two thousand years the ancestral foundation of the present day Holstein-Friesian cattle was in process of development. The ancient Friesians were possessed of the sturdy thrift and plodding patience which their descendants also manifest, and these sterling qualities made it possible for the people of Holland to originate and develop the g,reatest strain of milch cows in existence. The farmers of Holland have always avoided inbreeding, consequendy the Holstein cow has more stamina and prepotency than any other dairy animal. The efforts put forth by the Dutch during so many centuries to constantly improve the capacity of their dairy herds in milk production, represent a |,reat contribution to the wealth and progress of America by reason of the liberal importation of the best strains of these cattle to the United States and the consequent upbuilding of our Holstein herds. i^eart's 'Delight Ofurm. Qhaxy.New'^rk. Our farmers have mucK to emulate in the example set by the dairymen of Holland and ere lon^ it may transpire that dairy cattle in this country will be prop- erly housed during winter months in clean, well ventilated and sunny stables, and that through a logical system of cooperation on the part of state and nation, proper facilities for producing pure milk may be provided. The people must understand that only through fairness and enlightenment in dealing with this industry may we hope to have pure and wholesome milk to feed to the babies. The first recorded importation of these cattle to America was made by the Holland Land Company in 1795. During the past twenty-five years the popularity of the breed has rapidly increased and well informed farmers are be^innin^ to realize that it is a w^aste of time and opportunity to keep other types of dairy cows. Heart's Delight Farm Holstein-Friesian cattle are descendants of the best strains of Pontiac, Korndyke and Prilly blood to be found in this country, and the up- building of our herd is conducted in a thoroug,h and conscientious manner. Some of our foundation stock was purchased from Stevens Brothers of Liverpool, New York, who are widely known as breeders of many of the finest Holsteins ever produced. The ancestral line of our herd bull traces back throug,h many g,enerations of the most popular and highest producing strains of Holsteins in the United States. ^Heart's 1)elight Drirm, Ghazy.Newyork.

CrCe art's Tjeiight Jarm JJorset ana Southdown oheep Origin and "Development IN Asia, Africa and Europe, also in North and SoutK America, many different species of wild sKeep existed lon^ before history recorded any distinctive facts relative to this nohle hreed of animals, which were domesticated many centuries a^o, and have figured very largely in human activities from time immemorial. The Spaniards trou^t sheep to North America ahout the year 1500 and they w^ere introduced into the En^ish Colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1609. George Washington, first President of these United States, was a successful farmer and competent man of business. He appreciated the tremendous possibilities of sheep as a national asset. Since his time the sheep industry has suffered many reverses, some of the worst of -which may be justly attributed to "tariff tinkering". The importance of establishing and maintaining a thoroughly patriotic, consistent, intelligent and conservative policy in managing the business affairs of this country cannot be overestimated. Every fanner, business man and patriotic citizen should devote his best thought and effort to this subject in order that our form of govern- ment may continue to exist. Dorset sheep w^ere developed in the Counties of Dorset and Somerset, England and were first brought to America in 1885 by E. Stanford of Markham, Ontario. For over two hundred years this remarkable breed has produced autumn and winter lambs. Our foundation flock of Dorsets were procured in England from the following famous breeders: W. R. Rower, E. A. Hambro and Frank J. Merson, therefore our SKeart's "Delight Uarm. Qhazy.Newyork. sheep represent tKe conscientious and intelligent effort of tKese enterprising farmers, who devoted their lives to the up-building of Dorsets. Through this foundation our system has produced remarkable results, and our flock is now recognized as the finest in America. The demand for our Dorset lambs for breeding purposes far exceeds our capacity to supply them. Southdown sheep derive their name from a ran^e of hills located in the southern part of the Counties of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset, upon which they originally pastured. The improvement of Southdowns be^an about 1776. The two most noted of the early breeders of these sheep were John EUman of Glynde, in Sussex, and Jonas Webb of Brabraham, Cambridgeshire, England. John Ellman be^an his ^reat work of improvement about 1780, and he left this beautiful breed of sheep almost as perfect as it is to-day. Southdowns were imported into America from England about 1800. Dr. Rose of Fayette, Seneca County, New York, possessed a small flock as early as 1803. These animals breed remarkably true to type and are ideal mutton sheep. Our Southdown foundation flock was very carefuUy selected from the finest flocks of the world's greatest breeders, and the descendants of these splendid sheep are a credit to the best traditions of the breed. jr *!«^*'^i. i Pagi Fmtt-taem heart's Delight &arm, ehazy.N^wyark. {/Ceart's 'De.lighrt OiarVel ^ /J /oingly ch.cxra.cier he \y~t bears, "XlnfaSing IS the crown he Wears .

CKeart's iJmicjiht Jarm QhesterWnite ana t/orksnire Swine Origin and Development IT is evident that before the dawn of history, swine existed in a wild condition in Europe, Asia and Africa, and the improvement of these wild ancestors of modern swine be^an at an early period; in fact, the semi-barbarous tribes of Asia realized the value of these animals many centuries a^o. Zoologiists divide the principal species of swine as follow: True swine, including the wild ho^ of Europe, Asia and Africa; the Babirussa, found in East Indian Islands; the Papuan hog, of New Guinea and the Wood swine of South Africa. Swine may be reared successfully in any country outside of the Arctic Circle. Possessed of a strong appetite, they utilize a larg,e amount of food which would otherwise ^o to waste. Tl\ey are more prolific than any other domestic quadruped except the rabbit, and are of tremendous value to the human race on account of the food they furnish. Althoug,h the hog, is older than history, the past century marks the period oi real advance in sw^ine husbandry. The various breeds known in America trace back to those of Great Britain, which were chiefly improved by crossing with Chinese ho^. SfCeart's ^Delight Dxirm , Qhazy.Newyor-k. The magnitude of tKe swine industry in America may be appreciated by referring to the records of the various stock yards of the country. Chicago Stock Yards alone received in 1913 ho^ amounting in value to $146,000,000.00. The total estimated number of ho^ in the world in 1913 was about one hundred and fifty million, worth at an average price of $20.00 each— $3,000,000,000.00. Chester WKite swine originated about 1815 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and for fifty years thereafter the Quaker farmers of that re^on made remarkable improvement in the breed through careful selection and mating. This type of ho^ is noted for its quiet disposition, ^ood size, splendid conformation, ^eat prepotency and the ability to mature quickly. The Chester White swine of Heart's Delight Farm represent the most desirable qualities obtainable. Our foundation herd of sows w^as selected with utmost care, and our herd boar, "Sunny Jim", has contributed greatly to the up-building and fame of the breed. His style, stamina and ability to breed true to type is remarkable. This ^reat sire has more registered pi^ to his credit than any other Chester White boar in America. Heart's Delight Farm Lar^e Yorkshire swine are also justly noted .for quality. We spared no effort nor expense in securing the finest examples of this ^eat breed of swine when our herd was established. Our brood sows are splendid in con- formation, and produce very lar^e litters of strong, well-formed pi^. Our herd boars represent the best and most desirable strains obtainable, are remarkably pre- potent, and breed absolutely true to type. The demand for these pi^ has become widespread; we select only the choicest specimens for sale as breeding animals, and are now shipping larg,e numbers of Chester White and Yorkshire swine to the foremost agricultural colle|,es and enter- prising farmers of America, as well as to foreign countries. <^eart's 'Delight Oxirm .

CKearts LJoiight Jartn Thultri/ Origin and Development TT is generally conceded that "Gallus Bankiva", the wild jungle fowl of India, is the ancestor of the modern hen. The domestication of this fowl dates from remote antiquity. Poultry spread -- - '• eastward and northward from India and reached China ahout fourteen hun- dred years before the Christian era. The first domestic fow^ls imported to America were Games and Leghorns. Heart's Delight Farm poultry largely consists of White Leghorns. They mature quickly, are prolific layers, and our poultry plant now contains many thousands of these beautiful birds which are absolutely true to type. Our system of managing poultry has enabled us to secure an active market for eggs and broilers, which are disposed of through the best clubs, hotels, cafes and fancy grocers. The turkeys of the present day are descended from the native wild turkeys which formerly existed in large numbers from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. The color of this type is black, shaded with a rich bronze, copper and gold. From this wild original, crossed with the domestic black turkey brought by the early settlers from England, was created the well-known species of bronze turkeys. The climate and conditions at Heart's Delight Farm permit the production of a very superior strain of these birds, which are noted for their excellent flavor and tenderness and are shipped to all parts of the United States. Heart's Delight Farm pigeons, in common with numerous varieties of birds, so designated, are descended from the Blue Rock Pigeon of Europe (the Biset of the French), a bird of extensive geographical range, being found in nearly all parts of the eastern henaisphere. The raising of Heart's Delight Farm squabs is an important branch of our poultry department. Our foundation breeding pigeons were carefully selected, and as the result of judicious mating and crossing, we are producing squabs of excellent quality and weight, which find a ready market.

WQy5^r-rny}^OLna.q6 7TierLt J HAT subject is more fundamental in its significance and Learin^ upon tKe i^/i:' future of this republic tKan farm management. The very existence of the country, its ideals and its inhabitants, depend very largely upon the farmers. Numerous laws are enacted to regulate everything, and everybody. How- ever, it is obvious that common sense cannot be legislated into the minds of people who may not have inherited it; likewise fertility cannot be legislated into exhausted soil. Most farmers face a deficit at the end of their fiscal year, but apparently are not aware of the fact. Antiquated custom decrees that they shall sell their farm pro- duce at one-half of its actual value. Farmers rarely if ever consider the capital outlay, consisting largely of soil fertility which they annually donate to the consumers of food, and no account is taken of depreciation of building, fences, implements and the value of the farmer's own time. Advancing years with resulting loss of efficiency is never discounted in the price the farmers ask for the food they produce. In truth, the farmer and the people w^ho subsist upon the fruits of his industry have been conducting their business relations upon a disastrously false economic basis. In the meantime, the five year average yield of wheat per acre in the United States has declined to about thirteen bushels. This rate of production is ruinous to the farmers as well as to the consumers. The average crop of corn and other ^rain per acre is likewise reduced as an inevitable result of the common desire to ^et something for nothing; therefore the land ^rows poorer each year and the price of food increases. x!^eart's ^Delight Oxirm. 6hazy.Sev^'\fork To a g,reat extent our journalists and writers overlook tkeir opportunity to edu- cate all of the people as to tKe real causes whicK underlie the increase in cost of food; they needlessly attack the middlemen who eke out a difficult living trying to serve the farmers and the inhabitants of our cities. Let us hope that we shall not be aroused too late by the pinch of hunger. Farm management at Heart's Delight embodies as a central thought thorou^ness in every phase of activity. Hence the tillable land is properly drained by the use of tile, and is then brought to a condition of highest fertility; we plow deep and pre- pare the land for seeding with utmost care. We constantly endeavor to accomplish by means of crop rotation, scientific fertilization and thorough cultivation, better and still better results. This system has enabled us to produce five and one-half tons of timothy hay per acre, six and one-half tons of alfalfa per acre, ninety-seven bushels of oats per acre and other crops in proportion. Our fields of corn, w^heat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, buckwheat, alfalfa and tim- othy are an inspiration and a delig,ht to the eye. When farmers generally inaugurate and practice thorough methods in all their efforts, the resulting increase in production w^ill enhance the wealth of the nation to a fabulous extent. Our flocks and herds are also brou|,ht to the hig,hest state of excellence by the use of the best pure bred strains of blood and by the most careful selection of sires. Our Percheron and Belgian horses. Shorthorn and Holstein cattle, Yorkshire and Chester White s'wine, Dorset and Southdow^n sheep represent the best attainable re- sults of careful and conscientious breeding. Other produce of the farm, w^hich has won recognition on account of quality, consists of ham, bacon, sausage, butter, e^s, winter lambs, chickens, turkeys, squabs, brook trout, maple su|,ar and syrup, Canadian cantaloupe and celery.
