Provincial regulations regarding the operation of these fences might be expected any time, hs said.

Inspection of each system would be a first step. A person with a weak heart might meet with considerable harm from touching a wire of such fence. Barbed wire was practically essential, he added. It made a better contact. It was doubtful whether the fence was good for sheep.

Producers Discuss Milk Grading Idea T. A. Watson Outlines Working Of Plan at P.A.; Help Raise Quality Considerable support for the grading of milk waa expressed at the Wednesday afternoon producers' section of the convention of the Saskatchewan Dairy Association, being held at The Bessborough. T. A.

Watson of Prince Albert explained the operation of the system In that city and said that it was quite successful. As long as there was no differentiation In the quality of different samples of milk, the producer had little incentive to maintain a high standard, one delegate said. He felt that there ought to be differ ent prices for various qualities. Prince Albert had three grades, according to Mr. Wataon, these known as and The first two were put on the milk market and the other converted to cream and butter.

The first grade waa sold for 59 cents per pound butterfat, according to Mr. Watson, and the second for 54 cents. The spread was enough to make most farmers anxious to produce only the best. This was reflected in the convention competition for different samples of milk. Prince Albert district took four of the six prizes given for the 114 entries.

Chief factor considered in the grading was keeping quality: Producers were required to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and to cool the milk quickly. These two operations made A milk nearly perfect In keeping characteristics Features at Roxy Have Fast Action Five of a Shows Dionne Quintuplets to Advantage; Flynn in Second Film Its all about news hounds at the Roxy Theatre where the management presents three hours of speedily moving and action packed entertainment in "Feur's a Crowd," with a star studded cast and "Five of a Kind," starring as the title suggests the Dionne Quintuplets.

Only thus could the Government prevent a greater concentration on wheat by the Saskatchewan farmer. The present policy of bonusing wheat production was detrimental to the beet interests of agriculture in general, he said. It unfairly penalized the coarse grains producer, and thus was a deterrent to diversified farming. This lack of diversification and complete dependence on wheat had been a mistake, one to be avoided again. RAZED BY FIRE ARBORFIELD, Feb.

J.

Blnnlngton to the producers session of the convention of the Saskatchewan Dairy Association Wednesday afternoon In The Bessborough. Only one wire, small posta every three or four rods, some insulation, six-volt current, a coil and a "unit" were required to make at least five miles of first-class fence, Mr. Frey explained. The Idea was especially suitable for temporary fences. An induced current Was sent out into the wire every second or so by the apparatus and any animal touching the wire at the time received a shock.

Am animals were especially afraid of shocks, they rarely bothered after two or three attempts. Mr. Blnnlngton, a farmer near Saskatoon, said that last year he put 160 rods of this fence through the centre of his field of oats, separating the poor section from the good. Hla herd of cattle was turned on the poor part and never bothered the crop on the other aide of the single strand of wire. Considerable difficulty was experienced, however, in getting the horses close to the fence when he was harvesting the good part.

Training" the animals was required, said Mr. Frey, to make the system work satisfactorily. This consisted of putting a charged" wire In front of some feed In the barn yard. It wasnt long till they respected the fence. Warning against tha use of more than six volts was repeated aeveral times by Mr.

Frey. If a Ford coil waa used, Instead of a patented device, with Just six volts, it gave Asquith Pioneer, Resident Passes Special to the Star-Phoenix ASQUITH, Feb. 2. William Lake 80 years old, a prominent resident of this community since he came hers In 1904, died on Tuesday. Mr.

Pioneer Resident Of Delmas Passes DELMAS, Feb. claimed one of the district's old-time rest dents when J. R. Edwards, aged 73. passed sway In North Battleford General Hospital on Tuesday afternoon after a month's Illness.

He was operated on for stomach trouble. Mr. Edwards has farmed in the Delmas district since 1906 and was one of the number of Barr colonists who stopped in Manitoba for some time before coming northwest. He la survived by his widow and one daughter, Mrs. L.

He told the court that the brake to the right front wheel was disconnected altogether and that the braking efficiency of the left front and right rear wheels was only 200 pounds. The left rear wheel had good braking efficiency. Applying the brakes at 20 miles per hour, the truck veered to the left, Leptne said. He described the brakes very Inefficient," The steering wheel had six or seven Inches of play, the gear lever would not stay In high gear but had to be held In place, and the horn and tall light would not work, witnesa continued. A description of the headlight test showed the left headlamp lens was missing and the reflector badly tarnished, and the illumination of the other lamp was given a 65 per cent rating by Leplne.

The windshield of the truck had a frost shield 13 by seven Inches of celluloid, In front of the steering wheel. Glass In both the right and left windows was missing and in the place of the glass were pieces of wood veneer In which holes 15ti by six Inches had been cut and celluloid Inserted. The celluloid frost shield had been "scratched and rubbed, apparently, and was hard to see through," asserted Leplne, All tires on the truck were worn smooth, although the degree of smoothness varied, witness continued. He described tests made on an icy street and on concrete, and concluded that If the brakes were applied forcibly, only the left rear tire would akid. Under cross examination by defense counsel, Leplne admitted he had not alighted from the truck to sea the skid marks of the truck after taking the tests on tha icy street.

Inspector Albert Mllna of the city police force had been with him at the time of the tests, hs said. ENGINE NOT RUNNING Leplne also told Mr. Dlsbery that the engine of the truck had not been running as he took the headlamp tests. He agreed with defense counsel that celluloid had been widely used as frost shield material before the use of glasa came into popularity. Walter Ouellette, who also gave evidence at the morning session, submitted to cross-examination by Mr.

Dlsbery as the afternoon session opened. The first time hs had seen the body of Dumont from his position on the truck platform was 12 or 15 feet ahead of the truck, said Ouellette. Was there any sign of movement In the man at that time," asked defense counsel. "No," was the reply. Ouellette said the "gurgle1 emitted by the man had been made as he and Harrison lifted him to the truck.

Ouellette also said blood was flowing from the mans mouth at that time. Did you recognize him as Fred Dumont?" asl ed Mr. Dlsbery after the witness said he had known Dumont many years. No, it was dark and his face was rvered with blood," replied Ouei-1 lette.

Auld, deputy minister of agriculture, Regina, who spoke Wednesday before the delegates to the annual convention of the Saskatchewan Dairy Association now being held at The Bessborough.

He based hla optimism on the low price of land and the probability of much better conditions soon.

Despite the fact that $617 was now the average farm income, he advised young men to make their plans now for a career at farming. The first few years might be tough but the long-run outlook was quite hopeful.
