SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 \ 



EXPERIMENTAL STATION, KENTVILLE, N.S. 



REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT— W. S. BLAIR. 



Although it is not proposed to specialize along- Animal Husbandry lines at this 

 Farm, yet in every fruit section farmers need to keep more or less live stock. 



It is proposed, therefore, on this particular farm to run a small Shorthorn herd 

 of somewhat mixed dairy and beef lines such as might be advisable for the average 

 fruit-growing farmer of this part of Nova Scotia. 



During the past fiscal year accommodation was provided, in the shape of a barn, 

 for the necessary farm horses and a moderate-sized beef herd. 



Twenty-two steers were purchased during the fall of 1912, but as these have not 

 been marketed at the time of writing they will be reported on next year.
