First Local Guernsey Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion in Canada 
The first local Guernsey breeders’ as¬ 
sociation in the Dominion was organized 
on December 2. 1021, at Patricia, near 
Calgary, Alberta. A meeting of farmers 
interested in dairying was held in the 
Patricia sehoolhouse on that date, and 
the outcome was the formation of the 
Patricia Guernsey Cattle Association, 
with a paid-up membership of 45 farmers. 
Credit for the progressive movement is 
due to J. A. Scott. W. C. Templin and R. 
Corbett, who had dune much preliminary 
work to perfect the organization. These 
three men were elected president, vice- 
president and secretary-treasurer, in the 
order named. The local butter-maker. 
Mr. Yanterzieeht. has been engaged to 
visit British Columbia to purchase 27 
mature Guernsey cows and 23 bred grade 
Guernsey heifers for the members of the 
association. 
Snakes That Suck Cows 
After reading in Tiie R. N.-Y. about a 
snake sucking a cow. I wish to tell you 
what I know. Six years ago last Sum¬ 
mer I had a Holstein cow six years old. 
A stream of water ran through the pas¬ 
ture. The cow would feed around until 
10 or 11 o’clock, then lie down under a 
big pine. About 2 o’clock she would get 
up, stretch herself, walk down into the 
water among some brush, and lick the 
flies. I noticed she stood at about the 
same place every day, so T thought I 
would investigate. It was just below the 
barn, so one day I walked down. As I 
approached near the cow she walked out 
up on the bank on the other side. On 
this side was a stone wall about 214 ft. 
high, of loose stones, to keep the water in 
its channel, and level with the ground 
on this side. As T approached I saw a 
short thick snake with bright spots, what 
we call a house snake, coiled around a 
round stone which was covered with a 
large flat stone; being many holes in the 
wall. I looked for something to hit it with 
so as to be sure of getting it. 
As I saw nothing in sight T went to 
the barn and got the stable fork. M.v 
little girl saw me looking around and 
said: “What are you looking for father?” 
I told her I wanted to catch the snake, 
so we went. The snake did not see me 
the first time, but when the little girl and 
I came back he had his head back be¬ 
tween the stones toward us. and saw us. 
I crept up slowly and stuck the fork tine 
into the thick part of the snake and 
pulled him toward me. As I did so he 
threw his head and body back and forth 
in pain. The air was filled with milk, 
which it spewed up all over the ground. 
I never saw the cow stand in that same 
place again. T. n. P.

GUERNSEYS 
GUERNSEYS 
not only give large quantities of rich 
milk of unequalled color and flavor 
when new milch, but they continue 
this production throughout the year. 
It is a common thing for Guernseys, 
on official yearly test, to produce 
more butter fat in the 12th month 
of lactation than in the 1st.
