till the light railway comes along to remove it. Whatever cause of complaint 
farmers may sometimes have, they have never yet had to dump their produce 
down at a wayside station and leave it for more than a day and a night on an 
emergency. 
THE BREEDER’S TABLE FOR 1902. 
“‘T wonder when I set that hen.’’ ‘I wonder when that mare will throw 
her foal.” How often does one hear such a wonder expressed by careless 
farmers and stockowners who take no note of any event on the farm, trusting 
that things are bound to come out right in the long run ? 
Now, we propose to give every month during this year a table which only 
requires a couple of minutes’ writing, and lo! everything connected with the 
breeding times of stock and the arrival of the progeny is faithfully recorded. 
We take the idea from the “ Live Stock Journal Almanac,” London, and we 
adyise our readers not to cut it out of the Journal, but to make their records 
init as it stands. It is then not likely to get lost. In this issue we print the 
tables for April and May, and shall continue them for each succeeding year in 
the hope that they will be of some service in enabling farmers and others to 
ascertain with some degree of certainty when the various kinds of new arrivals 
are due—accidents, of course, excepted.
