LECTURE.
CAR
^ MOVtt CAR V
WINNIPEG, MAN.—An agricul
tural college on wheels, in the form
of a special livestock improvement
train from which several hundred
purebred bulls were distributed to
farmers of Manitoba was run over
the lines of the Canadiun National
Railways during June.
Under the arrangements the rai'
way carried the bulls free cf
charge and the animals were sold
on credit to the farmers. Loans
equalling half the price of the bulls
were advanced to the purchasers
by the Manitoba Department of
Agriculture, secured by lien notes
on the animals with interest at 7
percent.
The sales were part of a cam
paign for livestock improvement
and extension of education in agri
culture sponsored by the Dominion
Department of Agriculture, the
Manitoba Department of Agricul
ture, the provincial agricultural col
lege, Manitoba Cattle Breeders As
sociation, Winnipeg Livestock Ex
change and packing companies.
Representatives of the Canadian
Bankers Association, the Manitoba
Sheep and Swine Breeders Asso
ciation and the provincial board of
health also accompanied the train.
The train was a veritable mov
ing university with lecture cars for
men, women and children, where
livestock raising, crop improve
ment, poultry breeding and mar
keting were demonstrated, motion
pictures, educational exhibits, in
structive literature charts and dia
grams. Facilities ’were provided
for practical demonstrations by
experts of the values of different
types of cattle, hogs, sheep and
poultry.
The train stopped at fifty-five
points for lectures and dispersal
sales where thousands of farmers
and their families made enthusia..
tic audiences. Among these were:
Grahamdale, Gypsumville, Moose
Horn, Amaranth, Grandview, Sif
ton, Winnipegosis, Swan River, St,

Inwood Chatfield and Camper nn
the Canadian National line
are rapidly developing as <
of livestock raising and 1
farming. The influx of settloi i
to these areas in recent months
has been unusually heavy.
An important feature of the
train this year was the attention
paid to women on the farm. A
special «ar was set aside and at
every stop lectures were given on
such subjects as home dress-mak
ing, labor saving devices in the
household, the care of babies, cor
rect health habits and feeding.
