Johnston Brothers To Match Ayrshires Massawippi\u2014Once upon a time there were seven brothers Johnston, each with Scottish blood in his veins.One became a laborer in Ontario\u2014the rest all became cattle farmers.One became a Shorthorn farm manager; one became a dairy grade cattle raiser; one became a Hereford farm manager.The three of them \u2014 Alex, Douglas and John\u2014stayed right in the Eastern Townships, and now raise Ayrshire cattle on three separate farms.Naturally, when Ayer\u2019s Cliff Fair time rolls around, there\u2019s keen rivalry in the air.And this year will probably be no exception.All three are taking pure-bred red and white Ayrshires to the Ayer\u2019s Cliff Fair which starts Thursday.Alex, who owns a small, 71-acre farm near Stanstead, is the oldest of the three at 53.He\u2019s the only one of the brothers who can boast that he was born in Scotland.But although Alex is the oldest of the three brothers in the Eastern Townships, John, the youngest at 35, owns a large 150-acre farm some three miles from this small centre, is the oldest breeder, and, say both Douglas and Alex, the best, too.Douglas, at 42, is between the two brothers as far as age goes.And as far as Ayrshire breeding goes too.He now has some 46 head of cattle on his 83-acre farm near Stanstead, all descendants of the Johnston home herd from the old Fernhill farm at Georgeville.Both Alex and John bought their cattle from other sources.Douglas and Alex both credit John, \u201cthe young \u2019un\u201d with starting the family on breeding purebred Ayrshires.Their father came over from Scotland in 1907 and settled near Beebe.He moved to the Fernhill farm in 1924, and started raising grade cattle\u2014 cross breeds.Then the Calf Clubs came along.John was the only one young enough to join at the time, and he needed a pure-bred calf in order to become a Calf Club member.So his father bought him one \u2014 naturally, a Scottish Ayrshire.And that started Mr.Johnston, Sr., off on breeding pure Ayrshires instead of grades.\u2018 All three Johnstons have come back to raising their own cattle after absences of varying length.John worked at the Butterfield machine factory in Rock Island until five years ago when he bought his present farm site.Douglas used to be a specialist in field crops, not Ayrshires, until he took over his father\u2019s farm in 1943.In 1947, he sold Fernhill, brought 18 head of cattle to his present site, and started breeding anew.Aleix didn't start raising cattle on his own until six years ago, after having worked as a manager of Ayrshires for Howard Murray, in Magog, for over 13 years.Now, the competition is close and keen every year.Last year, John took both the male and female grand championships at Ayer\u2019s Cliff, as well as 10 other firsts.Alex won half a dozen firsts with only eight entries, while his daughter, Joan, a member of the Hatley Calf Club, won the calf grand championship and the showmanship championship.Douglas won about 16 firsts, and the junior female grand championship.Though fair comeptition is close among them, John takes top honors as cattle trader.He literally bought a grand championship from his unsuspecting brother Alex.Two years ago, he persuaded Alex to sell him a cow called Elmsriale Spot.She had never showed before, but last year, she won the grand championship at Ayer's Cliff for her new owner.John still chuckles over this deal.\u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019ll win this year,\u201d he says.\u201cBut take a look at this bull!

They're wonderfully gentle and clever, and can work single or double as we wish.\u201d \u201cIhcy\u2019ll do anything you want them to do, she concluded.\"See You at the Fair!''

Reg.Conner Has Greatly Influenced Holstein Breeding In Townships North Hatley \u2014 Because he joined the Hatley Heifer Club when it was first formed in 1924, Reginald G.Conner, who breeds Holsteins near this Eastern Townships resort village, now has his own small herd of some 20 head.Every cow in the herd is a direct descendent of the two-year-old heifer Holstein he bought as a member of that first club \u2014 Jean of Mountain-dale.Conner says that if it hadn\u2019t been for the heifer club, he probably wouldn't be breeding Holsteins today.That would have been a loss to breeders in ; the district, for in addition to j being a past president of the i Holstein - Freisan Breeders' Association of Canada, Quebec Branch, and vice-president of j this year\u2019s Ayer's Cliff fair, I which starts Thursday and con-! tinues Friday and Saturday, i Conner has been a perennial j Holstein winner at the annual Stanstead County exhibition.The present Hatley 4-H Calf Club, comprising some 45 mem-! bers in the district, is the descendent of the original heifer j club.Conner, a leader of the j present Hatley Calf Club, recalls that the original heifer i clubs were different from to-| day's organizations.Their purpose, first of all, was to help young breeders build up herds of their own.Today, the aim is more one of instruction and character training for potential farmers.Breeding is an incidental outcome of today\u2019s 4-H Clubs.When the Hatley club was first formed, there were 14 members in it, and Reg Conner was president.Whereas today, 'members of the club can only show calves \u2014 that is, animals 1 of any breed under one year \u2014 J members of the original club showed two-year-olds, and there | was only one breed per club.| The Hatley club started as a Holstein heifer club.Funds were provided by the Department of Agriculture for 1 the original member^ from Ayer\u2019s Cliff, North Hatley and : East Hatley to each purchase a heifer.Conner recalls that his was bought from Winchester, Ontario.Members were expected to pay the purchase price back to the government over a ; period of time.To build up the members\u2019 herds from the one heifer each BEEBE- Mr.John Lepitre, of Hamilton, Ont., was a weekend guest of Mr.and Mrs.Harold Maxwell.Mrs.Lepitre and children returned home with him after spending the past few weeks with her parents.Recent guests of Mr.and Mrs.F.C.Millar were, Mr.and Mrs.Walter Currie, Edith, Rita and Walter jr., of St.Lambert; Mr.and Mrs.F.J.LeGallais and daughter, Rosemary, of Chandler.had, the Department placed herd sires in the district which could be used by members free of charge.Later, once the members got their herds started, each one was expected to provide his own herd sire.And this is how Conner started his Holstein breeding career.Showmanship, exhibitions and judging at county fairs were not the big events they are today.This year, as in previous years, the Hatley club is holding its annual Achievement Day at the Ayer\u2019s Cliff Fair on Thursday and Friday, during w'hich calf classes, judging and showmanship competition will be held as the culmination of the year's work.Events will be highlighted by a banquet for the members in the dining hall Thursday, night, and a calf parade in front of the grandstand on Friday afternoon.The Lennoxville 4-H Calf Club will join the Hatley Club for the two-day round.\u2014 HUGH DOHERTY YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO VISIT OUR UP-TO-DATE FEED MILL .ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST MODERN IN THE DISTRICT.DONT MISS THE AYER'S CLIFF FAIR!
