Price Parity The disadvantage which prevailed between prices of farm commodities and manufactured products since 1929 was terminated in Oct. 1936, and during the first half of 1937 farmers were able to obtain a grea- ter than normal quantity of manu- factured goods in exchange for their agricultural products. In the last several months, due to the fall im agricultural prices, this advantage has been almost lost and at the first of December the two sets of prices were practically on a parity. It 1s expected, however, that the present position will not be greatly changed during the first part of 1938. Rearing Winter Pigs The winter feeding of swine pre: sents many problems that are not encountered in summer time, since pigs are forced to live under un- natural conditions in winter and without the variety of feeds avail- able in the earlier part of the year. At the same time it has to be re- membered that any attempt at for- cing winter pigs when exercise 1s limited is courting disaster. Gool feed should be fed at a rate that thc pigs can overtake and the pigs kept in dry, comfortable quarters with room for exercise in the early stages of growth. By combining good feed- ing and management, many of the common ailments of swine will be avoided, and the result will be heal- thy and thrifty market pigs. Successful winter pig production depends largely upon three factors. These factors are: warm, dry sleep- King ing quarters, free from draughts; suitable feeds and care in feeding them, and exercise in the early | stages of growth. {Exercise for the | growing animal is practicalyl a ne-| cessity. This is particularly true of] the pig in the early stages, anl es-| pecially so if the pig is being forced | by heavy feeding. Heavy feeding without exercise = is conducive to' crippling. It is wise, therefore, to, allow the young pigs to run out-, doors during the fine fall weather, | and when they must be kept inside, due to bad weather, they should be allowed sufficient pen space to exer- cise freely. With regard to nd dry sleeping quarters, providing warm if there are buildings available it would be] unwise and not economical to build | new pig quarters. Even old buildings should be remodelled only sufficien- ly to ensure comfortable feeding and sleeping accommodation. Sufficient trough should be provided so that each pig will have an opportunity to secure a fair share of the fead. If the building is draughty or likely to be cold, the construction of a cover- ed sleeping berth will be wellworth consideration. It can be construct- ed of any available lumber in a dry | corner of the feeding pen. The | sleeping berth should not be more than three feet high and covered | with boards and straw, and just] large enough in area to house the | pigs comfortably in a bed of dry, | clean straw. The British Market and Canadian Farm Produce | A story of neglected opportunities | for sale of Canadian agricultural products in the United Kingdom market is told in a highly informa- tive report jus t issued by the Do- minion Minister of Agrienlture, Hon. James G. Gardiner. The report reveals the results of an intensive study of the British market which was conducted by a group of Cana- dian agricultural experts who visited the British Isles with A.M. Shaw, recently appointed Director of Mar- | keting Services for the Dominion Department of Agriculture. It was found that other Dominions' products were better known than Canadian in Great Britain and that house- wives were not familiar with Cana- dian goods. Practically every product of the Canadian farm which enters the ex- port market, from cattle and dress- ed poultry to honey and canned pears. is dealt with in the report, and each item is related to the Bri- tish merchant and consumer. The report reveals information which the Canadian agricultural specialists gleaned from interviews with im- porters, commission agents, brokers, wholesalers, manufacturers, retailers and housewives in 18 cities in kng- land. Scotland and Ireland. Farms where herds of Canadian dairy cows and beef cattle were feeding were visited, as were fruit 'auctions, cheese factoriet, jam manufacturing planti, and famous food marts. The report includes six general findings of great importance fo the Canadian farmer and to all those in- terested in the export of Canada's farm produce to the British market. Definite recommendations are also | given in the report, advocating an immediate adoption of a three- fold, long-term policy to win great- er and more constant share of the| British market..i These findings and recommendations are set forth at length in the 86-page report which may be obtained free on application to -the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department ot Agriculture. Ottawa. BEAUTY QUEEN WAS MURDER- ED BY SMALL TUBE OF TOOTHPASTE In Vienna a woman is seeking di- vorce on the ground that her hus- band holds her down and tickles her until she screams. "You are lucky" the judge told her, "for there once lived in Salzburg a tailor named Tobias Hacker, who tickled seven wives to death." Ingenuity in murder is not limited to thrillers. As great an originality 'as you will find anywhere in fiction has marked some of the stranger crimes of the year, and now a baf- fling murder mystery, in which the outstanding feature is a tube of toothpaste, has created a sensation in Bucharest. Tita Criteseu, "Miss Rumania" of 1933, was one of the loveliest young actresses in Europe. One evening last January she went to her bath- room and sang with happiness. Her engagement to a handsome young man in the Diplomatic Ser- vice had just been anmounced, and her father and mother had dined with her in her pleasant little flat overlooking the river. Tita haa chattered of her exciting plans for the future. BATHROOM TRAGEDY Shortly after she entered the bathroom, groans brought her maid rushing to the door--to find Tita writhing in agony. The 'doctor was summoned but the actress died be- fore dawn and he had grave suspi- cions. At the autopsy traces of cyanide were discovered in the body At first the police suspected suicide, and so convinced were they that Tita was buried without benafit of cergy. But why should this beautiful gir. kill herself directly before her hap- py betrothal? So insistent were her parents that the case should not be dropped that the police again search- ed Tita's flat. In the bathroom a young police officer sniffed. From somewhere came the smell of bitter almonds, its insinuting odour a clear sign that Tita could not, as the detectives had at first imagined, have thrown the poison bottle out of the window in- to the river. For some minutes the officer searched, then he found that the fapScratching RELIEVE ITCHING In A Minute Even the most stubborn itching of eczema, blotches, pra i ol bt ol i . Lenni 00! y BI tio, quid D. 8. D. PRESCRIPTION. Its , antes the Irritated skin. Clear, greaseless and staln- pungent perfume came from the toothpaste. The paste was analysed | and discovered to be heavily impreg- | nated with poison. In using it, Tita had unwittingly killed herself. ASTONISHING ALIBI By a process of elimination, the police rounded up Tita's former circle of friends until they hit upon an architect named Liviu 'Ciulley. Ciulley had once been on the point of marrying Tita and she had jilted him for the diplomat. Insanely jealous, it seemed likely that Ciulley had decided he would rather see Tita dead than married to another man. In vain the architect protested that he had still loved the girl, and he offered to pay the fees and ex- penses of a Scotland Yard detective to investigate the mystery. He was put on trial for murder, but the po- lice had arrested the wrong man. A jury found Ciulley innocent. The murdered hs gone uncaught. There was a similar dead end in the case of Johann Molnar, of Buda- pest. Whoever wished to kill Mol- nar laid his intended victim out one evening, plied him with drink, and then returned him to his own door- step. There Molnar lay snoring soundly. | The murdered stuffed a carrot and two small chips of carrot into the unconscious man's mouth and nos- trils and crept away. Try as they will, the police have been unable to trace the man with 'whom Molnar spent his last evening. All Molna:'s friends proved an alibi. The killer tas covered his tracks. At last one suspect of the year may have saved himself from the gallows by having an astonishing alibi--that of killing his man be- fore a throng of spectators. At a rifle meet in Hungary, Ivan Ramoff wagered that he could hit an apple placed on the head of a crony, Josef Skoll. at a distance of 100 feet. Fir- ed by gibes, Skoll accepted the chal- lenge. ! No sooner had he poised himself with the apple than Ramoff took aim, fired, and Skoll fell to the ground with a bullet through his temple. FIFTY SUSPECTS 3 If this broad-daylight shooting was accidental, Ramoff was liable to no more than a few years' im- prisonment for manslaughter. If Ramoff killed with malice afore- thought he must face the exreme penalty. Supposing Ramoff wanted Skoll out of the may, coudl he be sufficiently cumming to perform an act of murder under the cloak of manslaughter ? That is the open question over which Hungarian law- vers are wrangling. : If it is true ichewing gum will cure sea sickness, there must be an GOLDEN VALLEY Mr. James Anderson and his bro- ther, Mr. Frank Anderson of Kin- cade, Sask., spent Tuesday with Mr. W.

Our present day civil law is bas- ed to a large extent on the code of laws compiled by the famous Ro- man emperor Justinian long before the Christian era dawned. The Romans built military roads that have withstood the weather and time for over 1500 years which fact puts modern concrete highways to shame. $f TELEPHONE TALKS IN Habit The Watson playing you in touch friends -- the telephone -- they Long Distance; for Long Distance is a habit with the Watson family -- an inex- pensive habit that saves anxiety and helps keep the family together. phone extend your heriZun beyond your immediate neighbourhood.
