Pl.ir.nlMK Mi ni'ti.al Old friends In Mtjunt Forest are in- terested to know that several repre- sentative citizens of Owen Sound are anxious that the name of the lat? J. C. Telford, who died so suddenly on Jan- uary 30 last, in tha'. city, should live in | the annals of Its good men, as exempli- fying the best there is in clean athle- tics and sport which he loved so well.

This the committee thought, could be best ef- fected by furnishing and endowing in perpetuity a ward In the General & Marine Hospital, Owen Sound. The Initial cost of this would be approxim- ately $250 and an endowment of $500 would take care of future maintenance.

I', was evidently the work of :,cme person or persons who had very shortly before visited the place, as no attempt was made to raise the window, through which an entrance was gained, but by using a Jack knife, the utslde retaining part of the window sash was removed. The window was solidly braced on the Inside, and could not be pried up. Mr. Prank Heisz, manager of the brewery, upon his arrival on Wednesday morning noticed the open window, and after checking up the loss, notified the Provincial constables of the occurrence. A few minutes later, the brewery was visited by Mr. McClana- hnn, a member of the Liquor Control Board and an Inspector, who happened to be on Inspection tour at the time. No trace of the burglars has yat been discovered. Mlldmay Gazette. Expressing regret ,at the larfro number of lives RBcrif icc-d to the speed of automobiles, Premier (leorge S. Henry, addressing the Boiivd of Trade at Toronto, threw out a warning to unto manufacturers that perhaps in the near future provernorg would be n part of nil motors. There is no possible manner In which the selling price of farm products can be guaranteed, and the sooner one recognizes this the better, was the finding of R. A. Blair of the Purina Company when he gave a short talk to a representative group of farmers at the farm of Wesley Smith, lour miles east of Plesherton. Monday after- noon. Mr. Blair declared this to be an unchangeable situation, and at the low prices at which larm products were being sold, there was only one thing to be done by the fanner who wished to cash in on his labor and investment "That," said Mr. Blair, "is to decrease the cost of producing by scientific anc intelligent feeding." The particular subject under discus- sion was the raising of hogs, and it was for this purpose that the gathering of representative fanners from Bruce and Grey counties had assembled on the farm of Mr. Smith, who had on exhibi- tion a litter of seven pigs which he had raised under feeding rules laid down by the Purina Company, under whoss auspices the meeting was held. Among those present at the me?tlng ! were Mr. Blair. Canadian representa- I live of the company. Toronto; C. E. j Hcrrington, in charge of the work in j Bruce, Grey and Duflerin counties, Durham; C. H. Hodge, Live Stock editor of the Ontario Farmor, and J. C. Ncale, cf the James Fisher Advertising Agency, Toronto, who handle the ad- vertising business of the Purina Co. These, augmented by editors of the local newspapers, and in the neighbor- hood of 40 farmers, as well as T. St3- wart Cccper of the Grey County De- partment of Agriculture, made up the company. Balanced Ration Pays There was nothing theoretical in the meeting. Mr. Blair opened the discus- sion with a short talk on the raising of hogs in the old way a grain ration only. He stated it was estimated that under this system it tcok approximately 500 pounds of grain and chop to pro- duce 100 pounds gain in growing hogs. Illustrating his talk with figures, he showed that at weaning time a young porker would weigh 25 pounds. It was the intention to bring these pigs along to :m average weight of 200 pounds r.irh, with a total weight of 2250 pounds at time of marketing. At C cents per 1 pound this meant a value of $135.00 to 1 the farmer. To do this it took 10.000 pounds of grain, which at one cent n pound showed a cost of $100.00 for i feed, leaving a profit of $35.00 for the farmer. This did not take carp of labor ' ' and other exppii.';?s in connection r.nd must be admitted to be a very poor return financially. Ho/fs Avcra~:d 1G3 Lbs. This was the grain-fed part, of the I discussion. The next thing was to weigh the seven hogs fed by Mr. Smith. ! Thes? hc;;.s had been fe;l fcr a few ; clays over five months, nnd n careful 1 record had been kept. They were Pur- ina-fecl hog.-,, and the result of the weighing would determine the value oft thi'i particular stock feed. Mr. Smith r.tatrd his hog.i weighed 2:3 llrs. wl:-:i weaned, and the weigh- ing, superintended by Mr. Coopei', ;i:id Wltnaa ;! by the whole gathering, rhowod a tctal cf 1,142 Ibs.. n gain of 919 !bs. The jmallr.it )K: B writhed 133 His. and the hrnvbst 101'-. and they were a healthy, clean-looking bunch of According to Mr. Stnlth'.s own figure: hp had fed 2.100 !bs. cf chop and 400 Ibs. of Pig Chow. This figured out at 229 Ibs. rf chop and 43 'i Ibs. Chow fed! for en::h 100 Ibs. Rain as compared with ' 500 Ibs. per cadi 100 lb.s. undrr the all- chop system. Brought down to dollars nnd cents, It meant that the Purlna- fed hogs were raised at a cost of $3.59 per 100 pounds against $5.00 when all grain was used, nnd on this basis would net the farmer a profit of $0.10 per hog over the old method. T. S. Cooper Spoke At this Juncture T. 8. Cooper of Mnrkdale, district representative, ad- dressed the gathering, in which he ap- pealed to the farmers to send him more Information about those farmers who had lost hairless litters this spring. He said his department was doing ev- erything In Its power to correct this condition but could do nothing without the wholehearted co-operation of the breeders. Of 112 sections In the county, he knew of no less than 312 complete litters having been lost through hair- lessness, and while the cure for this was potassium iodide, he felt his depart- ment could do considerably better work if they were kept In touch with the sit- uation by those who had suffered. Abortion In cattle was another matter dwelt on. and in this, too, he appealed for Information, stating that qucstlon- [ nnlres on this condition would be issued shortly by the department. He hoped j the fan^r.v. would co-operate by aup- plying full information and assured h. in he would then be In a much bet- ter position to do something for them. Asked as to his opinion on the ad- visability of feeding stock food In the raising of hogs, Mr. Cooper stated It had his whole-hearted support. The only hope for the farmers was in the cutting down of the cost of production, and scientific feeding would most cer. talnly do this. He was not prepared, however, to state anything further, and would not commit himself to the re- commendation of any one particulai feed. It was quite an interesting gathering, .ind those who took time off to attend, especially those directly Interested in the raising of hogs, must have been well repaid for their time and trouble.
