ItSf Rate And Economy 01 Gains By Pigs < Exp«rim«nUl Farms Note) Th« marketin£> of hogs only wb«n they have reached the correct weii^a of from 200 to 230 pounds at tha farm, and have acquired the proper finish is one of the greatest problema of oar bacon indostry. The market- ing of ligrht weight and unfinished, â-  and overweight, heavy hogs cauM* a very large annual loss to our farm- era. Equally important is the fact that the poor grade bacon produced from these hogs is a constant menace to die standing of Canadian bacon on the British marketL Experiments at the Dominion Ex- pervmental Station, LACombie, havie shown that it pays to feed hogs well from the time they are weaned and to market as aoon aa they are ap to the proper wei^t and finish. Growtii and feeding data on lOd bogs show that as the hogs grew older they re- quired more and more feed for 100 pounds of gain, with a resultant in- crease in the cost of gain. The pigs weighed an average of 31.7 pounds at the weaning age of sixty days. The gr^owth and feeding data were taken at thirty-day inter- vals thronghout the life of the hogs and the results point out several facts of great importance to the pork pro- ducer. It lequired 319 pounds of grain to prodtKe one hundred poondh of gain for the first thirty days, 375 pounds for the second thirty days, 378 pounds for the third thirty days, and 442 pounds for the last thirty-eight days, the average requirement for the total period being 392 pounds of grain per one hundred pounds of gain. The average daily gain per hog started at 0.87 pounds for the first th^y days, 1^14 pounds ftor the second thirty days, 1.51 pounds for the third thirty days, and 1.62 pounds for the last thirty-eight days, the average daily gain for the full period being 1.31 pounds. Feeders are frequently misled by the gains made by their hogs when about 220 pounds in weight. Because they are making more rapid gains than when they are younger and smaller, they believe they are making cheaper gains. It is true that they Afe m>ilr'"e' greater gains but each pound is put on at greater cost than when they are younger. With a steadily increasing cost per pound of gain for pigs over 220 pounds in weight and a heavy cut for "heavy" hogs it does not pay to .feed hogs after they are up to proper •weight and finish. Similarly with a heavy cut in the price of light weight, unfinished hogs, which pro- .duce a low grade quality of bacon it pays to feed pigs well until the proi>et â- ; weights and finish are reached. -FIRST PARENTS ADVANTAGES Eve never fretted O'er how she was dressed.

This statement BUggesta, very ri^iitly, that every severe paroxysm of dif^ult breath- ing is not trtie asthma. Attacks of this type may result from any oli- stmetion or preaaore which praventa the free flow of air in the lungs from the larger to the •mallest of the bronciiial tabes. Asthma and hay ferer are similai conditiona. The effects of hay feret are confined to the eyes and soae, while asthma involves the broaehial tubes. The cause is freqxiently the same â€" a hyperseneitivenesa to certaia proteins or allergens. Aa asthnatie person is an allergic person. The proteins or allergens which cause the troabl« are found in dust House dust is composed largely of materials of animal origin, coming from such articles as feather pillows, carpets and wooUens. .When these ire breathed in, they may carry the material to which the individaal is hypersena itive. Some people develop asthma because they react to certain foods, such as cereals, eggs, strawberries, fruits and nuts. Indeed, the list of foods which may be responsible is a very long one, because most foods contain some veg- etable or animal protein. Other cases arise out of a hypersensitive condition to the bacteria or germs which may be lodged in nose, throat or teeth. Attacks of asthma are particularly distressing: and alarm those who have not previously witnessed a severe at- tack. T^ere is no need for alarm in so far as the attack is concerned, be- cause the attacks are not fatal. In the asthmatic who is emotional, it is desirable to avoid excitement and to maintain a quiet manner of life. From what has been said, it is ob- vious that the hope of cure depends upon finding the protein or proteins to which the individual is hypersensi- tive, and then to overcome the con- dition by appropriate treatment, or to avoid the responsible protein by omitting it from the diet Cases should come under treatment early because of the damage that may be done during the course of the dis- ease. Every person suffering from asthma should seek his own ciire, under the guidance of his family doctor, following with patience and diligence the treatment that is pre- scribed for him- f. M. S.

OFFICERS OF EUGENL\ L.O.L- All truckers handling livestock are required by Government regulations under which their licenses are issued to furnish farmers w^ith bills of lading on livestock shipments. Many farm- ers are not aware of this regulation or the protection it affords them and many cases come to light where live- stock shipperes have suffered loss through not insisting on a bill ol lading from the trucker who hauls his stock to market. Under the Highways Act, every trucker transporting livestock for hire is required under his P.C.V. license to fiimi5»h a bill of lading to the shipper. The Regulation affords the producer an opportunity of determin- ing to whom his liw-stock is sold. In any case it assures the shipper that he will get his money and a full and correct statement from the purchaser to whom the trucker delivers his load. These regulations do not apply to farmers transporting their own live- atock nor to drovers who purchast outright from the farmer and trans- port their purchases to market.

M.4KSIED IN JAIL ".\ young man who had been sen- tenced to six years in penitentiary for a hold-op was married in the police court to a young woman who id also in jaiL Possibly the youajf man thought he would hke to make sure that the woman would be wait- ing for him when he is released. Possibly the young womaa thought chat if she became his wife it would be an incentive to go straight after they ultimately are able to start life together. In either ease this sort of wedding will not appeal to many people. Eogenically it is all wrong. .\ man with a criminal record is marrying a giri whe, to say the least, was keeping bad company. If there is anything rn heredity, the outlook for this couple's family is not good either for themselves »r for society. â€" St. Thomas Timea-Joamid. TUBNIP8 FOB SHEEP In Canada many gocceuful shae| raisers feed turnips to their sheepii The ezeeUeoes of many pure-brs4 flocks in which international pnx« winners are reared is in great meas- ure due to the liberal use of succulent foods, and no other green crop is so generally used as turnips in the wiof ter season. Apart from their food constituents, turnips have a wonder- ful effect in maintaining a vigorous condition, of the digestive organs and general system. Young lamhe bora in the winter or early spring ar* greatly beneficed by liberal feedings of finely sliced turnips until grass arrives. Previoos to l a mbin g, ewea should not be heavily fed upon tnmipa or other roots, from 4 to S pooiula per day being very beneficial; a larg- er quantity is liable to cause abnorm- ally large, soft lambs, deficient is vitality. a a ft oad^ssa â- >6a*daaao^a**»»»^ % Best Wishes To Our Customers The spirit of the New Y«ir would be missed entirely if we did not express a "thank you*' to those who have helped us with their patronage.
