AVEDNESDAY. AUCIST 29. l'J34 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Profitable Hog Feeding' Business Is Now Moving Upward ,-♦ At ' !io Uoiiiiiiion Ex|H.Tiiiu'ntal Sta- tic u. 1' loUtTicton, N. B., experimeiitii ive btifi) carried on to dftcrmine the w«lut», when fed to hojfs, of feed^' commonly jiroducod on the farm. Po- tatoes, skim-milk and oats wert- tht main feeds under consideration. Hogrs which were fed on a mixture of grain;, mill feeds and milk were com- pared with hogs fed largely on a mix- ture of crushed oats, middlings, po- tatoes and milk. Two lots were Kiarlod on cooked potatoes, meal and milk and fini.shed on raw potatoes, meal and milk. Potatoes were fed at the rate of 4 pound.*! to 1 pound of meal. All loLs made equally good gains during the first sixty days of the feeding period. The hogs receiving raw polatoeis during the .fliaishing period required twelve days longei to fini.sh than the meal fed lots but a :i>nsiderable saving in meal was ob- tained in the potato fed lots. The carca.s8es were .scored similar to those in advanced registry and there was no significant difference in the carcasses of hogs from any group. In this tost, 5.li5 pounds of potatoes replaced 1 pound of meal. V'aluing the meal at $1.40 per hundred, the potatoes were worth 26 cents per nlhidred as feed. More satisfactory results are obtained when the potat- '^es are cooked befcre feeding as po- "'^tof'^ ipCw'orth only two-thirds as much raw &t, when cooked. Cooked potatoes would therefore have a value of 39 cents per hundred. At the present value of pork, feeds marketed i through hogs return a handsome pro- fit and a market is created for feeds whicTi might otherwise be wasted. Hogs on Advanced Registry at the Dominion Experimental Station, at Fredericton, N. B., are now being fed grains and a protein supplement with- out any skim-inilk. It has been dem- onstrated that hogs will make e(|ually good gains when fed a pra^ein sup- plement other than ftkini mHlf. This is of particular intefeipt to farmers having a supply of Kc^ns and potat- oes, but little or no skim nUlk. Hank Stalcnit'iit Shows That I'lic Tide Has Turned -Xnd lUisiiicss Is Improvinj^ ^P5© If you need a holiday and think '7'^V*you lan't afford it read the following ~7r thught-provoking few lines by Roe .*. "t Fulkenscn:: "If you keep your nose to the grindstone rough, and hold it down there long enough you'll soon forget that there are such things as a brook that babbles, a bird that .sings â€" ju.it three things will your wcrld compose: yourself, the stone, and your darn old nose." Jn its monthly business summary the Bank of Montreal says the u\y ward trend of business in Canada con- tinues in evidence, with customary midsummer slackness in some lines ol industrial and mercantile movement. Favorable symptoms in recent weeks have been the upswing in employ- ment, increased retail sales,, the buoy- ancy of foreign trade a"d public rev enues, and improved wheat and grain prices. Crop prospects engage primary attention at this time by reason of tlieir material bearing upon the general condition of trade and v.liik' an abundant harvest will not be reaped, a fair crop of farm and field stuff seemed assured. The southern section.s of the Prairie Prov- inces have suffered again from short- age of moisture, but in central and northern parts fair to good grain yields are expected and prospects promise a heavier yield than last year. Wheat production in Canada in loss was 269,729,000 bushels, and in 1932 was 413,001,000 bushels, and the average price per bushel G7 cents and 54 cents respectively. During the present year the price has ruled substantially higher and the prevail- ing price at .Winnipeg is above that of the same date la.st year. Should this price be maintained, the grain growers of the Canadian West should receive substantially larger monetary return than in the last three years. (;ven though quantity production b mod"rate. xNORTHERN BL'SINESS COLLEGE Fall term opens Sept. 3rd at the Northern Business College, Owen Sound.

THE PROPER CARE OF YOUR AUTOMOBILE Selecting the Right Polish IN the first article it was told how many motorists mafco the mistake of believing that their cars must be re-finished when the finish becomes dull and faded. In restoring the color and gloss of ths finish, how- ever, it is important that the right polishing material be solectcJ. There is little advantage, for in- stance, in using an oily polish, he- cause it doesn't remove the traffic film, but only forms an oil film over it. The best results are obtained by the use of a polish which contains a mild solvent to soften the traffic 'film, and a light abrasive to clear av.'ay the chalked pigment and dirt. When they start cleaning their cars, many people become alarmed when tlicy see color coming away on the cloth. They assunw that the polish is too severe, and will wear away the finish on the car. But there is nothing to fear when the properly formulated polish is used. The color on the cloth' simply indicates that the tiny particles of pigment, loosened by the weather- ing:, are bcins: removed with the traffic film. This chalked pigment and accumulation of dirt and gnease must be removed to uncover t)he hard live lacquer beneath.
