However, Mr. Presant explains that hay will be »ffected by the price ceiling just as the prices of all other commodities going into consumer consumption. The rrice of havy which will preâ€" vail from December 1 forward wm! be governed by the prices at which it sold during the basic peried, September to October 11, as laid down by the Wartime Prices and Control Board. That fiprice will of necessity vary in difféerent localiâ€" ties but will be governed by the| general rule afledintoall ceiling prices and cannot go above these. \ The Wartime Prices and Control) Board has announced that a normal| flow of goods is of greatest irnport-{ ance and the le of Canuda‘ have been ukes to co-ogente to the fullest extent in making this possible. This applies to the moveâ€" ment of hay to consumers as well) as to other materials and products.| In many districts of Ontario and Quebec hay and other roughages for livestock were short crops. In nthers there is a surplus of hay for sale. In past years farmers who had hay for sale may have been[ inclined to keep it in their own mows with the natural hope that they would get better prices later ‘n the season. Arcording to reports reaching F. W. Presant, Feed Conâ€" ‘roller, this is already happening this year. Buyers of hay, that is, farmers who had a short crop beâ€" cause of the drought, operators of lumber camps where hay is needed for horses, and businesses in cities which use horses for delivery work are buying hay to meet their nresent requirements. ' Trading in young pigs was very slow, with a large number of these ‘onlund Pfloub:lt“.oo:“‘:jo were demanded, very few â€" }mhchnn;odhamh. There was a brisk market for chunks, but very few of these were offered. Those on hand brought from $10 to $11 depending upon size. Last mosth‘s prices on suckers werelu‘:‘etthanthnncuredthk month, t the prices of chunks was higher this month. k Business Thrives The auction sale stands did a thriving business. One truckload of â€" furniture from _ Kitchener brought $130, and at one stand more than $500 worth of used furâ€" niture and farm goods changed hands. It was perhatmduetothe heavy fall of snow t there was such a demand for cutters and sevâ€" vided with good grains and protein concentrates, crippling sometimes Aevelops. This condition, the sympâ€" toms of which are stiffness and soreness of the joints, is often ~aused by rickets, a bone disease. Rickets may result from either a lack of the bone ptoducins minerâ€" als, or insufficient vitamin D for the absorption of those minerals in the body. Rickets is most common in winter feeding when the pigs get very little, if any, direct sunlight. As a corrective for rickets and even to safeguard against it, the use of a vitamin feeding oil is reâ€" rommended. The (eedin% oils vnrly in potency, but if a standard qual -‘ ity feeding oil is used, one tableâ€" spoonful per pig daily will be sufâ€" ficient. Hay Situation And Price Ceiling Crowd at Elmira December Pig Fair eral good cutters were sold by auction. Several horses were put up for sale, but the demand for these is so poor at this time that it was impossible to sell them. A humorous note W‘I:z nd"g:d toi‘t;he sale proceedings when auctionâ€" eer who tried hard to sell one of these horses, finally gave it ur for a bad job, and less than a minute after, the owner sold the horse to a bystander. And so the auctioneer was out his commission, and the horse owner was in this amount. _ _ Handbills were distributed on for the pigs, the use of a proteinâ€" mineral concentrate will make for faster and more economical gains. The legume hays are rich in vitaâ€" mins and minerals, and so a few handfuls of good quality alfalfa or clover hay given daily to the feeder plgs help to replace the green feed which could be given them in sumâ€" perimental Farms Service. First of all, dry, draftâ€"free yuarters are essential in order that the pigs may use to advantage the feeds supplied them. A variety of irains in the feed mixtureâ€" oats, barley and wheatâ€"is the basis of zood feeding. The grains should be ground and mixed in suitable proâ€" vnortions, depending on the size and age of the pigs.
