Hensall Branch: WALTER JARRETT, Manager Lucan Brandi: , WESLEY PARKINSON, Manager IF GRANDFATHER returned today to take charge of his old farm, how surprised he would be by the changes in machinery and methods IN THE FIELDS. Machines and applications of power never seen in his farming days would make him change most of his ways doing field work. But the chances are that he would feel quite at home in the barn. He would find a few changes there, but not many; and it’s more than likely that he would pick up right where he left off, doing most of the same old chores in old way. HANDLING MORE time with less labor the constant (and profitable) aim in the fields. More and more farmers are coming to the conclusion that if they are to realize real returns from the buildings they must "farm” them with the same aim—pro­ ducing more market volume in less time with less labor. This takes thinking and planning . . . but it may prove the path to profit. PARK DISEASE germs out­ side. Cleaning and disinfecting brooder houses and farrowing pens is not enough. Disease germs "hitchhiking” on shoes must be stopped, too. A gunny­ sack pad soaked with Purina Disinfectant and placed at doorways makes a safe "park­ ing place” germs. the same in less has been for dangerous PVRlMA . CHOW I JUST SAW a report on pigs being raised at the Purina Re­ search Farm. Sows there have been weaning an average of 9.17 pigs per litter (twice a year; right along. That means Purina Sows are weaning al­ most 3 extra pigs per litter, above the average. They explain it this way: In poorly fed sows, embryo pigs are resorbed, so fewer pigs are farrowed. Then many pigs —alive at birth—are so small and weak they cannot survive. That’s why the general wean­ ing average is so low. We know a lot of local sows, conditioned on Sow & Pig Chow, are weaning big litters, too. Ever figure up what 3 extra pigs marketed per litter would do to your Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Cooper and Mrs. Donald.

ONE OF THE WORST prob­ lems we find in poultry houses we’ve visited lately is poor ventilation and danlp litter. Those houses have been kept Closed up so tight there’s no way foi* the damp air to get out, Remember that hens can stand a lot of cold as long as it’s still dry cold—not damp or drafty. ■Keep windows open a little at the top and make some sort of vent openings at the highest point in the roof. That warm damp air has to get out before it cools, condenses and begins to drip. profits? Note MANY FARMERS us about the costs ■Club calves, are they retail or wholesale prices?
