To obtain such young pigs, a 'balanced ration well supple­ mented with minerals is essential. Too many losses still occur on the average farm, especially in young pigs, due chiefly to a deficiency of minerals in the ration, states U. Pilon, Live­ stock man at the Dominion Experi­ mental Station, Kapuskasing, Ont. A liberal feeding of minerals will not only prevent most of these losses but also better daily gains and a low­ er feed consumption per pound of gain will be obtained with growing and fat­ tening pigs. In hog feeding,'four mineral elem­ ents along with salt are helpful, name­ ly, calicumj phosphorus, iron and io­ dins. All other mineral elements are usually present in sufficient quantify in ordinary rations. , Pigs require less salt than cattle but nevertheless a bet­ ter utilization of feed will usualling result from its feedings. Calcium and phosphorus are also important to pre­ vent rickets, weakness, short lactation and paralysis, in hind legs with nurs­ ing sows. Furthermore, it is admit- ed today that iron is an effective rem­ edy against the all too common dis­ ease in young pigs called anaemia. Al­ so goitre and hairlessness can be eas­ ily prevented by feeding iodine to the pregnant sow. Chemical analyses have shown that the grains and their by-products are generally low in some of the essential minerals and to be sure that the ration is not deficient, it is advisable to in­ clude 3 to 4 per cent in the dry meal mixture for brood sows and 2 per- cent for all other pigs, of a commercial or a home mixed mineral mixture such as ground limestone 50 lb., bone meal 25 lb., and iodised salt 25 lb. This mixture has given excellent results at this station. Iron in the form of iron sulphate at the rate of 2 lb. in the above mixture can be fed if anaemia occurs. Another remedy for*this con­ dition is reduced iron which can be fed directly to the suckling pigs, Where a lack of iodine is evidenced by goitre or hairlessness one tea­ spoonful of the following solution (1 ounce of potassium or sodium iodide diluted in 1 gallon of water) should be fed daily to the pregnant sow in her ration. Adequate mineral feeding' costs so little that it is poor economy after all to neglect it if we consider the bene­ fit which may be gained. ’’Why won’t Mr, Mean go to his daughter’s wedding?" “He doesn’t like to have to give her away,” I Save By Buying DIRECT FROM MANUFAC­ TURER TO WEARER Repairing, Remodeling Highest Quality and Guaranteed WdftoanBmp' Famous Fur Company >**“ ***&«» w*i»» Leave for Halifax Mr. and Mrs, George Allert plan to leave this week for Halifax where they wilt join their daughter, Mrs. Mac­ Farlane and Dr., MacFarlane, who have taken a furnished home until Dr, MacFarlane leaves for overseas.

The Royal Canadian Air Force has recently inaugurated what is called a “Mobile Recruiting Plan.” Seventeen “mobile” unit's throughout Canada op­ erate from their Recruiting Centres and regularly visit cities alid towns in the district for the purpose of inter­ viewing those who are interested in joining the R.C.AjF. Twg chief factors prompted this move. The first of these was to obtain a greatly increased number of potent* ial airmen and skilled tradesmen; the other was to eliminate the necessity of prospective recruits travelling long distances to an R.C.A.F. Recruiting Centre. Gearing of the Air Training Centres of Canada to high speed made it ne* cessary to have on file a greatly aug­ mented number of prospective recruits. These are divided into two classes; (1) Air Crews, including Pilots, Air Gunners and Wireless Operators, (2) Tradesmen, including Aero-En­ gine Mechanics, Airframe Mechanics, Instrument Makers, Radio Mechanics, Cooks, Fabric Workers and other skilled tradesmen.
