is also a corrective, if used soon en-
ough after anemia develo'ps. There
are two convenient forms of iron —
reduced iron or powdered ferrous 'sul-
phate—either of which may be used.
These can be procured at a drug store.
Treat the little pigs when a day old
by putting on the tongue of each as
much of the iron compound as may
be held on a small five-gent piece.
The treatment should be repeated
when the little pigs are a week old
and again at two weeks of age. Once
the pigs start to eat solid food the
danger from anemia is practically
past, and thus, creep feeding of the
HMI-, starting at about three weeks
of age, is good practice.
Eve.ry extra pig raised in the litter
reduces the unit cost of the pigs and
should increase the profit from the
litter. Since the treatment is so
simple and anemia can be so easily
controlled, it is good business to treat
every winter little with iron even 'al-
though they look healthy.
„HAPPY LANDINGS
FOR BOMBERS
Or The Largest Airplane Tires Ever
Made in Canada
You dread a blowout in a car! Then
just imagine how a bomber pilot must
feel 'as he slows down to a landing
speed of ninaty miles and eases at
least seven tons of fllying machine to
earth. One his tires depend the lives,
-of five, highly tiained men, and hun-
elred of 'thousands of dollars worth of
metal and delicate instruments. Nat-
wally those tires have to be good . . .
they must be perfect.
Here's what goes into their manu-
facture at the B, F. Goodrich plant
',at • Kitchener, Ontario, where those
;giant 56-inch bomber tires are now
'being made . . . the largest tires made
in Canada!
Each tire contains 107.75 pounds of
Tubber,- 11.27 pounds of 2,960 feet of
'bead wire, and 161,703 feet of single
.cords of cotton. If it were possible
to stretch these cotton cords. into a
.single line, 'it would extend 31 miles
. : practically the full distance of
the Queen Elizabeth Way from Tor-
onto city limits to Hamilton.
Each tire has 16 plies or four times'
as Many as that of the average motor
Vehicle. Both tires and tubes are bal-
anced. Some '75 different pigments
and chemicals go into their manufac-
ture,'
Each tire has a carrying capacity of
ten tons at an inflation pressure of
-65 pounds per square inch. 'And the
circumference of these 56-inch tires,
when inflated, is 1761/2 inches or 14.7
:feet. Comparae this With the inflated
over all diameter of many passenger
'car tires, which is 28,39, inches. It's
aasy to realize why .only 82 of these
"big bomber tires can be stored into
an ordinary freight car of 30,000

Canada farmers to use chemical fert-
ilizers on certain specific "war crops."'
In other Words, the government will
pay part of the farmers' fertilier pill
as a subsidy on crops providing feed
for live stock and poultry.
The farmer must guarantee that any
-fertilizer obtained under the subsidy
will be used only on pastures; clover,
alfalfa and grass hay crops; field corn
for ensilage or husking; spring wheat,
oats, barley and spring mixed grains
for grain production; mange's and tur-
nips for feeding live stock. The regu-
lations provide penalties for use of
subsidized fertilizer on crops Other
than the above war crops.
Subsidies will be paid on purchases
of not less than one-quarter ton of
any one hind or analysis of fertilizer
and not more than five tons to any
one farmer who must buy for his own
use and not for resale.
There are six ,different combinations
of fertilizers eligible for purchase as
well as fertilizer chemicals. The
amount of subsidy is based on 40
cents per unit'of nitrogen and 20 cents
per unit each of phorphoric acid and
potash, For example; a farmer buying
a ton of feitilizer containing 2 per
cent nitrogen, 12 per cent phosphoric
acid and 6 per cent potash, will have
$4.40 deducted from the net cash price
by the vendor who will be reimbursed
by the government.
The may be obtained only
through fertilizer manufacturers, their
agents or dealers„' These dealers have
forms which must be filled out by
them and signed by• the purchaser.
Farmers who wish -to take advant-
age of the subsidy and who want fur-
ther information should write E. K.
Hamoson, Provincial Supervisor of
Subventions, Dept. of Agriculture,
Parliament Buildings, Toronto, or con-
sult their nearest Agricultural Repre-
sentative. Fertilizer dealers in each
district also have copies of the regu-
lations.
TIRE QUIZ'
Question And Answers Which An
Average Car Or Truck Owner May
Ask About Tires And Ho4,; To
Conserve Them
Storage of Tires and Tubes
1. Q. Where should extra tires be'
kept.—attic, basement or garage?
A. Tires should be kept in a cool,
dry, dark place, being particular to
keep them of of sunlight.
2. Q. Will my tires deteriorate if
they are not used more or less fre-
quently.?
A. 'Some deterioration or ageing
will take place but not sufficient \to be
serious if proper air pressure is main-
tained. This keeps the tire in its prop-
er shape or contour. The above does
not apply to vehicles that may be laid
up for several months at a time.
3, Q. Should I jack my car up if I
use it only once a week or .so?
A. If correct inflation pressure is
maintained, the advantage secured by
jacking the car up for such short per-
iods is probably not worth the effort.
4. Q. Should I jack -any car up if
I do not expect to use it fo1i2. several
'months?
A. Yes. Under such conditions
the tires should be relieved of the load
of th6 vehielee The inflation pressure
should be reduced to about half of
what is normally carried. '.,his will
take an additional strain off the tire
and yet keep it to the proper shape or
contour,
5, Q. Will rubber tire paint help
preserve my tires?
A. If tires are not in frequent
use, rubber tire paint will retard age-
ing effects, but under existing condi-
tions it is doubtful whether rubber tire
paint 'will be available.
6. Q. Is the practice.of cars of recent
manufacture of carrying spare tire in
trunk compartment advantageous in
preventing deterioration of tires, as
compared with previous practice of
carrying the spare exposed to the ,ele-
ments?
A. Carrying the spare tire in the
trunk compartment —especially away
from direct exposure to sunlight, is
definitely advantageous.
7. Q. Will it 'be desirable for me to
remove my spare tire from my car and
store it at home, under better storage
conditions?
A. It'is not desirable to operate
a car Without a spare tire unless you
are prepared to make a tire change

or tube patching kit, a boot for cover-
iag any injury to The casing, and

WHAT DO THE HYBRID
CORN TESTS TELL
(Experimental Firms -News)
For the past three years the Dom-
inion Experimental Station at Harrow
has been conducting standardized hy-
brid corn tests. The locations of these
tests have been dhosen se that ,the
response of the different hybrids to
the varying soil type's and growing
conditions might be studied. The in-
formation so far gathered is sufficient
to give a fairly clear picture of the
types of hybrids required.
A hybrid is responsive to differences
insoil conditions, and therefore its
range of adaptability is somewhat
limited. To get the best results it
is 'necessary to choose a hybrid that
is suitable to the soil and climatic
"conditions of the area in which it is
to be grown, says Dr. G. F. H, Buck-
ley, Dominion Experimental Station,
Harrow, Ont.
The hybrids which have been includ-
ed in the tests range,in maturity from
very early to very late types. Both
the early and the late hybrids are
found to be unsuited to the husking
corn area. In Lambton, western Mid-
dlesex, and Elgin counties, early mat-
uring hybrids are required for satis-
factory ear production. Later hybrids
are unsafe, for' the ears carry too
much moisture at harvest time for
safe cribbing. Throughout Kent and
Essex counties the medium maturing
hybrids will ripen well. This group
of hybrids has the widest range of
adaptability of any. In Essex County
and western Kent the late hybrids
may be used profitably, provided the
planting is done sufficiently early, but,
if June .plantings must,be made, they
will seldom reach a satisfactory stage
of maturity.
As a class, the hybrids show much
less tendency to lodge than the open-
pollinated 'varieties; yet among the
hybrids the degree of 'lodging will
vary considerably. Some hybrids
showed little or no lodging in any of
the tests, while others lodged only in
one or a few tests. A few showed a
lodging tendency in all of the tests.
These differences in behaviour are due
to inherent differences or to differ-
ences in soil conditions, or both.
There is a marked difference among
the' hybrids in the way the ears are
carried. Some carry their ears on
very short shanks, while on others the
ear shanks are long and drooping.
Hybrids of the latter type are not as
desirable if the crop is to be harvest-
ed with a mechanical picker, for many
of the ears are knocked to the ground
in the process.
The hybrid tests disclose how the
many hybrids respond to the condi-
tions under which they are grown, and
the information gathered enables rec-
ommendations to be made. Farmers
are advised to enquire from their',
nearest Experimental Station or Agri-
cultural Representative about the hy-
brids best suited to their particular
localities.

Canada Contributes Her Share To
Naval War
It is frequently stated that the Naval
Service has a long waiting list of vol-
unteers. This is true with regard to
certain branches, and within certain
areas.
In the London and Western Ont-
ario districts, served by H.M.C.S.
"Prevost" (Loudon Division), there is
an immediate opportunity for young
men of enlistment age, They may
join as Ordinary Seamen, after the
age of 171/2 . For the benefit of these
melt living out of town, arraugements
have been made to enlist them at once
and return them to their homes until
called. When they wish, they arc put
on full pay with allowances.
Urgent need is felt iii other
branches of die Service. Young men
to serve as 'Cooks, not necessarily fully
experienced, but those with a liking
for this work, are able to go on pay
immediately, They will learn a profit-
able trade. Stewards 'are being called

PREVENTION OF AN-
EMIA IN YOUNG PIGS
(Experimental Farms News)
Anemia. in young pigs can be so
easily prevented that it is good man-
agement to take proper control meas-
ures with all early litters, The treat-
ment is simple and cheap, says E. B.
Fraser, Division of Animal Husbandry,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
Anemia results from a lack of iron,
and generally affects little pigs be-
tween the ages of 2 and 5 weeks, The
Symptoms are easily recognized, the
most .noticeable being a pale, pasty
white appearance, particularly in the
ears. The affected pigs are generally
listless, diarrhoea is common, and the
hair has a rough, starey appearance.
To avoid „alleluia in little pigs, pre-
vention really starts with the proper
feeding of the brood sow. Good- feed-
big of the sow during the winter
months should result hi strong, heal-
thy pigs which will have some reserve
to help carry them over the danger

sows and litters provide some insur-1
;ince against anemia, and as an added
precaution, the' sods can be sprinkled
with a solution of ferrous sulphate

To make rubber gloves wear longer,
don't wear them to polish brassware

A final comparison between this
huge giant among tires and the small-
est tire made by B, F. Goodrich is
somewhate startling, The tiny tire
is the tail wheel tire for the Harvard
Trainer ,and it has only 171/2 feet of
bead wire as against the bomber tire's
2,906 feet, and only 3/8 of a mile of
cord compared to the 31 miles in the
bomber tire. The total weight of the
Harvard Trainer's tail wheel tire is
less than 3 pounds, The big 56- inch-
er weighs 200 pounds.
If you examine the 'illustration,
you'll notice that the Silvertown
bomber tire is smooth 'in contour.
Most aeroplane tires have a smooth
tread because the nature or the driv-
ing force of, a 'plane (that is, 'the pro-
peller "wind pull") eliminates the . need
of traction quality. Also, a tread that
has a moulded .design may pick up
small stones and sticks which tend to
eat and chip more easily than if the
tire were smooth' or 'bald headed".
