RURAL EDUCATION .
WAS DISCUSSED
The Huron-Bruce Boundary Farm
Forum held their meeting of January
8, at Mrs. Alec Campbell's with the
attendance of 18. The subject of
"Fitting Young People for Rural
Living" was discussed. The meeting
was of the opinion that the standard
of living has risen from pioneer days
therefore the little red school doesn't
seem to fit in with these days, The
subject of "Rural High Schools" was
also discussed, but it was thought
there was sufficient high schools in
our towns close enough to attend. The
remainder of the evening was spent
in playing euchre. The next meeting
will be held at Mrs, Clifford Jenkins.

Every baby pig represents a considerable investment, an investment that must
be protected. Early litters are especially in need of extra care and attention.
Here are a few tips that may save you many dollars in future Grade A hogs:
I. Keep farrowing pens clean and dry, and fit them with guard rails.
2. You can save a pig or an entire litter by attention during farrowing.
3. Prevent parasites by sanitation and treatment.
4. Treat for anaemia, beginning shortly after birth.
5. Proper feeding of the sow reduces digestive disorders.
6. Creep feeding produces thriftier pigs and prevents weaning setbacks.
SHUR-GAIN Sow Ration is formulated to nourish the sow adequately, and
provide plentiful milk for the young pigs, Sows in good health are far more
likely to have healthy pigs.
Feed the young pigs on SHUR-GAIN tl Starter, to get them used to solid food
and growing well so that weaning cau no digestive upsets or setbacks in
growth.
