HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1945-03-15, Page 5LOCAL AND PERSONAL These little pigs won't be ready for market for a few weeks Yet—but with all the fine growthy development they're showing,now,--it won't be long till they're on their way to Britain as Select Grade Wiltshires — to boost the reputation for Canadian Bacon that Canadian Farmers have been building on the overseas market for the past five years. Well-informed hog growers know that careful feeding of the young pigs, from the first nibble they take, makes the difference between economical gains that ensure profits, and unprofitable, long-term feeding. Baby pigs will start to look around for solid food at three weeks of age. If you don't give them their own, they'll try their mother's ration. Then is the time toget them feeding right—which means creep feeding of SHUR-GAIN Pig Starter—the baby pig feed that has the well-balanced content of proteins, min- erals and vitamins that are needed by every young pig. SHUR.-GAIN 18% Pig Starter costs you les,s—because we make it FRESH at our own milk-which means tremendous savings in trucking and handling that are passed along to you in better quality feed at lower cost!
