Brenda and Beryl came to Canada in 1040. While•here they found a job for their father and a new hoine for tarrd17. The trick was to get the rest of the family over. The letter to the tZitteen solved that problem. Not very long ago, before balanced feeding became a generally accepted practice, farmers used to think that they had accomplished something pretty wonderful if they got their hogs ready for market in 6 to 61/2 months, Today feeders who are using scientifically formulated SHUR-GAIN Hog Feeds, are consistantly marketing their hogs at 51/2 months and getting a high percentage of Grade A's too. SAVE FEED It requires 1100 pounds of grain alone to bring one hog to market weight, 650 pounds of grain plus 50 pounds of SHUR-GAIN Hog Concentrate will do the same job for you. This represents a saving of 450 pounds of grain on every hog you market. SAVE MONEY By feeding SHUR-GAIN Hog Feeds you are going to save time and feed which means you are going to save money.

It was cold in Winnipeg, frigid in Regina and quite pleasant in. Calgary. A chino* had come swiftly down across Alberta wiping out the snow and leaving a soft touch in the air, He was plum-faced but leathery with keen eyes and as lie talked he kept turning around and looking out the window at the clear sky and the wisp of cloud hovering off in the distance.. He talked about many things, prompt ted by my visit from Ontario to recall how he had gone ,west so many years before, He came as an immigrant boy from Ireland to a farm in Bruce county. There was little adventure in milking cows and the round of work embracing the seasons. Saving up from his eight dollars a month he took a day coach west and landed eventually in Southern Alberta. These were the frontier days of the bad-men and the early ranchers and the cowboys and the enmity be- tween sheep-men and cattle-men. Per- sonally; he liked cattle and he started on a ranch. Listening to him was like opening the pages of an adventure story. In a little cow-town in Southern Alberta he got a job setting type for a frontier editor. Later he opened a newspaper of his own. There was lots of news but telling it was a different story, When twelve husky cowboys ignited by frontier whiskey went galloping down the Main street with blazing Colts a man had to dive for safety. in the same way you ducked a tornado in Kansas. Later on he became Magistrate, dis- pensing justice in an unorthodoxway. It was strictly not the sort of justice governed by the precedent of law- books. Common-sense was the rule of the day. One of his best stories con- cerned a character with too much liq- uor who shot up the local hotel. The fine was a dollar and the magistrate, seeking to learn the source of supply of bootleg whiskey asked the condem- ned man, as they had a drink together after court closed, where he obtained it. The character replied, "Up in the foothills from an Indian and you know it was the dangedest stuff I've ever tasted. It was like drinking forty mil- es of barbed wire." Stories of cuttle-rustling and sum- mary justice at the end of a rope and the lusty men of the West came tum- bling from the lips of this prominent bt.tinesS-tnaii. It seemed strange but he told me of his ranch he still keeps and he seemed prouder of the cattle running on it, than of the books of his company. We got in his car and rode up on top of the bluff overlooking the city. He looked off through the clear, sun- sparkled air and I saw following his glance the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies, What he said then I'll never forget . . "No wonder the people of the Old World want to come out here. It's big and clean and sort of well, fun if you want to call it that," MEAT BOARD REPORTS SIX YEARS' EXPORTS Although the British through their government and press have frequently expressed appreciation for Canada's wartime meat shipments, few Canad- ians have any conception of the magni- tude of the quantity of meats they have sent to the Motherland, Only recently has L.
