Dentistry
For Hogs
Pigs are born with eight
sharp, needle-like black teeth.
Unless removed, these teeth
can irritate the sow or cause
injury to other pigs in the litter
during the nursing period, says
J. G. Norrish, department of
animal husbandry, Ontario
Agricultural College, Guelph,
These teeth should, there-
fore, be clipped off at birth
by using clean sharp cutting
pliers, The job must be done
carefully so that the gums are
not injured, thus avoiding pos-
sible places for infection.

Hogs are more sensitive to
heat than any other farm ani-
mal, but shade arrangements
don't have to be elaborate to
keep them gaining.
W. H. Dunlop (left), R.R. 1, Arcona, talks to neighbour, Delos Utter, beside field given
split application of Atrazine. Mr. Dunlop has a three -fold interest in weed control: as
u farmer, a custom sprayer and as weed inspector for Lambton County.
Split application of Atrazine
makes corn growing profitable
on land heavily infested with quack grass
"Neighbours of mine had to give up growing cereal crops
because the farm was getting so dirty with quack grass,"
Mr. W. H. Dunlop of Arcona, reports. "Last year they
planted 48 acres of this dirty land to corn. We applied a
split application of Atrazine, the equivalent of 3 lbs. of
Atrazine 65W on the first of April, which was ploughed in,
and another 3 lbs, early post -emergent. The Lambton
County Soil & Crop Improvement Association supervised
this test. The result of the Atrazine application was that
my neighbours harvested an excellent crop in spite of the
dry season,,and grossed $5,000 from the 48 acres.
"Withoi;•t Atrazine it would not be possible for many
farmers in -this area to grow corn," Mr. Dunlop says.
"Shortage of labour for cultivations, combined with
serious weed problems, would put them out of business.
Atrazine repays its cost many times over. After seeing the
results of split applications on heavy quack grass infes-
tations, I would say it is almost a miracle chemical."
Alrazine 65W is available in 5 Ib. bags and 50 Ib. cartons from farm supply dealers
for good farming

PAY-OFF
The New CO-OP Pasture Ration supplements the pasture
feeding of dairy cows in production. Lush spring pasture
provides bulk and protein but does not supply sufficient energy
to maintain body weight and maximum production.
It's the extra energy in CO-OP Pasture Ration that enables
you to get the most from your pasture and from your herd at
the time when production is cheapest and later when pastures
are drier.
The Co-op can also use your grain to give you this ration.
Discuss this Pasture Program with your local Co-op.

Blue -Devil Chicory
Foun. on Roadsides
Also known as coffee -weed,
blue daisy or blue devil, chic-
ory is found along roadsides
and in meadows or pastures.
While it seldom thrives in cul-
tivated land, at times it does
become a problem.
A biennial or short-lived
perennial, it may grow up to
four or five feet high and seems
to like high -lime soils. It's
conspicuous, with large blue
flowers that open in the morn-
ing and usually close by mid-
day. It is easy to identify dur-
ing its flowering period from
July to October.
If chicory has become a pro-
blem in cultivated land, the
use of a rotation with a row -
crop before seeding down for
hay or pasture is of value.
In waste land or grass past-
ures 12 ozs. of 2,4-D acid as
ester per acre applied in late
spring or towards the end of
September or early October
will give control.
In forage stands containing
alfalfa or trefoil use 16 to 20
ozs. of 2, 4 -DB as ester in 20
gallons of water when the weeds
are in the rosette stage in early
spring or apply in the fall, in
late September or early Octo-
ber.
If the forages consist of
pure stands of or mixtures con-
taining red or alsike clover use
16 to 24 ozs. of MCPB as so-
dium salt instead of 2, 4 -DB. Do
not use 2, 4 -DB or MCPB treat-
ments if the crop is intended
for seed production later in the
season,

the use of chemicals for weed
control obtain a copy of Publi-

Weed Control. This publication

YOU NEED SHUR-GA1N
Pasture Dairy Ration 4
Despite the fact dairy cattle were fed well all
winter they could lose weight if fed only lush,
green pasture. Pastures are high in protein but
low in carbohydrates and energy.
SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY RATION is high
in carbohydrates and thus provides the energy
lacking in lush green pastures. Maintain your
herd production throughout the early growing
Season with SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY
RATION.
