A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION
In our advertising columns l;o.day
there appears an appeal which should
go straight to the heart and conscience
of every Canadian, It is made by the
Oanedian Patriotic Fund on behalf of
the families of our soldiers, and it non.

families.
Naturally the lees give to those who
ere not in actual need the more we will
have to give to ehoee who are. Arid
it is only these who are :resisted by the
Fund, Of these families of the men
who enlisted in Canadian armies, but
two out of three receive help from the
Fund. The aim of this great patriotic
organization is to supplement the
Government grant and the soldiers'
pay such eum as will maintain the
families he reacionabie comfort. To
accomplish this the enormous sum of
fourteen million dollars will have to be
raised in 1017, and of this Ontario is
being asked to contribute eix millions.
To comply with the request means
sacrifices but certainly none to compare
with those made by the women who
have sent their husbands to face the
German bullets. It should be out

INVENTS DOD FEEDER.
A greet improvement in Method of
Fscdinir Pi;ls
Mr, 1:Ienry Smith f Lietowel, has
just patented in Canada and the
United Btatee, an invention that will.
particulurty interest farmers engaged
is raising hogs.
It. is the $tnithautornatio hog.feeder.
is a simple devise, consisting of a drum,
mounted on suitably bearings which
permit easy attachment to a wall, and
on the eivilumference of whiob, are
holes from which the feed falls as the
bogs engage the feeder with their
snouts.
The object of Mr, Smith's invention
is to devise a ehnpie means for con.
trolling the amount of feed, given to
the animal, so as to prevent its eating
faster than desired, eliminating any
clanger of gorging and insuring that
the animal is kept on its feet a suffic-
ient length of time to give it the nec-
essary exercise, while obtaining food
to satisfy its hunger.
It is well known, particularly with
hogs, that when feeding, they eat too
fast and in a short space of time are
satisfied, and then lie around until the
food is digested. Iu this way they get
practically no exercise at all.
By this invention the feed of grain
can be so controlled that the pigs get
only a small quantity of feed at a time,
the boles in the drum being made
smaller as desired. This increases the
amount of exercise—especially impor-
tant to young and growing pigs.
The construction of the instrument
caters to the natural instincts of the
hog to root, emaIi wooden eluate being
placed at regular intervals on the cir-
cumference of the drum, permitting
ite being turned by the hog with com-
parative ease.
Besides providing the exercise that
eliminates crippling and being a sav-
ing and sanitary method of feeding,
Mr. Smith claims for his invention,
that it makes the hogs grow faster,
that they require less food per pound,
gain in weight and are lees subject to
disease on account of greater activity.
Emphasis is laid on the importance
of the invention by the fact that it is
the outcome of over forty years of ex-
perience by Mr. Smith in the raising
of hogs, during which period be made
a study of improved methods in feed-
ing; and he points out that though he
has }tad considerable succeee, bringing
into .Listowel in years gone by, as
many as fifty porkers at a time, aver.
aging two hundred pounds, he has
never had them do so well as the few
he is just finishing now after raising
them on the feeder.
Extensive plans for the marketing
of the invention are not yet completed,
though Mr. Smith has already been
able to fill a number of orders and
will no doubt promptly take care of
the immediate local demand, '
Because of its many worthy pinta
and being moierately priced, ite gen.
eral adoption by hog raisers, is antic-
ipated by the inventor.

A LIVELY BATTLE,
The following letter is from Lieut.

the 53rd Battalion and is now with the
machine gun company of the 10th
Oanadians, and was kindly handed to
TSD ADVANCE by Mrs, Weaver, who
is visiting at the home of her father
Mr. Hughes, near the 'Junction,

devils of Germans jump out of their
trenches with their hands up as soon
as our lade got close to ,them -they
simply cannot stand up against us
when we get near them and our artill-
ery and machine gun fire was terrible,
We put up practically a solid curtain
of fire in front of our troops to protect
them. Just to give you an idea of
what it was like, you have heard a
blizzard blowing around the corner of
a building, well it sounded exactly like
that only much stronger with the
whistling of shells and bullets 'and of
course the roar of the guns and
rattle of machine guns and I ehould
think there were easily fifty aeroplanes
overhead watching the fight and sig-
nalling back to the .artillery. I tell
you it was a sight never to be forget.
