Some Suggested Remedies. and Hints as to the Handling of Ifugs--Why Do Pigs Cough? (Coutrteuted hr On tart° Department of Agriculture, 'rorunto.) Accidents will happen op the farm and it is well to be prepared to give first aid to the victim of the accident, while waiting to secure professional help. Nail wounds, calks, barb wire cuts, injuries froth runaways, injuries from coming in contact with farm tools and machines or any other in- jury where the skin Is broken should receive treatment at one, that the animal may not 800, r. Scone pt•ople still apply turpentine to wounds of animals, doing more injury than good, stuce it weakens and devitalizes the tissues and retards healing rath- er than promoting it. Others use large volumes of antiseptic solution in water to bath the wound, this also weakens the tissue and removes the protective serum that nature supplies for the repair of the injury, so should not be used other than dur- ing the first cleansing should such be necessary. The application of tincture of iodine to the wound atter removing the dirt and loose tissue is the best practice. The application of tincture of iodine will destroy any of the common bacteria that may gain access to the wound, it stimu- lates healing and tends to stop minor hemorrhage. In nail and calk wounds there is no agent that will give better re- sults than iodine. Keep the injury clean. If there is hemorrhage, soak clean sterile absorbent cotton with iodine, apply over the wound and bandage. ):✓arty attention to wounds will save your horse much needless suffering, and make it easier for the veterinarian to complete the treat- ment. Don't be afraid to pour on the tincture of iodine, Keep your lingers off the wound, and see that everything that touches it is sterile. A supply of iodine and absorbent cot- ton should be at hand on every farts where live stock is part of the farm equipment,—L. Stevenson, 0. A. C. Keep the Pigs Cool. The pig, that is comfortable all the time, is a profit maker. The pig that is uncomfortable from any cause, particularly overheating will not do well. Gains in weight cannot be made while he is using up energy looking for comfort. Pigs kept in open lots with no shelter from the hot sun other than that afforded by the fence, cannot make the same gains as are made by pigs that enjoy the shelter of trees or a sunshade. A sunshade can be easily made by set- ting four fence posts in a square eight feet apart on each side, to sup- port a roof frame of 2 x 4 or 2 x6, whieh is covered over with hay, straw or boards. Hay or straw roof- ing is cooler than boards. Dust can be kept down by the use of oil or stack dip. Give the pig comfort or he will sweat, walk and squeal. There Is no profit in such 'actions, and you won't get three cents out of every pound of grain that he eats if you let him do it. The sunshade will help.—L. Stevenson, Dept. of Extension, 0, A. College. Cutting Down Farm Expenses. The farmer must meet his own problems in a masterful way. rail- ing to do so. all efforts by the De- partment of Agriculture in his behalf will avail n" progress. To keep up he desired standard living on t of ng On- tario farms the labor income must be increased. Should the farm be earn- ing all that it can, then the possibil- ity of increased income trust come from saving effected on operating. Can feed bills be eliminated by grow- ing better feeds 011 the farm? Some Ontario farmers have done so. Can waste of labor. stable space, and feeds be avoided by getting rid of poor pro- ducer news? Many Ontario farmers have done so, and now use the ma- chine wherever possible. They also plan their work so that they are al- ways busy themselves and everything is done hi its proper time, Every dollar saved in operations is a dollar added to the labor income, Minerals for Swine. 1 part common salt, they are to develop a bony frame- work and make the hest use of the feeds given.

Thumping, cough, unthriftiness and digestive disturbances in piga from one to six weeks old are usual- ly symptoms of the preeence of lung worms. Treatment of the affected ones is of little value. If the number of ascarids present in the lung is large the little pig will seen turn .0 hle•toes. If the numbers are limited {the pig may outgrow the malady.

FOREST FIRES — YOUR RESPONSIBILITY The question arises, are we to have our regular 5200 fires rat Canada this year? It remains with you! tip to date we have had a good record in Eastern Canada. Our fire losses are relatively small, one reason is wet weather and, another, increased -care' on the part of the public, through educational campaigns. How may we make the most satisfactory fire year in our history? By a little thought in preventing fire from oc- curring, or by co-operating with the fire fighting service when fire breaks out, by warning the ranger or Dis- trict Forester or Fire Inspector, by lending a hand when the fire, is small and easily controlled, etc. A little care for the next two months will mike a record for Can- ada! Why not be en the firing line yourself and lend a helping hand to conservation of a national resource which involves $500,000,000 annual- ly. in our national income. Make sure you do not start a lire by careless matches, cigarette butts, cigar stuba or pipe heel. Make sure, im locating your camp fire, that you make it small, near water, on rock, with' a whole clearance from brush pile or debris. Make sure that when you leave, your fire is dead out. L'se half a dozen pails of water instead of one. If your fire is not on rock, carefully trench and see that there are no rootlets or faggots to carry fire, across front your fire and al- ways puddle your fire before leaving it, Remember, one little ember is enough to cause thousands of dol- lars of damage. Do not leave it to - the other fellow! Do it yourself! s • d t World's, larseut Annual Exposition. goo aero. --8o per- manent buildings.—Attendance 19551,491,300.
