Swine Improvernent piven that at k:tit :t carload of ap-
proved sows would be needed in the
in Eastern Ontario district next autumn.
The Swine Promoter of the Fed-
eral Live Stock Branch for Eastern j;1\Il® IH111'tJ) WATER
Ontario is finding much to do to im-
prove the quality of the hogs pro•
duced, and to increase their ,cum-
bers. Particularly in the counties
where cheese -making is the princi-
pal farm industry the hog stock is
much lower than in some other parts
of the province.
This is attributed to the too gen-
eral practice of allowing the cows to
go dry in the winter season, leaving
no dairy by-products for the feeding
of hogs. The establishment of milk
condenseries in some quarters has
also reduced the interest in hog rais-
ing because here also there are no
dairy by-products on which to feed
pigs.
Nor has the quality of the hogs
been advanced as in other quarters
for it is shown that only about 18
to 20% of the hogs shipped from
some of these Eastern counties are
of select bacon type, thick smooth
running about aha shop hog.
about 22c>,,.
To get/ at the foundation of ho::
improvement the Federal Swine Pre
moter in co-operation with the On-
tario Agricultural Representative --
carried out a boar census for the
counties of Lennox and Addington.
Of 70 animals examined but 25 were
found to be of bacon type, and in-
deed a number of the hogs of bacon
breeds were of very ordinary quality
particularly in length and general
type. At least 20 animals of very
poor grade were discovered.
When the census was completed
each owner of a boar was written
and supplied with a report of hog
shipments from the county, station
by station during one year. The
owner was also supplied with leaf-
lets of information on swine feeding
and an offer to provide assistance in
securing breeding stock of proper
type and quality. This service nes
attracted a good deal of attention.
Boar clubs have commenced to be
organized and already indications
are forthcoming that a number of ,
sow owners are ready to co-operate
with the Swine Promoter and Agri-
cultural Representatives in securing
brood sows of approved type. These,
the farmers are being advised, will
be selected by officers of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at marketing
centres for bacon pigs, and shipped'
in carload lots, transportation paid. I
At the conclusion of a special
swine meeting recently neld at Ath-
ens in Lennox County assurance was
Moderately hard waters are agree-
able to drink and are probably help-
ful in bone formation in the animal
and human economy. On the other
hand, in the household and laundry,
in addition to their being wasteful of
soap, hard waters are disagreeable
and troublesome. Further, their pro-
perty of causing chaulky deposits in
kettles, boilers and hot pipes is dis-
tinctly objectionable.
1. Boiling will partially remove
"temporary hardness" which is due
to the presence of bi-carbonate of
lime and magnesia. The chemical
explanation of this well known ac-
tion is that boiling water breaks up
the bi-carbonates, driving carbon
dioxide out of the water as gas.
Simple carbonates of lime and mag-
nesia are left, which, being practic-
ally insoluble in water are deposited
in the form of a whitish scale or
• "precipitate." This deposit or pre'
ipitr.te will settle to the bottom of
;- , :el allowing the now softened
:ad p: cictically chalk -free water to
ate poured off front the top.
2. Lime will also remove "tempor-
ary hardness" from water. This
.nems at first contradictory, as is is
siding lune in order to remove
(carbonate of lime. "Clark's lime
process" of softening water is, how-
ever, well known and established and
is used extensively in large city re-
servoirs. The explanation is that
fresh line robs the bi-carbonates of
half their carbon dioxide, all the
line falling to the bottom as simple
mono -carbonate of lime.
3. Carbonate of socia (sal soda)
and borax will eliminate "perman•
ent hardness" (due to the presence
of chlorides and sulphates of lime
and magnesia). Carbonate or bor-
ate of lime and magnesia are form-
ed, again falling to the bottom as a
whitish deposit. The resulting "so -
die" water is not very palatable to
drink but is satisfactory for laund-
ering purposes.
4. Zeolites or permut'sts are all
complex silicates. They possess an
extremely important property of ex-
changing bases. This exchange prr-
perty is utilized in water softening,
the lime and magnesia in the water
displacing the sodium of the permu-
tit, while the sodihm passes away in
solution. When the permutit ceases
to be effective regeneration is simp-
ly and efficiently carried out by pass-
ing through the permutit (which now

base) a weak solution of common
salt and in this case the calcium and
magnesium are carried away in solu-
tion leaving the permutit again ready
for water softening purposes. Cer-
tain commercial firtns in Canada and

ness to instal the necessary fittings
in factories and dwellings for full
working of the zeolite method of wa-
ter softening preliminary to the use

5. Distillation will free water from
all dissolved minerals including'
"hardness." This extreme measure
has to be resorted to where the sal-
inity is due to minerals which can-
not be removed by precipitation, for
example chloride and sulphate of
soda. The objection to distillation
is its expense and the "Rat" nature
of the product—due so absence of
any dissolved air. The distillation
may be artificially aerated by pour-
ing it several times from one vessel
to another. In some semi -arid dis-
tricts of Alberta where no better
sources of water can be found, was-
er stills must be permanently instal-
led in the holies in order to secure a
regular supply of palatable water.

TRIBUTE TO ROBERT BURNS
(Written when on a visit to Burns'
Cottage by the late Robert Ingersoll)
Though Scotland boast a thousand
names,
Of Patriot, King and Peer,
The noblest, grandest of them all
Was loved and cradled here.
Here lived the gentle peasant Prinec,
The loving Cotter King,
Compared with whom the greatest
lord
Is but a titled thing.
'Tia but a cot roofed in with straw,
A hovel made with clay,
One door shuts out the snow and
storm,
One window greets the clay,
And yet, I stand within this room
And hold all thrones in scorn,
For here beneath this Lowly. thatch
Love's sweetest bard was born.
Within this hallowed hut I feel
Like one who clasps a shrine,
When the glad lips at last have
touched
The something deemed divine.
And here the world through all the
years
As long as day returns,
The tribute of its love and tears
Will pay to Robbie Burns.
Everything is growing well after
the warns rains,
Singing Tobacco -Grower to Feat
re Festiva
1. Chateau $rrontenae, Q,uebee, where Festival will be herd. 2, Vincent Ferrier de Repentign''. a. Madame
cle rteve,t'tigny. 4. One 01 the handicrafts of 0Id1 Quebec.
y or more than three -score years
Vincent Ferrier de Repentigny has
been singing. He sings in the morning
while he is dressing, he sings while he
works, he sings in the evening when
he is sitting in the rocking chair by
the kitchen stove, In fast, Madame
de Repentigny asserts that it is not
unusual for her good man to sing in
his sleep.
Vincent Ferrier de Repentigny, by
the way, is one of the heat known
interpreters of the French Canadian
Follcsong. He has the largest reper-
toire -887 songs, some dating back to
thesixteenthand seventeen£h century,
when they were sung in the courts of
Franee and by the fisher folk on the
shores of Brittany. Most Of these
melodies de Repentigny learned from
the lips of his mother, who remem-
bered them herself as she sang them
at the spinning wheel in the little
farmhouse at St. Tin iothoe where de
Repentigny spent his youth. Other
lie learned fromelthe shanty men
during the winters ho spent in the
"woods" --good rollicking songs that
were sung hundreds of years ago by
the "voyageurs" who explored Can-
ada's rivers and forests in the early
days.
De Repentigny comes of a family
which stood high at the Court of the
French Kings in the 17th century
and is a descendant of the famous
Madame de Repentigny who was
really responsible for the introduction
of handicrafts into Canada. When
in 1305 the French vessel "La Seine"
carrying the annual cargo of Paris
frocks for the Ladies of Quebec was
captured in the high seas by the
British, and these ladies saw them-
selves faced by the prospect of isola-
tion for an indefinite time from the
supply of new clothes, Madame do
Repentigny, the social leader of the
time, set the farniere at once to the
sowing of flax and the breeding of
sheep, and the women to the spinning
of thread and the weaving of cloth.
De Repentigny is still as much in
demand at social affairs as he was
thirty or forty years ago. He is well-
known to the French population of
the Province, and ahnoet ito well
to the English. Jia will leave
his farm in Beauharnois county
long enough to take part in the
Canadian Handicraft and FOlksong
Festival which is being held at the
Chateau Fronteuac in Quebec from
May 20 to 22.
De Repentigny began life as a
farmer and intends to spend the
remainder of his clays growing "tabae
Canadien"; but he has tried his hands
at many trades. He has spent several
winters in the bush; for some time he
was captain of a great lakes freighter;
he has been a tailor, and is still the
proprietor of a restaurant in Rose-
mount. Yet he is a true "habitant"
and there is nothing that appeals to
him so much as a cosy little farm
house somewhere in his native county,
and a few good acres of healthy
tobacco.
This big-hearted jolly fellow who
has a sinke and a handshake for
everyone earries his sixty-nine year
lightly. His voice is as strong as it
was when he was a young man; his
step as light. De Repentigny's grand-
father lived to the groat age of 108,
his father was hale and hearty at
ninety, and De Repentigny himself
expects to sing all of his 387 songs
many times over and grow many
pounds of good tame, before ho joins
his illustrious forefathers.

The Car Owner's Scrap -Book
(By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench)
12 -inch monkey wrench and a forged
steel six-inch adjustable end wrench.
A small Stillson wrench will be very
handy, but it should not be used on
nuts. Reserve space for two geed
files, A good jack and tire pump al-
so should be included, as well as the
best tire pressure gauge obtainable.
A good pair of adjustable pliers, a
pair of "long nose" pliers and a pair
of cutters are required at tithes.
TIPS FOR TIRE TROUBLES
Negligence on the part of auto-
mobile drivers is largely responsible
for tire injuries. The following con-
ditions show a fete causes of pre-
mature failure of tires: Forcing a
car into a narrow parking space and
jamming the tires against the curb
is one form of tire abuse, Improper
inflation is another cause of useless
tire' wear. Tires should be tested at
least once every week with a gauge
to see that they contain the proper
amount of air. Underinflation caus-
es friction, breaking down the side
walls and loosening the tread. Over -
halation is almost as injurious, Still
another way to lessen tire mileage is
to permit oil to come in contact with
a tire. Neglecting to wash oil off
a tire with gasoline that has been
run over oiled highways is one of the
best ways known to decrease its
mileage. Misadjusted brakes are
very hard on rear wheel tires. They
place more pressure on one wheel
than on the other, and the one held
tightest skids, while the other rolls
freely. It is much cheaper to avoid
abusing tires and have wheels tested
for alignment frequently, especially
after driving over rough roads, than
to continually buy new tires.
LUG BOLTS SHOULD BE INTACT
I£ the threads of a lug bolt are
stripped when changing a rear tire
on the road, borrow one from the
front rim if an extra lug is not ear-
riecl. Every lug bolt is needed on
the rear wheels, as the rim may slip
when power and brakes are applied,
damaging the rine and valve stem,
TO CLEAN AUTO GLASS
The windows and windshields
should first be washed on the inside
with lukewarm water applied with i
chamois skin. Neither soap nor any
chemical should be used. On the
outside of the glass the following
solution should bo applied with a soft
cloth after the dirt has been remov-
ed with lukewarm water and the
chamois: Pulverized Whiting, one
ounce; denatured grain alcohol, one
ounce; liquid ammonia, one ounce,
and water, 000 lint. If the solution
is allowed to dry and is then rubbed
off with a polishing motion of a soft,
dry rag the glass will be left spot-
lessly clean.
BATTERY LORE
To keep the battery at top offrcien-
cy and lengthen its life, attention
should be given to the following
rules:
Check charging rate.
Tighten battery hold-downs.
Clean and dry top of battery.
Test and tighten battery termin-
als.
Clean and grease terminals and
posts.
Test to see if lights burn and horn
sounds.
Check, clean and tighten ground
connection.
Hydrometer test for specific grav-
ity to ascertain state of charge.'
Check battery installation by
cranking engine with starting motor.
Add distilled or chemically pure
water so that the solution is about
one-quarter inch above the separat-
ors.
IMPORTANCE OF GOOD TOOLS.
A good kit of tools is an essential
part of the equipment of a car. It is
not an easy task to make repairs
with a piece of string and a jack-
knife or a hairpin. In addition to a
pair of pliers, a good hammer and a
chisel should be provided. At least
two sizes of screw drivers should be
in the kit --a large one for heavy
work and a small one that can be
usdo for, work on the ignition. It is
also an excellent idea to have a long -
handled medium-sized screw driver
for reaching otherwise inaccessible
places Among the other tools are a
Before adjusting the carburetor,
make certain that ignition and tim-
ing are correct and also that the
valves and rings are working satis-
factorily.
FENDERS RUINED BY RUST
Holes will appear in fenders if
the under side is not cleaned and
painted occasionally. Rust will eat
its way through the metal when wa-
ter comes in contact with the raw
surface.
DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS
When negotiating rough roads,
smoother and more economical driv-
ing can bo had by using the hand
throttle. It wastes gas to use the ac-
celerator, because jolting of the foot
causes more gas to be fed at times
than is necessary.
