Essential Factors
In Hog Production
For War and Peace
Now and alter the war the wel-
fare of the hog and bacon industry
depends upon quality and low pro-
duction costs, urges the Agricultural
Supplies Board Hog producers are
advised to .combine quality with ec-
onomical production, a practice. that
is sound in both 'war and peace
times. These essentials, the Board
points out, can be attained by choos-
ing breeding stock with care, by
feeding properly, by marketing
hogs at suitable weight and finish
and by following the ;best practices
in swine and husbandry andherd
management.
Producers are 'recomended to pre-
pare now for healthy and vigorous
litters by providing broad sows

with adequate care.- The way the
pregnant sow is fed and managed
from breeding to farrowing has a
definite effect on the health and 'vig-
our of the litter at farrowing. Hous-
ing need not be elaborate, but it
should be dry and free Orem drafts
and bedding should be plentiful. A
first esesmitial is exercise and it may
be uecsesary to force sows to take
sui.',ficient exercise. One way of en-
couraging this it to have the sleep -
leg quarters some distance from the
feeding troughs.
With -regard to feeding sows

Canadian Legion
War Services
•Matrvbertyol Canada's armed forces
who Leave enrolled" for instruction in
the varices srlbjeets being'Wight
by the education branch of the Can-
adian Legion War Services, are
finding the sandy of conversational
and• military German nolele more
interesting than they had anticiPat
ed•
.At Calgary, for example, a sort of
",post graduate'' course dins been
instituted by Dr. Francis Owen, pro-
fessor of modern languages In the
University of Alberta, and with the
help of a specially compiled text-
book they are acquiring more than a
Shetehy knowledge of the subject,
Part of the manse int German in-
cludes a list sof questions for inter-
rogating .prisoners.. If a Canadian
wants to know a Nazi's' name he
would say, "Wie heissen sie ". And
If he wanted to get the prisoners
views of the war he, would aslk,
"Was denten sie von den krteg?"
witch means "What do you think
of the war?" Pt is not inyprobable
that "Mocluten ale eine cigarette
habeas?" which means "Would you
like. a cigarette?" will he asked fre-
quently if that mainstay of life is as
scarce in Germany as reported.
Along military lines, the list in-
cludes such expressions as "Uuter-
see,boot," for Uhboat, "dasflugzeug,"
for airplane, and "kontakt,' contact.
In manly cases the German expres.-
sionr' are nearly identical to the
English. Por example, "der gener-
al,' der feldhnarschall," and "die-
gasmastce," Others are superb
tongue -twisters such as "Masohinen-
gewehrschutze," which means Ma-
chine gun, and "arttllerieuntenstut-
zung," for artillery support.
Canadian fighting men no doubt
can "click their heels" a good deal
raster than they'll ever be able to
say it in Gervrran, for in that tongue
it is "haken zusommenschlagen."
"Attention." is a little easier, being
^'aciettng," When they want to
tell prisoners to put pipes and cig-
arettes ant or to be careful, they
will say "Zigaretten and pfeifen
aus" and. "vorsicivt."
One tiring they are just now find-
ing out, however, is that Herr Hitler
hasn't a monopoly on the title
"der fnhrer," The same expres-
sion also applies to an airplane
pilot. And "der kornpagniefulu•er,"
to mix things up a little, means
company commander!
