Pig Feeding Methods
Although there are several methods
of preparing meal mixtures for feed-
ing pigs, the following rules are re-
commended as safe practices In pro -
clueing hogs of the desired type: (1)
Grind all grain. Fine grinding it
recommended especially for young
pigs. (2) Soak meal mixture between
feeds; do not use too much water but
feed as fairly thick! slop. (3) Hand
feeding is the best method for secur-
ing bogs of a desirable type. (4) if
necessary, a self feeder may be used
after pigs have reached the growing
stage of development. (5) Keep
pails, troughs and ether feeding e-
quipment clean. Mouldy or decaying
matter will cause feeding troubles,
and (6)' Supply clean drinking water.

• Indigestible Poultry Feeds
Of the slaughter house by-products
for the feeding of poultry, meat
meals or meat scraps are by far the
most commonly used and are the
standard animal protein supplements
to poultry rations. They vary great-
ly in analysis according to the a-
mount of bone material they contain
but are usually purchased on a guar-
anteed analysis. The poorer grades
containing quantities of hoof and
horn should not be tolerated as
poultry feed as these products (hoof
and horn) are practically indigestible
to poultry. With a little experience,
it is possible to tell ata glance
whether the brand is suitable for
feed or not, but, if in doubt, pour a
little boiling water on a sample, and
the smell arising should settle the
matter even with the inexperienced.
If the odour is fetid the sample Is
unfit for food.
Ham and Bacon Exports to G.B.
Estimated at 60,000,000 Pounds
Department of Agriculture officials
at Ottawa, now estimate that 60,-
000,000 pounds of ham and bacon
will be exported from Canada to
Great Britain this year. Last spring
the estimate was 50,000,000, but al-
ready the 25,000,000 mark has been
passed and the best half of the year
has yet to come. The increase in
the exchange to 30 cents on the.pound
sterling, above what the Canadian
Government guaranteed in its stab-
ilization fund, will encourage the ba-
con trade as well as the live cattle.

is a serious pest in France, Spain,
Italy and other Southern European
countries; in Chili and other parts of
South America; in the United States;
and in fact in all countries which
have .long summers without frost.
During the years of shortage in
clover seed crops in Canada it was
frequently introduced' and distributed
in imported seed, but its ravages on
red clover have been noted only in a
few instances, in Southern Ontario
and the Pacific Coast in years fol-
lowing an exceptionally late fall
without frost until October. The dod-
der is an annual parasite with blen-
der yellowish and reddish stems
which twine about the host plan'
and become attached to the clover
stems by suckers through which it
obtains nourishment. Alfalfa dodder
has given -trouble in Southwestern
Ontario and in the Prairie Provinces
where, it is known to have continued
in alfalfa for three years: Badly in-
fested fields should be plowed under
before seed forms.

NEW VEGETABLES OF PROMISE
(Experimental Farms Note)
There has been a great deal of ef-
fort made during the past few years
en the Dominion Experimental Farms
to actually originate and introduce
new varieties of vegetables that
really have merits surpassing the
ones in use for many years.
Corn is a comparatively easy crop
to work with and it is simply sur-
prising the improvement made by
plant breeding methods. For ' in-
stance Banting, Gold Nugget, Dor,
inny and Spanish Gold have taken
the place of many of the older white
varieties, due largely to earliness,,'
superior quality and yellow colour. I
Beans are still an important snap
pod crop and it is most interesting to.
note that the well known Davis WaX
beaten that was looked upon as one
of the best money making varieties
has been superseded by an unproved
stringless strain.
If a very tasty green fleshed
muskmelon is desired the Early.
Knight variety will be found most
acceptable. The variety matures
very early and grows to a very de-
sirable_size for the ice cream trade.
The flesh is a very attractive green,
rich in muskiness and with an ex-
ceptionally fine flavour. As an
early maturing green fleshed variety
it is unsurpassed.
RECORD JUNIOR ENTRY
AT CENTRAL CANADA FAIR
The Junior Agricultural Depart-
ment at the Central Canada Exhi-
bition, Ottawa, is rapidly becoming
one of the chief features of the en-
tire week. This department attract-
ed an entry list.of well over 650 from
counties of eastern Ontario and wes-
tern Quebec. This is an increase of
slightly over 10 entries above the
mark established last year. The pro-
gram includes, in addition to the re-
gulation judging competitions
domestic, science, live stock, poultry
seeds and vegetables, such other feaa
tures as competitions in halter mak-
ing and showmanship, and special
classes for individual .entries and
club entries open only to members of
regularly organized Boys' Calf Clubs
in that section of the two Provinces,
It was these latter classes that at-
tracted and created the most interest.
on the ringside. Over 60 calf club
members exhibited their calves.
Ringiside comment was most appre-
ciative, not only of the high quality
of the calves, but also of the manner
in which they were turned out and
handled by their owners. The sec-
tion devoted to Holsteins attracted
entries from ten different clubs, with
thirty-nine club members competing.
Lanark 'County had the winning
group, with Dundas, Renfrew, Leeds,
Carleton and Russell following in the
order named. In ' the Ayrshires,
Glengarry was first, with Stormont,
Grenville and Carleton following in
order, Dundas had the winning group
of Jerseys and Renfrew scored a
double win with groups of Short-
horns and Herefords. The champion-
ship ribbon for the best dairy call
went to Donald Cumming of Glen-
garry County and James Mask of
Renfrew, won a similar honour for
the best beef calf.
Seed -Prospects
The alsike acreage was less than
in some years. This year's yield is
ranging from 2 to 5 bushels per acre
with an average of about 8 bus. The
seed is smaller than usual but gen-
erally a fine colour and plump so that
the quality is good. There is little
carry over from last year. The first
cut of alfalfa did not set its seed
well enough to warrant threshing in
most localities so that a shortage of
alfalfa seed is possible for the 1934
seeding in the province. Sweet clov-
er is now being harvested and there
would seem to be greater acreage
than usual and the seed promises to
be of good quality. The carry over
of sweet clover seed is said to be be
low normal.. There is an apparent
increase of timothy left for seed in
western Ontario and is yielding from
LIVESTOCK SURVEY OF HURON
JUST COMPLETED
G. H. Duncan, Livestock Investiga-
tor, Ontario Marketing Board, has
completed a survey of the livestock
population of Huron County. The
inquiry is the first. of a series which
will be made into all the cattle coun-
ties of the Province. Complete stat-
istics on the number of feeder cattle
now available, • present weight, num-
ber and approximate date when cat-
tle are finished, method of market-
ing to be followed (drover, stock,,
yard, direct export, etc.) and a coma
parison'with the situation a year ago
have been gathered.,•
The survey thus makes available
data as tet the total supplies avail-
able and production possibilities oil

port when completed will fill a long
felt need for accurate information
as to the true situation of the Ontar-
io cattle industry. - i i wa
The value of early maturing toma-
toes in certain sections is well known
to those who have experienced a de-
sire' to grow the crop in their own
garden and have the thrill of picking
nice ripe fruit fresh from the plants.
This is possible even in the short sea-
son sections if such varieties as Ab -
e1 and Alacrity are grown. Toms-
toes fully ripened can •be had in
from 95 to 109 days from seed sow -
in, according to the performance of
these plants at the Central Experi
mental Farm, where these varieties
were originated. According to a re-
port received from the North Da-
kota Agricultural •Experiment Sta-
tion, Abel tomato led all other early;
maturing varieties •for earliness and
yield in 1982.
Where a rhpbarb pie is relished or
sauce of that plant is looked upon
with favour, Ruby rhubarb will be
found to give the reddest product
and require the least amount of sug-
ar of all varieties available.
After all, those interested in vege-
table gardening should consult the
Superintendent of the nearest Do-
minion Experimental Station regard-
ing the problem of varieties suitable
for the locality.

CONSUMERS GAS 4TH COLUMN
In Mail and Empire
What impresses us most deeply in
the Ormond report is that until Au-
gust last year Kingston Penitentiary
must have been a veritable hell hole,
and its management was a disgrace
to civilization. Many and important
are the reforms that have been
brougth about, but who or what
brought them about? Was it agita-
tion in the newspapers or debates in
the House of Commons? Was it the
efforts of modern prison reformers
or the anguished cries of the prison-
ers? Was it the conscience of the
Minister of Justice or the chief war-
den or a humanitarian revolton thv
part of the turnkeys? The answer
is that all these persons and influ-
ences were apparently ; quite willing
that things should .continue as they
had continued up td last August.
Reform From Within
It was the revolt of the men them-
selves that brought reform, and ta.
bring it the men had to become fel-
ons of a deeper dye. It is not rl
pleasant thought. In extenuation it.
ought to be said that not three per-
sona in a thousand in Canada had
any real idea of what was going on
in Kingston. Nor have they to -day,
apart from. Gen. Ormond's report. It
id the deliberated policy of our gov-
ernment to shut our prisoners away
from the world. The purpose is to
punish them; the result is to delude
us. We assume that things are hand-
led' as they ought to be handled, as
we should wish them to be handled.
but the average Canadian, or even
the masses of. Canadians have no
more to say about the management
of our prisons than that of the

Civilian Commission Demanded
'W'e should like to see appointed a
prisons' commission made up not of
civil servants or military oficers, but
civilians who would be permitted at

sent themselves at any jail or peni-
tentiary and demand: access to any

you and me. It is we who permitted
to happen what happened in those
dark ages before last August. There
is a responsibility which we cannot
avoid, and which is a more important
one if we are to save our souls alive
than whether a Conservative or a
Liberal or a •C.C.F. is elected in any
riding in Canada.
THE NEW LAW AS TO THE
•
POSSESSION OF REVOLVERS
Not much was said about it at the
time, but the Canadian House of
Commons at its 1933 session made
an interesting change in the law with
respect to offensive weapons. On
and after July. 15 of this year all
permits for carrying pistol's and re-
volvers were automatically cancelled
and:
"Everyone is guilty of an indict-
able offence and liable to imprison-
ment for not less than one year nor
more than five years who, not ,hav-
ing a permit in Form 76, has upon his
person or elsewhere than in his own
dwelling house, shop, warehouse,
counting -house or premises, ,or is
carrying concealed upon his person
or in any vehicle under his control
or of which he is an occupant, a pis-
tol revolver or other firearm, cap-
able of being concealed upon the
person."
This clause substitutes a penalty of
one to five years for carrying a pis,
toll or revolver without a permit for
the previous penalty of a fine not
exceeding $100 and (or) imprison,
ment not exceeding three months.
The latter penalties still apply to the
carrying of offensive weapons other
than pistols or revolvers. Anyone
convicted of having upon his person
a pistol or revolver while committing
any criminal offence will be liable to
a sentence of two years in addition
to the sentence unposed in respect of
th offence for which he has been
convicted.
There are other important changes.
The new permits (good for the cal-
endar year) will be issued only if the
applicant can show that he "requires
a revolver for the protection of life
or property. The old wide-open
phrase "upon sufficient cause being
shown" disappears.
This is good legislation. There is
no necessity for carrying revolvers,
concealed or otherwise, except in the
rare cases where these are required
for the protection of life or property.
And when they are carried without
a permit the offence should be, as
this new law makes it, a serious one.
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION .
STATEMENT

HOME PAPER NEVER FORGETS
Someone has well said that your
home paper never loses interest in
You. To this possibility you never
have given a passing thought. No
matter whether you like the newspa-
per or not, the editor likes you. If
he is true to his profession and pub-
lishes a paper for the people, he al-
lows no personal matter to interfere
with his work of newsgathering. He
may meet you as a stranger, yet a-
long with his best and dearest friends
chronicle your success and ,sorrows
wherever you may be. Those who
would forget you but for your home
paper are ever reminded of your ex-
istence by some item in the paper
where you spent your boyhood days.
Others may deceive and defraud you,
but the home paper never forgets you.
,Possibly you may not always deserve
it but a newspaper on the right lines
has no pets and should it at any time

turn the wrong way, study a moment
and see if it has not at various times

the wall still farther east another
100 feet at a future date. • The work
was directed by B. F. Beavers, who
with others, got the idea from the
city of Stratford. Samuel Sweet,
mason, laid the steps. Among those
noticed from day to day on the job
were: Councillors Sam Ross and Da.
