(Woodsdoek Sentinel- ,Review)
A. recent article in "Saturday

Ontario government, moved the Hon.
P. M. Dewan, minister of agriculture,
to good, old fashionecl, honest anger`.
In a letter' to the editor of the publi-
cation in question, Mr. Dewan re-
fers to an article in the issue of Oct-
ober 31, in which this passage ap-
pears:

PICTURING CHRISTMAS
The light was placed behind the tree to obtain this Christmas silhouette„
hind the tree. If a large photo buln,
is used, snapshot exposures can be
made, even with an inexpensive
camera.
Small' Christmas tree lights may.
be left on when the picture is taken,
to add to tiro effect. But never allow
brilliant, "raw" light from a photo
bulb to shine lute the lens. Turn
the photo light or move the camera
so that the lens 1s properly shaded.
Of course, your Christmas Pie
tures should include more than just
the tree. Show the folks wrapping
gifts, decorating the doorway, put-
ting ornaments on the tree. Picture
the children hanging their stock-
ings, writing letters to Santa Claus,
and. peering out the window on.
Christmas Eve to see if he is cone,
ing. Make sure, too, that you get
pictures as they find the gifts
Christmas morning . , . and picture
older members of the family as gifts
are unwrapped.
Take your Christmas pictures as
if you were filming a movle—try tc
make them tell the complete story
of Christmas. A full record of this
sort is far more satisfying, and adds
greatly to the fancily album or "pie -
tura history book."

}IRISTMAS always calls for a
�� tt full picture record. At this sea-
son of happiness and cheer, every-
one feels the need of snapshots
which wilt preserve the occasion and
keep its memory fresh.
Most Christmas activities center
about the tree, bright with lights,
ornaments, and tinsel Naturally you
want the tree to show up, well in
your pictures. But it's a rather dark
subject, and unless you take a few
special precautions in lighting, it
mgy come out too black in the prints.
To picture the tree most effec-
tively', use three photo lights instead
of two. Concentrate the light from
two bulbs on the front of the tree.
Then place the third bulb behind
the tree, with the reflector turned so
that all the light shines on the wall
This back light outlines the tree
clearly, while the front lights help
show detail anddecoratlous,
Sometimes a silhouette of the tree
is interesting. To obtain this, place
all the light behindthe tree, with a
reflector to direct it meths wall. The
picture above was taken with a short
"time" exposure, the camera being
placed on a firm support, with an or-
elnary 100 -watt bulb concealed be -
tory material for floors which should
be smooth, free from cracks, well
drained and kept clean and sanitary.
Pens should be provided with guard
rails and bedded with chaffy straw:to
reduce losses from trampling or crush-
ing of young pigs.
' It is important to have a safe, ef-
ficient, heating system so as to main-
tain comfortable temperatures. when
the weather is cold during and after
farrowing. •
Early treatment of litters is neces-
sary for the prevention of anaemia.
which is caused by a lack of iron in
the blood. As iron cannot be provid-
ed through the sow it is necessary to
supply it directly to the nursing pigs,
preferably by individual treatment.
When the little pigs are 5 days old, 6
grains of powdered iron sulphate
should be placed on the tongue of
each by means of a small flat stick or
spoon. This treatment should' be re-
peated in 10 days. Approximately 6
grains of powdered, iron sulphate can
be piled loosely on a ten cent piece,
Atter these two treatments, the
young pigs will obtain all the addi-
tional iron they require from bash
sods sprinkled with iron sulphate and
supplied two or three times weekly,
