Shur -Gain
Hog Concentrate
OVR
:B�SVR
added to a much •smaller amount than usual of home grown grains
will not only reduce the cost of feeding - it will reduce: the time
in which your hogs mature. It will get them ready for market
in 6 months or less.
A third and vital reason why SHUR-GAIN Hog Concentrate should
be fed to your hogs is that grain alone does not supply the pro-
tein, minerals and vitamins that a hog needs. SHUR-GAIN is
designed to supply just these elements - and when added to your
own grains, you achieve a balanced feed which will get best results
in hog feeding.
SHUR-GAIN is economical - you require only a little more than
half as much grain - your hogs will be ready for market earlier -
they will be healthier, stronger and will grade better.
Your feed costs will be lower - if you use SHUR-GAIN.

.13OXING DAX
The day after Christmas is one of
the pleasantest days of the year and
the English have the good sense to
make • it a holiday. The excitement
is over, and we are relaxed. The
children have enough to do using all
their new things, to keep them happy
and there is plenty of food left over
so that cooking is no problem. Some-
times I think that the pickings are
even pleasanter than the dinner it-
self. The Christmas wrappings have
been tidied up and probably the
vacuum cleaner has been given a
quick turn. The Christmas tree has
not started :lapping its needles yet
and we have time to look at our
cards properly. The first quick
glance has not done more than tet
us see from whom they have come.
And Christmas cards are one of the
very nicest parte of Christmas. We
all have friends, ever old and true
friend, from whom we hear only
once in the year. If the children are.
a bit cranky from too late hours, too
'much excitement, and too rich food,
read..to them one of their new books,
give'themsimple food and tuck theta
into bed an 'heat. early.
