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.

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.
