HINTS ON FEEDING PIGS FOR Winter feeding of swine presents several problems which are 1101. of the same importance in summer hog pro- duction, states Edward B. Fraser, Division ef Animal Husbandry, Cen- tral Exparimental Farm, Ottawa, First, adequate housing accomedation is essential in order to grow the pigs quickly and economically: Second, suitable feed -mixtures aee necessary, and third, particular care must • be taken in feeding and caring for the The housing accomodation for wint- er pigs should provide dry and reas- onably warm sleeping quarters. Draughts must be avoided and the bed should be well bedded with dry ANON. Do 110C-CrOlgtd too many pigs into a small pen, but allow sufficient pen space and trough space so that all can have an equal chance. In the feeding of the pigs a. suit- able mixture of grains properly sup- plemented will gdo far in keeping the pig's healthy and thrifty. Provide a mixture of grains such as oats and barley, and possibly a mill feed or wheat, and supplemenOwith a protein supplement such as skim -milk, but- termilk or tankage. Include with meal mixture at the rate of 1 to 2 ib. per hundred a simple mineral mixture such as equal part iodized salt, ground limestone, and hone meal. Roots and good quality legume hay —alfalfa or clover—are valuable in small amounts to supply succulence and maintain the pigs in a thrifty condition. These should not form the main feed but should be used in small amounts as an addition to a good feed mixture. Finally, good care is necessary in the feeding and management of the pigs in order to keep them in a heal- thy vigorous condition. Supply nutri- tious feed et a rate that they can handle it but do not attempt to force the pigs. It is not necessary ta supply warm feed during the winter, but care should be taken that the chill s taken off any liquids fed. This can be easily done by allowing the milk or water to stand in a warrn place for a few hours before feeding, Frozen feed of any kind should not be fed. By combining nutritious feeding, com- fortable housing, and careful man- agement, the winter feeding of pigs can be a safe and profitable enter- prise. , 5.

In the in- terests of clear vision, the organiza- tion advises all wearers of glasses and goggles to insure against allow- ing then lenses to get "foggy." Instructions are: "Wipe the lenses with a clean dry cloth; apply a soapy film to both sides of the glass; wipe off any excess but leave a thin coat- ing through which you can see. Any good grade of soap may be used for the purpose, or a specially -prepared glycerine pencil can be bought.

The work, under direction of Dr. Philleo Nash, assist- ed. by K. E. Kidd and John Emerson, has been undertaken by the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology, in Toronto. Study of the specimens, photo- graphs, levels, and soils during the winter will determine the age and type of Indian village represented hi he ruins, although, the researchers believe the site was once occupied by a branch of the Iroquois stock, called Neutrals by the white men, because they took no part in certain, wars, and that the date is less than 1600. The museum has objects of the Neutrals, but this is believed the first collection taken from a site occupied by them. One of the most interesting discov- eries Was that of marks of regular pattern and width in the soil, found leading to the mound where-tbe relies were found, measuring about 1.00 feet in length. and six-inch crisscross streaks. It is 'suggested that this :night have been an Indian long house, for that type of house was sometimes as much as 200 feet long, one supposition being that the cries, cross streaks might be the' remains of the pole and bark wall of the tong. house. Broken bits of pottery, bones, flint, and blackened stones which might have formed the hearth were tilos unearthed in the mea of the supposed house: Another puzzling discovery was that of a piece of transparent glass, about two inches, scpiare, with bead- ing on the edge, which was found a few inches down. from . the top. Primitive Indians did not make glass it was pointed out, and glass , froth white traders was nee introduced un- til well into the seventeenth century at the earliest. network audiences of CBC Tuesday, November 29, 9.30 to 10.30 p.m. EST.

The reason, he believes is that the new product is not well enough known, Why this lack cvf fame? The an- swer is simple. Advertising.,ability, chief among characteristics of a true cabbage, is wanting. Why should a woman cook a hearty meal of corn- ed beef and cabbage if her husband can't smell it half the way home? And imagine the loss of prestige if one could no longer cook such a meal as to make all the mouths in the neighborhood water. Low the sales may be, but who le surprised? Certainly not the con- noisseur of cabbages. Even the briefest acquaintance with the vege- table is pwoof that cabbages and their related odors are inseparable. Noodor, odor, no cabbage No, the professor must have developed something en- tirely different. •••11.M..
