It is suggested that these troubles may be traced to a lack of iodine in the thyroid gland of the pregnant female, and losses from this cause may be avoided by feeding iodine, in the form of potassium iodide. Potassium iodide has a generally stimulating effect, toning up the wholesystem, and exerts a particu-, larly strong influence on the genera- tive organs. Females which are ap- parently non -breeders will often be- come pregnant after thin drug has' been administered for a few months. 1 For cows, dissolve two ounces of potassium Iodide .. in a cup of warm water; sprinkle this solution over 100 pounds of salt spread evenly and in a thin layer on a clean: floor, and mix well. When the salt is dry," place it in a box where the animals Nave free accessto it. For ewes, fol- low the same method as for cows, I For sows, dissolve one .ounce of potassium iodide crystals in one gal- lon of water, and mix one tablespoon per sow daily in the feed or drinking water. For mares, give each mare a half a teaspoonful of potassium iodide in the feed grain or water on the first and fifteenth of each month. GREEN FEED FOR POULTRY At all times of the year an abun- dance of green feed is essential to the health of the poultry flock. In summer it may be provided by free range on the farm, but in winter it must be supplied by some form 02 stored feed. Roots, cabbage, sprouted oats, and' alfalfa hay are common- ly used for winter feeding. Prob- ably alfalfa is the most valuable element in the winter poultry ration, and if the following precaution is taken in feeding it may be used in unlimited quantity. For several years it has been the practice at the Experimental Station at Harrow to chop fine the young al- falfa shoots for the baby chicks and to use cut alfalfa hay as the sole means of supplying the necessary roughage and greens for winter egg production. A good grade of second or third cutting hay is run through a cutting box in about half-inch lengths, .'steeped for twenty-four hour by entirely covering with cold water, strained, and fed in shallow tubs, For the best results it is fed immediately after the early morning grain and again late in the afternoon. Old stalks left should be thrown out where the birds cannot reach them er they may be the cause of crop trouble. Fair results may be had by feeding good alfalfa leaf dry but the exper- ience at this Station is that the steep- ed cut hay is better appreciated by the birds on account of its easy digestibility and because it is more palatable. FEED A. BALANCED RATION If there is one thing more than any other the importance of which is stressed in hog feeding, it is that grains alone are not enough to make • good hogs, and that for the 'produc- tion of the select bacon type hog it is important that a balanced ration ' be fed. In many parts of Canada, particu- larly throughout the Prairie Prov - FEEDING /BROOD MARES To properly care for brood mares during the winter months, it must be understood that they should be given mild exercise each day but deep snow and the hauling of heavy loads should be avoided. It is particularly im- portant that mares in foal are not allowed to be idle during the winter months, as they usually produce weak foals—no matter how they may be fed. A brood mare's ration may be made up of a variety of feeds, however, it is essential that it he nutritious and contain a generous supply of pro- tein and minerals. A good grade of "mixed hay; vats' and' 'bran ^will supply all the necessary requirements. A few roots fed daily will also prove beneficial. The amount of hay and grain to be fed daily will depend upon the size of the mare, her con- dition -and the type of work she is doing. Naturally the more she is required to do—the,larger the daily grain ration. Young mares that have not completed their growth must be fed quite liberally. After the foal is born, drinking water with the chill taken off is given to the mare. The mare's first feed after foaling is always a warm bran mash and the grain ration contains ope-half bran for a week or more t{fter the foal is dropped. By so doing, complications such as an over- supply of milk or indigestion are usually avoided. When mares are thin at foaling time, light feeding should only be continued for a few days. In such cases, the feed is usually increased gradually in order to en- sure a good supply of milk for the foal. Mares tha'j are Meg/tired to wort: while nursing their foals will require liberal feeding, if they are to be kept in good flesh and provide a generous supply of milk for the foals. TO HOG PRODUCERS Producers of hogs in Canada are reminded that the increase in the number of overfinished and over- weight hogs now being marketed is creating a very serious and acute problem in the export bacon and do- mestic pork trade. Farmers are there- fore strongly advised to refrain from overfinishing and to endeavour to market their hogs before reaching a weight of 230 pounds at the farm.

Deachman, Liberal M.P., sug- gests that the radio eeti$orship may be extended to the press if publishers do not act to his taste, Bringing the management of the Globe and Mail quite irrelevantly into the debate on broadcasting, he made a personal st- ack on George McCullagh, mentioned editors whom he admired, and voiced the fear that "soma measure of re- striction" would have to be adoped if publishers were to "use the press for the accomplishment of their own purposes and, instead of presenting. the views of the public, present their own personal views on the editorial page," Mr. Deachman has a strange notion of the function of newspapers if he thinks it is the duty of editors and publishers to present the views of the public on the;, editorial page. The famous editors he mentions could have told him better. So could J. E, Atkinson„ publisher of the paper for which Mr. Deadhman writes oc- casionally. When Mr. Atkinson pro- posed to drive the Premier of Ontario "out of public life" he had no notion of presenting the views of the public instead of his' own personal views. If Mr. Deachman has an objection to the presentation of personal views he 'should put ib to the owner of the Star. If is not likely that the government will endorse Mr. Deachman's wards, so that these must be taken as the expression of his own personal views, and it may be taken, too, that the articles he writes are in the same °lass, and not merely attempts to Meseta the views of the public. The question arises, therefore: When are personal views permissible and when are they to be banned? The obvious. answer is that they are permissible- when Mr. Deachman :agrees with them and to be banned when he disagrees., As has been said,, the government would not' dare take responsibility for these entirely peculiar personal views 'and the only result of Mr. Deaehman's dontribution to the de- bate is the conclusion that his per- sonal views are wholly -one-sided and. worthless.—.Toronto Telegram. t talte1'r'raeat tate '' `• eataJWee,We5+"eWe''Vet Y%S' ee' e e erneem' ployment are more for the exerts : of - ' his powers than for the ettainnt.: of ' additio .

But, with the likelihood that profits will improve this year, the cutting -down process for high - paid personnel will be ended. Mr. Bucek reiterated his state- ment of a few weeks ago that a shortage of trained executives had developed, chiefly because busi- ness' had attempted to substitute inexperienced younger men for older, trained executives. Many of the latter have called on him • since publication of the statement on the assumption that if such a shortage is apparent, they, should be receiving more oppor- tunities. Mr, Bucek stressed the point that business is still unwill- ing to employ these older men and that a determined effort must be made to break down this op- position. .Busind,:js seems to have for- gotten, he added, that it takes fifteen years or more to produce a top-ranking executive, and the process is just the same as it has always been, namely, adequate training and balanced experience, all of which takes time.
