It is particularly important that mares in foal are not allowed to be idle during the winter months, as they usually produce weak foals—no natter how they may be fed. A brood mare's ration may be made tipof a variety of feeds, however, it is essential that it be nutritious and contain a generous supply of protein and minerals. .A. good grade of mix- ed hay, oats 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 up- on the size of the mare, her condi- tion and the type of work she is do- ing. Naturally the more work she is required to do—the larger the daily grain ration. Young snares that have not completed their growth must be fed quite liberally. .After the foal is born, drinking wa- ter 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 one-half bran for a week or more af- ter the foal is dropped. By, so doing, complications such as an oversupply of milk or indigestion are usually a - Voided. When nares are thin at foal- ing time, light feeding should only be continued for a few days. In such cases, the feed is usually increased gradually in order to insure a good supply of milk for the foal. Mares that are required to work while mins- ing 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. Rearing Winter Pigs The winter feeding of swine pre- sents many problems that are not en- countered in summer time, since pigs are forced to live tinder -unnatural conditions in winter and without the variety of feeds available in the ear- lier part of the year. At the same time it has to be remembered that any attempt at forcing winter pigs when exercise is limited is courting disaster. Good feed should be fed at .a' rate that the pigs can overtake and the pigs kept in dry, comfortable quarters with room for exercise in the; early stages of growth. By combin- ing good feeding and management, tnany of, the common ailments of. swine will be avoiled, and the result will be healthy and thrifty market- pigs. Successful winter pig production depends largely upon three factors. These factors are warm, dry`- sleeping quarters, free from draughts; suitable feeds and care in feeding them, and exercise in the early stages of growth. Exercise for the growing animal Is practically a necessity. This is parti- cularly true of the pig' in the early stages, and especially so if the pig is being forced by heavy feeding. Hea- vy feeding without exercise is condu- cive to crippling. It is wise, there- fore, to allow the young pigs to run outdoors during the fine fall weather, and when they must be kept inside,. due to bad weather, they should be allowed sufficient pen space to exer- cise freely. With regard' to providing warm and dry sleeping quarters, if there are buildings available it would be unwise and not economical to build new pig quarters. Even old buildings should be remodelled only sufficiently to en- sure comfortable feeding and sleeping. accommodation. Sufficient trough should be provided so that each pig will have an opportunity to secure a fair share of the feed. If the build- ing is draughty or likely to be cold, the consrtuction of a covered sleeping berth will be wen worth consideration. It can be constructed of any available Kimber in a dry corner of the feed- ing pen. The sleeping berth should not be more than three feet high and covered with boards and straw, and just large. enough in area to house the pigs comfortably in a bed of dry, clean straw, Ontario Boys' and Girls' Teams Won In Toronto In the National Contests for Boys' and Girls' Farm Clubs, held at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, To- ronto, on November 17, 1936, under the direction of the 'Canadian Council on Boys' and Girls' Club Work, On- taria teams carried off the major hon- ours. Each of the four teams enter- ed from the Province scored a first place, namely, in the dairy cattle, beef cattle, grain, and potato pro- jects. There were 81 teams entered in the six projects, four from each of the provinces except Alberta and Saskat- chewan which entered three teams, and Prince Edward Island one. In the teams for the farm projects there were 56 boys and six girls. The teams were winners in the provincial contests, thus winning the prize of a free trip to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair with all expenses paid. An additional contest was held this year, public speaking, in which each province sent one boy. This was won by Roger Ellyson, St. Celestin, Que. In the National contests, the club team obtaining the highest score in each of the six projects is awarded a challenge -trophy indicative of the Dominion Championship, to be retain- ed for one year, while at the same time each member of the various championship teams is awarded a miniature trophy which becomes his or her own property and each contes- tent in all the competitions also is a- warded a. suitable engraved medal. • The winning teams with the score of each in the six farm projects were as follows: Dairy Cattle Ontario—South Durham Dairy Calf Club, Lloyd Metcalf, Bowlnanville; Wesley Werry, Hampton, — Team score 1024. Beef Cattle Ontario—Ilderton Beef Calf Club, Duncan Pletcher, Ilderton; George F. Robson, Denfield.—Team Score 1046.

COCKTAIL" TO HAVE CANADIAN PREMIER OVER CBC NATIONAL NETWORKS, DECEMBER li—TIME SIGNAL BEING USED WIDELY—OTH:ER NOTES. I-Ierman Fine]: and Lauri Wylie did a good day's work when they produced their musical satire, a "G and S. Cocktail." Not only was this so-called "mixed Savoy Grill" a triu inph as performed at the London Hip- podrome, but it later established itself as a surefire radio success via the production department of the British Broadcasting Corporation. Canadian Premiere Cocktail" is the result of temperature and the invalid's imagination. The Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration announces that a "G. and S. Cocktail" is to have its Canadian premiere from the Toronto studios on Friday, December 11, at 9.00 p.ln. EST. Stanley Maxted, long associat- ed with Canadian radio presentations devoted to the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan, will be responsible for the production and rehearsals are'already' under way for the first Canadian air showing' of this delectable dish in which a tenor is served up as the hero and in.which the injection of so much that is rare and rollicking from the famous , Gilbert and Sullivan scores, is made possible through the night-marish atmosphere of the play. In explaining the liberties they have taken by •snatching bars from almost every' G. and S. opera to make one -half-hour frolic, the authors state, without equivocation, that their plot has to do with a throaty tenor whc decides to be fashionable. So he ac- quires an attack of "flu," ane prompt- ly goes into a delirium. A "G. and S. 1072.

Interpretation of the Time Signal Letters received by the Canadian Broadcasting' Corporation from lis- teners in different parts of Canada, indicate that there is a growing ten- dency, in checking exact chronome- ters, to make use of the Corporation's musical time signal broadcast over the national network every night at 11.00 o'clock EST. The service, it al- so would appear, is being used very widely. in setting various other types of time pieces. For the information of those not acquainted with the operation of the signal, it may be pointed out that the hour is sounded precisely at the be- ginning of the last note of "0 Can- ada" The signal has been developed to a high degree of accuracy and for all practical purposes it may be con- sidered exactly correct. The inter- pretation of the entire signal is as follows: Upon the start of the first note, it will be two seconds to eleven o'clock, upon the start of the second note it will be one second to eleven o'clock, upon the start of the third note it will be one-quarter of a second to eleven o'clock, and upon the start of the fourth note it will be the exact hour. The signal originates in the Stand- ard Frequency Laboratories of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation at Ottawa, is carried to station CRCO and from there is distributed to the national network. "Fanfare" Jan Sibelius' "Finlandia" will be featured by Bruce • Holder's orchestra in•"Fanfare," a program to be heard over the eastern and midwest net- works of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, on Monday evening, De- cember 7, at 8 p.m. EST, . with the Saint John Male Choral Club, as guest artists. The club will sing "On Great Lone Hills" from the orchestral num- ber, the finale of which will be picked up by the orchestra. Other numbers in which the musicians under Holder's baton will accompany them will be "Lift Thine Eyes," by Frederick Knight Logan; "My Heart is a Silent Violin,' with music by. Oscar'' J. Fox, and Brehm's- Lullaby." Bobby Kelly, instrumentalist, also will be featured in special variety numbers. On December 14, "Fan- fare" will be back on the air with its usual- comedy skits. "A Real Find" The "Music Hall" stars are still un- packing presents at the CBC Toronto studios in honour of their first birth- day anniversary. Just this week George Young was presented with a big square box which had arrived from Fort William. On inspection it was found to contain a dozen or more records of famous music hall stars, many of them real treasures to- day. The gift is from Mrs. 11, Bad- anai, of Fort William, a fan who has never missed a broadcast since "Let's All Go To The Music Hall" first went on the Canadian airwaves. And from the little note of good wishes that accompanied the gift, it was easy to surmise that the friend of the CBC program was, sending on something that she treasured, "We will play these over and over, take the words and music straight from the records and present then on future prograrris," said, George Young, looking like a biologist who had just captured a rare microbe. "Some of these I have never even heard of. And I thought I knew them all! This is a real find." COMMISSION FEATURES DAY BY DAY (All .
