At the same time it has -to be remembered that any at- tempt at forcing winter pigs when exercise is limited is courting disaster. Good feed should be .fed at a rate that pigs can overtak and the pigs kept in dry, comfortable quarters with room for exercise in the early stages 'of growth. By combining good feeding and management, many of the com- mon ailments ,of swint will be avoid- ed, and the result will be -healthy and thrifty market pigs. Successful winter pig production depends largely upon three factors. These factors Are: warm, -dry sleep- ing 'quarters, free from .draughts;. suitable -feeds •and care in feeding them, and exercise in the early .stages' ,;of growth. Exercise Tor the growing animal is practically a. necessity. This is ,particularly true of the pig in 'the. early stages, . and especially so if the. pig is (beingforced by !heavy feeding. Heavy feeding ,without -exercise is conducive 'to ,cryppling. Dt is ,wise,' therefore; to • allow the young pigs to run outdoorsduring the 'fine fall weather, and ,when they must be kept inside, 'due to 'bad weather, they should be allowed sufficient !pen space to exercise 'freely. With regard to ;providing warm anti dry 'sleeping quarters, if there are buildings available it would he un- wise' and not economical to ,build new pig quarters. Even old buildings should be remodelled only sufficient- ly to ensure 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. 1f the building is draughty or likely to be cold, the construction of a covered sleeping berth will be well worth con- sideration, It can be constructed of any available lumber in a dry corner of the feeding pen. The sleeping berth should not he more than three feet high and covered with boards and straw, and just large enough in area to house the .pigs cotnfortablyy in a beds of dry, clean straw, 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 snake 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, par- ticularly throughout .the Prairie Pro- vinecs, there is an abundance of cheap grain feeds which as they stand are unmarketable, but when fed to live stack quite attractive. prices can 'be realized. Where grains alone are fed 'the live stook product is seldom satisfactory and to get worthwhile results a protein supple- ment 'must be included to•'balanee the ration. Skim milk or 'buttermilk in some form is tine ideal protein sup- plement in hog feeding. These, however, are not always available but. because these are not arailable is no reason 'why other equally good fortis of protein sup •p'lement should not be used. A very fine type of !pork can he produced through feeding tankage. a by-pro- duct df the packing industry, This provides an animal protein supple meati ideal "Tor hog. feeding, and at the present time this can 'be obtained essentially at cost.

Pett Ridge in A Story-Te1•ler,'much of the gayety of the London streets has undoubtedly gone. The motorman wears the look of a philosopher; cer- tainly he has, at inquests, the undesir- able reputation of taking life as he finds it; anyhow he has no chance of paying attention to remarks aimed at him by those who only just escape collision with his conveyance. For thyself I do not .miss the con- fi'clences of the old'omnibus driver and of his colleagues. The conductor often had a grievance against e ticket inspector or a menber of his wife's faintly or the deportment of a passen- ger from Victoria, and he never failed to tell me all about it. They were ,bath of one thing legal advisers; never bet- ter pleased than when some nice point was submitted, always ready to give counsel's opinion.. I do not like to think of what happened in cases where their advice was followed. The laws regarding landlord and tenant had for theist no sccrcts, "Volt sue hint," they would gener- ally say; "that's all you've got to do; sue hits. Or else jolly well look hits up. Failing which, your best and wis- est plan will he to push his face !n!" In a lesser degree they were naafi - cal advisers and political experts with inside knowledge of both subjects de- nied to ordinary folk. Though they were always ready to give the best in- formation they possessed. there were moments when their patience w•a, suhjcc••tcd to unfair trials. Two Ameri- can woolen coming on top at Trafal- gar Square tired half a dozen ques- tions at their driver -before the omni• bus started, "Look here, ladies," he said, send - mg his horses up the hill. "That's the statue of Nelson on the left; St. Mar- tin's Church is here on the right; fur- ther on we pass by the Barrick Thea- tre and \\'yndhant's, the back en- trance to the Alhambra and the front o1 the Hippodrome; a .bit higher up, if all goes well. the Palace, and fur- ther on. unless you're suffering from a nasty- cold, you'll tell when we go by Crosse St iilackwell's, Halfway up to Tottenham Court Road we shall see by the 'ell, of Providence White - field's Tabernacle, and not much then till we get to the Cobden Statue, Higher up are the Britannia and the Adelaide, where we stop and ;go no further.
