Certain' definite abnorinalties in 1 pigs,, such,a,s complete or partial hair- ,lesSness, undeveloped hoofs, blindness, large 'flabby and unnaturally devel- O'Ded neck and head ail arise from the same cause of causes- Pigs so effect- ed usually ,die although the sow re- meins normal. Pregnant sows which are fed a ;highly nitrogenous ration, -given insu- hficient exercise, and little or no. vege- kble or mineral matter are usually the' heaviest sufferers. This indicates a deficiency of seine necessary element in the ration. Con- ro1 of the trouble' lies in preventive eeding and improved management of the sow. 'It is imperative that the sow be encouraged to take daily .ex- ercise, In So far as is practical; sep- arate the feed trough, sleeping cabin, and hay reek, or if the sow is housed in a shed or straw stack adjacent to or situated in the barn yard, the feed- ing trough should be placed some dis- tance away so that she has no altern- ativebutto talce exercise. Close con- finement of the pregnant sow must be carefully avoided. Bran should always forst partof the ration and to this should be added such meals as shorts, screenings, oats or barley supplemented with 5 per cent, of tankage and 1 per sent. of bone meal. Pulped mangels or boiled turnips and clover hay, preferably al- falfa, are suitable roughages. erale in the form of charcoal, earth, soft coal or wood ashes, etc., should always be available for the sows. If these measuresfail, medicinal treatment must be resorted to. Scien- tific investigation has demonstrated that the addition of iodine in some form to the sow's eaten may remedy the trouble, In Eastern Canada where only an occasional litter may be affected, exercise and proper feeds should be successful, but where hair- lessness is common iodine should be adtninistered during the gestation per- iod, or at least for the greater part of it. A solution of one part of potas- sium iodide in a gallon of water may be prepared and when this solution is supplied to the sow in the areal ra- tion at the rate of one tablespoonful a=te.;•;. st, 73 Adelaide 8t.

The first inspection of 1924 is::completed and the inspectors in the various provinces report favor- ably on the work. Tho breeders have given generous support to the move- ment and interest seems to have in- 1creased materially during the last year. ` This is no doubt due to the better knowledge' gained with respect to registration work throughout Can- ada. Those in direct charge of the inspection of .registered hens have, tried to impart such detail to the breeders as will enablethem to keep accurate records: of the progeny of the registered females. Recording forms have been supplied to each breeder, andleg bends, which later are to'be used as wing bands,' have been fur- nished for tall chicks, the progeny of registered . females. All male birds have been inspected for these matings and in nearly every case the very finest o f '.producing blood linesare to be found behind these Males. An. honest effort is being made by every breeder to establish a firm basis for his registered; poultry, as he real- izes that fraud or carelessness of any kind will later reflect on the strain. The firm confidence displayed by the public generally in registration shows that the work of the Canadian Na- tional Poultry Record Association is being appreciated by the poultrymen of Canada. Reports of fertility and hatchabil- ity are very' encouraging and give promise of being very much better than the hatching season of 1928. To hear of 75 per cent.' hatches is quite common and many breeders are get-. ting even 90 per cent, hatchability from their registered birds. Generally speaking, the contestants who have been successful in the vari- ous laying contests. throughout Can- ada report active business conditions, which indicates that the egg -laying contests are serving as a guide to the buying public in the eecuring of re- liable bred -to -lay stock. The Pretty Roam the Paintbrush Made BY MARY GRACE RA.MEY. This year daughter reached the age' when. the usual hlt.or-miss furnitare� found in the growing girl's bedroom' wouldn't do at all; in fact, she was s quite unhappy about her room and *hen I surveyed it with a critical eye d I couldn't quite say I blamed her, j fi There was a rather battered brass p bed, a hand-me-down from formner i a grandeur which had lost some of its t erode find was altogether hopeless, t though the spring was good and quite` s comfortable; also a shabby, golden -l. oalc chiffonier, with a scroll top—how, o did we ever come to buy these things b anyway? A small desk in dark mis-' n sion finish, a table or two from some' nondescript and a funny little old dresser, which had been mine' when a girl, completed the inharmon ions effects The curtains were dis- carded lame affairs not suitable for any spot in the house, so they were used here. No wonder daughter was discouraged and that keeping her room in order had grown to ho a mat for of duty with no pleasure in it. But where was the money to come, from for the pretty set she so longed for? That was beyond me until I took father into my confidence, and together we decided to try our hands at malting new furniture from the old.' The attic, like those iih many old homes, contained the leavings of past' generations. Here we had an old hope' bedstead which had been forgotten for years; they are quite the thing now, though used with a spring instead of the ropes, and they are very comfort- able as well as pretty. The'spring from the brass bed fortunately wap. the right size, and with four l ,:ge hooks forged by' the blacksrnii,i from heavy strapiron and scicydd' to' the side rails, it. could be 1zedd very well. MAICINr A`"sTnR9r. i finish sadly warred and scratched; daughter thought her room was to be more of a' mess than ever. But with crubbings of strong soda water and much scraping and sandpapering, all one in the cellar, every piece was nally cleaned and ready for the aint. For economy's sake we used first coat of inexpensive paint as sear the desired color as could be ob- Iiined. This was gone over with endpaper when thoroughly dry and then two coats of enamel given, For ur color we selected a soft greenish lue, of, egg -shell gloss. This gave a more subdued finish than. regular enamel, Of course each coat was A. dry before another was given. , Decoration was a matter of. discussion; some voted for' stenciled powers, but daughter wished striping, of a rather light, creainy yellow. Father, who is clever at work of this kind, purchased a regular striping brush for a few cents, and after a little practice'was able to give the furniture quite a professional finish with the' narrow stripes. THE FINISHING' TOUCHES, While father was busy in the cellar with his cleaning and varnishing I had not been idle. All the blue and 1 z • They Wer'e'Seven.

My Child to Town — By Marion Beal Whether or not to take the young child to town is a problem that con -1 fronts the average mother, at . some' time or other, and one •which;requires a wise solution if she is to give the child the best care possible," She hash been told that theeo trips to' the city, are injurious to the delicate nervous system ,of ;the young child, and hav-I ing given much thought to.' his' best i interest§ she hesitates to take him anywhere. To the ,mother who must take her child or children, or else stay at home, this is indeed a grave consideration. I have often seen. these mothers, with two or three youngsters trailing petu- lantly and fretfully in their wake. One look at the little faces proved that it would have been much better for these children .,to have remained at home. The mothers, too,, showed plainly the fatigue marks that sup- port this conclusion. Here' the wisest solution is to ask the father occasionally to give his weekly half holiday to. caring for the children, so that the mother may shop, free from the burden of keeping an' eye on restless . youngsters. Perhaps Dad will demur, but most men, not in a position to provide an assistant for the wife and mother, will be glad to perform this duty, if the reason for it is made clear, However, it is to the mother who can leave' the children in charge of a competent person that 3 purpose to address this article.tAs a matter of course she leaves the children at home when she goes shopping.

They have seen wonderful displays of jewels, musical instruments,. and goods from many foreign countries. They know%just how silk, cotton and woolen goods are made from seeing, replicas of these processes. They know how cigars are made, and how a piano is made. They have seen windows that in their ap- peal to the childish imagination have been a true delight; Easter windows and Christmas windows have afforded thein pleasure that lasted for weeks. More rarely, perhaps once in six or eight weeks, they see a really good motionpicture, one that I have pre- viously seen and found suitable. 01 course, they do not go if an epideinic is prevalent nor unless in perfect health themselves, and I take the fur - thee. r.precaution of inquiring at the box'' office when the house` is least crowded. Safeguarding them in these ways, I have found it beneficial to in- dulge the modern youngster's longing to go to the movies. One feature that'appeals to me very strongly in favor of this mild "going to town" is that the_ children are thus acquiring a natural poise, and are at ease with any person with whom they are thrown. They are learning to. take an intelligent part in conversation, . and while not forward, are not self-conscious and shy, as the child is apt tp be if kept too much at home. had n toldt your farm, lar demand for good cheese.
