FEEDING AND WEANING
YOUNG PIGS.
The profit one makes in the raising
of bogs depends to a larger extent
than many suppose on the treatment
the litters receive while they are quite
young. Years of experience and
scores of experiments en the Experi-
mental Farms have justified the con-
clusion that the character of the feed-
ing and management of th sucking
and weaned pig has as great influence
on the economy of production. Cir-
cular No. 01 of the Dept, of Apicul-
ture at Ottawa recommends teaching
the litter to eat three weeks before
weaning. The use of a creep which
will admit the little pigs but not the
mother, is recommended. For best re-
sults at weaning times, sweet skim
milk is regarded as a practical neces-
sity, subsequently sour skim milk or.
buttermilk may be used. Middlings
mixed with milk are easily digested
and very nourishing. It is recommend-
ed also to scatter a few handfuls of
dry grain from time . to time in the
bedding. This ensures the little pigs
taking exercise in hunting up the ker-
nels. Overfeeding is a frequent cause
of ill -health and stunting. If two lit-
ters a year are to be raised it may
be necessary to wean the pig's at six
weeks of age, but if the litters are
more widely distributed they should
not be taken from their mothers until
they are two months old. This circu-
lar, written by Mr. G. B. Rothwell,
the Dominion Aminal Husbandman,
and his assistant, MIN W. G. Duns -
more, which is available at the Publi-
cations Branch of the Dept., mem-
mends ideal rations not only for the
weanlings but for all classes of hogs.
It also gives very helpful advice on
how to avoid or overcome ill health.

THE SUGAR JACK SYSTEM
OF FEEDING.
The "Sugar Jack" process is a ine-
thod recently put on the market for
the utilization of dry, coarse and un-
palatable forage. It is an ensiling
process in which a so-called "con-
verter," the Sugar Jack Converter is
used to moisten the dry forage be-
fore it is placed in the press or small
silo. An experimental investigation
of this process has been made by the.
Animal Husbandry Division at the
Central Experimental Farm and the
restate published in a new bulletin
entitled "The Conversion of Dry
Roughage into a Succulent Feed."
Analysis of the "Sugar Jack Con-
verter" has shown it to consist large-
ly of common salt plus slaked liaise and
a little vegetable matter. In fact warm
water alone and warm water with
common salt used to replace the Sugar
Jack Converter proved to be as satis-
factory in the processing as did the
solution of the converter. Judging
from the results of practical testsfeeding
and from chemical and bacteri-
ological analysis, Sugar Jack process-
ing' does not add to or improve the nu-
tritive value of the original roughage.
In the feeding trials the Sugar Jack
ration produced considerably less milk
than silage and was much more ex-
pensive. The production of milk and
fat from the consumption of the un-
processed dry roughage was equal to
that from similar roughage processed
by the Sugar Jack system, and the
dry roughage was equally palatable,
Besides, the Sugar Jack system re-
quires much more labor than is neces-
sary in feeding either corn silage or
unprroceoaed roughage. As a matter of
tact the Sugar Jack process is simply
a developmrent of an old-fashioned
method of feed preparation long since
discarded in'favor of modern methods

Religious Unity
New York Herald-Tribune,—(There
is no excuse, said Bishop Johu M.
Moore, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, for "sixteen varieties
of Methodists, or fourteen kinds of
Baptists, or a dozen kinds of Presby-
terians.') Can we look forward then
to a series of religious coalitions
which will reduce the 164 independent
religious bodies listed in Dr. Carroll's
survey to a dozen or less? Perhaps
not. The Roman Catholic Church,
with its 16,736,000 conmmunicants,
will, of course, etand apart, and there
are numerous other groups—the Two-
Seed-in-the•Spirit Predestlnarlans, the
Budhist Oriental Temples, the Shaker
and Amana communities, the Latter
Day Saints (Mormons), the Pillar of
Fire and Pentecostal churches and the
Spiritualists, for example—which ere
not available for any conceivable
scheme of amalgamation. But if the
tendency continues, and if the advo'
catets of unity gain adherents in the
nextt few years as rapidly as they
have in the past, there may well, be
important developments in this dlrec•
