MiaTAVU'SIH STERN DOCTOR,
FRI'EN'D TO S,TAFFA FOLK
(By (Martha ISrnilillie in 'The London.
Free Press.)(
Staffa was an isolated, sleepy little
:hamlet that was ''fighting its valiant
way through indigestion and rheutna-
tism 'and :me'asles with the "help of
castor oil and mesterei when its first
doctor arrived with $710 in his pocket,
and youth and confidence that goes
with it, and took the Straggling back-

epidemics came: along, In those far-'
back days no One was sup'p'osed to die
young on account of goodness, If a
man dropped off .before life was 80 his
relatives took it as 2i. personal affront.
People were 'huskier in the days of

of quacks and ready-made veterinary
surgeons. But 'Staffa was too isolated
for even a quack to take it in hand.
So the straggling little 'hamlet re-
ceived the new doctor graciously and
gave 'him all the work 'it could.inuster
up. And if you thrown love and ,grati-
tude into the scales and sacks of po-
tatoes and hams of meat and pump-
kins and tturnups and a 'goose for
Christmas, maybe they paid him the
best they could, too,
llt was in these little, struggling pio-
neer places that a 'doctor saw the
rough edges and turned down corners

A country doctor's life wasn't all a
song sixty years ago and .wlhen the
whole community contrived to put
itself oust of gear at the same moment
—a broken leg here, a fever there,

tence.
When a call came out of the night
the doctor would 'fight this way into

grass by the roadside, but when the
battle was on, she would go with ,face
set and head bent, running l'i'ke a tim-
ber wolf.

street carrier, would hear a th.u'd of
hoofs and look around to see the doc-

Pointers on Hog Feeding.
IThe following points are recom-
mendedas valuable itt hog, feeding:
Grind all ,grain. Fine .grinding is
recommended especially for young
Ings.
Soak meal mixture' between meals;
do not use too much water but feed as
a relatively thick slop.
•W'hile there are many different
methods of feeding :hogs, the use of
a good" tight trough is safe and"re-
duces wastage.
:Fresh clean water. should be pro-
vided between meals.
1Pigs should •be fed three times' daily
for at least ,one to two weeks alter
weaning; ewo feeds daily will then, be
sufficient.
:Growing pigs are very fond of and
can make excellent' use of green.feed.
!For winter feeding pigs relish a
little fibrous matter to chew and they
need it regularly." Give the Second cut
of clover or alfalfa, or any well -cured
grass or cereal crop that has been
cut green.
The desirable effects of 'feeding a
little mangels daily are too' well known
to need "further comment - 'The im-

Compulsory Hog Grading.
(Hog grading regulations provided
by t'he 'Dominion 'Goverment under
its (Live 'Stock and Live Stock (Pro-

Lieute'n'ant-IGovern'or of Ontario as
effective 'in 'this province 'and will be
put in operation immediately.
Their effect is to rid grading of its
somewhat optional 'feature Of the past
and to make it compulsory, with rigid
enforcement, in all sections of On-
tario, in the future. 'Behind them is
the 'primary .purpose of •raising the
standard o'f Ontario bacon, with a
view to earning a greater share of
markets, both domestic . and over-
seas, than troy' prevails.
All hogs 'sold or offered for sale
at stockyands or `such other :points
as may 'from tIrne to time be de-
signated by the 'federal authorities,
hogs arriving at abattoirs and hogs
for export are 'sulb'ject to grading.
Only pure-bred hogs exported 'far

entered 'for exhibition at foreign,

IJinder the grading regulations, hogs
are divided into the following classes:
Select bacon, 'butchers, 'heavies, extra

and sows. Bacon is the ,quality on
which quotations 'are made. Select'
bacon is entitled to .a'b'ones ,of $1' per.

The Fertilizer Act Protects The
Farmer.
,Prior to '1922 .bhe official .super-
vision for the control of com'mercial
fertilifers sold in Canada was con-
fined 'largely to the taking of repre-
sentative samples at the 'factories of
m'anufacturers, These samples were
analyzed :and the results Of analysis
published. •
Nowa'd'ays samples are,'taken from
lots after delivery to the farmer, or
fro' mcar lots en route to destination,
or from -shipments temporarily in
warehouse, prior to final distribution.
By this means control is made more
effective.
The Fertilizers Act ',:requires that
every brand of fertilizer sold in Can-
ada be
anada'be registered, and that every con-
tainer of fertilizer be tagged or label-
led showing the name and address of
the manuiiacturer or importer, the
brand name, the •registration number
