HENSALL
Dear Gladys: I'm afraid I'm not
a very good correspondent. For sev-
eral weeks now I have had your
lovely letter here waiting to be an-
swered and only now have I "got
around to it."
I have been in bed since Monday
morning with a bit of a sore throat.
Although I feel n
they R perfectly fit again
y still, insist that I stay in bed.
In normal times we hope for a
chance like this but being in bed all
the time can become pretty tiresome
and monotonous. I should soon be
released.
September has almost finished
and the weather is turning cooler
with the days very short since we
dropped an hour of double daylight
saving time. It is now quite, dark by
7 :30 in the evening. P. can't say what'
the winters' are like here in Ger-
many but I'imagine that they will
be worse than those in England—
more snow at any rate.
'Germany is a very fine coun-
try and after 2 months here I still
can't understand why they couldn't
be satisfied with it. The people are
taking the occupation very well.
They are beginning to complain
now of lack of food, especially such
articles as butter, sugar, and coffee,
They seem to be especially fond of
the latter and don't have the Eng-
lishman's taste for tea at all. As the
winter •approaches and during the
winter there will be great suffering
here. This town—Hoings—is about
85 kilometres from Hanover and is
not far from Munster either. I have
been through Munster several times
and what a mess that town is. There
is hardly e building or house intact.
There were tours from hero to the
Beisen camp but I was' never for-
tunate enough to got on one of
those. My best friend here was there
one Sunday, though, and he was
able to give mo a first hand account
of the place as it now is. These
tours have now stopped so I'll prob-
ably never get to see Belsen al-
though I would like to see it very
much. As I started to say, Elemgo
has never been hurt by the war
probably because of no industries
here and because of a hospital. This
hospital is now a prisoner -of -war
hospital and it is filled with German
soldiers still. The horrors of war!
The three very best chums that 1
had in the army were killed as well
as my best chum from home,. Mike
Passmore. 1' have had a 72 hr. pass
to Amsterdam recently and Thad a
really swell time there. The Cana-
dian Army•has certainly taken over.
the best 'spots"' up there and any-
one going there on leave is assured
a good time regardless of his tastes.
I am hoping to have my Privilege
Leave back to England next month.
As for getting home, I can't say
what the prospects are. Beinga
clerk had its advantages but the
paper war still continues as. fiercely
as ever and so we are being held
here, As the Divisions go home,
though, more of us will be released.
Still, my points score isn't so very
impressive. I aim still hoping for a
Xmas at home this year, however.
Mother tells me that a lot of the
Honsall boys have returned home
now—lucky guys! My home -coming,
when it does finally come around,
will be different than I had always
planned in that; my people are no
longer in Hensen. I intend to do a
great deal of visiting when I get
back however and renew a lot of old
acquaintances. In the meantime
there doesn't seem to be a great
deal more news at the moment.
Please remember that a letter will
he welcome at anytime. I depend on
you for much of the "home news
now, I don't know what the plans
are re the Institute still sending
parcels but if they are still continu-
ing, I would advise against It in ray
case anyway My future is inuch too
uncertain and so I think that that
course will be better. 1 do appreciate
what the W.I. has done for, me from
the beginning—much too ranch—
and hope that •before. too Tong P11
be able to thank each and everyone
of you personally. Once again then,
all the best to all, as ,always. JIM

• At Bird Dog Trials
'' judge Costello attended the field
trials of the Ontario Bird Dog As-
sociation near London on Friday
and Saturday last and at the an-
nual meeting_ of the Association was
elected first vice-president,
H. H. Hannam is President and Managing
Director of the Canadian Federation of Agri-
culture. In a message addressed to - farmers,
Mr. Hannam says:
"The farmer who is wise will look ahead and
plan carefully.
"And in these years when prices and returns
are more satisfactory than they have been,
when labor is scarce, when farm machinery is
restricted, when building materials are not
readily available, a good course to follow would
be that of putting a substantial share of the
year's earnings into sound securities such as
Victory Bonds. These reserves will not only
provide a measure of insurance against dif-
ficulties in less favorable years, but at such time
when supplies are favorable and costs will
probably be lower, their purchasing power will
be greater and return from them correspond-
ingly increased.
"We believe this is good planning from the
farmer's standpoint. At the sante titne, it is
the very best of planning from the standpoint
of the Nation."
FARMERS CAN BUY VICTORY RCN
on convenient
deferred payments
ANY RANK
. . . just sign a short form letter which
Victory Loan Salesmen carry (banks have
copies) ordering the bank to buy Victory
Bonds for you. Pay 5 % when ordering
and the balance at any time during the
next 12 months. The interest the bonds
earn pays the interest on the bank loan.

HELPFUL INFORMATION
FEEDING FALL PIGS
The ability to raise fall pigs is
the final test of the successful hog
feeder; Damp quarters, over -crowd-
ing and the feeding of .unbalanced
th
rations are e usual causes of fail-'
ure with fall 'litters. As pigs will
withstand cold much better than
they do dampness, dry, roomy, well-
betided quarters which are free
from draughts and well ventilated
are a necessity if fall pigs are to
make the;: best use of feed con-
sumed, says H. E. Wilson, Dominion
Experimental Station, Lacombe, Al-
berta, where hog raising is a special
study.
Suitable supplementary feeds
along with the grain is probably the
most important item in successful
winter pig production. In planning
feed mixtures for winter pigs it
well to keep - in mind that the pig
fed during_ the winter months is for
the most part grown under condi-
tions which deprive it of the use of
green forage and contact with the
soil. Consequently as the fall ' far-
rowed pig cannot help to balance
his own ration, feeds rich in protein,.
minerals and vitamins must be added
to farm grains to get the best re-
sults. Grain by itself, is not suffi-
cient to develop and bring a hog to
market requirements ..economically,
An intelligent choice of feeds is re-
quired if the growing and fattening
of swine is to be profitable,
To.promote good will, denote self-
will.
