SCHOOL CONCERT •
A SUCCESS
A capacity audience attended the
concert, given last Friday night, by
the Public and , Continuation Schools
of Wroxeter,, andthey were not dis-
appointed in the performance. Mr.
Geo. Paulin acted as chairman. The
first part was given by Public School
pupils in charge of Misses Little and
Mitchell. The chorus by the senior
room was good, and showed the• ad-
vantage of their special musical
training, during the past year. From
the tiny tots with their nursery
rhymes, to the negro comedian band,
it was a creditable 'performance.
The second part .tool. the form of:
a Comedy -Drama, in three acts "A
Little Clodhopper," by Walter Ben
Hare. The story is built around
"Judy" (Lily Waller) the little clod-
hopper from the poor house, mis-
chievous little romp, who was des-
erted by her father years before who
has since become rich in Texas
where he lives; Miss Julietta Bean
(Vera Durst), the ':boarding house-
keeper and her helper "Ocey" (Wen-
dell Finlay) who later becomes her
husband. The scheming Mrs. Chig-
gerson Bogs (Marjorie Waller) and
her son, George, (Jack MacLeod),
from the city, wino secretly knowing
Judy to be an heiress, determine that
George shall marry her. Septimus
Green (Stuart Higgins), who also
loves Judy; •Charmian Carter (Len-
ora Higgins) the actress who appears
on the scene and marries George in
spite of his mother's designs. Judy's
father who returns and clears mat-
ters for everyone, a happy ending,
The cast. deserve great credit for
their splendid acting, holding the in-
terest of their audience all the way
through. The lovely costumes of the
young ladies added much, too. Al-
together it was one of the best plays
given here for some time, and credit
is due their teachers, Misses David-
son and Gamble, who trained them.
The school orchestra, composed of
Misses Gamble and Edgar, George
Brown, jack MacLean and Stewart
Higgins very capably filled in be-
tween acts. Another interesting item
of the evening was the presentation
of medals to the prize winners of
inter -field day, by Messrs. J, Mus-
grove and W. MacLean.

Ontario Live Stock Branches,
Bacon Litter Competition
Bacon Litter Competitions were
organized by the Dominion anti On-
tario Live Stock Branches, for the
object of .establishing a standard of
excellence for grade brood sows
kept by farmers. This competition
aims to give good prolific, proper
conformation brood sows, prominen-
ce as breeders in their respective cen-
tres, in the hope that female progeny
will be selected as foundation brood
sows. In 1930 there were 124 entries
in the Bacon Litter Competition and
in 1931 there were 268 entries. As
well as encouraging the distribution
of choiceyoung sows as a result of
this competition, the Ontario Live
Stock Branch, in co-operation with
the Dominion Live Stock Branch,
have assisted inplacing of high type
young brood sows among commun-
ities of farmers in the Province, and
such communities are on of the fav-
orite centres for the loaning of high
type boars, by the two Branches. For
the Bacon Litter Competition, the
Province is divided into, the necess-
ary number of Districts, and in .each,
district prizes are given for the lit-
ters when they go to market. Such
points as Sizes of Litter, Rate of
Maturity, Percentage of Selects, etc,,
are, used as a basis of scoring.
' Bacon. Sow Policy
The Dominion . Live Stock Branch
makes a provision for the purchase
of sows at the current market price,
Sows are selected by Federal Offic-
ials and, when shipments of twenty
sows or over are made to groups of
farmers, the Dominion and Ontario
Live Stock Branches share fifty-fifty
in payment of freight charges.
Boar' Bonus Policy
For the purpose of encouraging
and assisting farmers in purchasing
and maintaining boars for the pro-
duction of commercial hogs, the Fed-
eral and Provincial Departments of
Agriculture offer the following bon-
uses on a fifty-fifty basis, to any
bona -fide farmer or group of farm-
ers purchasing a pure bred register-
ed boar:

Swine Carlot Competition
To bring home to the drover and
farmer the question of type, quality
and finish in our market hogs, the
Ontario Live. Stock Branch, in co-
operation with the Dominion De-
partment, and Fair Associations,
stage each year carlot competitions.
At the Canadian National Exhibition
a special carlot competition was held
at which nine carlots of forty hogs
each were on display in 1931. At the
Royal Winter Fair the drovers unite
in bringing in select groups of hogs
which are placed in competition as
lots, the choicest of these hogs
from the Ontario Carlot of forty
head which is in competition with
the other provinces of Canada. At
the 1930 and 1931 Royal Winter
Fairs, the Ontario Carlots were win-
ners against the keenest competition
afternoon for the S. S. Xmas enter- from neighboring Provinces.

SWINE POLICIES
IN ONTARIO
Bacon Hog Club
This policy was instituted in 1932
for the purpose of improving the
commercial hogs in the Province,
through the use of better sires. It
aims to place swine improvement
work on a' community basis, hence
clubs consisting of ten or more mem-
bers, with at least twenty-five ap-
pmoved sows, may secure the loan of
an approved boar. Two hundred and
ninety-seven such clubs were in ex-
istence on the 31st day of October
1931. Of this number ninety-eight
were started during the year 1931,
One hundred and sixty-eight were
started during the year 1931. One
hundred and sixty-eight boars were
purchased during the year for use in
these new clubs and also for replace-
ment in some of the old clubs. These
clubs are distributed throughout 84
Counties and three Districts in the
Province of Ontario. Beginning Jan.
1932, while the organization of the
Clubs is similar, they are being fin-
anced on a fifty-fifty basis by the
Dominion arid Ontario Live Stock.
Branches.
Bacon Hog Fairs
In order to round out the useful-
ness of Bacon Hog Clubs, "Bacon
Hog Fairs" are organized each year
at various points in the Province, at
which fairs breeding and market
hogs are entered in the competition.
Lectures and demonstrations are giv-
en along improved swine industry,
and as to the proper type of market
frogs. The cost of this is borne To thr

It Pays to Finish Hogs
The low price of pork and pork
products very often results in the
marketing of many unfinished hogs.
This in turn forces the market to
ever lower levels and results, in many
cases, in losses to the producer
whereas the sale of a finished pro-
duct would have shown a profit. In
times of depression the advantages of
marketing only superior quality pro-
ducts am even more marked than
when prices are high. For example,
in 1929 when hogs were selling for L
12 cents per pound or more, the
premium on a select hog was $1.00
or an increase in the value of a 200 -
pound lhog of 4.17 per cent. In 1932
with a price of 4 cents per pound the
increase in value on a select hog is
12.15 per cent. Similarly the percent-
age dockage on grades below bacon
is increased with a decrease in hog

NURSE LOSES 7 LBS.
"1 weighed 145 lbs.," writes a
nurse, "when I bought the bottle of
Kruschen- Salts which' I have just
finished, f have taken a good half -
teaspoonful in a :glass of hot water`
every morning. W`o`vr. I weigh 138
lbs., a loss of 7 lbs, 1 am very glad
to have lost weight, :especially with,
out trouble," '- M,H.R. (Trained
Nurse.)
Unlike most salts, Kruschen isn't
simply a laxative, When you take
Kruschen Salt you not only stimulate
your liver and 'kidneys.. to function
naturally and perfectly, but you sup-
ply every internal organ, gland, ner-
ve and fibre inthe body with Nat-
ure's own revitalizing and rejuvenat-
ing minerals.
Get a bottle of Kruschen Salts to-
day, and . take one-half a teaspoon in
a glass of hot water' every morning
before breakfast,
Before ` the bottle is emptyyou'll
feel years younger—eyes will bright-
en—step grow steadier—nerves stead-
ier --you'll sleep sound, enjoy your
meals, and' after ` a hard days' work
you'll be ready for wholesome recre-

know all this.

To the man who loves to work;
