HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1932-01-21, Page 7Little Pig Losses By L. Stevenson, Provincial Zoologist During the ',elute'', of 1931, many lit- ters of young pigs were born either dead, weak, hairless or with thick throats. In Grey County alone, over 800 brood sows lost their young at birth. Over the entire Province the numbers would run up into the thous- ands. The loss of a litter of young pigs simply means that a brood sow has been kept and fed for six mouths and gives no return. It also means that the owner of the sow losing her Piga will have to go out and buy others to take the place of those lost. These heavy losses in new born pigs during the winter and spring are gen- erally due to lack of iodine in the food that Is given to the brood sow. There is no substitute for iodine, the preg- nant sow must have ample, which for- tunately is not much, as one half ounce of Potassium Iodine will supply the necessary iodine to any brood sow for one year. If you have had these little pig losses on your farm in the past, you are advised to fortify your brood sows against such loss this year by provid- ing the little bits of Iodine that is ab- solutely necessary in the prevention of goitre, hair'lessness, weak pigs or dead at birth pigs: A very small quantity of Potassium Iodine can be given in the feed during the pregnancy period. Dis- solve one half ounce of Potassium Iodine in a quart of water, and mix one or two tablespoons of the liquid in the feed every few days. Also see to it that the brood sows get plenty of soil, sods or other mineral matter and an abundance of clover leaves and fine clover stems during. the period when they are carrying young.

For this nothing is better than Castoria ,a purse vegetable prepara- tion specially made for babies and children. Castoria acts so gently you can give it to young infants to relieve colic. Yet is always effec- tive, for older children, too, remem- ber. Castoria contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics—is absolutely harmless.' When your baby is fret- ful with teething or a food upset, give a cleansing dose of Castoria.

Miss Minnie Harper had accepted her aunt's invitation to spend a week -end with her and now in her anxiety to finish the last of her work at the office she had not noticed the, time. Trained to think of the right thing in an emergency Miss Harper hurried to a nearby telephone booth and called her aunt. Fortunately she reached her before she had left for the flag station and in a few seconds she had explained the situation and assured her aunt that she would certainly not miss the train next week -end if she might come then. 9Jow to play.f3ridge AUCTION 44 CONTRACT 4 Wynne Ferguson Author of 'PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE* ARTICLE No. 5 That Auction and Contract and their attendant rules are not yet standard- ized throughout the country is well illustrated by the following request for decision from one of the writer's cor- respondents: "During a game of Auc- tion the other night, one of the play- ers threw his hand on the table and demanded a new deal, declaring that he had neither an ace nor face card. Another player claimed he was wrong as he should have waited till the trump was declared and then if he had neith- er 'ace, face nor trump,' he could have claimed a new deal. This point has caused considerable discussion and dif- ference of opinion so please decide it for us." Needless to say, a player must play the cards as dealt and the fact that they are all under a ten spot is no rea- son for a new deal. There never has been such a rule and it is rather sur- prising to have it advanced. It is a good example, however, of the wide- spread popularity of Auction and Con- tract even among those who are not familiar with the ordinary rules of the game. The following hand has raised a curious question: Hearts—K Clubs—none - ' Y Diamonds—A, IC, J, 10, : A B : 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 Z . Spades—none No score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid one no trump. What should A bid with the foregoing hand at either Auc- tion or Contract? A should undoubt- edly pass, hoping that Z will obtain the bid at no trump. In the actual play A did pass, also Y and B, so Z played Hearts—Q 6 Clubs—uoae Diamonds---eo: o; Spades—A, Q, the hand at one no tramp. A played his twelve diamonds and, on the twelfth trick, Z had left in his hand the ace of hearts and the ace of spades. It was an absolute guess which ace to keep and, as usual in such cases, he guessed wrong, discard- ed the ace of hearts and A scored a grand slam. The curious part about the hand was that Z accused A, the writer's corres- pondent, of "not having played a sport- ing game as he was betting on a cer- tainty." It was argued that such a play might be al right in a Card Club, but very unsportsmanliko for a social game. Such a contention is certainly curious and has seemed worthy of mention in this article. When a game of Auction or Contract is made up, there is an express understanding that each player shall be entitled to take full advantage of both his skill and his luck. Luck averages up for every one in the long run, so never criticize a player for holding big cards or for playing them to obtain the maximum results. Take the game and your luck philosophically, and both you and your friends will enjoy the game a great deal more. The writer was under the impression taht the following problem was rather easy until one bf hi correspondents wrote in regard to it : "Only an ostrich would call this problem simple." Why he selected an "ostrich" for compara- tive purposes is doubtful but probably because of its purported lack of Intelli- gence. After that statement, however, the writer will refrain from expressing an opinion. See if you can figure it out before reading the solution that follows. Problem Hearts -8 Clubs—none Diamonds—Bone Spades—K, 9, 5, 3 Hearts—IC, 9 Clubs—none Diamonds—none Spades—J, 6, S There are no trumps and Z is in the lead. IIow can Y Z win three of the live tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the jack of spades and .A. should play the queen, although he knows that it must lose the trick. By so doing he retains his tenace in Y's suit. If he were to play his ace on the jack, he would leave Y with the tenace and Y Z would now win four tricks against and defense. A must play the queen of spades and Y • Hearts -10, 7, 4, 2 Clubs—none Diamonds—none Spades -10 wins the trick with the king. ¥ should now lead the eight of hearts; B plays the deuce .and Z should play the nine. If he should play the king, A should play the queen and A B will thea win the last three tricks. When Z plays the nine, however, A must win with the queen. Now either Z wins the king of hearts and Y the nine of spades or else Y takes two tricks in spades. In other words, Y Z must win three of the five tricks.

AS SHE LOST FAT SHE LOST PAIN Like many others, this woman found that excess fat did not come alone. In her case it brought sciatica with it. She did not know that both troubles were due to a common cause—hut she found they both gave way before one common remedy. "I have been a martyr to sciatica and kidney trouble for years. I tools Kruschen for about a month, when people began telling me how well I looked. I have lost fat that was no good to me, and now, after three months of Kruschen, I only go 168 lbs. instead of 185 lbs. I'm not going to say my pains have all gone, but I do say I'm wonderfully well, and hope to improve yet. I bless the day I started Kruschen."—Mrs. F. L. P. The six salts in Kruschen assist the internal organs to throw off each day the wastage and poisons that encumber the system. Then, little by little, that ugly fat goes—slowly, yes— but surely.
