"Good morning, Tome. What makes your face look so long and tur uose so blue this morning," tquoth Smith, as he looked at his 'trainer's . glum countenance. "I have had another experience with a pta e:eating. sow," said Tom. "Five more pigs .gone this morning, and. I can't make_ it out. The sow was liberally fed on eorn and shorts. I want to get at the bottom +of this trouble, so, I have come over .to ask you your experience, ae I sup- pose you have had losses the same as f have." cow Snaith Overcame the Trouble. "Well, Tom, I. would be glad, to rive you my experience to this some tough luck. I used. to, lose a lot of ;,pigs in this sante sr ay up to about two yeare ago, when I suddenly tumbled -to whet the cause of it a all was, And applied a remedy that has proven a !success in stopping the sows crating -their young pigs." Tom bria'hteued up acid became very much interested. "C4 he is the secret?" he asked. "Well, you see, it's like this: Pigs -en the wild state or ruuutug in the woods usually get what •their sys- tems demand, in the variety of .food supplied by the great range of living 'things on which the pigs feed natur- ally. Pigs penned up have to take what we give them, and if we neglect tto supply 'a sufficient variety of food containing all the essentials ueces- eery to satisfy the demands of the pig, trouble will follow. And that trouble is usually manifested in the eating of the young pigs to satisfy • the craving for meat or :protein good." "That all seems reasonable enough," said Torn. "But fel me, how do you satisfy the pig's. demand for meat or protein foods?" Give the Sow a Balanced IFeod. Simply this. Balance up the sow's 3leed from they start, using alfalfa %ay, meat areal or digester tankage -as the source of protein and phos- phates. Feed alfalfa hay whatever the pigs will take. Feed tankage or meat meal, using one pound to each ten pounds of grain feed, either mix- ed with the grain or Ped ad lib, from a self -feeder. If the sow eats icer babies, Tom, it's your fault. Do as I[ have told you. Supply the domande of her body in the food you give her, end Veen she will be normal aud the pigs safe." .`fust Practice Intelligent Feeding, "Thousands of young nigs are lost -every spring through the neglect to teed intelligently. Nobody es er saw siau hi.er-'rouse fed row destroy ter ouu.'Mea y g t or protein in some form must be fed to mother pigs or there will be trouble."

IN line with new legislation bean passed in the varibus States of th American Union aimed to diminisl the alarming number of accident through reckless driving of automo . biles, particularly on level railroa crossings, the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada has re quested the Canadian Pacific Rail way to submit information bearing upon similar dangerous practices b motorists on various portions of its system so that use may be made of the information with a view to en- deavoring, through education, to minimize the occurrence of such dan- gerous practices. In a Bulletin issued by the Board of Railway Cointnissiosrers on June 15th 1. 923 54 eases of danger at pro- tected g P a tected crossings are cited for the period October, 1922, to May, 1923,. and of these fifty are declared to have been due to the carelessness of motor drivers. • "Motor accidents,” says the bulletin, "are becoming more frequent. Every 'sane motorist. deplores this, 'Ii accidents are to be lessened, the sane motorist must edu- cate ,. the culpably negligent motor- fists." g motor car who is determined to. beat e the train to it, r Coroners' juries are usually Riot s 'discriminating and put the Wanes- - where it belongs, but the genera d public, seeing the usual newspaper - heading, "Train Crashes into Motes- - Car," starts out with the Inipressie,at - that the train an mug necessarily Y be tie blame, when, as a.. matter of fact, se y fairer statement of the case weal be "Another Auto Gets in Path e$j Fast Train," Quite as often, tots, tint heading should read, ;".Flying Attie,. Dashes `into Moving Train." F. qucntly , the auto strikes the trali well behind the engine, a eonvincine indication. that the motorist too free quently treats. the railroad crossiargi with the same casual notice.that loc. gases :the intersection of a. quiets cottntry road, Out of 32.level crossing accideti4a;, that happened in Ontario during 1922, 22 were the result of the motor.._ ist not heeding the 'Stop signal, anal. seven were the result of running ititet, the lowered gates or actually passim under them after they were loweret t or while they were being lowere& One, titan had no headlights and ap- parently did not see the gates lever down while the remainder in.

They are net dangerous if motorists will take u small part of the care they exercise in turning on a city street. It is the motorist's carelessness that makes them dangerous, The train has right of way. Everyone knows what tnay happen if the plainly seen warning's are disregarded at a point where the meter' car can stop while the train cannot. The surprising 1 ,, part 'of it also is s that safeguards and precautions erected -by the railroads are so oft n p entirely' ignored, Time after time t newspaper reports show that cross- alarm bells, barrier ss a gates and even watchmen waving "stop" sig s nils cheats nothing to the man in the b •
