Weaning time is the most critical period of the hog's life. The ap- proved practice is to wean at about six weeks. Teach the litter to eat 3 weeks before weaningiusing a crib or creep which excludes the sow, or a sep- arate pen. 'Feed, in a trough, ptee ferably, middlings with skim -milk. With middlings at present =obtain- able, finelv ground sifted oats is best. Feed only small quantities at first and avoid baying decomposed or stale food left 'over. After -weaning, add shorts gradually un to equalfparts and from the secorid to the third month add barley or corn as one-third the total meal ration.

Within the last year at the Central Exeprionental Farm, experimeet and subsequent practice has indicated a system where's- weaning is simpli- -Red and the bad results of careless feedine practipally eliminated. Ina stead of "hand -weaning" ei freeding the weaning pigs milk and meal in a trough, a small self -feeder is substi- tuted in the creep, skim-militt being fed in a separate trough. Finely ground oats and shorts, and later ground 'elevator screenings with . a small portion of ground corn, if avail- able, are placed in the feeder, Thus, the little pig feeds himself when and as much as he sees fit, is able to elim- inate from the meal eaten, much fib- rous material which he must consume willy-nilly where fed a slop, and in- cidentally accustoms himself gradually to skim -milk. Except in eases of ear - 1, litters, the little pigs are given ac- cess to outdoor runs at all times from two to three weeks of age. Excellent growth is "shown, the pigs developing clean, long and thrifty, with 110 evi- dence of thickness pudginess or lack of energy. Absohitely,no evidence of -indigestion or scouring -has been seen, and in one instance where a dozen litters were so fed at a central feeder the percentage of "culls" -was remark- ably low. When finally removed from the sow, ei -- so weaned, particularly where their are to be self -fed subse- quently, give minimum eviden&e of the cheek in growth, usually incident- ] al to weaning in a greater or lesser degree. In short, while the exeprien- ced hog -man can hand wean his pigs with maximum results, the farmer lacking experience or depending upon ever thanging attendants, is likely to run into d• cultes. The method iffides- cribed be des ,reducing labor appar- ently rem es the danger of irregular and over -feeding. Both method and results might be described as auto - matin i In the f'oregoinganethod, skim -milk Plays an important part. Where this or other milk product is unobtainable,• experimental evidence would show that good ehts may be raised by fol- lowing this method and supplying tankage, blood -meat fish meal or some similar animal product he a separate corepartment of the 'feeder, not milted with the regular Meal. Pigs, so fed, have shown- onlv- slightly, inferior- onality to skim -milk Rite, but the cost to produce would seem to be consider- ably increased. i e CANADA —After several- atterapts by- the Woodstock Board of Trade to secure I mail delivery. for Woodstock, the Gov-, erninent has at last acceded to the uestr and AugiifiefittoneWas. rieSeive.ci oa sMonday that delVeri would be started in a very short time.
