Omit have been pure 'cussedness'
that caused her to eat her offspring.
She was well fed, too, on corn and
wheat shorts; hunger could not be
at the bottom of this infanticidal
ease,"
Tum went *bout his work mum-
bling to himself as to what could be
Ste matter. Dearly airy ljttle pigs
had been lost by (titch cannibalism
during the two preceding years.
Bind Out the Weak Spot.
"Where le the weak spot in my
system of feeding swine, anyway,"
he questioned himself. "I will go
over and see Bill Smith, the most
euccesefuf pig man in the district,
and see lffi he can clear up this Dig -
eating business that la causing me so
much loss."
"Good morning, Tom. What
makes your face look so long and
your nose so blue this morning,"
quoth Smith, as he looked at his
visitor's glum countenance.
"I have bad another experience
with a pig -eating cow," said Tom.
"Five more pigs gone this morning,
and I can't make It out. The sow
was liberally ted on corn asM
shorts. I want to get at the bottom
of this trouble, so I have some over
to ask you your experience, as I sup-
pose you have had Metres the same
as I have."
How Smith Overcame the Trouble.
"Well, Tom, I would be glad to
give you my experience In thle some
tough luck. (• used to lose a lot of
pigs 1n this same way up to about two
years ago, when I suddenly tumbled
to what the cause of it all was, and
applied a remedy that has proven a
success In stopping the sows eating
their young pigs."
Tom brightened tip and became
very much interested. "What's the
secret?' he asked.
"Well, you see, it's like this: Pigs
in the wild state or running 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
to aupply a sufficient variety of food
containing all the essentials neces-
sary to satisfy the demands of the
pig, trouble will follow. And that
trouble la usually manifested in the
eating of the young pigs to satisfy
the craving for meat or protein
food."
"That all seems reasonable
enough," said Tom. "But tell me,
how do you satisfy the pig's demand
for meat or protein foods?"
Give the Sow a Balanced Feed.
"Simply this. Salanee up the sow's
feed from the start, using alfalfa
hay, meat meal 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 fed ad lib. from
self -feeder. If the sow eats her
abler, Tom, it's your fault. Do as
have told you. Supply the demands
f her body in the food you give her,
and then she will be normal and the
iga safe."
uat Practice Intelligent Feeding.
"Thousands of young pigs are lost
very spring through the neglect to
eed intelligently. Nobody ever saw
slaughter -house fed sow destroy
er young. Meat or protein in some
orm must be fed to mother pigs or
here will be trouble."
I see it, Bill, and I'll do it, too,
from now on, and save the young-
sters for bacon," said the new thor-
oughly enlightened and delighted
Tom. --L. Stevenson, Secy Ontario

Rationing the Sow.
Rationing the sow is the surest
way to forestall trouble. Overfeeding
at farrowing time makes her feverish
and nervous; more likely to trample
ber offspring and less able, often, to
secrete milk properly.
Don't feed the sow at all during
the twenty-four hours before farrow-
ing, and during the week prior to
that keep corn out of the ration.
Corn is an especially heating feed.
Instead, feed ground oats, barley or
bran, any one or two of these, or all
three if you like.
And don't feed the sow at all for
from twelve to eighteen hours after
farrowing. After that, even, go slow,
taking from a week to ten days to
get the animal back on full feed.
Scours in young pigs is one of
the troublesome conditions which
arise from faulty feeding of the mo-
ther. Next in importance to rationing
comes condition qk the pen. Clean,
dry pens do much to prevent diges-
tive disorders and rheumatism in"
both the sow and the pigs.
Warts on Horses.
Warts are very difficult to eradi-
cate, especially situated near the
mouth or eyes. The exact cause of
such growths is unknown, but no
doubt indicates abnormal nutrition of
the affected skin. Irritation of the
skin may be a contributory cause.
The warts with small necks can be
twisted off or hacked with a silk
thread, when they will drop off.
Masses of small warts will disappear
in time if smothered daily with a
thick paste of equal quantities of
cold -pressed castor oll, salt and
dowers of sulphur.

be oho fie thoustutde of dofara.
It ie.'a:islt$e premise that the ordim-

give a .th6t �" ht to" the coming funeral,
and the future tombstone; the cost
of pro. g, his wf,l and toy lawyer's
rake -of,, Yet all 'these mean a sub-
stantial eifee out of his estate; -
Suppose a Toronto mut worth $59,=
one has died. The first .'thing to be
done is;- r pge for. a funeral. That
includea /casket, emballiting, the
hearse, carriages and flowers. The
cost, of course, will depend en the
taste of, .t,he' widow. If she wants to
have an .expensive funeral she may
spend as 'high as $500. She may not
decide 't . lay out more than $300.
One of . the most reliable funeral di-
rectors in 'Toronto declares that the'
cost of a good funeral is much lower
than that, and that the average is
below $200.
"Many .well-to-do people," he said.
"have very conservative ideas about
burial and keep the coat down very
rigidly....They do not seek .to .have
display. As a matter of fact, we
find froth experience that a person's
financial 'stindjng has very little to
do with the. kind of funeral hie rel-
atives seek. Some people Thom you
would- not think could afford it, seek
an elaborate coffin and expensive
flowers. On the other hand, I have
buried one of.the most prominent cit-
izens •of Toronto, who died worth dot
$50,000, but several. hundreds of
thousands, of dollars, tnd his funeral
expenses did not reach a total of
$200."
It would be perhaps safe to put
down the cost of the funeral of the
subject of this article at $250.
Before this takes place a burial
plot' has had to be secured, unless the
family already possesses one. Here
again costs vary. If the widow wish-
es the body to rest in the crypt of a
mausoleum it will cost between $256
tin -$350. The chances are, however,
that she will just seek an ordinary
grave.
But ordinary graves nowadays in
Toronto cost money. The price has
gone up'tremendously in recent years.
Fifteen years ago a single grave
could have been bought for a five -
dollar bill. To -day it will cost $25.
Fifteen years ago a three or four
grave plot could have been bought in
a good cemetery for about $40. To-
day a nice four grave plot in a choice
location will cost $150. Of course,
there are elaborate plots for which
hundreds, even thousands of dollars
are paid.'
But it is presumed that the burial
of this man is being done without un-
due ostentation. "It is safe to put
down the cost of the plat at $Ir5O.
Rut this may be regarded as an asset
to the estate. For there will be
three unfilled graves.
Some time in the near future the
widow will want to raise a tombstone
or a monument to mark the spot
where her husband lies: She will find
this an expensive item. Of course, if
she wants to she can merely place a
little flat stone for $50 on the grave.
But, as one maker of monuments in
Toronto expressed it, I should think
that a man dying worth $50,000 should
have a stone placed over him ,worth
from $500 to $1,000."
"Would the -$500 stone be fairly
elaborate ?" one asked.
"No," was the reply. "It would be
just a nice, simple, little, dignified
stone. It would not be nearly as good
a stone as the $1,000 one. We sell a
lot about this price."
However, to be conservative, the
sum of $500 may be written down
as the amount necessary to raise a
tcmbstone worthy of the $50,000 hus-
band.
So that, so far, $900 of the estate,
or nearly two per cent. has gon•: in
placing the dead man in his grave
and suitably marking the spot.
Now comes the matter of probat-
ing or proving the will. If the dead
man has left his money in life in-
surance, naming his widow as his
beneficiary, it will be paid directly to
her without need of probating and
free from succession duty. But if it
eensists of insurance payable not to
a named beneficiary, but to the estate
or if the estate consists of real and
personal property, land, houses,
money, bonds, etc., the will must be
probated and succession duties must
be paid.
The fees in the Surrogate Court
of Ontario for probating a will of
$50,000 will average about $120. if
the estate consists of real property it
will come to a tittle more than this;
if of personal property, a little less.
If the widow knows that her hus-
band was in the habit of paying all
she owed she may assume there are
no debts outstanding. But if she
fears that there may be some claims
against the estate she will have to
advertise. This may cost $20. It
may cost $50.
Next comes the succession duties
which must he paid the province of
Ontario. As the estate goes to the
widow and children and is not over
$50,000, the duty will be one per cent.,
or $500. If the heirs had been merely
collaterals, or if the estate had been
over $50,000, the amount of the suc-
cession duty would have been propor-
tionately higher.'
Then the fees of the executor 'will
have to be paid. The widow may be
the executor, bet even if she is the
estate will have to pay her the usual
fees. These range from three to five
per cent. of the total estate, and in
this case mould be between $1,500 and
$2,500. The solicitor's fees for

iug notes as among those worthy of
consideration:
DETERMINATION OF EGO -LAYING
A.'• teat was made of the feeling
method, to determine Its accuracy.
Thirty bens that w"+re under trasnest
record were eubjected to tIW 1eelln$
process for eight days: January 17
1.0 24.
The results of 'feeling" were
checked up and tented perfectly with
the "trapnestfng," indicating that It
is Quite possible for any careful per,
ton to determine which.bens are lay-
ing by feeling the bird for the
presence of the egg in the oviduct,
la the early mornings before she
leaves the perch. The method also
has an advantage 1n that It elimin-
ates the necessary confinement of
Vie birds in a • trapnest" fora period
which- is frequently longer. than Ie
actually required to produce an egg.
The great disadvantage o the
feeling method is that it is memo-
ticable for pedigree breeding, inas-
much that the eggs from Individual
birds cannot be recorded.
CAPONS.
Thirty cockerels were operated on
when twelve weeks old. Theae birds
were a thrifty and well -grown lot,
overaging 2% pounds 1n weight.
After caponizing, they were kept un-
der thesame conditions as the cock-
erels. The feed cost for a pound in-
crease in weight was slightly leas for
the cockerels up to six months of age.
At this time the cockerels and capons
weighed the same. These birds were
killed for Christmas trade when 264
days old, and weighed, plucked, 8
pounds 2 ounces. The percentage of
offal was low, being but 18 pet cent.
of the total weight. The birds were
not orate fed, but were finished on
a liberal milk ration. The quality of
the flesh was excellent, and the
wholesale price received was 80
cents per pound. The advantages of
canonizing are that an excellent qual-
ity of flesh can be produced without
confining the biros in small feeding
crates and the tender flesh can be
retained to a greater age and weight.
The cockerels made lues as good
gains, and when milk fed in crates
for two weeks, produced the same
high grade of flesh. Following la the
feed cost of an eight -pound two -ounce
capon:
Feed cost to rear to end of third
month
Feed cost to rear during fourth
month
Feed coat to rear during fifth
month
Feed coat to rear during elxth
month
Feed cost to rear during sev-
enth month
reed coat to rear during eighth
month
Feed coat to rear during De-
cember, 20 days

These birds were *old for $2.43
each wholesale, leaving $1.11% per
bird. From this we can deduct 20
cents, the price paid for the bird es
a day-old chick, sad have 91% cents
per bird for labor and shelter.
HANDLING BABY CHICKS.
In another experiment a thousand
ane -day-old chicks were procured
from two reliable local breeders. The
first day they remained in the incu-
bator, and on the second day they
were transferred to the brooder, but
were not fed nodi eorty-eight hours
old. The _following hints on general
treatment are given:
Do not chill or overheat the chic-
kens, or disastrous results will fol-
low. If they pant they are too hot,
and if they huddle together they are
not warm enough.
Do not overfeed during the first
week.
Change the water daily and see
that it is perfectly clean.
Give plenty of green food.
Feed sour skim Intik whenever
possible.
Do not forget to supply charcoal,
grit, and shell.
Make all change of food and feed-
ing gradually.
Clean and disinfect brooder often.
Do not use damp, mouldy feed or
straw.
Never allow chicks to crowd in
brooders or colony houses.
Place chicks on the range in colony
houses, after the eighth week.
Do not let the cockerels and pullets
run together on the range. -L. Stev-
enson, Sec., Dept, of Agriculture.
A farm needs a windbreak in sum-
mer as much as in winter. Did you
ever notice the difference In the gar-
den and fruit plantation on two
farms, one sheltered from the hot
southwest wind and the other, ex-
posed to it? The windbreak pays in
dollars and cents.
When a new house is bullt among
trees, none should be cut except those
where the house actually stands. Af-
ter the home is occupied, one can tell
better which trees to retain for shade
where it la most needed.
When our great - grandmothers
were girls,' tomatoes were called
"love apples," and one or two plants
were grown In the garden or Sower
beds on account of their bright red
fruits. No one thought of eating
them, for they were considered pols-
onous. Ween after a time ft was
found that they were not poisonous,
people began to eat them and they
soon became one of the standard
garden vegetables.

Canada on n
oftiieFuture
NADA is endeavor-
ing to regain her
after -the -war stride
in the midst of many
difficulties, - debt,
deflation and depression being
some of them.
Quack remedies and academic
theories beset her path on every
side. Some suggest that our debt
worries can best be eased Ity go-
ing further into -debt. Others
preach blue ruin, decry their own
country and indulge in mis-
chievous propaganda generally,
while still others look for a new
social order or some miraculous
sign.to indicate a better coming
day -all this in apparent forget-
fulness of the fact that just as
there was no royal road to win
the war, there is now no royal
road to pay for it or regain our
former buoyancy, vigor and
confidence.
Some are leaving Canada hop-
ing to escape taxation, only to
find there is no escape anywhere.
In seeking for easy remedies too
many of us overlook the fact
that the greatest remedy is hon-
est, hard work faithfully and
intelligently performed, accom-
panied by old-fashioned thrift.
It takes time, it takes Ratience,
it takes grit. But every Canadian
knows in his heart that Canada
is coming through all right.
Our Experience Proves It
Look back over the path Canada
has trod. The French Colonists,
cut off from civilization by 3,000
miles of sea, faced a continent -
a wilderness -without the aid of
even a blazed trail. They had
to fight savages, frosts, scurvy,
loneliness and starvation.
The United Empire Loyalists
subdued an unbroken forest in
one generation, growing their
first wheat amid the stumps and
snags of the new clearing.
The Selkirk settlers came to
Manitoba when the prairie was a
buffalo pasture, and grew wheat
where none had grown before
and where those who knew the
country best at that time said
wheat would never grow. To-
day the Canadian prairies grow
the finest wheat in the world.
In proportion to population Canada
stands to -day among the wealthiest
nations in the world, with average
savings .on deposit. per family of
$800. Canada's foreign trade per head
of .population stands amongst the
highest of the commercial nations,
being $192 per capita in 1922-23, as
compared with $135 in 1913-14, the
"peak" year before the war.
N.::47 Opportunities for
Canada
In Canada, although prices in the
world markets fell below war level,
our farmers reaped last autumn the
largest grain crop in Canadian his-
tory, and Canada became the world's .
largest exporter of wheat, thus in
large measure making up for lower
prices.
Last year, Great Britain, after an
agitation extending over thirty years,
removed the embargo on Canadian
cattleand a profitable and practically
unlimited trade is opening up for
Canadian stockers and�feedera.
"The 20th Century belongs to
Canada"[ -if -Canadians keep faith.
The next ar4icle will suggest prao..
tical opportunities for profit making
on our Canadian farms.
