MILLIONS OF HOGS Since the beginning of the war up to the end of 1944, Canada has ship- ped to Britain 2,700,000,000 pounds of bacon, the equivalent of 22,500,000 hogs produced on'Canadian farms. In the five calendar years, 19449-44 inclu- sive, slaughterings .of hogs in inspect- ed establishments in Canada totalled 33,865,000 head., or as many as were killed in similar plants in the previous ten. years.

This last caution naturally applies to new lawns more than patching. Other early vegetables that will Stand some tough weather are spin- ach, radish and lettuce.

They should have •half as much room be- tween as they will grow tall. This means about four or five inches for things like nasturtiums, less for alyssum, much more or tall mari- golds, cosmos or apider plants. With vegetables, a couple of inch:" es -between plants is sufficient, also leaf lettuce, early carrots, beets. Beans and peas ,should have four to six inches between plants, and as all the seed usually germinates it should, be planted to about this far apart. Rows should be 15 inches to two feet apart. Corn is usually planted three to six seeds to a hill, about 18 inches apart each way, or rows two to three feet apart. • CANADA EATS BUTTER Of the butter- produced in Canada and consumed,,in the first six months of ,1944, household uaers got 80.15% • quota users suph as restaurants, etc., 9%, :industrial users, 1.6%, priority users such az the lighting services, 7.2%, while 1.7% was shipped to Newfoundland, the British West In- dies and Bermuda. old Building Removed • The old store, building on Hamilton Street last. accibied by Chas.
