Robert McGregor gave a report of the political action committee meeting held recently in Clinton. G. W. Montgomery, Huron Coun- ty agricultural representative, spoke briefly, pointing out that two organizations representing farm- ers, preparing briefs for presenta- tion to government. sometimes ad- vocate the ,same thing. and that these organizations should get to- gether and avoid overlapping. He told the meeting there should be concerted action to maintain the present standard of living. Mr. Hemingway also spoke. He contended that the hog producers' program is on the way to becom- ing successful. Special speaker for the even-. ing was Rev. Dr. J. Semple, of Egmondville United Church, who EXPERTS ADVISE MEANS TO PREVENT RUNT PIGS Prevention is always better than ure. The selection of pigs for breed- ing, stock is a continuous process on Ontario farms, and the selec- tion of vigorous breeding stock can control. to a considerable extent, the number of runt pigs that may be found in the litter. says Prof. R. P. Forshaw, Department of An- imal Husbandry, Ontario Agricul- tural College. • Good milking strains of sows, capable of farrowing and weaning large, even litters. should be one of the most important considera- tions in selecting breeding ,stock, The use of good rations during gestation and lactation, together with creep feeding. will bring out the inheritance in the litters and• should. in the long run. serve to reduce the percentage of runt pigs and resultant losses. A high av- erage weaning weight, rather than -the odcl exceptionally heavy wean- ling should be the aim of swine producers. says the O.A.C. author- ity. The runt pig that. down through the years, has been fed at a loss can now be fed at a profit_ as a result of recent advances in swine feeding, When runt pigs are not primarily such as a result of dis- ease, the use of improved nutri- tion in the form of highly fortified rations will bring about marked improvement in growth. The feed- ing of extra B vitamins and anti- biotics in addition to what would normally be considered a good ra- tion has given striking responses under both experimental and field •conditions. The B vitamin needs of the pigs are usually met by good balanced rations based on Canadian grains and mixed concentrates. However, mint pigs and those which are an the borderline nutritionally will benefit from extra B vitamins. 'Yeast has long 'been recognized as a good corrective for certain di- gestive conditions and as a source of B vitamins. But concentrates such as dried fermentation solubles and in some cases synthetic B vit- amins are now cheaper sources of these nutrients than yeast, says Prof. Forshaw. Both antibiotic feed supplements and B vitamin concentrates are available to feed dealers. There are a number of these concen- trates on the market for use by feed mixers and in home mixing. They are valuable in direct ratis to the extent to which they supply the nutrients needed. Feeds for runt pigs, if fortified at levels which may `be expected to give results, are higher in price than regular starter or grower feeds. The increase in price over regular feeds should reflect the extent to which the feed is forti- fied. If a good job is done in formulation of the feed with an eye both to results and returns on investment, the use of fortified feeds for runt or borderline' pigs is recommended as a sound invest- ment. The following is a recommended fortified ration to 'be fed to runt pigs: 'Ground barley or ground 440 lbs. Groi>!nd ,barley, or, OM* c�diIhi Stmediiiit ti 5i ►" 11i(s, 1 'wheat er gfautid corn (medium) 460 Oat groats (ground or roll - 400 400 160 80 40 20 10 15 ed) Wheat middlings Soybean oilmeal Meat meal Fish meal Ground limestone Feeding bonemeal Iiodized salt Feeding oil (400D -2400A) .. 5 Antibiotic .. 36-40 grams Vitamin B12 Riboflavin Pantothentic acid Niacin • 11 71 „ 77 9 mg. 4 grams 8 grams 12.8 grams Total 2,000 lbs. Such rations as,the foregoing are being widely used. Most feed man- ufacturers have developed formu- lae for runt pig feeds which are sold under various commercial trade names. Feeds designed for preventing or overcoming runt conditions in pigs should be fed until the pigs. are well started. Then, the pigs should be switched gradually to regular hog grower ration, in accordance with the general rule that all ra- tion changes should be gradual. WINTHROP Rev.

VALENTINE Boneless Ham DINNER Wednesday, Feb.13 5 - 7 o'clock ADULTS $1.00 Children, under 12, 40 Cents On WAIT Out's (Tpronto Star) Carpeted meeting rooms at tlie-. Royal York were heavy with rtp-- talgia one day last week as mere - hers of the Clydesdale, Pereherou and Belgian clubs met to ponder the future prospects of the heavy, work horse. ,Few farmers and breeders present could help won- dering how many more such an- nual meetings will be held. For the curse of obsolesence has been laid on the splendid animals they admire so much. To younger Canadians, Clydes- dale sounds like the name of a new subdivision and Belgian a na- tive of Belgium, while a Percher - on could be almost anything. The prud white-faced Clydes are said to be 'scarce even in their native Scotland, and hereabouts they have all but vanished from fields and furrows. Glistening draught hors- es with braided tails may still be seen at the CN,E, and the Royal, but only by those who take the trouble to. seek them out in the dim and echoing horse palace. How many still do? Many a farmer still keeps one team, pretending they are useful for certain jobs a tractor or truck cannot do. But it is often only sentiment that provides Queenie and Prince with a home. Breeders insist there will always be a place for a sound work horse, yet their statements lack conviction. In On- tario a few animals are sold ev- ery year for service in the north- ern bush where, from all accounts, they are ' not always treated the way a horse should be. True team- sters are also a' vanishing breed. Never fatted for slaughter and seldom sold for profit, the farm horse of another day, whatever his pedigree, was respected and.. held in affection. In all seasons and weathers he was the farmer's com- panion as well as his servant, as true to the land as his master and often as knowing. Farm life has changed, unquestionably for the better. But with the passing of the old way much that was good has been lost and no loss is felt more strongly than the disappear- ance of the horse. The breeders' clubs may have lost most of their meaning, but we hope they will go right on holding meetings. It is right and fitting that they should honor the Clydes- dale, the Belgian and the Perch - ern. Those honorable beasts help- ed make this country fruitful and habitable, told the meeting that although peo- ple' are leaving the farm, they will return and be glad of the oppor- tunity. For feeding the world—de- spite surpluses—we are perilously near not having enough, he declar- ed. In concluding his address, Dr. Semple emphasize that we must share our abundance with others; we must share our progress, and, above all, we must be more dili- gent students. We must expend more energy, more thought, more mental sweat. Alex Boyce, on behalf of the meeting. thanked Dr. Semple, Dur- ing the course of the meeting, en- tertainment was furnished by en- tertainers from Wingham. Lunch was served after the meeting.
