THERE IS NO WASTE THE Ji lSHURGAINj k WAY A 1 A A BETTER HOGS TO M ARKET IN SHORTER TIME Do you know it takes an average of one hour chore time per month to look after, one hog? You can save time, which is worth money, by reducing the feeding time necessary to grow a hog'out to market weight. Time required to feed a hog from birth to market weight: (a) On grain alone — 8 to 10 months. (b) On grain + SHUR-GAIN —5 to 6 months. Labor saving is 3 hrs. per hog (30 hrs. on a litter of 10 hogs) SHUR-GAIN fed hogs eat less too! r-—————■—-------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SHUR-GAIN HOG FEEDING PROGRAM 10 days to 10 weeks ......

You’ve heard plenty about the new supplements to feeci with low-quality roughages, good for just that. Today certain feed employ highly-trained fieldmen to promote act as trouble shooters. In our opinion if you are having sickness among your animals, you should call a veterinarian. If you aren't satisfied with your net profit from livestock then consult your feed dealer or better still a day at O.A.C. discussing your prob­ lem with expert feed men, who don’t care who you buy from, would be common sense. After all, that’s what they are paid for and also you are the guy who pays them. As for supplements—well we don’t exactly condemn them, but we do know this in relation to cattle—if you feed a high-quality roughage and enough of it, you don’t have a monstrous feed bill, and your cattle won’t <lo so badly either. Of course, salt and mineral (one part limestone and two parts bonemeal) fed free choice is necessary. On© elderly farmer we know snorted with disdain when we asked him if he fed any concen­ trates to his cattle. His exact words were: “Just who in h—1 do you think I’m working for?” No fooling, he may be right. His stock is thrifty looking and well fed on home-grown feed. At the University of Illinois they make many feed xtests and the following is one suits published: •First Lot: 13 head calves were wintered cember 17 to Xpril 20 Supplement 'A at the rate of 3 % lbs. daily per head. In addition they were on full feed of corn silage with salt and mineral, free choice. Second Lot: 12 liead^pf 320 lb. calves got same ration with this exception: two pounds of shelled corn instead of Purdue Supple­ ment A. In other words they got home-grown feed. Results: First Lot: Average gain 274.3 lbs @ 15.31 per 10<0< lbs. gain. Second Lot: Average gain 271.- 71bs. @ 12.74 per 100 lbs. gain. The gain per acre of silage fed on basis of 15 tons to the acre was: •26,000 lbs. for second lot. 25,540 lbs. for first lot. , The cost of supplement was, figured at: $100 a ton for Supplement A. $75 a ton for shelled corn. If more research at this level They are companies men as sales and dim of“the re- of 332 lb. from De- on Purdue inwas available and published this province we do not doubt that our net profits would in­ crease, In the words of our elderly friend, let’s figure out our net profit from each acre farmed, to h—1 with the gross. Let’s work for ourselves. DID YOU KNOW? Vitamin A is available in many forms but for any animal with a rumen—alfalfa or grass is the cheapest form available.

Ask Gas Tax Be Rescinded Directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meet­ ing in Clinton at the agricultural office board room, will forward a resolution received from the McKillop Township Federation of Agriculture, to the Ontario Fede­ ration of Agriculture in view of having it in the annual brief which will be presented to the Ontario Cabinet in late Novem­ ber.

Here you may still see the ruins of the past war, but you will also note the superb buildings which have been erect­ ed in the ruins. Rebuilding There are many cities such as these. Frankfurt further north, Stuttgart to renberg to Munich and only a few, have all taken their toll in dam­ ages, but are readily rebuilding with the most .modern ideas and some with future proposed plans. As far as the Canadians being here is concerned, it seems to be working out very well. The people understand that we are here as NATO personnel and not occupa­ tion forces. When travelling through this country you will very seldom see farming carried on with tractors and modern implements. When the French came into Germany, they relieved the people of their horses or any farm machinery they may have had. Today you will see ox teams and cows pull­ ing ploughs, wagons, etc. I have noticed .at different times two boys pulling a cultivator in the fields.
