M. Hopper, Dominion Experimental Farm, Bran­ don, Man. The presence of either of these ailments causes heavy losses of young pigs, and those that survive are likely to be unthrifty and unprofit­ able. The medicinal treating of pigs for worms or disease is laborious and costly. The most dependable means of avoiding trouble due to these caus­ es is the adoption of suitable prevent­ ive measures. This involves mainten­ ance of sanitary conditions in the pens, yards, and equipment, especially during the period from birth until the young pigs are weaned and well start­ ed on feed. The sows should be washed with tjjarm water and soap a few days be­ fore farrowing time. This precaution is necessary to remove worm eggs that may be adhering to the skin or hair. The farrowing pen should be J thoroughly cleaned in preparation for j the sow. This can be accomplished I through the use of boiling water and _ lye, using lye at the rate of one pound to each forty gallons of water. The floors, walls, and equipment such as troughs and guard rails, should be well scrubbed with a deck brush old broom to remove all the filth which worm eggs are likely to be em­ bedded. For complete protection the sow and litter should be moved to a clean pen at te_n-day intervals during the suckling period. When the weather is suitable for the young pigs to be outdoors, the sow and litter may be transferred to clean, uncontaminated ground that has not been used for swine for at least two years. The rigid adoption of these precautionary measures at. • the Experimental Farm, Brandon, has 1 materially reduced the losses of young pigs and improved their general health during the whole feeding per­ iod. Better health of feeder pigs re­ sults in a reduction of the feed re­ quired to rear animals to market weight, and increases their rate of gain, The practice of using the same area; of ground year after year for pigs is ( certain to eventually result in serious i trouble. Strict sanitation in and about. the pens,<and the utilizing of clean ■ ground each year for the** sows and litters is sound procedure in the in­ terest of healthy, thrifty bacon hogs. Such measures provide the best insur­ ance against the heavy losses that oc­ cur annually due to worm infestation t and the soil-borne diseases.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “MY FELT HAT’1 happened back in 19218.PricesIt _ _ t were good, and money floated in a rather free and easy way down hero at Lazy Meadows, it is happened that I was in need of a new felt hat, and so decided to buy one. The Clerk was an affable sort of ehap, who strange as it may seem could find only a very expensive blue felt in my size. I bought the hat, the dearest I have ev­ er owned before or since. Birst of all it was used on Bundays and holidays, and in the meantime re­ posed in a hat box carefully deposit- For some time the expensive felt remained in the hat box, but one "day when Mrs. Phil refused to ride into town with me if I wore my dog-eared straw hat (the one the horse chewed) I slipped into the front spare bed­ room and donned my felt one. It seemed like positive desecration to wear that hat on such a petty errand as going to the village for the gro­ ceries . . > but the mischief was done. That’s how I came to wear the good felt every day. I’ve been wearing that felt hat ev­ ery day since. It bears no resemblance at the present time to that creation I took from a store eleven years -ago. Chop and water and milk and rain and chaff and dust , „ they have all con­ tributed to a thick coating that pre­ serves the original felt. True, it’s shape has gone, and it is not entirely unlike to one of those pictures of na­ tive Indian hunts of Afghanistan. The brim droops and sags in a most dis­ couraged way, and should I ever part the band from the hat there will be at least a half bushel of weed and grain seeds. Swtfat has a ring around the hat of contrasting cotours*to the drabness of the dirt. » But somehow I can’t part with that hat. The first thing after getting up and putting on the fire in the morn­ ing, is to slip on that hat. i wear it the greater majority of my waking hours. It’s what you might call a thinking cap, because the greatest stimulant I have to thought, is to be able to lift the hat up just so, and out and four streets at Long Branch, Ont., were covered with swirling- wat­ ers and big blocks of ice. One man was almost drowned when he tried t$ save a rowboat from the pounding ice blocks which were carried down the lake by the first rpsh of the tor­ rent. The temperature drop during the night left the ice piled up at the river mouth and workmen used nine stick's of dynamite to open the jam. 'to while ruminating on a'knotty prob­ lem allow my fingers to scratch at an unruly shock of hair. Mrs. Phil is continually deploring the condition of the hat. She keeps telling me continually, how she is go­ ing to burn it, but I do think she has a spark' of affection for it as well as myself, Many’s the time she will slip it on, when’ she goes to bring in the clothes, and I have seen her after din­ ner when I would be reading the newspaper, slip it on and come back from the barn carrying egg in it. But she cuts up a fuss when I forget and set it down on a clean table-cloth, and you will occasionally see her pick it up in her finger-tips and gingerly move it, as if it should be under quar­ antine somewhere. Just why I hang onto that hat I do not know. Perhaps because it was ex­ pensive, I am trying to get the worth of it . . . or maybe I like to look back and think how it felt to buy, such an expensive article . . . and wonder what it would be like to see money again, and find out if they Still put the pictures of bank directors on bills. Mr. Chamberlain can have his um­ brella . . . give me my old felt hat any day. THE VALUE OF WHITE-FISH MEAL FOR DAIRY COWS REDHEAD NO. 1 May Lawrence, Brooklyn, won her title tn New York and will defend her honors against the prettiest blonde and prettiest brunette for World’s Rair honors, (Experimental Farms News) White-fish meai is an excellent sup­ plement to home-crown grains for the feeding of swine and poultry. Its value in the dairy cow ration, how­ ever has not been so firmly establish­ ed. Practical feeding tests were con­ ducted at the Dominion Experimental j Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia, states C. D, T. Cameron, the past five years, in­ volving 2,352 animal days on test, comparing white-fish meal and linseed oilmeal as, (1) affecting milk yield, (2) butterfat percentage and (3) body weight of Jersey and Guernsey cows. I These tests were conducted under the plan of the double-reversal sys­ tem of experimental feeding, in which one-half the number of animals on test were fed one ration and the other one-hafl the second ration for a per­ iod of 28 days, after which the rat­ ions were switched and the test con­ tinued, all animals completing two periods on each ration. The milk and butterfat yields are based on the av­ erage production during the last two weeks of each period. The basal ration used in these ex­ periments consisted of home-grown grains, (oats and barley), 300 pounds, supplemented with 50 pounds of fish meal, in one case and 125 pounds , of linseed oilmeal in the other and fed at the rate of 7 pounds daily for each pound of butterfat produced. In the final experiment, 4% of mineral mat­ ter was added to the oilmeal ration and 1% iodized salt to the fish meal ration. ( Both lots received a good quality hay, and roots at the rate of 25 pounds per atu'mal per day. The average daily yield of milk per cow was 21.8 pounds and 21.9 pounds and the average per cent, fat in the milk produced 5.1 and 5.2 for the fish meal and oilmeal periods, respectively, indicating no significant difference in the value of the two rations as used in this experiment. No significant changes occurred in body weight and no apparent effect ott the flavour of the milk produced resulted from the feeding of fish meal when forming 14 per cent, of the meat mixture, These, results indicate that white­ fish meal is a satisfactory protein sup­ plement’in the dairy cow ration and, per pound of digestible protein, about equal in value to linseed oilmeal for milk production.
