still often see you and we wish you
many happy years of married life.
May good fortune smile on you as
readily as your smile has been cast
upon us. We ask you to accept this
gift as a token of our love and regard
for you,

Acute Indigestion Relieved

The treatment; which put this

Read, what he says:—
"Two years ago I suffered very
much from indigestion, loss of
appetite, and a most severe pain
in my back. Food soured in my
stomach. I felt most miserable
after meals, and had no desire or
appetite for them. A friend advised
me to try Kruschen Salts. I did so,
and I am most happy to testify that
after a short time I felt the greatest
relief, I continued taking Kruschen
till I felt myself quite better and a.
new man. I feel as light-hearted as
I did twenty years ago.”—W.B.

becoming more seed minded is shown
in the annual report of the work done,
by subsidized seed plants which has
recently been released by the Ont. De
partment of Agriculture. Ninety-twO'
of these plants are now in operation
throughout the Province, the major
ity of which are prepared to scour,
iclean, grade and separate cereal crops.
During the year July 1st,, 1939, to
June 30th, 1940, 18,743 farmers took,
advantage of the equipment available
in these plants for the preparation of
their seed.
Some 1,197,693 bushels of grain and
5,788,104 pounds of clover and grass
seed were cleaned.
This is a decided increase over pre
vious years, states John D. MacLeod,
Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, and'
shows that farmers realize the use of
clean, well-graded seed will result in
greater yields, cleaner farms, lower
costs of production, better grades,
better prices and more profits.

HOG CHOLERA
i'
«3r jUJUV/SrVMff .
Active Co-op&ration of every Ontario
Farmer is Necessary to ST AMP IT OUT
ONTARIO has a really serious outbreak of Hog Cholera. This deadly infectious
disease of swine has reached alarming proportions in the counties of Essex and
Kent, with smaller outbreaks in Lambton, Elgin, Norfolk and Haldimand. If the
disease is not controlled it is certain to spread to neighbouring counties. Every
precaution must be taken. The Ontario Department of Agriculture is actively co
operating with the Federal Department of Agriculture and farmers in their efforts
to stamp out this disease. . ■ ■ «•
If the spread of Hog Cholera is not checked NOW, every pig raiser in Ontario
stands to lose. Only the immediate and wholehearted co-operation of every Ontario
farmer will stamp out this menace to the hog industry.
*1
7 Lr'r. ■ ,
HOW TO PREVENT HOG CHOLERA
The Departments of Agriculture strongly recommend every pig raiser to take the
following precautions:
J Confine all hogs to pens or yards that have
" been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected
with an approved disinfectant.
2 In centres of heavy infection, if possible,
" keep hogs away from straw stacks as this is
a place usually frequented by birds such as
starlings, sparrows, and pigeons, which may
have come direct from an infected barnyard.
Destroy as many pigeons, sparrows and starlings
as possible.
Keep dogs out of the pig pen. Keep your
" dog under control in the daytime and tied
up at night. Keep stray dogs off your farm.
Burn any dead pigs or bury them so deeply
" that stray dogs will not dig them up.
C Keep all doors closed and protect the win-
" dows so that no dogs or birds can enter the
peris*
<£ Do not visit neighbours' hog pens
nor allow neighbours to Visit yours.
Always have a pan Of strong disinfectant
" solution just inside the door so that anyone
entering the pen can disinfect his shoes, AND
INSIST ON ITS USE.
Keep livestock trucks off your farm -—if you
" have stock to ship, load up at the end of the
lane. Disease-bearing refuse dropping from the
bottom of the truck might easily be carried to
your hogs.
DO NOT FURCHASE "FEEDER HOGS"
except from dependable sources within a
clear! district.
10. Isolate newly purchased breeding stock
" for at least three weeks before permitting
them to run with hogs already on the premises.
11. In areas where hog cholera exists be
extremely careful about breeding outside
sows with your boar.
12. Where hogs are serum treated, follow to
" the letter instructions given by .the Vet
erinary Inspector of the Federal Department of
Agriculture.
13. Feed only carefully balanced rations.
* Well-fed hogs have the strongest resis
tance to disease.
Hog Cholera is highly contagious and can spread very rapidly.
The above precautions, put into practice, TODAY, will do
much to prevent the spread ci this deadly disease.
