As an added pre­ caution the sod can be sprinkled with a solution >of ferrous sulphate made by dissolving one tablespoonful of ferrous sulphate in one quart of water. The ferrous sulphate can be procured from a. local drug store. As a definite preventive for anaemia the .dosing of each pig with an iron compound is the most sure method. This .is also a corrective if used early enough after anaemia develops. The feeding of iron to the nursing sow will not help, as this will not increase the iron in her milk. The iron must be ■given direct to the little pigs. A con­ venient form of iron is either reduced iron or powdered ferrous sulphate. At the present time the powdered ferrous sulphate is much more economical. Treat the little pigs when a week old by putting on the tongue of each as much of the iron compound as might be held on a small five cent piece, The treatment should be repeated when the pigs are two weeks of age, and again at three weeks, Another method is to dose each pig daily if or at least a two-week period, starting at one week of age, with a teaspoonful of a ferrous sulphate solution (1 table­ spoon ferrous sulphate dissolved in one quant of water). Prevention is by all odds cheaper than a cure. It will pay to adopt one of the suggested methods of prevent­ ing anaemia as a standard practice in the raising of pigs.

Pla.tes manufactured at the Ontario reformatory at Guelph cost about cents each, the total cost each year being in the neighborhood of $60,000. Where he came but he was hale off through the Controller Pegs Output of Cars Ottawa — Production of Canadian automobile plants which were not turning out cars before December 2nd last year, has been limited under an order of the motor vehicle controller published in The Canada Gazette. The order says no person who was not manufacturing automobiles in Canada prior to that date may not manufacture more automobiles of any one kind, type or model, than the number of that particular kind which could be imported under permit from the Na­ tional Revenue Department. Ontario Unable to Have Permanent Car Markers, Says Nixon Tosonto — Provincial Secretary Harry Nixon said that the use of per­ manent motor markers in Ontario was not praticable, due to the larp‘e turn­ over of* cars each years. His remarks followed a suggestion that the province adopt the English system of issuing permanent markers, thus effecting a saving in the cost of manufacturing C.N.R.

COSENS & BOOTH Wingham Representing Ottawa the the 441 per cent, over 1939, the annual report of the- system scheduled to be tabled in the House of Commons stated. The net revenue available for interest after other income and profit and loss re* quirements had been met was $33,- 474,443, or $22,839,419 more than in 1939. The deficit by which the rev­ enues failed to meet interest on fund­ ed debts held by the public and was met by appropriations by parliament was $16,965,044. This was $23,130,475 less than in 1939. gime and clamored with increasing fer­ vor for war against Germany. The rush of men to the colors was swift. Trains, automobiles and taxicabs were commandeered to take them to the frontiers; military trucks rumbled through the streets; and overhead the sky was filled with Yugoslavia’s war­ planes..

Have Brought 1,255 Cars Feed Grain To Ontario Toronto — Agriculture Minister P. M. Devvan announced that 1,255 cars of feed grain have been brought into Ontario- Under the plan whereby the Dominion and Provincial governments pay the freight charges from the head of the lakes to the points in the prov­ ince. This represents 2,201,000 bush­ els. The quota set for Ontario under the plan is 3,000,000 bushels. The cost to the Provincial Government is esti­ mated at $200,000. Yugoslavia Government Overthrown For Joining Axis Belgrade — Yugoslavia sped its army of 1,200,000 to battle stations Friday on the Swift pace of an anti­ Nazi pro-British coup that overthrew the Regency Government for joining this kingdom to the Axis, placed the Boy King Peter II in .full power and held the deposed Regent Prince Paul' under military arrest. The military revolt against the Axis alignment be­ gan at 2 a.m., Thursday, and took con­ trol with the force of the army behind it The public, vigorously disapprov­ ing the Axis pact, cheered the new re­ ANAEMIA CONTROL IN YOUNG PIGS Practical advice on the control of anaemia in young pigs is given by Ed­ ward B. Fraser, Division o? Animal Husbandry, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. He says that one of the most common troubles which af­ fects suckling pigs and one which takes too large a toll is anaemia. This condition has symptoms which can be easily recognized, the most noticeable being a pale, pasty white appearance first noticed in the ears, and a listless­ ness not usual in little pigs. Diarrhoea is common and often the hair has a rough starey appearance. Anaemia results from a lack of iron, and generally affects little pigs be­ tween the ages of 2 and 5 weeks. At this stage the little pigs had to depend entirely on their mother’s milk, which is low iii iron content. Unless iron is supplied, anaemia will develop when the pigs have depleted the iron supply in their bodies. Once the pigs start to eat solid food the danger of anaemia is largely past. The prevention of anaemia in little pigs really starts with the proper feed­ ing of the brood sow- By supplying a complete feed mixture to the sow, strong, healthy pigs will be developed which will have more vitality to carry them over the danger period. It is worth noting that pigs farrowed in the summer time and allowed outdoors With access to soil, seldom develop anaemia. Sods provide some insur­ ance for sows and litters against an­ aemia, and it is, therefore, good busi­ ness to put tip a supply of sod in the fail so that the pigs may be given a PHIL OSIFER OF LAZYMEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “FARMING”' Let me quote from a letter I have just received from a man in Toronto. “I .have been reading your column each week now for about three years. I enjoy reading it, and have been in­ tending to write you for, a long time. There is one thing I would; like to know. Are you as completely sold on 'farming as you make out to be. I don’t kiiow very much about fanming, but it has always seemed to me that a farm­ er’s life is sort of a drudgery. You make it appear as a sort of heavenly existence to live on a farm.” Well, ask any farmer what his life is like and at first he’ll say it’s ter­ rible. He’ll tell you about the poor price of hogs, and the scarcity of men and the fact that the farmer is getting the raw end of the deal. Then, let you start telling that same farmer about what a predicament it must be-, to be on a farm, and see the difference. He’ll start telling you about the free­ dom he enjoys. He’ll rememger then that there are no time clocks on a farm and no bosses. In all probability he’ll remember that he doesn’t have to cater to anyone, and that on his farm there are none of the petty jealousies of a shop or an office. Farming is not a heavenly existence. Tell me any one rank in life that is, and then prove it. You’ll find that there are all sorts of ups and downs in every job. But if you look for the ups and forget about the downs you’ll find that time passes a great deal more quickly and pleasantly. Today we went to the bush to see how the sugar camp stood the winter. Some mischievious boys shot several of the windows out of the shanty with .22 rifles and the sugar pan had de­ veloped a leak over the winter. The hired man gathered up the. pile of wood we had for boiling down this year and brought it up to the house for “buzzing”, which means that we’ll have to gather another supply. You might call those the downs for the day. Let’s see what compensations there were. It was a bright, warm day and everything looked well for the maple syrup season. In the sugar camp we discovered a dollar special: watch that was overlooked last spring, and when we shook it and wound it, away it went with a happy tick-tick. The bush seemed to be filled with merry sounds. Birds are beginning to come back and, wonder of wonders, we saw a wild duck, from we have no idea, and hearty and made clearing on the wing, On the way back up to the barn, the conversation occupied itself on a debate whether J:hat wild duck stayed all winter ot else gfit his dates mixed and came gack to this section too ear­ ly. Somehow, the sight of that wild duck made us think that Spring was just peeping around the bend of the river. The river is starting to swell up and water is beginning to run over the ice. We spent some time in watching the river, determined not to miss the Spring break-up. Have you ever seen a break-up in the Spring? The ice just seems to erupt and the peaceful, lock­ ed river swells into a raging torrent. It’s fascinating to watch it. On a balmy Spring day as you do the chor­ es, you can hear that roaring, moving­ sound. It more or less tells you that the shackles of winter have been brok­ en. ' We could have spent our time la­ menting about the sugar pan with the hole and the windows that will have to be replaced and the leak in the shanty roof. But why worry about those tilings when Spring is waiting to come. Soon there’ll be warm days . . . and the sap will be running and we’ll liave happy, excited groups of young neighbours waiting for an old- fashioned ‘sugaring-off and taffy puli’. Farming is like everything else. The bright side is much more enjoyable than the dark" side.

They do not only appeal to the appetite in early spring but also the h'omemaker who watches food prices and takes pride !in preparing good foods at moderate cost. The Consumer Service Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture recommends the following riepes for sponge cakes and suggests that in each case .the price be calculated. It may be a surprise to find that such cakes can ibe made at small cost. The reasons are, of course, that eggs are the main ingredients and current price of eggs is moderate.

Steam is spouting from under the hood. “It’s your water pump,” says the mechanic. “We can have a new one on in a jiffy—-won’t hold you up long.” Only a water pump—perhaps assembled in Oshawa or Windsor from parts made in half a dozen different towns, yet it fits to a T when tliis Manitoba mechanic puts it on a car from Nova Scotia. Uniformity—standardization—are .big factors in tele­ phone service, too. You can talk practically anywhere, any time, for one reason, because telephone equipment made with meticulous cafe fits to a T in all parts of the system. that your call is put through quickly and accurately—your voice spans the miles direct to your listener’s ear.
