PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS have plenty of rails, to make kindling out of. Grandfather would take a rail off the garden fence, lay it crosswise in the saw-horse and then proceed with the buck-saw to “buck” enough kindling to last for a month or so. The fence never seemed to suffer badly, because in the spring they would bring a load of rails up and pile them on the fence until it was restored to its proper level to keep the marauding cows from making an excursion into our garden patch. Rail fences sprawled all over our township at oqe time. Standing on the top of the Big Hill you could see far away past the river and watch the zig-zag paths of the fences as they trailed off into the distance. They were quite handy, because all you had to do to change cattle from one field to another was to let down a few rails and make a gap, Berry bushes seemed to thrive in the nooks and corners afforded by a rail fence. A straggling'' growth of choke-chefry bushes could also be counted on to start up and come along rapidly to fruition. For those of us not too fond of hailing stones away to the back of the farm, the rail fences provided excellent dumping grounds for load after load of the stones. In fact, there was always a fringe of stone piled along practically all of the rail fences. It was so much easier to heave a stone over the fence than it was to load it up on the wagon box. The animals seemed to like the privacy afforded by a rail fence. Rest­ ing the team from plowing, one would see a saucy, bright-eyed red squirrel suddenly pop up. Curling his tail be­ hind himself Until he looked like a weird Chinese symbol, the squirrel wou.ld eye one for some time and then scamper on down the avenue of rails looking for more food to stock his winter larder. Now and again one found a skunk travelling beside the fence . . . and when the chicken coops were rriided the tell-tale evidence of a weasel’s visit more often than enough led to a stone pile beside one of the rail fences, Rail fences were handy. The rails served to make a temporary fence at any time. AVhether it was an enclosure for calves or a guard fence around a caved-in well . , the rails were there . . . waiting and ready . . . and it was always so much easier to erect a rail fence than go to all the bother of setting posts and stretching wire. They say that rail fences take up too much room. It always makes me smile to^ see a farmer with a waste fifteen or twenty acres growing up in wild bushes and weeds who gets busy erecting wire fences because he needs the land. However ... wire fences are here to stay and much as we re­ gret it, the older and more temporary rail fences seem doomed. shine” vitamin, necessary to promote mineral assimilation, thereby prevent­ ing rickets. So there are two good reasons for the use of Pi J char dene in winter pig feeding, though it is econ­ omical first of all to give the pigs sunshine and a little leafy vegetable matter, then to use the oils in supple­ ment as required. If symptoms of vitamin deficiency develop, Pilchard- ene is a good sheet anchor but re­ covery may take weeks.

D. Albright, Superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Station at .Beaverlodge, Alta, Experience at that Station 'has emphasized the import­ ance of vitamin A in pig feeding. Reserves of vitamin A may be stor­ ed in the animal system for a while but some fast-growing pigs deprived of it in their diet develop after a time peculiar variable symptoms of nervous and other derangement. Conspicuous among these symptoms are strained facial expression, as of pain, abnormal flopping or -else laying back of the ears; impaired vision; incoordination of* muscular movements, often featured by irregular gait, walking in circles, posterior paralysis and sometimes prostration. In certain cases strang­ ling and death have occurred without warning symptoms.. and with little abnormality .found on post’ mortem other than a foamy discharge from tliC mouth. Vitamin A occurs abundantly in butter fat, in cod liver oil and in cer­ tain other animal foods, while the Carotene from which it is derived occurs abundantly in the green and yellow parts of plants—some more than others. The ordinary small grains contain little of it in the kernel, Yellow corn contains some. The Kansas Station experienced avitaminosis in pigs fed on white corn, Alfalfa is rich in carotene, Even well cured alfalfa hay carries a reasonable percentage of it. Pigs on pasture, those receiving a little green stuff occasionally, those running in a barnyard where manager litter is thrown out, or those receiv­ ing imperfectly skimmed milk are unlikely to develop symptoms of vita-, min A deficiency. Young pigs deprived of such fe6cl% should have the lack made up in some- other way, as by the- daily admhris- tfatioti of two or three teaspoonfuls • of Lilphardene, which is cheaper than .ihat^othef.^wcy) fcriowp source, cod- Both Pilchasdeue .and .£0$ liver oil are also rich in vitamin D, the ^sun­ When you are baking and need the • white of one egg, puncture the shell, let white drain out, then wrap egg m waxed , paper and return to refrigerator, if will stay moist and fresh for two or three days, s RED CROSS NEWS The Whigham’ Red Cross has re­ ceived the new work quota1 for the next three months.
