HAIRLESS LITTERS AND POT-
ASSIUM IODIDE.
Certain definite abnormalties in
pigs, such as complete or partial hair-
lessness, undeveloped hoofs, blindness,
large flabby and unnaturally devel-
oped P d neck and head all arise from the
same cause of causes. Pigs so affect-
ed usually die although the sow re-
mains normal.
Pregnant sows which are fed a
highly nitrogenous ration, given insu-
fficient exercise, and little or no vege-
table or mineral. matter are usually
the heaviest sufferers.
This indicates a deficiency of some
necessary element in the ration. Con-
trol of the trouble lies in preventive
feeding and improved management of
the sow. It is imperative that the
sow be encouraged to take daily ex-
ercise. In so far as is practical, sep-
arate the feed trough, sleeping cabin,
and hay rack, or if the sow is housed
in a shed or straw stack adjacent to
or situated in the barn yard, the feed-
ing trough should be placed some dis-
tance away so that she has noaltern-
ative but to take exercise. Close con-
finement of the pregnant sow must be
carefully avoided.
Bran should always . form part of
the ration and to this should be added
such meals as shorts, screenings, oats
or barley supplemented with 5 per
cent. of tankage and 1 per cent. of
bone meal. Pulped mangels or boiled.
turnips and clover hay, preferably al-
falfa, are suitable roughages. Min-
erals in the form of charcoal, earth,
soft coal or wood ashes, etc., should
always be available for the sows.
If these measures fail, medicinal
treatment must be resorted to. Scien-
tifie investigation has demonstrated
that the addition of iodine in some
form to the sow's ration may remedy
the trouble. In Eastern Canada
where only an occasional litter may
be affected, exercise and proper feeds
should be successful, but where hair-
lessness is common iodine should be
administered during the gestation per-
iod, or at least for the greater part
of it. A solution of one part of potas-
sium iodide in a gallon of water may
be prepared and when this solution is
supplied to the sow in the meal ra-
tion at the rate of one tablespoonful
per day she gets a daily allowance of.
about two grains of the drug, which
is sufficient.
POULTRY REGISTRATION.
Poultryis snow
'well
Registration
under way. The first inspection of
1924 is completed and the inspectors
in the various provinces report favor-
ably on the work. The breeders have
given generous support to the move-
ment and interest seems to have in-
creased materially . during the last
year. This is no doubt due to the
better knowledge gained with respect
to registration work throughout Can-
ada. Those in direct charge of the
inspection of registered hens have
tried to impart such detail to the
breeders as will enable them to keep
accurate records of the progeny of the
registered females. Recording forms
have been supplied to each breeder,
and leg bands, which later are to be
used as wing bands, have been fur-
nished for all chicks, the progeny of
registered females. A11malee birds
have been inspected for these matings
and in nearly every case the very
finest of producing blood lines are to
be found behind these males.
An honest effort is being made by
every breeder to establish a firm basis
for his registered poultry, as he real-
izes that fraud or carelessness of any
kind will later reflect on the strain.
The firm confidence displayed by the
public generally in registration shows
that the work of the Canadian Na-
tional Poultry Record Association is
being appreciated by the poultrymen
of Canada.
Reports of fertility and hatchabil-
ity are very encouraging and give
promise of being very much better
than the hatching season of 1928. To
hear of 75 per cent. hatches is quite
common and riiany breeders are get-
ting even 90 per cent, hatchability
from their registered birds.
Generally speaking, the contestants
who have been successful in the vari-
ous laying contests throughout Can-
ada report active business conditions,
which indicates that the egg -laying
contests are serving as a guide to the
buying public in the securing of re-
liable bred -to -lay stock.
The Pretty Room the Paintbrush Made
BY MARY GRACE RAMEY.
This year daughter reached the age'
when` the usual hit-or-miss furniture!
found in the growing girl's bedroom I
wouldn't do at all; in fact, she was
quite unhappy about her room and;
when I surveyed it with a critical eye
I couldn't quite say I blamed herd
There was a rather battered brass
bed, a hand-me-down from former!
grandeur which had lost some of its
rods and was altogether hopeless,
though the spring was good and quite;
comfortable; also a shabby, golden -I
oak chiffonier, with a scroll top --how
did we ever come to buy these things
anyway? A small desk in dark mis-'
sion finish, a table or two from sonici
nondescript period and a funny little
old dresser, which, had been mine
when a girl,, completed the inharmon-
ious effect. The curtains were dis-
carded lace affairs not suitable for
any spot in the house, so they were
used here. No wonder daughter was
discouraged and that keeping her
room in order bad grown to be a mat-
ter of duty with no pleasure in it.
But where was the money to come
from for the pretty set she so longed
for? That was beyond me until I
took father into my confidence, and
together we decided to try our hands
at making new furniture from the old.
The attic, like those in many old
homes, contained the leavings of past
generations. Here we had an old hope
bedstead which had been forgotten for
years; they are quite the thing now,
though used with a spring instead of
the "ropes, and they are very comfort-
able as well as pretty. The spring
from the brass bed 'fortunately was
the right size, and with four large
hooks forged by the blacksinith from
heavy strapiron and screwed to the
side rails, -it could be used very well.
MAKING A START.
A funny little .old-fashioned wash-
stand could take the place of the un-
couth desk most satisfactorily and the
table would easily stand a coat of
paint. My old-fashioned bureau when
deprived of much of its ornamenta-
tion was quite presentable in line,'
though sadly lacking in finish. The
scrollwork was removed from the
chiffonier and the high inartistic back!
entirely taken away and 'a plain piece.
of pine board substituted. It was!
shaped to conform with the simple
lines of -the other furniture. To be'
quite up-to-date the 'mirror Was re -1
moved from the chiffonier and; the'
molding painted to match the rest o.f,
the pieces. Then it was hung by a
colored cord above the chiffonier. If
the bi-:rears had been a suitable shape
.t would have been treated in the same
way, for it is very much the thing
just now to hang one's enirror:s "fiat
against .the, wall. Here we had a•
start, but such a'start! ,Almost every.
plee'e was of different wood and the '
finish; sad:y marred and scratched;
daughter thought her room was to be
more of a mess than ever. But with
scrubbings of strong soda water and
much scraping and ,sandpapering, all
done in the cellar, every piece was
finally cleaned and ready for the
paint. For economy's sake we used
a first coat of inexpensive paint as
near the desired color as could be ob-
tp.ined. This was gone over with
sandpaper when thoroughly dry and
then two coats of enamel given. For
our color we selected _a. soft greenish
blue, of egg -shell gloss. This gave a
more subdued finish than regular
enamel. Of course each coat was
thoroughly dry before another was
given. Decoration was a matter of
discussion; some voted for stenciled
flowers, but daughter wished striping
of a rather light, creamy yellow.
Father, who is clever at work of this
kind, purchased a regular striping
brush for a few cents, and after a
little practice was able to give the
furniture quite a professional finish
with the narrow stripes.
THE FINISHING TO-JCHES.
While father was busy in the cellar
with his cleaning and varnishing I
had not been idle. All the blue and
white cotton rags I could muster, with
a few yellow and cream, had been
transformed into serviceable crochet-
ed and braided rugs. Any woman who
can wield a crochet hook will have no
trouble in making these rag. rugs
which, by the way, are extremely
smart and used by the best decorators
with the simple painted furniture.
Little Swiss curtains with over -
draperies of inexpensive cretonne
were the chief expense in doing over
the room, as new materials had to be
purchased for them, but they added
so greatly to the freshness and charm.
that we felt we were well repaid for
the additional cost. The overdraper-
ies were tacked to a valance hoard.
Hung ha this way the , drapery com-
pletely conceals the window trim.
Daughter is so'proud of her smart
little rboni these days that no amount
of work seems too much for her to at-
tempt to increase its loveliness.
Dustless Concrete Floors.
Concrete floors are a mighty desirs
able feature in,iinany'farm buildings;
everyone wants them and everyone
should have them if at- all possible.
But nice as they are, dustless cone
erete .floors ave better still. And it's
a very easy matter to make them
dustproof. Here is how to: do it:
When the floor has perfectly dried,
paint it with boiled linseed oil, thin-
ned. to the " proper consistency with
gasoline. To obtain a glossy surface,
which many will prefer, several coats
should be applied.
it is better to point with pride than
to view with alarm.

THE TRICK IS TURNED ON
BENNIE FOX.
School was out in Woodland. and
all the little. animal boys and girls
were hurrying home. At• just• his
usual time; Willie Woodchuck. went
romping into' the door;. of his, little
wood-eolored house.
"Please, mother`, `I am so hungry.
Can't I have some bread and honey?"
he asked.
"Yes, Willie, you may if you will be
careful with the crumbs," answered
Mrs. Woodchuck.
"I will be very careful, mother. I'll
take it out doors to eat," said Willie.
And so in a few minutes Willie
was out in his swing munching a nice
big slice of home-made bread spread
all over with honey and he certainly
did like honey.
Just then Benny Fox came along
on his way home from school. How
good that bread and honey looked to
Bennie. It just made his mouth
water, and his dinner pail was empty.
"Willie, let's get your little red
wagon and take. a ride down the south
hill," he suggested. -
"That will be fun," said Willie.
"Just wait a minute until I get my
wagon.", So, laying his bread and
honey down in the swing, he scamper-
ed off, after it.
As soon as Willie was out of sight
Bennie Fox grabbed the bread and
honey and ran down the road.
"How fine my scheme worked,"
chuckled Bennie to himself as he
climbed upon the stone wall jus+;
around the bend in the road so that
he might fully enjoy his delicacy.
He was just ready to take- hili, first
big . bite when he spied snnething.
hanging from the branch of the tree
above him.
"What can that be," he wondered
to himself. He had never seen any-
thing that looked like that before. It
was like a big paper sack full of air,
but there were some little black holes
in it and he could hear a funny buzz-
ing noise on the inside. It really was
the "oddest looking thing he ever saw.
"When I finish my bread and
honey," he thought to himself, "I'l
climb up there and see what that is." b
And he turned quickly to take a big c
bite of his bread and honey without
even looking at it.
Then "Ouchie Ow, Ouchie Owl"
Somebees from what Bennie
thought was the big paper bag up in
the tree had flown down to get some
of the honey that was on Bennie's
bread. They had stuck fast and when
Bennie had taken the bite without
looking, he had gotten one right in
his mouth and it stung him.
Off the stone wall he jumped and
down went the bread and honey with
the rest of the bees into the dirt. Ben-
nie went crying home with a very sore
tongue and he thought he never would
try to play a trick' on anyone again. g
more money wth diversified farming.
We thought we'd like to raise fine
hogs; .blit ,gettiii'g started took ready
cash, ana with the low price for our
wheat we had mighty little ready
money.
I' wondered what I could do in
m
own hone to earn more than I wa
already earning—about $8 . a week—
with butter and eggs. It occurre
to me that the only real • accomplish
ment I had was cooking.
We Ive near enough to a city t
have a ready market for whateve
we want to sell. •
First came the idea of cottage
cheese. Every morning I fed th
chickens quantities of sour skim -milk
They didn't really need it, for th
wheat was green and fresh, and ther
was ample corn for thein. I can mak
a good cottage cheese, and I remexn
bered that Mr.. Hill, the groceryman,
had told me once that he had a regu
lar demand for good cheese, He offer
ed me 10 cents a pound; and I four
that I could easily make 473'2 pound
a week. I added nearly $5 to rn
weekly income.
One day when I saw the two him
dred fat, plump chickens sputtering
around' in my back yard it dawned on
me that they weren'-t making money
enough for us. I thought of making
pressed chicken.
I fished out the kettle, contracted
with the grocery to furnish 10 poundt,
at first, at 50 cents a pound—a clear
profit of 25 cents a pound—And went
to work.
I make my chicken by boiling the
'fowl till the flesh fell from the bones,
grinding it with the coarsest knife,
covering it with its own liquor, and
allowing the mixture to stand and
mold overnight.
All fall I've been building up• a
trade. Frequently my sales run into
50 pounds a week. I figure that I'm
adding $12.50 a week from pressed
chicken to my income.—Mrs. G. D. B.
• Tell Theon So.
Tell the hired man he has done well
when he does a good job. He is human,
like the rest of us, and it will inspire
him to do well all the time. Talk
things over with him. Give him a
chance to express his opinion about
how work shall be done and what new
plans shall be developed.
If you have a tenant on your farm,
tell him you are well pleased with his
way of doing things, if you are, and
it may pay to stretch a point on this
score.
Tell your tenant that you will put
on some better cows this year, oil do
some other thing to increase _the effi-
ciency of the place. There is no surer
way to hold a good man and to insure
his doing the best po>rsible for the
place than to .give him the best pos-
sible cows to work with, or extra good
tools of any kind.
Some women would be wonderfully
glad if they knew their husbands ap-
preciated their efforts to keep the
home nice and to have food that just
fills the bill. This is not so easy for
the good wife to do as you may sup-
pose. She must not only have good
food, but she must be prompt and on
time. Then men folks are not always
as considerate as then might be in
this direction. They are very apt to
storm round a good deal if things dol
not come round on tick. When you

If eggs are dirty, don't' wash them.,
Washed eggs deteriorate more rapid -I
ly than unwashed, and detection of a
few washed eggs may cause buyers,
to penalize the entire lot.
Unusually large quantities of wash.
ed eggs are reported this spring. Al-
though dirty eggs are discounted in
price, washing eggs will generally
cause_ producers a greater loss.
Only clean, unwashed, high-quality
eggs bring top prices. Production of
clean eggs is accomplished by keeping
hen house floors and nests clean,
athering the eggs daily and keeping
the laying hens during muddy wee

when most of the eggs will have been

Reforms Under Ezra and . N
Nehemiah, chs. 5, 8 and.
unto me, and 1 will return
hosts.—Malachi 3: 7.
The reign of Artaxerxes I, king of
Persia (Ezra 7:1), began in B.C. 464,
more than
seventy
after
the
re-
turn of the exiles under Zerubbabel
and Joshua;. andefifty-two years after
the completion, of the building of the,
temple.. it was early in this reign,
about B.C. 458, that Ezra, a learned
and pious man,' of one of the old
priestly families, came from Babylon
to Jerusalem with a large company,
Ezra, ch. 8. He had made a special
study, in his Babylonian Jewish home,.
of those books which the exiles had
carried with them, and especially of
the ancient laws of Israel., "He was
a ready scribe in the law of Moses."
In the king's decree which authorized
his journey he is called "the ,priest,
the scribe of the law of the God of
heaven."
Ezra came to Jerusalem on a mis-
sion of reform. For he "had prepared
his heart to seek the law of the Lord,
and to do it, and to teach in Israel
statutes and' judgments." The .king's
decree authorized him to appoint.
magistrates and judges who would
enforce the law, Ezra 7:25, 26. To
the task of teaching and reform he
set himself with prayer and with zeal.
The journey from Babylon was begun
with a solemn fast that, he says, "We.
might afflict ourselves before our God,
to seek of him a right way." He ad-
mats with refreshing frankness that, s
having said to the Persian king, "The
hand of our God is upon all them for
good that seek him,' he was after-
ward ashamed to ask for a military
