AT YOUR SERVICE
In 1886 — 60 years.ago -- the Dominion Experimental Farms
were founded. , Starting with five farms the System has since
been extended to 34 farrns and stations and 210 illustration stat-
ions. This System, the largest and most comprehensive of its kind
in any country, is maintained, with the other Services of the Mtn -
inion Department of Agriculture, for the promotion of agricul-
ture and the national economy of Canada.
As a' result of the work carried out in the past by all the Serv-
ices of the Department in co-op,eration with the provinres and ag-
ricultural colleges, a much greater measure of stability has been
given to farming in the Dominion.
Now that the war has ended all the Services of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture—Experimental Farms, Science, Pro
duction and Marketing — visualize a broader and fuller program
of usefulness to the people of Canada. The facilities of these
Services are varied and extensive. Everybody in Canada is in-
vited to take advantage of them freely. The DepartMent is al-
ways ready to assist in any way in the advancement of the basic
industry of Canada — Agriculture.

Mr. Gordon also developed a siniple
device to hold or restrain the hog
while the ring with tab is being fixed
in the nose. This consists a a section
of small pipe, about 16 inches long,
through which a length of galvanized
clothes -line, wire is threaded after
being fastened to a short piece of
stiff, heavy .wire curved atone end
te,form A haedle, The other end of
the lighter wire is fastened to the
end of the pipe, _forming a noose
which may be enlarged or contracted
at will by manipulating the handle.
It is easy to snare the lower jaw or
the entire snout of the hog with this
noose. When the handle is. pulled
tight the hog ints its feet but will
not fight the wire noose. In that
position the hog maw be readily held
with the left hand while the ring is
being crimped into the nose with the
right hand, using an ordinary pair of
hog ringing pincers.
Mr. Gordon and the Plant Men have
tabbed many hundreds of hogs during
their experiments and are convinced
that they now have a device which
will pay for itself many times over
in eliminating damage fe hogs.
Recentlythe Directors of the On.
tario Heg Producers' Association saw

to obviate -fighting and the hogs all

the gadget in the nose.
As a contrast, .hogs from [mother

also been received in small lots but

fad that they had been together for
