CROP SPEC. ALA SCOTT,
AORI.R R.
At he recent S ine Day in
Centralia Mrs., , Murray
McRae of Denfield gave
.sorne good reasons why the
-farm wife should play an
important part ort the
modern swine frtu.
Innovations • in manure
handling, feed handling and
-pen design, have made it
•physically possible for a
woman to manage a swine
unit. A Woman is often more
useful at farrowing time be
cause of her smaller heeds.
Because they are used tolthe
demands of ring children;
.women - are more reliable
when it •comes to looking
after details, like giving iree,
taking out • teeth and
eastrating. The mothering
instinct also helps a woman
to- be more alert to health
problems. 'Vtornen are also
more observant' when sows
are in heat and getting ready
• to -farroV. -
Women do the work in the
farrowing barns in China and
Russia and North American
hog men have been pleased
with the results when they've
hired a woman for this work,
It's been said that U.S. pork
production has not increased
because women are rio
longer staying home t•9 look
after the pigs. • '•
There's certainly an op-
portunity here 'for the, farm
wife who likes workingwith
stock. So often pigs per sow
figures are disappointingly
low; probably because the
man of the house just hasn't
the time or patience to do a
complete job. If the wife
could improve the statistics
by 1 or 2 pigs per soW, there
would be a siZeple inetease
in gross inceine probably
a better wage than she could "
make in any off farm job.
Such a contribution would
alsostrengthen the pos-
' sibility,of filing ineernd tax on
•
•
•
the basis of a husband.wife
partnership.
INCOME TAX ZENITH
• NUMBER
Individuals .With 'It'
tax questions can have
speedy consultation by using
the Zenith -number which 15
found under Government of
Canada, in the phone book,
There's no charge when this
number is u ed to call the tax
departmeij.
One, s mply dials the
operator nil asks for Zenith
-0"e4001). When the re7
. cepiionist • answers at
, Kitchener ask for .the farm
tai—department. It's wise to
• jot "down the question _and
think about it beforehand In
order to be -able to ask your
question clearly, and con-
cisely. It's also irnportant to
have all the necessary details
in front of you before making
the call. It's vital to be clear
and cOmplete because the
consultant can't give a good
answer if he or she doesn't
receive adequate in-
formation.
Revenue ,Canada have a
new policy that they won't be
attending as many farm
meetings in the future, Thus.
• they are encouraging the use
of this free Zenith number.
