That's the latest word on how to, treat for baby pig anernia from Live- stock researchers of the On- tario Department of Agricul- ture. For the last two years, farm- ers in this province and in the rest of the country have been subjected to conflicting reports on the relative value of oral versus injectable iron.

Manager FOR THE BEST IN AMERICAN STANDARD BATHROOMS DURO WATER SYSTEMS FAIRBANKS-MORSE HEATING Cail Coileet GOU L D 9HEAÀTINGC Newcastle 4331 searchers are pretty well agreed' that regular feedings o! reduc- ed iran as iran pastes and pow- ders are no better or worse than a single injection o! a 150 mg. iran solution or a double shot o! a 100 mg. iran solution. And the choice o! which one. ta use now depends mainly on how much worth you put on your tinie. Take the case o! the swine herd at the Ontario Agricultural College. Appraximately 80 saws farrow an average of 10 pigs per litter, twice a year, and about one fram each litter die within a rnonth, leaving an average litter size o! nine. That adds up ta over 1400 young pigs that must be treated for anernia. Here's where labour really en- ters the picture. "WIfe dose with reduced iran powder every third day or 10 times before the young pig reaches a month's age and starts ta creep feed," calculates Garnet Norrish, swine resear- cher at the O.A.C. "I figure it takes twa men about hal! a minute ta catch and stick the powder on their tangue and with 1400 yaung pigs treated 10 times this works out toaa goad 230 man-hours treating pigs. A lot of work.'" "This spring we changed over ta a ane-shot injectable iran compound and gaveý them 150 milligrams o! an iran-dex- tran complex," adds Norrish. "The injectable iran ive use costs about 50c. an animal com- Ipared ta less than lc. per ani- mal for the reduced iron pow- der we used ta give by mouth." Injectable iron compounds vary in their iran content. They range from 30 mg. O! an iran complex per 2 c.c. o! solution ta 150 mg. of iran complex. Prices range !rom 25 ta 50c. per injection. The anemnia-prevent- ing ability of the different treatments vary too. For example, tests by the Un- iversity o! Aberta showed a single shot of a 100 mg. iran- dextran complex wasn't enough; the hemoblogin con- tent feUl and suckling pigs treated this way weîghed 3 lbs. less at weaning than orally- treated pigs. Alberta research- ers believe that 2 shots of the 100o m.g. material is needed. Garnet Norrish of the O.A.C. also faund that suckling pigs treated with tne one-shot 100 mg. injection were low in hem- oglobin though weaning weights weren't low. Two shots at the 3-day and 3-week period with the 100 mg. injection kept the hemoglobin count up. He found that a single shot o! the 150 mg. iron-complex injection kept the hemoglobin caunt as high as mouth treatments. Norris-h believes that much o! the success yau have with injectable irons depends on the right equipment, and the right system and cleanliness. He suggests using a % ta ¾/ inch, 20 gauge needie. This Is long enough ta push down ta -the hilt and light enough that there won't be much leakage. "I prefer treating 4-day-aId pigs rather than 3-day-aid anes. The 4-day-old pigs have larger hams whîch make it easier ta inject. Don't wait any longer than this though; toa much dan- ger of setbacks," he advises. Cleanliness? Narrish has no- ticed pus pockets in some hams. He suggests boiling the hypo- dermic and needles before you start. It mightn't be a bad idea either ta wash the back part o! the ham with an alcohol solution or iodine before yau inject. He advises washing out the hypadermic with dlean wa- ter after injecting 10 pigs -1 the iron tends ta thicken and clog the plunger. The iran solution is usually available in a battle containing 25 ta 50 c.c. Insert the hypader- mic needie through the rubber membrane in the top o! the bottle and force 10 c.c. o! air into the bottie by depressing the plunger a! the syringe. While the needle is stili in the bottle, withdraw the plunger. This will fil the syringe. Re- mave air bubbles £rom the sy- ringe by pointing the needle up and pressing the plunger until liquid begins ta flow fram the point of the needle. Have your hèlper hold the pigs by the hind legs, head down, with the befly, of the pig towards him. Make the in- jection in the back part o! the ham where the flesh i's the thickest. Before injecting the solution, clean the area ta be injeted. Other anemia - preventing ideas that Norrish has are: Two people can catch and treat orally in a third the time that one persan can. But ane man can do a fairly fast job when injecting. Just grab the pig by his right leg, hold his head between your knees with his back fading out. Then in- ject. If your suckling pigs run outside on earth, they'll get much o! their iron from the sail. Watch the weather daesn't keep themn in for more than 2 days; if it does, treat with mouth powders. 'Anemnia signa; ta look for are rough hair coats and wrinkled ski N orrish calls them "puf- fy"l pigs). As the pig becomes anemic, its heart beat and rate o! breathing increase. A littie exercise leaves pi.gs semi-ex- hausted. They stand trying ta catch their breath. In advanced stages you rnay .notice a thump- ing condition due ta pneumonia or fluid in the lungs. It's casier ta prevent anenua than cantrol it. Once a pzi anemic his response ta ret Improve Potato Marketing Another !arward step has been taken ta improve the mar- keting o! potatoes in Ontario. For a number o! years, the Ontario Potato Growers' Asso- ciation and the Ontario Fruit & Vegetable Growers' Associa- tion, at the request o! local potato organizations throughout the Province, -have endeavoured ta keep up-to-date ini modern patato production and mer- chandising practices, by pro- moting the use o! new contain- ers for ail grades o! patatoes. In addition, they have been anxousta mprvethe appear- ance and quality o! their pri- duct, particularly with regard ta rnaturity of the early cropi reaching the market. The Ontario Department o! Agriculture annaunces 4at amendments have been made I ta the regulations under the Farm Products Grades & Sales Act, which now require that (1) Ail grades o! potatoes for the fresh market be packed in new bags; (2) No. 1 Grade new po- tatoes shaîl cantain flot more than 10 percent o! the tubers with mare than haîf o! the skin feathered or missing. These steps are being taken in ca-ordination with a pro- grain o! investigation and re- search, ta be conducted duringi the present marketing seasan in t.he areas specializing in early potataes.

Minister Approves Plan Reduce Farm Accidents E.xpressing his sincere ap- proval o! the effort being made ta reduce the number o! farmn accidents, Hon. W. A. Goodfel-1 low today congratulated th~e1 sponsors of National Farm Sale- ty Week. "I arn very pleased ta have the oppartunity ta associate my- self in the campaign which is designed ta impress upon the farmn people the importance o! safety in their farm operations"' said the Minister. "It is a regrettable fact that statistics indicate that farming is a highly dangerous occupa- tion. Recent surveys have shown that agricultural work- ers had an accident death rate of 60 per 100,000 wvorkers as compared ta 25 per 100,000 for industrial workers o! ail types. Non-fatal accidents are also higher for farm workers than those engaged in other forins of industry," said Mr. Goodfel- low. The Minister said that realiz- ing the suffering end ecanomic loss occasioned by farma acci- denta, the Ontario Department o! Agriculture some months aga had commenced a province- wide survey in order that it might be deterrnined what steps could best be taken ta combat thelincreasing talA o! accidents. At the present time some thau- sands of reports, subniltted by farm accident reporters in every' eounty and district in the prov- ince, are being tabulated and assessed. From this material it is hoped that a sound and prac- tical program of farm and home safety can be developed. III arn hopeful that 'National Farm Safety Week' will pave the way for the complete real- izatian that, collectively and in- dividually, we must bend every' effort toward the teaching an~d practice of farm safety in all as aspects," said Mr. Goodlellow.
