All around Hudson Bay. at convenient spots; down the Mackenzie river to Lake 4th- ! abaska; about Great Slave and Great Bear lakes and along the Arctic coast, and down the Yukon, these depot $ are set up. Now practically every district in continental Canada is within flying^ranee of one of these stations.

They walked 20 miles along the., j>each, to a Hghthoiise and signal station, to report their whereabouts. Returning from a flight up the Ash.uaptuuchuan river, one pilot brought with him an old Indian. When Invited to ride, the red man seemed in no way perturbed at the prospect. He ^calmly donned helmet and goggles and settled himself in the front "cockpit. as if flying were an everyday act with him. In a half hour he flew downstream a distance which just , previously it had taken him six.days to cover- by canoe. On landing he climbed out, stretdied himself, and said to the pilot: 1 "Bon canot! How much him cost?" That Indian saw the -advantage of air -travel in the north country.

On a January morning Cap! Kenneth Saunders.'diief, pilot of the Canadian Fairehild company, started north with an engineer a-nd a Hudson's Bay company official, on a visit 40-semfe-Qt-UieJaflrtlie'rn trading posts. Unless one flies, it usually takes six •weeks of mushing on snOwshoes, with V*8oii team to haul baprgage, to reach these wilderness outposts.^Begions between posts are wholly uninhabited. Snow lies from four to six feet deep I trails, such as they are, usually follow the lakes, and rivers, through broken country of small timoer. , When Saunders and party K'ft Roberval the. day was bright and fair, but the thermometer was 25 below. An hour up the Ashuapmuchuam they -sighted/the first trading post and circled to Jand op tjje frozen river. Either they 6tnick a spot where a warm spring hadf thawed the ice or else an early fall of snow on this ice had prevented a thicker formation; anyway, the plane broke through. The men had barely time to crawl from the cabin before the whole fuselage was. und^r water. Luckily, they were near the post, and Tom Moar, the Indian in charge, volunteered to walk out the hundred miles to civilization with a message. He started away within half an hour, taking only an ax. some matches and a chunk of moose meat He made the trip in the record time of Ave days, sleeping twice, on the second and fourth night, in holes in the snowlined with balsam boughs, and traveling continuously the rest»of .the time. Meantime the Canadians set about salvaging their plane. They made a platform ot, logs around the machine on "which to Work. As the water was not deep, a tripod, of poles cut from I the woods was built over the aircraft stituted for the hominy; and tankage may be used. In place of the-fish meal. The chopped alfalfa may he left out wli&n the sows and litters are on pasture. „ ; ' I'iga that have been properly-fed and handled during the suckling period are the most, economical feeders, he says, and In addition, the pigs/th^t have grain during the suckling jperlod are larger at wpmnng time ami have less setback when w-Vaned. In-addititon to good feed and plenty of it, pigs should he free from worftas and. kept fn clean dry pens. Pens should be scrubbed with water and lye and the" disinfected before farrowing* time and the sow's sides scrubbed with a stiff brush arid soap and water before farrowing to eliminate possihfjp infection from- worms. Pigs should he hauled to pasture that has not been tised by hogs for .at least two years, and kept there tor thre« <9* months. Satisfactory Ration for Horses and Mules •The question was recently raised about feeding alfalfa hay to horses. Professor McCampbell of Kansas fed a group of artillery horses, weighing an average of 1.100 pounds and doing more hard work than the average farm horse, on a daily rat Ton of 10 pounds alfalfa hay, 8 pounds shelled corn, and 2 pounds oats for* 140 days. These; horses gained 25.6 pon^ds perTTe® during this period. They showed no shortness of wind, softness, or lack of endurance during the feeding trial. A simihif group of horses-were fed. 1^ pounds timothy hay, 4 pounds corn, and.H pounds oats pfcr head daily for 140 days. These horses lost an average of 7,7 pounds per head. Thus by comparison 10 pounds alfalfa hay and 10 pounds grain per head daily proved a better ration and more ecdmomical under the conditions of this trial than 14 pounds timothy hay and 12. pounds grain.
