Efficient Shelter for Swine at Low Building Cost. Pig Palaces a Blunder Both Physi- "cally and Financially--Sanitation Is as Important as Feeding-- . down In Swine. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) High efficiency at a very low shel- ter or building equipment cost is more easily obtained in.swine rear- system than any other method. Expensive Piggeries a Blunder Physically. 'On farms where but one or two brood sows are kept and these have hunt part of their food and arrange their own sleeping quarters beneath the straw stack, one seldom sees dis- eased, unthrifty or crippled pigs. In contrast to the "little accommoda- tion" that the farm yard affords, we have the pig palaces or expensive pig- geries. The best of the expensive structures do no better for us than the barnyard when only one or two brood sows and their families are 'gonsidered. Many of these structures have proven to be much too heavy a charge to carry, in that the results were frequently unsatisfactory and that there was always an interest eharge against the investment. much ' so as feeding.

The ¢olony house has been used by many farmers and breeders with success, but its use can be extended to every farm where pigs are kept. fit shall result from the undertaking. The chance of making a profit is in- fluenced by a number of factors, one mien Per Dorris ivr gy bmi of which is the overhead or equip- ment charge against the operation. If a farmer has a $2,000 piggery building then the first $200 received from swiné sales each year goes to paying interest on the building in- vestment. swine could be produced in buildings costing but $100 then the amount . that would have to be taken from ~ the yearly swine sales to pay over- head or interest on building equip- ment would be only $10. The greater unit, the greater the portion of sales building equipment. The barnyard reared pig will have but little charg- él against him under buildings or #helter, but the barnyard capacity is generally limited to one litter or § the family of one sow. Many farmers desire to keep more than one sow, hence the necessity for equipment of some sort especially for the use of the swine. Piggeries hav- ing accommodation for the litters of four to six sows will require an } eight pen building with feed room ac- 'eommodation costing if fairly well constructed not less than $1,600, or "at the rate of $200 per pen. An equal amount of money would build five colony houses and a feeding shed with storage cement floor and hurdles for yard divisions. A very good colony house can be built for $100, or a @heaper structure can be put to- gether for half that amount. With the increasing cost of building ma- terial and labor and a correspond- ing paring down of profits in swine "| rearing the colony house will be a greater factor in the future than it If you are interested in colony houses or other shelter for swine write to the De- --L.

Mineral Feeds Prevent Breakdown In Swine, + Through the feeding of mineral supplements to swine it nas been the loss caused by breaking down of hogs before or when they are sent to market. Hogs that are given skimmilk, monly possess strength of bone suffi- glent for heavy feeding. Feeding additional mineral supplements, how- ever, increases the strength of bone.

The peed for feeding mineral sup- plements comes under artificial con- itions, as when hogs are confined in dry lot, or where they receive but kLit- tle legumunious roughage, and for pure-bred breeding animals.

E. T. Wright, C. P. R. storekeeper at Lon- don, is chairman in charge of the committee, which is looking after the formation of first aid classes on the London division. Montreal.--Judge Choquet's warn- ing issued some time ago threaten- ing to fine the parents of boys caus- ing damages in any part of the city was put into effect when he cone demned fifteen mothers of arrested lads to pay $8.72 each for the acts of their offspring. ; For some time there has been daily reports from the C. P. R. of destruction to cars and fixtures by youngsters who run wild through the yards and use the cars for play-! ing hide and seek. The most seri- ous accusations were laid against boys who were caught throwing stenes at passing trains, endanger- ing the lives of travellers. * Judge Choquet gave a warning that he would hold the parents responsible dren. When he had fifteen cases prepared for court he carried out his warning by making the parents pay the costs of the damages in- Montreal. --From Finland to Du- lutb, Minn., via Montreal, travelling alone and tagged like a piece of baggage, is the record of 'Veikko Tuominen, aged eight, who stepped off the Canadian Pacific train in Duluth the other day, wearing a Smile of confidence and trust in the of Bis way fo Ris uncle, Frank Salini, at Virginia, Minn. The lad recently became an or- phan, and his uncle wrote to friends in Helsingfors that he would take care of the boy. Salini was unable to go to Finland for him, so little Veikko was tagged and placed in charge of the Canadian Pacific. He came from Helsingfors to England, where he was placed on board the 8.S. Melita, and carefully looked after until his arrival at Montreal. Still a ward of the company, he was gent on to his destination. In all he travelled about 9,000 miles, and ap- peared to be as happy as a clam, FH) : ) : Parry Sound.--Parry Sound, On- ' tario, was last week the scene of the latest of a series of railway acci- ing carelessness/ on the part of motorists. It was another case of the motor car hitting a moving train, and there was about the event all the usual evidences of gross, fool- bardy disregard of danger that marks most of these so-called acci- dents. : J : The engine was switching at the time, and was moving at about five miles an hour. The engine bell was ringing, and the whistle had sound- ed just before the engine whistled at the crossing. A motorist" whe was giving thought to the import- ant fact that he was approaching a railway crossing could not have missed the warnings given, but in this case the auto rolled merrily on and struck the side of the engine, Fortunately the occupant of the car escaped injury for which he need waste no thanks on his own watch- fulness -and careful driving. ' It might te a good idea {o leave all approaclies to level crossings un- paved, or make them so rough as to compel "slow driving of motor gars, for in no other way will some people be s persuaded to approach these crossings at a speed that will permit them to come to a stop when their lives depend upon 'their so doing. ; 2 HRSG patie fob A.J].
