Winter feeding of hogs is considerable of a problem, but Mr. Whaley has solved it to his own satisfaction. Having the dry and warm pen, the next consideration is to secure proper food in the cheapest way. The chief grain food is shorts, but some- times a proportion of corn, peas and bran are also given. These are supplemented with pulped mangels and slope, such as whey, milk, and water when the other l liquids are short. The pulped roots, shorts l or chop and slop are mixed (about one i bushel of shorts to two and a half of man- gels) twentyâ€"four hours before feeding, and given cold twice a day, except in very cold weather, when the mangels are boiled in a boiler standing in the feed room. The feed is not given very sloppy, except skim milk can be used, as too much water is injurious to the pigs. Mr. Whaley considers the only advantage of boiling is in having the feed warm in severe weather. At noon, pulped mangels are fed aloneâ€"just what is eaten readily. A change of feed is con-l sidered by Mr. \Vhaley very beneficial. A few ears of corn occasionally. and once or twice a week dry shorts aregiven with pulped mangels. A quantity of ashes, charcoll and sulphur are mixed in the regular feed about once a week. The litters are weaned when about seven weeks old. and are given shorts, mixed fairly ‘thick with milk, twice a day for about. a month. Mangels or sugar beets are then gradually added, and a few mangela are always given agnoon. A .. a----.‘119 Anna in “aa- M'Vaja Hl'wu «V .-v'_- Summer feeding is usually done in pas- ture lors. and Mr. Whaley is aiming to use clover for this purpose, especially for the growing pigs. Bran and shorts, mixed twenty-four hours ahead with whey, etc.. i is given in the form of a slop. The pigs are. given full feeds of this twice a clay, and the way they thrive is remarkable. not in putting on fat, but in growing the desir- able strip of fat and strip of lean bacon. ‘ When the market is down and expected to lrise. the pigs are held back by less strong food, while their growth goes on apace. Mr. Whale)“ watches the feed market, and purchases his shorts and bran by the car- load when the price is down.

This is not the case, as we received no'h- ing whatever from the government direct or indirect in the matter excepting what we were allowed for drawing and regis- tering one release, out of about twenty, owing to the fact that before it was set- tleer. Barron, who acted for the govern- ment, had been appointed to the bench. iand the fees for this release was not } charged to the farmers. 73â€"AI-n “-6.15. ha_ O ,- Thus was entirely a private matter be- tween eoUcitore and clients which is not the business of the government or nay body elemâ€"Yours truly, 1' ".‘T Av‘nurf‘f Mr. Hughee asked :â€"Is the government aware that Mr. R.

He said he knew Mr. McLaughlin had entered into a. league wizh the Iarmers that he would get them pay from the government for damage-4 they had sustained, provided they gave him 20 per cent. of the amount granted, and what he wanted to know was whether the government was: a party to this extraction of money?

Sir Charles Tapper agreed with a good deal that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had said re- Specting the abuse of the privileges of the House, but contended that the Premier had overstated the case, as it the state- ment to which exception had been taken was a slander the government had the power to strike down the slander and pro- , tect Mr. McLaughlin. Mr. Blair said it was monstrous for any hon. gentleman to take advantage of the opportunity of putting a uestion to make prayer form. and would do so as soon as the ruling of the Speaker had been com- plied with.‘ .
