Page Eight i £ i PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1938 HE NOTIFICATION OF ANIMAL DISEASE Horses and mules of all ages and classes are liable to contract any of the serious contagious diseases of the skin known as mange, scables or itch. Mange is scheduled under the Animals Contagiéus Diseases Act, "which re- "quires that every owner, breeder, dealer or veterinary surgeon sugpect- ing the existence of this disease shall immediately notify the 'nearest vet- erinary inspector. Treatment is car- ried out under quarantine, the follow- ing mixture being used officially for hand treatment under the supervision of an inspector: Sulphur, 2 pounds; oil of tar, 8 ounces; raw lineseed oil, .1 gallon. rel PPB PIG FEEDING METHODS Although there are several methods of preparing meal mixtures for feed- ing pigs, the following rules are re- commended as safe practice in pro- ducing hogs of the desired type: (1) Grind all grain. Fine grinding is re- commended especially for young pigs. (2) Soak meal mixture between feeds; do not use too much water but feed as a fairly thick slop. (3) Hand feeding is the best method for secur- ing hogs of a desirable type. (4) If necessary, a self-feeder may be used after pigs have reached the growing stage of development. (5) Keep pails, troughs and other feeding equipment clean. Mouldy or decaying matter will cause feeding troubles, and (6) Sup- ply clean drinking water, to ---- INDIGESTIBLE- POULTRY FEEDS Of the slaughter house by-products for the feeding of Poultry, meat meals *or meat scraps ave by far the most commonly used and are the standard animal protein supplements to poultry rations. They vary greatly in analysis ~---- ------geeording to the amount of bone ma- terial they contain but are usually purchased. on a guaranteed analysis. The poorer grades containing quanti- ties of hoof and horn should not be tolerated as poultry feed as these products (hoofs and horns) are practi- cally indigestible to poultry. With a little experience, it is possible to tell at a glance whether the brand is suit- able for feed or not, but, if in doubt, pour a little boiling water on a sample, and the smell arising should settle the matter even with the inexper- ienced, If the odour is foetid the sample is unfit for food. . AN INDUSTRIOUS PLAN 1 | T. Lensen, at North Claremont, has een making some wonderful improve- - ments to his property on the west side of the Brock road, adjoining the bush: This land, formerly bush, is being cleared for gardening purposes, and there is, at the present time, about one acre cleared and "1200 celery plants are under way. The value and fertility of this virgin soil may be seeft in the fact that the celery, plant- ed three weeks ago, now stands four ahd five inches in height. The soil is "a rich black substance and will prove asreal celery bed, resembling the na- ture of the Holland Landing soils. ~ --Pickering News Sana Sie Gy ColoGY Sez: DATES OF FALL FAIRS | Agincourt .......ieiian Sept. 22-28 BAneroft .......5 eave Sept. 14-16 Barrie «...oreirsvanas J+ .Sept. 18-20 Beachburg .:.......c00en Sept. 26-27 Beaverton ...........o000s Sept. 13-14 Blackstock ...... viene Sept. 19-20 Bobcaygeon .........v.0s Sept. 29-30 Brampton ..........c00e0n Sept. 22-23 Kinmount ..............:..Sept. 8-9 Lakefield ....:..50 0 0u.es Sept. 18-19 Lindsay don eenetiinnsva Sept. 20-23 London .....

Those engineers who have laid their cards boldly upon the table by making public demonstrations of their sets have not succeeded in showing us that television has not passed the experimental stage in their laboratories, writes T. Coulson in the Forum and Century: Others have contented themselves with the statement that television is not yet ready for the public and have gone on steadily, with the patience of their kind, perfecting their appar- atus without inviting the. public plaudits. --_------ .

N- > a PROPERTY OWNERS OCCUPYING OWN HOMES BENEFITS: UNDER NEW SYSTEM { .In .an endeavour to aid property owners who, through the business de- pression" and no fault of their own, have been unable to pay their taxes, the Welfare Board of Bowmanville, has adopted the recommendation of the Ontario Government to pay shelter relief to this class of property owner. Last season the owner of property which was rented to families on relief received this relief but the owner who occupied his own property was unfortunatély not entitled to any help. Reeve T. H.- Lockhart, secretary of the Welfare Board, explained the new move, stated that about 36 families in Bowmanville would be affected by the "Inew ruling." These owners would have the opportunity of paying up back taxes through shelter relief which will be granted one the same. basis as | ordinary. relief--150% of the annual amount of taxes. Only those in ar- rears on December 31st, 1932, are eligible. These men will be given work to do about town, mostly digging ditches, 7and will be paid at the rate of 26c. per hour which will be applied to their arrears of taxes. : Under this plan the relief system becomes more equitable and the small property owner is given the same ad- vantage as the large owner. Besides being a distinct benefit to this class of worker, it will be beneficial to the town inasmuch as it will provide for the payment of tax arrears, a problem with which the town has: been grap- pling for the past two years. . It is to be hoped that those who are entitled under the ruling to take advantage of this system will do so, as a means of helping themgelves and -also as a means-of aiding the town in a time of financial stringency. - ARE YOU A DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBER? ; (This is how the Bowmanville States- man places' the matter before the public.
