H. Hanlon, Assistant Dominâ€" ion Experimental Farm, Kapuskasing, sends The Advance the following article:â€" ‘‘In conclusion we may say that clover pasture and a selfâ€"feeder may be used to good advantage in the proâ€" duction of bacon hogs, provided the GLOVER PASTURE FEEOING YOUNG PlGS a view to lessening the amount of labour requiredâ€" in the growing of bacon hogs several meâ€" thods have ‘been tried out, among which may be mentioned the use of the selfâ€"feeder and elover pasture. During the years 19221923 an experiâ€" ment has been conducted at the Doâ€" minion Experimental Station, Kapusâ€" kasing, Ont., the object of which has been to determine the value of red clover pasture for growing pigs and also to compare the results obtained from and the selfâ€"feeder, "In 1922 thirty ipigs twelve weeks old were used and the experiment wa‘s commenceed on August 1, while in 1923 twentyâ€"four pigs from eight to twelve weeks old were used and the experiment did not start until August MOTOR BURNED OUT AND CAUSED ALARM OF FIRE 27. In ‘both cases the. pigs were divided into three lots of equal numâ€" ber and weight. Each lpt was fed the same feeds which consisted of middlings, finely ground oats and barâ€" ley plus five per cent. tankage, and small quantities of skimâ€"milk. The experiment covered a period of ninetyâ€"one days each year. The averâ€" age results obtained for the two vears follow. ‘""‘The results in 1922 were much more in favour of elover pasture than those obtained in 1923, and this may be exiplained by the fact that in 1923 some of the pigs were too young and the season too far advanced when the experiment was commenced. pigs are at least tiwelive weeks old or more and that they are put on the pasture before the weather gets too cold."‘ At 9 :10 p.m. on Friday the (brigade had a still alarm to N. Blahey‘s store, and the amount of dense smoke made it look like a real fire. Hoiwever, the incident was only the burning out of the motor ‘that runs the freezing plant for the Blahey refrigerator sysâ€" tem. It is figured that the fire was caused by the coming on of the power after being off for a short time and a short cireuit perhaps oceurring. The alarm was sent in by Mr. Roy Upton, who was passing the store. He noticed a citizen anxiously gazing into the store and on enquiring what was goâ€" ing on was directed to the smoke comâ€" ing up from the basement where the motor was located. iMr. Upton at once phoned in the alarm and in the usual record time the brigade was on the scene. The cause of the dense ‘smoke was at once found to ‘be the burninge out of the motor. Although a line of Wose was laid it was not necessary to turn on the water. The power was turned off the motor and the motor watched until it cooled off. The only damage was to the motor, which will likely cost $200.00 or so to put back in shape again. Indeed, a new motor may ‘be found necessary. pasture 86.0 pounds. The cost to proâ€" ducee 100 pounds gain in the three lots including labour charges was reâ€" spectively $17.20, $12.62, $10.78, with labour charged at 35 cents per hour and feeds at cost price. ‘"The average gain per pig, for the confined pailâ€"fed lot wias 50.6 pounds; for the lot on pasture, pailâ€"fed, $3.0 pounds; for the lot selfâ€"fed on elover will be noted from these results that the cheapest gains were made on the clover pasture and when cost. of labour in included the use of the selfâ€" feeded was also a paying proposition. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "Meâ€"ow" Means "It‘s a Bit Rough" Mr. Harry Males, brother of Miss Flora Males, of Schumacher, met death on June 5th, at Mr. A. J. Kenâ€" nedy‘s farm near New Liskeard through an unusual type of a@ecident. The New Iiskeard Speaker last week gave an account of the sad event, and the funeral, an abridged report of The Speaker‘s article being given beâ€" TRACTOR OVERTURNS AND KILLS DRIVER AT LISREARD low :â€"â€"â€" ‘The naws of the sudden death of Harry Males, and the manner in which it was caused, was indeed a shock to the townsâ€"people as well as to those living in the adjacent townships, and nearer his home. ‘*Harry was employed by Mr. A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., on his farm and this atternoon Thursday last, was engaged in plowing, using the tractor. (While going through a low spot in the field, the bed of a ereek, the tractor toppled over ‘backwards, crushing the unforâ€" tunate young man between it and the plow. Death must have been instanâ€" taneous, no warning, no â€" suffering. Gregory Watters, working in another part of the same field, saw the happenâ€" ing, hastened over, found he could do nothing and hurried to the house of the manager, Mr. Seott, when the doeâ€" tor was called and other help arrived. At a recent meeting of the Haileyâ€" bury Town Council the matter of the fire risk from temporary buildings was taken up. The Haileyburian reports the matter as follows:â€" "‘Harry was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Males, of Dymond townâ€" ship. He was born on the farm of his parents and was twentyâ€"two years of age. This is the second fatal accident in the family, as some years ago, their son, Norman, while an employee of the Temiskaming Telephone Co., was kilâ€" led by the falling of a pole. Sincerest sympathy has ‘been expressed, on all sides in their extremely sad loss. ‘*Harry was the and Mrs. E. Males, ship. He wias born ‘"That all occupants of temporary, premises in the fire area would be reâ€" quired to either remove or make their buildings comply with the byâ€"laws of the town was the decision arrived at by the town council at the regular meeting on Monday night. At the inâ€" stance of the town, a special act was passed by the Legislature giving the council power to compel the removal of all structures which were built folâ€" lowing the great fire in a manner conâ€" trary to the ‘building byâ€"Jllaw, which forbids the erection of buildings other than of solid construction. This has not been put into effect up to the present, the council feeling that all reasonalble leniency should ‘be shown in the matter. However, it has now been decided that the time has come when, taking into consideration the fact that others have erected fireâ€" proof buildings, all oceupants of temporary structures are required to either move them or make them comâ€" ply with the byâ€"Jlaws. The resolution reads that ‘"orders are given that all temporary buildings in Fire Areas Nos. 1 and 2 must be removed or made to comply with the byâ€"laws of the town.‘‘ ‘‘‘The funeral Sunday afternoon wias largely attended by townspeople and those of adjoining townships where Harry was a general favourite and the family well known. ~The cortage extended over a mile and a half. Many beautifiul floral tributes accompanied the remains to their earthly albiding pliace, and expressions of sympathy and regret were many from wide circles of friends.. Among the surviving members of the family are the father and mother; sisters, Mrs. Hilts and Mrs. Dan Taylor, of Hanbury, and Misses Flora, of Schuâ€" macher, Nellie and Verna, at home; brothers, Gordon, of New Liskeard, and George, the twin brother of Harry, at home.‘‘ HAILEYBURY NOW AFTER TEMPORARY BUILDINGS The Haileyburian last week says:â€"â€" ‘‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Archie Briden and little son left on Sunday for Vanâ€" couver, after spending the past three months in Hailevburyv.""‘ TT‘ D A BT * c ?
