There will be no increased taxation in Vaughan Township in the year 1928 unless some unforseen expenditure forces itself on the municipality. This was made clear in the inaugural adâ€" dresses at the regular meeting of the council at‘Vellore on. Monday when Reeve Kellam and all members of the council unanimously declared that there should be no increase in the levy this year. Optimism concerning the affairs of the township and economy in all expenditures were the predomi- nating notes in the addresses of the Reeve and all the members. The past year had been a very successful one and the council which was elected by acclamation, is looking with confidence to even greater things in 1928. It was noted that several ratepayers who had ordered culverts in front of their property during the year had ne- glected the payment of same and the clerk was instructed to notify the ne- gligent ones and insist on immediate payment .

It is understood that the amount of unpaid taxes for the year is somewhat in excess of the amount outstanding at this time a year ago for the year 1926 which would indicate that per- haps the year 1927 had. not been as good a one financially for some of the ratepayers as the year 1926. George M. Arnold of Nashville and ‘R.D. McNaughton of Maple were apâ€" pointed as auditors of the Township accounts for the year at a salary of $5 each day. Thos, H. Keys was ap- pointed assessor for Division No. 1 which comprises concession 1, Chas. H. Byam as assessor for division No. Thos.

A grant of ten dollars was made to the Sick Children’s Hospital Toronto. The clerk was authorized to order the usual copies of the Municipal World for the members of the council.

CARE OF PIGS IN WINTER SUBSTITUTES FOR GREEN FEED OF SUMJHER ARE NEEDED. Diet Is an Important Factor In Pre- venting RickeLsâ€"Also Something About How “Thumps” Are Caused and Combatted. (Contributed by Ontu‘lo Depurtmont 01’ Agriculture. Toronto.) Considerable effort has been ex- pended in attempts to discover suitâ€" able winter rations for young pigs. During the summer when pigs are at pasture, rickets and osteoporosis are quite rare occurrences. Pasture grass yields an abundance of all the re- cently studied vitamines, and so as part of the ration supplies 'the needs in metabolism and prevents the con- dition known as rickets. Winter pigs need a. winter substitute for pasture or a feed that resembles green grow- ing grass and can be ted in a prac- tical way. This is best supplied by a. leafy legume as well cured second crop alfalfa hay. If the leaves of the alfalfa are well preserved, a'nd of a green color, then feed a quantity equal to five per cent. by weight of the grain ration. Minerals such as ground limestone, ground phosphate rock, and ground boneâ€"meal should also be fed in total quantity not ne- cessarily exceeding two per cent. of the total ration. The alfalfa and the minerals will be very efficient in pre- venting lameness, rickets and para alysis in winter pigs.â€"L. Stevenson, O. A. College, Guelph. The pens and yards in v‘vhich the brood sow and her young are kept are frequently well supplied with worm eggs, particularly so if they have been used by pigs for any length of time. The worm eggs lying on the floor or in the yard are picked up by the pigs, either while rooting or nursing. The sow’s udder is fre- quently wet and in contact with the floor, thereby gathering the eggs, if present, on the teats, ready to be passed on to the little pig during the next feeding. How the \Vorms Cause “Thumps.” (based By the Round Worm, Asmris Lumbriooides. The term “Thumps” is used by most farmers to describe a. lung dis- ease of pigs. There is a quickened breathing and rapid heart action. Many little pigs become unthrifty and others die as a result of the in- festation. It is during the first few weeks of the pigs' life that the round worms do most of their particularly destructive work. Older pigs seem more resistant to the effect of worms. Infestation. Soon after the eggs are swallowed by the young pig they hatch if ripe, and the young worms are liberated in the stomach and intestine. These very minute young worms burrow in- to the wall of the bowel and reach the blood stream, eventually reach- ing the heart and lungs. This takes about twentyâ€"four hours from time of hatching. Once the worms reach the lungs they grow and develop quietly for about a. week, then they burrow their way into the large air passages. This causes an irritation. with coughing. The coughing brings up mucous and worms, which are swallowed by the pig. The worms pass on to the intestine, Where they become attached and remain until they reach maturity. On maturity the females lay millions of eggs, which are passed from the intestine and eventually infest the yards and pens. The presence of the worms in the heart and lungs is responsible for the disordered breathing and heart action seen in the condition that we call “Thumps.” Prevention. Varieties of Fall Tumips. There is a. limited acreage of fall turnips grown in Ontario each year. Roots of this class usually yield more per acre than the Swede turnips, but they do not keep so late into the win- ter. Other names for fall turnips are Soft turnips and White Flesh turnips. Two varieties of fall turnips have been grown under test at the College In each of the past seventeen years, and the following gives the average annual results in tons per acre of tops and of roots for each of the varieties: Red Top White Globe, 4.0 and 26.3, and Cow Horn, 5.7 and 19.7. In 1918, the Red Top White Globe gave 21.2 and the Cow Horn 15.5 tons of roots per acre. In com- parison with these in the test of the past year the Sutton’s Purple Top Mammoth gave 20.8, the Sutton's Imperial Green Globe, 18.8, and Kel- way's Green Globe. 16 tons per acre. Cleanliness is the keynote in pre- vention of ascarid or round worm Infestation. Get the sow and her family out on the green grass away from old buildings and pens if pos- sible. If necessary to use pens scrub the floors with hot lye solution and clean up generally. See that the sow is clean outside and in. Arrange for the cleaning of the pen and a supply of clean straw every day. Sunshine and clean ground to range over are great aids to the prevention of “thumps.”â€"-L. Stevenson, O. A. Col- lege, Guelph. Chicks fed buttermilk until they are 48 to 72 hours old will give them a better send off than water alone. When the chicks are first placed in the brooder they should be given all the fresh buttermilk they care for. It is better than water because it gives the chicks more strength and allows the digestive system to get In better working order. The Home Orchard. The ideal home orchard should contains several kinds of fruit, repre- sented in many cases by a consider- able number of varieties ripening one after another over a. long period. Large yields, good shipping quality, and attractiveness in appearance all may he made secondary to high des- sert quality or special excellence for cooking purposes. “THUMPS” IN YOUNG PIGS.
