I’ll  Rid  Your  Hogs  of 
GILBERT  HESS, 
M.  D.,  D.  V.  S 
Your  hogs  are  almost  certain  to  be  troubled  with  worms  right  now;  in  fact,  at 
all  seasons  of  the  year.  Unless  you  treat  for  worms  and  get  rid  of  them  you 
can’t  fatten  your  swine  at  a  profit. 
How  about  thp  spring1  pigs?  Th«  chances  are  that  your  brood  sows  are  wonn-infested.  This 
means  stunted  Jitters— pifcs  from  a  wormy  sow  can’t  get  the  right  start. 
I  guarantee  that  if  you  feed  my  Stock  Tonic  regularly  as  directed,  you  will  rid  your  hoes  of  worms, 
they  will  keep  toiled  up  and  vigorous,  resist  disease  better  and  fatten  quickly  and  cheaply.

A  Fine  Conditioner — A  Sure  Worm  Expeller 
Your  horses,  cattle  and  sheep  are  apt  to  be  out  of  fix  right  now, 
because  annuals  off  pasture  and  on  dry  feed  are  deprived  of  the 
laxatives  so  plentifully  furnished  in  grass. 
Feed  my  Stock  Tonic  to  your  animals  now.  It  contains  tonics  for 
enriching  the  blood,  tonics  to  help  their  digestion  and  help  them 
assimilate  their  feed  better,  as  well  as  laxatives  for  keeping  the 
bowels  regular  and  clean. 
Remember,  when  you  buy  my  Stock  Tonicfrom  your  local  dealer 
you  save  peddler's  horse,  team  and  traveling  expenses,  and  .—ci 
the  small  dose  quantity  will  prove  that  my  Stock  Tonic  is 
the  most  economical,  too.  Now  read  this  guarantee  t

Prizes  Awarded  to  Western  Canada  far 
— ^  Wheat,  Oats ,  Larley,  Alfalfa  and  Grasses 
The  winnings  of  Western  Canada  at  the  Soil  Products 
Exposition  at  Denver  were  easily  made.  The  list  comprised 
Wheat,  Oats.  Barley  and  Grasses,  the  most  important  being  the 
prizes  for  Wheat  and  Oats  and  sweep  stake  on  Alfalfa. 
,  No  less  important  than  the  splendid  quality  of  Western  Canada’s 
\  wheat  and  other  grains,  is  the  excellence  of  the  cattle  fed  and 
J  fattened  on  the  grasses  of  that  country.  A  recent  shipment 
r  of  cattle  to  Chicago  topped  the  market  in  that  city  for 
quality  and  price. 
Wr*tcm  Canada  produced  in  1915  one-third  as  much  wheat 
s  u  all  of  the  United  State*,  or  over  200,000,000  bushels. 
^Canada  in  proportion  to  population  has  a  .greater  exportable 
>  surplus  of  wheat  this  year  than  any  country  in  the  world,  and  at 
^  present  prices  you  can  figure  out  the  revenue  forthe  producer. 
Winter  Ducklings 
Would  you  acquaint  me  with  the  most 
economical  and  successful  method  of 
brooding  ducklings  in  the  Winter  mouths? 
I  have  no  brooder  house,  nothing  but 
some  hovers.  Could  l  successfully  brood 
in  them  during  the  cold  weather?  Also 
what  is  tin1  average  hatch  of  duck  and 
hen  eggs  during  Winter  months? 
South  Jersey.  u.  it.  c. 
It  would  hardly  ho  practicable  to  try 
to  rear  ducklings  in  cold  weather  without 
some  sort  of  a  brooder  house  with  a 
southern  exposure,  and  room  enough  for 
the  brooder  and  exercising.  Confining  the 
newly  hatched  birds  near  the  brooder  till 
limy  liuve  learned  to  go  under  when  cold. 
If  possible  visit  some  duck-breeding  es¬ 
tablishment.  The  first  ducks’  eggs  laid  in 
rhe  Winter  are  largely  infertile,  Cuter 
tin1  fertility  increases.  The  fertility  of 
liens’  eggs  depends  more  on  the  vigor  of 
the  male  bird  than  the  season.  With  n 
vigorous  male  and  not  too  large  si  (lock 
nearly  all  eggs  should  be  fertile  at  any 
time.  w.  a.  tt. 
In  Western Canada  you  will  find  good  inarkela,  splendid  schools,  ex¬ 
ceptional  aocml  conditions,  perfect  climate.  arid  other  rrreat  attractions.
