CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unn0ticeable.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits Of incor.
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part.
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-Quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks. mining, milling. and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies. and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In agrl-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents q
barrel In the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except. perhaps, through .
small increase in cost Of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
Of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others, Of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay 1t, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax.
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or tho farmers
land ls being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertisement.

replace them in the basket until the
mother is through.
For II hours before farrowing and
for "a hours afterwards the SOW should
have no feed. During this period all
the fresh, clean water that she may
desire should be accessible. The water
should have the chill taken of. The
first feed after farrowing should be
very light, preferably q bran mash.
The best indicator of the amount Of
feed necessary for SOW and her pigs
is her condition and the condition Of
the youngsters themselves. The SOW
should receive enough to keep her and
her pigs in fair condition (not bony)
and yet she should not be overfed.
Overlooking of the SOW often causes
scours in the pigs.
The pigs should be weaned at six or
eight weeks of age. BY this time they
should be eating readily and should
be continued for two or three weeks
on the same mixture that their mother
was receiving, after which the feed
can be changed gradually to q grow
ing, fattening ration If the pigs are in
tended for market. The addition Of q
little sweet skim milk to their ration
at weaving time is especially helpful
to young pigs. Castrating should be
done a week or ten days before wean-
ing. Spaying does not pay.
Feeding.
The best information on the feeds
available in the farmers locality can
be readily and accurately given by the
state experiment station. Pigs make
the best use of concentrates. These
can be fed in q self-feeder and can be
supplemented by various slaughter
house, bakery, or table by-products,
etc. A by-product to be economical
should be fairly concentrated, should
be moderate in price per 100 pounds
Of nutrients, and should be fresh and
free from taint. During the winter,
leguminous hays fed in addition to the
concentrate help reduce the cost of
production. In the summer, pasture
crops such as rape, alfalfa, bur clover,
crimson clover, rye, ETC., make very
economical and efficient supplements
for hog feeding. In practically every
farming district in the United States
cheap and efficient forage and grain
crops are available for hog production.
These should be diligently studied by
the farmer, with the aid of the state
and federal forces, and used in the
most profitable manner.
The self-feeder is greatly reducing
the labor cost in hog production, and
the principles governing it's use should
become a part of every hog growers
equipment. It is especially useful in
feeding, growing, fattening stock,
which Is the largest part of hog pro
duction on most farms.
