By good condition, however, in the
case of a breeding animal, one ‘doesn't
intimate just. a fat hog. The brood
‘sow that is smooth, carrying a rea-
sonable “quantity of flesh, that has
been fed upon a. ration properly bal-
anced with a reasonable amount of
protein, is usually in the most healthy
cofidition and in the best condition to
conceive for a large litter of pigs the
following spring. v A >
Vlg “brood sows have ‘been carried
largely upon the waste feed in the
fields during the. past few months, the
good hogman will certainly ‘find it de-
sirable to add a reasonable amount. of
protein to his ration during. the next
few weeks and he will find’ that his
‘sows will breed more uniformly ‘and
will be in better condition to produce
a large litter of pigs. 2
Continuing: the feeding of this pro-
tein during the gestation period has
also been demonstrated to be' extreme-
ly desirable and it has been shown
that practically twice as many pigs
are at the sides of brood sows at
‘weaning time as where no good pro-
tein supplement is fed during ‘the ges-.
tation period. )

Constructive Features of the ‘Situation
Meantime, hopes for 1931 continue
to be based chiefly on the dras ic cur-
tailment effected in output, indications
of depleted stocks of © ~manufactured
merchandise, and the free availability
of credit whenever business wants to
use it. While lately the unsettled con-
ditions in the bond market have pre-
vented borrowers from obtaining funds

must be regarded as temporary, as

unfavorable comparisons, but it must
be remembered that the currentifigures
are being measured against those of
unusually prosperous years. If com-
parison is made with other depression
years it is believed that the 1930 fig-
ures will make a relatively good show-
ing. With an absence of unwieldly in-
ventories, business has been in a bet-
ter position than in previous depres-
sions to maintain a rapid! turnover and
prevent inventory depreciation, and
the banks are ‘suffering nowhere near
the losses on their commércial ac.
counts that they did in the 1921 de-
pression. .
One further
bearing in mind in connection with the’
outlook for 1931 is that 1930 has been
a year of debt paying, when a large
part of the current income of the peo-
ple has been absorbed in liquidating
all sorts of obligations incurred during
the period of free spending. Of stock
exchange credit alone the American
people have paid upwards of 46,500,
000,000 since the 1929 peak, to say
nothing of the liquidation of instal-
ment credit and other forms of indebt-
edness. As soon as the liquidation is
completed it means the release of an
important faet; worth
enormous amount of funds for cur-
rent purchasing. And not only that,
it means also that people, having paid
off their old debts, are once more in a
position to contract new ones and to
start all over again the. process of
supplementing current funds by an-
ticipating future income. This ig al-
ways the way in which the clean-up
after a period of excess lays the foun-
dation for a new period of expansion.

Bank of New York reduced its rate
21% to. 2 per

for rediscounting from
cent, establishing another
record for the sixteen years history of
the Federal Reserve System. This ac-
tion marks the seventh successivve re-
duction from the 6 per cent rate that
was in effect from August 9, 1929, to
November 1, 1929, The New York rate
is now the lowest maintained by any
central bank in the world and, to our
knowledge, has not been equalled since
: interest rates at the
beginning of the century, when 2 per
cent was quoted by the Bank of Eng-
land amd the Bank of France. The
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
reduced its rate from 3% to 3 per cent,

‘Its substantial beauty of line and color is ap-
parent at a glance. Long, continuous service em-
phasizes the value of its simplicity of design and the
high quality that has been built into every part.
The new Ford accelerates quickly and it will
do 55 to 65 miles an hour. It is an easy-riding car
because of its specially designed springs and four
hydraulic shock absorb-
ers. It has fully enclosed four-wheel brakes and
the added safety of a Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield. Operation and up-keep costs are low
and it has the stamina and reliability that mean
thousands of miles of uninterrupted service.

a demonstration ride in the new Ford. Check up
every point that goes to make a good automobile
