D S Stevenson swine specialist with Manitoba Department of Agriculture and Conservation urges commercial breeders to buy breeding stock by ROP scores. He explains tested sows and boars improve herd quality and profitability, with scores indicating carcass quality, days to market, and feed efficiency.

Proper care of hardwood floors with wax not water
Onalee Rudd advises avoiding water on hardwood floors and using wax. Wipe up spills promptly, remove dirt with a damp cloth, and use liquid or paste polishing wax for spots and periodic waxing. Do not rely on self polishing wax as water damage can occur and removal requires more water.
