TIME TABLE Agricultural Society To Hold Big Day June 25 The East Grey .Agricultural Society will hold a Sports Day in Flesber- Going North â-  ton on Thursday. June 25th, at tiie .•Agricultural Park. The pVogram i Farmers of Flesherton and the sur- I rounding territory were given a les- i .son in the grading of nogs here on 'â-  Tuesday when Mr. G. Barbour, of [ Brantford, of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, and the official grader for the Brantford and Ingersoll pack- ing houses, gave a practical demoft- stration and talk on the proper select hogs for sale in the British market. Mr. Barbour, himself a practical farmer, appeared fully versed in his subject and in his work here, impart- ed much valuable information to local farmers, which, if acted upon, should put a good many dollars in their pock- ets and at the same time, raise the percentage of select hogs shipped from this station, of which this week there were very few. Under the system used here Tues- day, all hogs were graded by an official grader, and considering that the hogs were to be sold f.o.b. To- ronto, no further grading was nee- i essary when they reached their des- 1 tination. I There are nine grades of hogs, as follows: Selects, weighing from 180 ' to 230 pounds; Thick Smooths, from : ^uf^^ Paints ^Varnishes Will save money for you on your painting costx. By actual test a so-called "Cheap" paint costs a customer $26.00 to do a job of 2000 square feet. Under the same conditions Lowe Brothers "Hi^h Standard'* Paint cost only $21.80 to do the same areaâ€" a saving of $4.20 on the cost of paint alone. Cheap Paint %vill not cover or hide well. Good Paint will Thats why Lowe Brothers is most economical.

One thing the gradiife had done was to eliminate pretty much ertcept the first two grades, which w^ere the two principal ones with which the average fanner would have to deal with from a market standpoint. The thick smooth is the market priced hog, and it is from this grade that the premiums or "docks" are paid. The select hog was a hog of smooth and even size from end to end, w^ith good finish and without excess of fat. This was the hog from which the famous Wiltshire side was made and Tivhich commanded the highest price on the British market. The trade in the Old Land calls for Wilt- , shire sides from 45 to 70 pounds, and it was this that led to the setting of the weight at from 180 to 230 pounds live weight at points of ship- ment. Sixty ner cent, of the live hog ready to kill represents the two Wiltshire sides. To illustrate, a 230 pound hog makes two 60 pound Wilt- shire sides. In speaking to the large number of stockmen present, Mr. Barbour pointed out that the only proper method of disposing of hogs was on the graded basis, and that the larger STANDARD BARN PAINT Standard Bam Paint U unequalled for Garages, Bsrna, Fences, etc. It will cover about 900 tquare feet to the gallon, one coat.

In 1922 the Canadian price was 2S shillings below the Danish, while to-day it is 5 shillings. The United States, on the other hand, is falling off badly in sales, because of the fact that their bacon is not at all up to the standard and sells to- day for 25 shillings below the price paid for Canadian products. Mr. and Mrs. Allan Findlay and [ The United States raises cheap hogs but even at cheap prices, Canadian bacon, with the enormous differen- ce in price, always finds a ready mar- ket and the sales of these two coun- tries are increasing by leaps and bounds. Mr. Barbour in an enthusiastic champion of the system whereby the farmer markets his own products and says that the best evidence of this benefit can be found in commun- ities in which hog grading is practis- ed and where any other system would be looked uiwn in disfavor.
