director of the ontario livestock branch at the annual meeting of the halton live- stoctttmprovemont association held in milton on saturday afternoon or last week mr watson appealed to the audience to make sure their hogs were in the 200 lb live weight category before shipping them to market this would assure better prices and nld the government in filing the stupendous 600000000 pound order for high class bacon for britain mr watson pointed out that every time an underwelght hog js sold by tho farmer he loses the ontario government subsidy of 1 00 per car cass for a grade a hog and so cents on a bl an underweight carcass in the class called lights is subject to a 92 50 discount a tight hog weighing itso to 170 bs can be finished up to 200 pounds and bring tho ownor 5 00 profit on the
