Kitehen- tford, 50¢ to 50¢ ' | Development of the Hog. to and « 100, © The hog, as we know it today, has| pissed through a considerable evolu- tion in 'type and general characterfs- tics from the original wild droves | from which our domesticated swine originated. In the original state the hog was of a roaming disposition, se- curing its living from the roots, fruits and pasture that it could ob- tain in its native haunts. Its type at that time was such as to enable | it to live this life to advantage. CI was long and lean, or small and] wiry, gs the case might be The nazor-backed type is as good an ex- ample as the present day can call forth. Strength, speed, and ability, to face hardship, without reference to economy of production as we un- derstand it today, were the main characteristics of the hog in his ( native haunts. But 'when we look nt the change which the work of man has made we fan appreciate a few of the things that may happen in the hog world | today. Selection, care, and feeding has materially changed the charac- terictics of the hog until today it is an animal that is fed and developed almost exclusively on concentrated feeds more or less while under con- finement. Instead of living on roughages that would_ have suffcied under natural conditions, rapid growth is being sought by the use of concentrated foods on hogs that have been selected for generations for those characteristics which would make this rapid growth possible. Sometimes we wonder if this selec- tion \and forced feeding cannot be carried too far, What influence does |- it have upon the constitution of the hog? Does it make them more sus- ceptible to disease than the old na- tive hog was? Do our epidemics of | hog cholera and swine plague owe their real cause to the rapid evolu- tion which the hog has passed through? Would a little mére em- vhusis upon pasture and green feed in sammer and roughages and roots in winter help to eliminate .the sus- ceptibility to these expensive diseases without in any way detracting from the value of the hog as a factor of value in the economy of farm pro- duction? Or must we depend emtire- ly upon serums and antitoxins, {<ola- tion and slaughter, cleanliness and food tonics, to enable us to vontinue present methods of breeding, feeding Wheat « Belleville, $2.1 to $2,395 bushel Kitchener, $2.25; Brdntford, $2 25 Cobuorg, $1.90 to $2: Chatham, $1.- 90 to $2.25: London, $2; n Sound, $2 to $2.05; St. Thomas, $2 05; Stratford, 26 and Woodstock $ O per bushel .
