To the Editor of The W'atchman, PORK PACKERS AND PORK PRO- DUCERS. Sm,â€"-In Mr. Howkins’replyto my former 'cttvr he suggests “taking up the question Pork Packers VS. Pork Prod necrs." I would much prefer having it, “Pork Pro- ducers AND I’m-k Packers," we there is no friction whatever between the two indus- tries. The former should raise the best hogs that can be. produced, and the ackers shoqld prepare their: product‘s for t w heft n,,L‘, ., In discussing business it is not wise to impute imiroper motives. I think Mr. Howkins‘ (lees not consider all the facts of the case when he says that Mr. Davies “sold out his farm and stock, and so you see he had an axe to grind, and he simply asked the producers to turn; the crank until the sweat rolled off them." Mr. Davies is a. packer who operates a large and extensiVe business. and his farm is more of a pastime, or experiment, than a business. and although he sold his farm near Markham he still owns and works one near Scarboro. Up to the time men- tioned, six years ago, he had been obliged [0 purchase the bulk of his supply of hogs in the \Vestern States, Omario supplies being insufficient for the only two packer- in Canada, who were at that time export- ing their roduct. These were “’11). Davies of ' oronto and J. L. Grant 8:. Co. of Ingersoll. There were at that time a number of good breeds of hogs in Ontario. small in bone and easily tutted, such as the Berkshire, Suffolk, Essex, Poland China, and others: these were all ood hogs for the trade that demande fat meat, but Messrs. Davies and Grant were placed ataserious disadvantage in their export-business, and were desirous of inducing the farmers to raise leaner hogs Mr. Davies imported the Yorkshire, and Mr. Grant the Tamworth, with one and the same object in View, viz.. that of introducing into Ontario hogs that would roduce the bacon required )y the English )uyers. The only “axe to grind“ was to improve the quality of the hogs in this country. so t lat bacon could lie sent to Rvnlnml m 1- mm in with the Irish :u‘d markets that can he found. Both will require all the judgment and skill they possess to enable them to get into the best markets at top prices. I,. A- .J-s 19d. vii vL .n- huid to cmm t, with the II. Salvation Army Notes.

Farmers may think that we are Very particular about the style Oflloe's We want, but it they only knew how exacting our customers are they would not be surprised that we are anXious to get the right class of hog for the trade. 1 will give you an idea of how we have to select hogs and meats on this side. \thn a car of hogs arrive at the packing house they are selected before hemg Weighed, hogs under 15:) lbs. each, then 1.30 to 2110 lbs. each, then hOgs Dyer-Zia) lbs., and if there are any short, thick hogs of lighter selections they are put in with the heavy hogs as unfit for [he exporttrade. The No. 1 selection, or singers as we call them, as dre-sed, and iii any of them show over a certain thick-i ness of fat on the back they are culled out. l The sides of the select hogs are then. trimmed and cured, and then selected‘ again very particularly. In packing them in boxes tor shipment they are made up in ‘ three selections, and there must not be more than live. pounds variation at side in each box. 'l‘hus, No. 1 selection contains sides ~10 to 45 lbs. each, 45 to 50 lbs., .30 to 55 lbs. They niustall be perfect sides, free from whip marks and bruises. No. :5 selection area little thicker on the back than No. 1, and about the same weight, but equally as good in other respects. No. 3 are sides ‘ather heavy. and a little fatterthan No. 2. They must all be free from imperfections. Now, the meat is all equally good, and casts us the same price all around, but No. 2 will sell in England for about one cent pcr pound, and some times as much as two Cents per pound, less than No. 1, while No.3 will biinga few shillings per cwt. less than No. 2. I mention this merely to show how partic ular the packers have to be, and frequently if the No. I sell at a profit, the No. :5 and 3 will not such a reduction in price. that they lose more than the No. 1 have made. These. are cold facts, and I think any fair- minded person will understand why the packers ure desirous of getting the farmers to give them the. class of hog that will make them the No. 1 selection oi bacon. I cannot discuss the feeding of hogs with Mr. Howkins, as .l have no doubt his knowledge of that branch of the business is superior to my own. Sfiecz'czl. they had spent over $3,000 in importing the Tamworths, and that, they gave mosL of them away to larmcrs wuu WOW I‘m-3'0 ln‘ccdorsrof hogs, and the few that, they sold were disposed of at, merely a nominal figure. 1 am Very much pleased to see that our creamery butter is selling at. at good figure in England, II; was discouraging n fvw years ago to hear the rennin-ks about Canadian butter Ly English [Insiness awn. I hope to see the time when Canadian bacon and butter will oacupy as high a position in that market as Canadian cheese does at. the present. time), Yours truly. GEO. MA'r'i‘m-nvs. Lindsay, J anuary 6th, 1897. I am not writing to advocate any partic- ular breed of hogs, but what. we must have is a lean Slde~ and light shoulder. The heavy shoulder condemns the Canad- ian bacon, and makes us take the third place in the imported bacon trade. The peniliou now is. Irish til-st. Danish second, Canadian third. Now shall we besatisfied to remain in the third position, or shall we try for second place ‘3 Thcpackers can do no more than they have already «lone. The bacon men in London admit our cut and care are perfect, and it now remains with the farmers to say if they will give us the highest class of hog. to enable us to get at least. equal prices with the Danes. In regard to the prize at, \Vinnipez, "for hogs suitable for the English market," there is no one in Winnipeg, or Manitoba, packing for that Lrndv.
