On motion, Dr. Lynch was elected chairman, and called upon Mr J as. Graham, who was absent, to address the meeting. Mr. Jas Keith was then ' and stated that he was not cgileetiiire’iipti: make a. speech. He had not yet received the county report.

After the hour occupied for making nominations was over a public meeting was held. at which addresses by each of the candidates pre- sent were made, Messrs.

Mr. Carnegie. at the request of the meeting, made a few felicrtious re- marks, after which the meeting quietly dispersed, There was not so much inter- est taken as was anticipated, but the can- didates will most. likely inSpire the people with more enthusiasm before polling day.

He though); at the new district lines should consti- tute theycounty boundaries. fir. .xeiih endorsed this view. t' r. Robert Bryans was not in a posi- 10n to make a speech, but would touch on the financial condition of the county to-day. The tot-"I1 debt had been reduced to $1,000, and the county was now in a capital position. The railway debt of mg the county rate. The amount of money actually controlled by the count councrl was very small indeed. as the larger proportion of the funds were fixed by statute. The bulk of the counties’ money. was devoted to education and the administration of justice. He referred to the_costs incurred in the administration of Justice by magistrates sending trivial cases, that should be thoroughly. investi- gated and settled, to the cOunty courts, :vnd heaping up expensive hills of cost. -Ie thought that some action should be taken to do away with the expensive fees in court‘ costs, selecting jurors, etc. In the pasthe had always favored grants to the leadtng roads of the county running from principal centres, so that. every farmer would have a good road from his isideline. As it was to-day the only monies granted were on bridges and county boundaries. He promised if elected to serve the besc interests of the county generally, and District No. 2 in particular, and concluded by wishing them a merry Christmas. Mr. Jas.

The Hog for the English Market. To the Editor Off/716 TVutc/lzman. Stiltâ€"l see in the report. of the Farmers Institute held in Lindsay on the 1_th inst, :1 paper on “Selection and Breeding: of Swine," by Mr. Dennis Hawkins 0t “'0 lvillc. Six years ago .1 should have sect. idcd all Mr. Ilowkins says about the Berkshire hog, for at that. time they Were grout favorites with the trade. Plump in body, and light in bone. the Berkshire 110:: was very desirable for my business, which was at that. time. confined to Canada. But the last six years. has witnessed :1. vci‘ygrcttt increase in the product ion of hogs especially in Ontario, and the packers have found "it necessary to look to outside markets for the disposition of their invents. I and Intro found the English Illal‘kt‘l» desir. able, if the. i‘cquii-cim-nts L f the trade there can be met. According to the government returns the exports of Canadian hams and est rates of interest, with privileges bacon to England have grown marvell- ously in the past four years. the returns for last. year being about $5.000,0(l0. is the market we are trying to so ml): and in order to be successful, not ,nly must} the cut and cure of bacon be perfect, to Town Property on the I‘CSt terms. satisfy the tlciiuuids of that. most. critical county council was being reorganized the ' market. but the style of hog from which course of the representatives depend greatly upon the events that would come before them. As to the new equalization of assessment in the county he did not l<now anything abcut how it would etl'ect. this district. He favored economy in the administration of justice, in which they were all interested, and got such small returns for the amount it costs. As to the question of good roads, he had devoted a good deal of thought and had strong views thereon. In the past a gr eat deal of work had been wasted, and if elected he would move to secure a thorough system and endeavor to make all leading county roads good roads. He thought they had a fine example of the true state of things in Lindsay during the last month, when merchants stood at their windows looking out on the sea of mud, and praying that nature would do for them what they had not done for themselvesâ€"give them good roads. He explained that in Ontario and Quebec they were awztliing to the import. ance of good roads. In Ontario 9. Mr. Campbell had been appointed superin- dent of roads, and was ready to inspect and give advice free. If he was elected he would endeavor to induce the county council to secure the necessary machinery to improve the roads of the whole county. He hoped to see this scheme carried through, and he would stand by his views in this respect. In reply to a ratepayer he did not. know whether it was right to raise the assessment of Lindsay $200,000 or notâ€"but if he found that Lindsay or Ops was assessed t! 0 low he would in fairness have them placed in their proper places. The good that would be of most importance to the county was good'roads. In answer to Mr. E. H. Hopkins, he thought a county poor house would-be 1n the greatest interest to humanity, if no: financially. He explained howgovern- ment aid was granted to such institutions. On motion, the meeting then adgourned until Wednesday evening. DISTRICT x0. 3. On Monday, 2lst inst., Returning Ofiicer R. J.

Mr. .Swnzer and Dr. Cornwall spoke urinczpally on the new county council act, and made the new cystem of voting very clear to the electors.

If we as Canadians are ever to place our pork products on a. par with Danish goods in the English market. it can be accom- plished only by the united efforts of farmers and packers. Their interests in obtaining,r the highest prices on that market are identical, and the packers can- not succeed in this particular without the cooperation of the breeders of swine, in producing the proper hog. A crass of a thoroughbred Berkshire sow with a Yorkshire boar makcszt very good class of 110;: for the English trade, the long flat side, lean back and thick flank of the Yorkshire correcting: the thick heavy shoulder and back of the Berkshire. I consider the best thoroughbred hog for the trade is the Tamworth at. six or seven months old and weighing 180 to 200 lbs each. A drover bought me a. few of these very desirable hogs for export bacon. raised by Hon. John Dryden, and weighing about 2U0 lbs. each alive; when dressed these hoes filled the requirements of the English bacon dealer in every particular. I was pleased to notice that. at. the Swine Breeders Association meeting held at. Guelph last week it was decided to ask the agricultural societies _to award special prize for hogs suitable for the English bacon market.â€"Yours truly, ' GEO. MATTHEWS. Lindsay, Dec. 21, 1896.
