Examinations will be held at the end of the course of lessons, and certificates given to those pass successfully, which will be of great use, enabling them to hold posi- tions that they could not otherwise hope to cbtain.

This idea of the drover and farmer of staffing so much into the hog before selling is a short-sighted policy, and must lead to a loss to those feeding either directly or indirectly, for, now that Canadisin meats have a prominent place on the European markets, why isit not in the interest of every pro- ducer in this country to help to hold it and encourage instead of trying to kill it? Take hogs to-day as an example ; they cannot be bought low enough for export om account of this heavy feed- ing, which causes a shrinkage in kill- ing of from 25 to 28 per cent., where other countries figure on 20 per cent. loss between live and dressed weight.
