The increased interest in dairying is reducing the number of beef cattle. The irregular price of pork is discouraging to the extensive raising of hogs, and if the packers continue this plan of up and down in prices, we farmers will not raise as many hogs as we otherwise ought and would. The low price of wool is keeping many from sheep, together with the dog nuisance.-- Canadian Farm.
