Nearbgemwy farmer who feeds} stock has his favorite breeds‘ and isi firmly convinced that certain breeds are more profitable to feed than oth- ers. \Vhile there is little doubt that some breeds of :3th are better adapt- ed to certain conditions of climate. svstem of management, and environ ment than others, it is a significant fact that when difierent breeds of flesh producing animals have been fed side by side under the same con ditions. no constant difference in favor of any one breed has been dis-l covered, so far as ability to make economical gains is concerned Even in such extreme cases as where steers possessing considerable dairy blood. have been fed in comparison with steers of the purely beet breeds, no marked advantage in economy of gains on the part of the beef breeds has been found to exist. Such estate- ment seems almost incredible, yet investigators have never been able to show that cattle of the beef breeds produce flesh more cheaply than those of other breeds. It is only when it comes to marketing the cattle that the difliereuce between the difierent classes become apparent. the beef breeds producing much superior beef. and consequently selling for a much higher price per pound. Comparisons of the breeds of sheep have not been very fully worked out. but, so far as they have gone, the in- dications are that the same rule prac- tically bole true. In swine, the most extensive ex- periments with breeds have been con- ducted by the Ontario Agricultural College and the Iowa Experiment Station. At each of these institu- tions six breeds of swine were com- pared as to the cost of producing 100 pounds gain live weight, and the tables which follow show the standing of the breeds with regard to economy of production in each experiment.

If we consider only the Ontario experiment, we would come to the conclusion that the Berkshires, York- shires and Tamworths had scored a decided advantage ; but when we re- fer to the Iowa experiment, we find the Duroc Jersey and the Yorkshire taking a leading place. while the Tamworth and Berkshire occupy a much less prominent position. 2nd Exp.-1, Duroc Jersey. 2, Yorkshire, 3.

If there is anything in the breed to which swine belong which influ- ences their ability to turn food into flesh, how is it that some one breed did not maintains position at or near the t0p of the list throughout these experiments. There is only one 10;:- ical answer to this question. and that is, breed is not a factor in influencing the economy of production. Further there is only one way of accounting for the variations which occurred in each experiment. and that is on the ground of the individuality of the animals. There is little doubt, there. , fore, that animals possessing good constitution and quality will make economical use of their food, no mat- ter what breed they may beiong to. ; “Vhen it comes to the question of ’marketing. we find that, as in the case of cattle. there is a marked vari- ation in the kind of meat furnished by some breeds as compared with others. The carcasses from swine used in the Ontario experiment were sent to the slaughter house and criti- cally compared by experts. and the following tables show the breeds ar- ranged inbrder of their suitability for the manufacture of bacon for the English market. - '6th Exp.â€"l, York-hire. 2, Bork- shiro. 8.

The Yourkshires and Tsmworths hold. their place at the top oi the list in each of these tables, except one, where the Tamworths were pureed as; low as fourth place. The Chester? \Vhites. Duroc Jerseys and Poland‘ Chinss appear at the bottom of the list in nearly every case being essenti- ally fat’producing breeds and suitable for the production of the type of hog popular in the United States, but en- tirely unsuitable for supplying: the markets to which Canadian packers cater. The Berkshire. it will be no- 1ted, holds a sort of intermediate place betwee the bacon and fat. type. Though unsuitable on the Whole for making the best W‘iltshire sides, at the same time it comes nearer to meeting the requirements of the packer than the three American breeds. 5, Poland China. 6, Chester \Vhite The farmer can not. afiord to shut his eyes to the requirments of the market, and the facts brought out in these investigations are certainly worthy of his consxderation. “Some weeks ago during the se- vere winter weather both my Wife and myself contracted severe colds which deve10ped into the worst kind of la grippe with all its miserable symptoms,” says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Landing, Iowa. “Knees and joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose running, With alternate spells of chills and fever. We began using Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy. aiding the same with a dose of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use soon completely knock- ed out the grip.” These Tablets promote a healthy action of the bowels, liver and kidneys which is always beneficial when the system is congested by a cold or attack of the grip.

Wilson’s ser- mon on Sunday evening last, and among other things the reverend gentleman cited the case of afamily of four sons. The first was given to reading. and pretty well perused the field of literature. His parents (whose hats did not cover an overplas of knowledge or forsight) made this lad a merchant, and by so doing spoiled a promising professional career The second boy was handy with tools. and skilfully manufactur- ed mimic houses. toy boats, etc. The parents made him a farmer. and the world lost a Splendid mechanic. The third son showed an early inclination for attending and cleaning horses. cattle, etc.. and otherwise exhibited the propensity of a farmer ; but the folly of the parents again asserted itself and out of this youth was form- ed a minister. The fourth and last son was of marked ability and magne- tic power. and while yet a child was a leader among his mates, and thus early displayed every sign that he Would eventually be a leader of men. The parents made of this youngster a mechanic. and at the bench he with. ered out an unsuccessful life He would have made a successful politic- an and statesman. Mr. Wilson after speaking briefly on the difierent call- ings open to young ladies. and their ability of filling same. stated it as his belief. that no great mistake would be made if they all‘followed housework. Summing up the situa tion. he urged parents to pay more attention to the inclination of their children and allow them to follow the bent of their genius, rather than de- vice arbitrary rules as to the occupa- ‘tion they should follow.---Bruce Times.
