It is not al&ofether desirable that agriculture should be organized on the same lines as great manufacturing enâ€" terprises, but it is desirable above everything else that the best informaâ€" tion available as applied to agriculture should be at gxe service of each indiâ€" vidnal farmer. It has appeared, also, desirable_that he should receive enâ€" couragement and, where needful, the coâ€"operation of goyvernments, at the beâ€" ginning of his organised coâ€"operation with other farmers, with merchants and with transportation companies, for the improvements of products, the exâ€" tension of markets, and the bettering of transportation. _ The Department of Agriculture is endeavoring to provide these torms of help; and this is one.of the channels through which that assisâ€" tance reaches the farmer, and a knowâ€" ledge of the ftarmer‘s wants reaches those capable of supplying them. Experiments in pork production were commenced at the Central Experimentâ€" al Farm, at Ottawa in 1890, by Proâ€" fessor J. W. Robertson, who up to 1896 was agriculturist, the work was conâ€" tinued from 1896 to 1899 by Dr. W. Saunders, she Director of Experimental Farms in the Dominion ; and for the balance of the decade was supervised by Mr. J. H. Grisdale, B. Agr., the present Agriculturist. The greatest and most economical gains are made when the swine are able to eat the most food in proportion to their weight. The breeds introduced in 1899 were Berkshires, Improved Large Yorkâ€" shires, and Essex. Since then Chester Whites, Polandâ€"Chinas, and Tamâ€" worths have been secured, while the Essex has been discarded. The ten years‘ experiments in feedâ€" ing indicate that it will not pay to cook feed for swine where economy of pork production is the sole consideration. There is a gradual increase in the quantity of feed consumed for every pound of grain in liye weight after the average live weight exceeds 100 lbs. The most economical time toslaughâ€" ter swine is when they weigh from 175 to 200 pounds. The result of the ten years‘ experiâ€" ments has been to prove the Yorkshireâ€" Tamworth eross to be the best fitted to suit the market today. â€" ‘The Yorkâ€" shireâ€"Berkshire cross proved, how‘ever W here these breeds have been crossâ€" ed with the Chesterâ€"white, the Polandâ€" China, or the Essex, the get, in most cases bas proved to be of a short blocky type. They have, on the whole. exhibited a strong tendency to lay on fat rather than develop museuâ€" lar tissue. a growthy pig, and well fitted for general use. _ Where quick growth and early maturity are especially deâ€" sired the Berkshireâ€"Tamworth cross will fiil the bill. Frozen wheat may be used as a proâ€" fitable food for swine. Skimâ€"miik adds most materially to the value of a grain ration, and 100 pounds of mixed grains equal about 700 pounds of skimâ€"milk. The relative value of skimâ€"milk in any ration yvaries with the amount fed, the poorest returns per pound fed being obtained when the proportion of skim milk to the total food is the greatest. Department of Agricuiture, Ottawa. The average dressed weight of swine is about 76.44 per cent. otf the fasted weight. When hard flesh is desired skimâ€" milk is a most valuable addition to the grain ration. . Feeding mixed moal (barley, poase, and oats) with milk will generally insure firm meat. The greatest gains from a given amount of grain have been shown when it is ground, as a part of grain fed whole gets frequently voided before being digested. Mixed grains are more eâ€" conomical than grains fed pure. In one set of experiments in which ground grain was fed dry and comâ€" pared with ground grain fed soaked, the data pointed to a slight loss from soaking meal. While this may not be the actual case it is probable that the result ftrom soaking meal may not be so marked as from soaking whole grail... .. _ «.w _ . u* aimanl Varney.

His home coming this time is a yery happy one as Mr Morrison and hbis winzsome bride are on their honeymoon trip and intend to stay a couple of weeks with his brothers and gisters. We extend good wishes and congratulations. A couple of weeks ago an official mandate went forth from the Post Office Department at Ottawa, that the Post Office at Welbeck was to be closed the next day, and not giving any reason for so doing, though there never had been a complaint on either the mailâ€"carrier or postmistress, â€" Whether there is any political significanse in the fact we know not but if there is then the conduct of the government is disgraceful to say the least. Someattribute their actions to eccnomy but a glance at the estiâ€" mates of the House leaves this idea an atsurd one. However the fact remains that over 20 families are deprived of their postal privileges and some of them bhaye at present to go 5 miles for their mail and in busy seasons sometimes get their mail twice a month. _ In the present century and in a heavily taxed community this economic tactics is carrying the matter too far and the people so wronged will not be slow in showing their disapproyal at the ballotâ€" boxes in the next Dominion election.
