In the production ot hogs of the lard type Canada cannot compete successfully with the United States. A visit to Chicago Stock Yards and to western cattle feeding centers aftord ample evidence ot this. A large pro- portion of cattle are ted on snapped or shelled corn. Herded with these are hogs that thrive and fatten on the undigested corn left by the steers. These hogs eon- stltuting a toy-production of cattle feeding are produced " a cost much lower than pork can be raised in Canada. All United States hogs are not fed in this way but a large proportion of them have at least ad- vantage of cheap corn. then which. there is no better teed for producing fat hogs of the lard type. Let the Canadian farmer go back to the thick. fat type of hog. as some talk ot doing because they feel they have a griev- ance with the packer. and it will not be long before the price of Canadian bacon will have fallen to a level with the United States pm- duet which is usually from ten to fifteen shillings per hundred and twenty pounds lower than the quotations for Canadian "Wiltshire" sides. It seems to be very genorally supposed that pork is more cheaply and easily pro- duced from hogs of the thick. short Ameri- can breeds than from the three English breeds which are favored for baron proaue- tion. Why such a belief should be so gen- eral is difficult to understand. as repeated tests conducted at various experiment sta- tions have shown that hogs of the York- shire. Berkshire and Tamworth breeds pro- duce pork as cheaply as ttttwe of Poland China, the (theater White or the Duroe Jersey breeds. In the opinion or Prof. Day, of the Ontario Agricultural College, who is foremost among authorities on baron pro- duction. the lusty, growthy pig of the bacon type is the most economical pork- maker we have, esprclaliy when reared, " bacon hogs should be, largely on such foods as roots, soiling crops and dairy offal. There is much difference ot opinion re- garding the cost tor which has: tit tor mar- ket con be produced: and there is probably " much difference between the cart to on. feeder and line cost to another or: between these opinion“. Under general "onditlttmr the production resin in the neighborhood of five dollars per hundred pounds on an aver- age. in summer under favorable condition tho rapt may be somewhat lessened but in winter pork etut hardly be produced at tho figure mentioned.

In other words he will manage his operations in such a way that will return him the great- est returns in hog per new of land, and in lo doing will learn tn rrduee the cost of ruining hogs ot the best type to a minimum.
