ApRopos Of DR.. Erhard's statement

ApRopos Of DR.. Erhard's statement
in our last, Of the wealthy German
from New York who wishes to buy TO-
600 acres of land to found German
colony, and the Doctors idea Of locat-
ing it on Plum creek, one of our best
citizens suggests that we ask the Doc
tor to amend, by recommending the To-
cation of said colony on the San Mar.
cos, below this place. He says the re-
quired amount of land can be bought,
and the quality and location would be
vastly better than on Plum creek. 1t
is true that a good deal Of it is i'm
proved, go the cost would be greater;
but the purchaser would get full val.
ue received, 90 that would be all the
bstter-if he has the requisite amount
Of money. A great deal Of the land,
however. is unimproved, and as cheap
as any other. One Of the great advan.
tages Of this location would be that it
would include plenty Of the finest wa
ter-power in the State for milling and
manufacturing purposes, which would
diversity the profitable industries Of the
proposed colony. We trust Dr.. En-
hard will call the attention Of his Ger.
man friend to this matter in such , way
as to induce him at least to look at the
location We now suggest. Ut

Now, the entire cattle products ex-
ported the same year amounted to So
S4S, Q29, and this includes all eur meat
trade and dairy products, the latter
being SIS, l63.4S7; SO that the experts
OF our dairy products, amount 10 but
little more than One-flth as much as
those Of our pig products, and the whole
cattle exports emily amount to 54-l0O of
the pig experts. These export figures
Of pig products show what We may do
in few years more. They have doubled
in less than ten years, and we may
reasonably expect them TO reach $l25,-
900, 900 during the next ten years. We
have ample resources for growing and
fattening pigs IN unlimited numbers and
can supply the demand hswever much
1t may increase. And since we can
produce pork, bacon and hams cheaper
than any other country, we are likely
to have the command of the markets.
The pig is found to produce a pound
sfprsduct from less food than either
cattle or sheep, and therefore is the
most economical machine to manu-
facture our great corr crop into market
able meat. Our people are becoming
wiser every year, and exporting less,
proportionately, ofthe raw material and
more efcendensed product. fit take.
seven pounds Of corp, en- an average,
to make a pound Of pork. as suo doubt
the case, the farmer begins to see the
great economy Of exporting one pound
cfpork, bacon or ham, instead Of seven
pounds Of corn. The difference in cost
OF freight makes fine profit, Of itself;
besides the pound o: meat is usually
worth mere than seven pounds of Germ
in the foreign market.
The production OF pork should be en-
couraged on the further consideration
that it carries eli less of the valuable
constituents ofths soil than beef. The
fat pig contains only three-fourths as
much mineral matter per cwt. as the fat
seer, and only twc-fiths as much nitro,
gen per cwt. And therefore the pro
duction Of a ten OF pork on the farm
will carry OF only a little more than
hall the fertility carried OF by a ten o
beef besides ton Of beef will re-
quire nearly fifty per cent. more food t.
produce it. This gives, in refund num-
bers, the comparative effect Of produc-
ing pork and beef
1t is thus event that the pig SHOULD
have high place in our agriculture
should be fostercd in every way-hl
capabilities studied and pushed-hi:
diseases carefully noted and prevented
for he is the most profitable meat-pro
ducing animal on the farm. The pig il
an excellent adjunct to the dairy, turn
ing all the refuse milk and even whe,
into cash. As he is king Of our mea
exports, so let US treat him with grea
consideration.
