Pork In High.
The price OF pork is very high owing
to its scarcity. We clip the following
from the Butchers Advocate:
A long and tedious argument OF
two columns, bristling with sta tistics,
showing why pork is high, 10 here mar
rowed down to brief statement tor
the benefit Of our readers: The reason
is that while the number OF pork-eat
ers In the United States has increased
li,000, 600 in eight years. there has been
no Increase IN pork producing at oil,
Pork-raising. 1t states, Is dependent
upon the corn crop. and bears a de-
terminate relation to 1t. Thus, In 1885
there were 100 acres of corn to every
100 people. eighty head OF swine to 100
people, sixty-five swine to each 100
acres of corn, and the average export
price of that year was SO cents per
pound. Now in 1898 there are only
100 acres OF corn to 100 people. sixty.
nine head OF swine to 100 people. and
sixty-nine swine to 100 acres Of corn.
Hence the export price is up to 1913
cents. In another place 1t gives re-
suits in the seven great hoR-raising
States OF Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
In 1885 these States produced 81, 55i,-
900 acres OF corn and %, 25S. OC0 swine,
whereas in 1892 they produced only
49, 703 600 acres OF corn. and in 1891 re-
ported only %, 063, 600 swine. This Is
not keeping pace with tho growth Of
population. and sufficiently accounts
for the growing scarcity and increase
OF price. The Sun has no hope of an
I'm mediate increase OF crop or lowering
OF price, as recent high prices have in
duced tho farmers to part with their
breeding stock. but farmers who
possess the requisite facilities will dis
cover from these facts the certainty Of
large profits in pork-raising for sew
eral years to come.
