A Aarengo Ia, correspondent writes
that hogs in his locality are healthy
and are going to market in nice shape
and bringing good prices. The Sea-
sons crop of young pigs Is about ten
per cent larger than last years.
In New Zealand many Of the swine
growers have combined and estab-'
lished pork markets In which II sold
mostly dairy fed PORK. Such pork
nnds ready sale. As the people prefer
It to much of the other pork obtain
able on the markets.
On farm with reasonably good
buildings and clover pasture the cost

q hog up to $50 pounds u not very
much in excess OF two cents. says an
exchange. To this must bs added the
interest on the value Of the brood SOW.
the cost of her keep. the risk Of acci-
dent, the cost OF the grass. etc.
The Australian coasting steamer
Kameruka. while going from Eden to
Sydney. travelling at full speed, struck
on q reef At Moruya Head. There be-
ing no rockets ON the ship the captain
formed part Of the cargo. and had the
animals put overheard. The pigs swan
to the shore. taking the lines with
them. and by establishing communica-
tion every soul on board was saved.
Statistics embodied in q recent re-
port Of livestock in Great Britain
show q considerable decrease in the
pig stocks for the year. Among the
Scottish counties. Ayrshire has the
largest pig population. her numbers
being 1890 head. Aberdeenshire fol-
lows with 1886 head. and is closely
followed by Wistownshire. which has
1000 head. while Dumfriesshire
comes fourth with 10.S15 head.
At the Dominion Experiment Station
at OTTAWA feeding experiments have
been undertaken with hogs to deter
mine the causes of soft pork. One
hundred animals are being expert
mented with. Some are being fed on
rape and grain. some on clover and
some ON grain and varsity Of grains
10 being used. Combinations includ-
ing barley. clover. oats and peas are
used and one lot has been turned into
4 feld of artichokes.

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
Will Assemble in the Mayors Office
Monday Evening.

Mayor Moir, at the request of Com
mon Councilman Calpin. has decided
to call special meeting Of the via
duct conference committee for next
Monday evening in his office at city
hall. This committee, Mr.. Calpin
thinks, has not done all that nc de-
sired 1t should do when he introduced
the resolution providin~ for its ap-
pointment
The officials of the Traction company
have been seen and asked what that
corporation would contribute towards
the viaduct but no effort has been made
to see the officials of the Lackawanna
COMPANY. The mayor was instructn!
to write to these with a view of maxi
ing an appointment but he has not
done so. claiming that Mr.. Truesdale's s
remarks while here indicated plainly
that he will not consider the present
plans for a moment.
Mr.. Calpin says that Mr.. Truesda!e
has never seen the present plans or
rather that no member of the commit :
tee has shown them to him. AT next
Monday evenings meeting he will in
sist that some definite action be taken
one way or the other.
