ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY

Hog raising in Montana is becom-
ing very profitable business among
those farmers who believe in diversi-
fled agriculture says the Butte Miner.
There is no doubt that in the fu-
ture this state will become famous for
its pork products.
Corn makes good lard, but it does
not make the best bacon or ham.
There are certain counties in Eng
land that are famous for their bacon.
among the number being Wiltshire,
and although Wiltshire bacon is
known all over the world no pig in
that county ever ate grain Of corn.
Alfalfa. barley meal and peas and
other ground food are usually fed to
hogs in Montana. and this feed makes
the best Favored pork that can be
found anywhere.
Swine fed upon these products of
the soil are not all fat, hut have
large proportion Of lean. and the more
lean there is in bacon in proportion to
the fat, the better it is.
1t is one of the possibilities Of the
future that Montana pork will be in
great demand in the east and bring
tar higher price than the corn pigs Of
the middle states.
1t is likely that Montana hams will
compete with the famous razor. back
ones Of some of the southern states.
There is Il great opportunity for the
development Of this industry in this
state

Yorkshire Post for suggesting the
idea, but devotes very liberal am
cunt Of its own space to combating
the notion that there can he any
ground for it.
This agitation Of our Canadian con-
temporaies seems to be quite unnec-
cessary. We have observed nowhere
any disposition on this side Of the line
to esent the rejection of our PROPOSE
ton. 1t certainly is quite within the
province Of the Canadians to decline
il they see fit. and no offense. Pos
sibly the Star is little nervous be-
cause of the feeling worked up among
Canadians, to the development Of
which it undoubtedly contributed, a
feeling of resentment because it was
fancied that reciprocity meant an
nexation. Certainly nobody on the
other side cultivated this motion, fool
ish though it was, more diligently
than the Star.
Now, our proposition was purely
commercial. notwithstanding the i'll
advised and unauthorized and rilicu-
lOus utterances of a few OF our people,
including our tlloughtless speaker of
the house. There was no notion on
TINS side that Canada would wish to
abandon her national integrity. and
it never occurred to the Americans as
Il nation that that issue would be in
jected INTO the campaign.
So we are quite content on this side
to accept the answer Of the Canad-
ians. We really had less ut stake than
they. We need them much less than
they need us, and il the disposition
made of the matter last week is en-
tirely satisfactory on the other side,
Canadian reciprocity will doubtless
remain Il closed question, at least dur
ing the present generation. And when
it is opened again, if it ever is open
ed, it will be opened by Canada or,
perhaps, Il part Of Canada.
In the meantime we shall retain our
sentiments Of friendship and good
will. OF respect and high regard for
our excellent neighbors next door,
and wish them we'll in all respects.
Along 5000 miles of border line we
live side by side in the most cordial
and friendly attitude toward each
other without feeling the need Of
fort. or a soldier, or u ship to protect
any interest on either side. We two
furnish the finest example in the
world Of good neighbOrliness and in
ternational comfy. 1t would he Just
rs difficult to get up a quarrel be-
tween Canada and the United States
as between New York and Pennsyl-
vania.
We feel quite sure that our disting-
nished contemporary may dismiss
without further concern the idea that
any one on this side llarbors any
grievance or mfriendly feeling be-
cause Canada has turned down reel
procity. Nobody is talking that way
III our hearing.
