hoes remain, there will be more or less.

and in mule eases, perlicas, a tittle more.
I3ut be this as it may. and judging or
the business on its merits, is the farmer
e bogs must be increased -
if the airport trade is to be maintained?'
We think tie is. Covering a period of
years, it is safe to 7say that hog -raising -
has been one of oer most profitable
branches of agriculture. To leave out.
the periods of high prices, and judge•of
the business solely hem the kheaprice
and increased ce.st of fecd. the average
price paid for hogs was sufficient to nf-
ford a handsome profit to the farmer
who manned the business well; tligh
prices are tound to come again, sooner
or later, and, judging from present een-
anions, they will not be long delayed:
and, averaged ep with those of the past
fall and winter. will afford a margin on,
the right side of the ledger.
Judged from this standpoint, will it not
pay farmers to produce hogs in static:ea
hamhers, at least, te consume the ooarse•
*rains grown on the farm? The trouble -
in the past teas been that too many far-
mers have gone into hog -raising on too"
large a scale, and have sacrificed seme
other braii-ch of farming in erder to do,
se: When a slump in ailitie has come,
these have been hard hit. The 'farmer'
who has made most out of hogs, and'
who will continue to do sO. is the one -
who has had to buy as Me fecd as pos-
sible for them. Ile is/not hard hit when
slump- -an prices carries. andrmalies -a-
lig profit when prices are high. If every -
farmer would do this, the supply eould ber
kept up to a steady quentity year in and'
year out. The trade worry be firmly es-
tablished. and the ni ri for Cancdia

In some respects the Danish fernier has
an advantage owe his Canadian competi-
tor. He is near the market. Packing-

Thi6 is brief sununary or the situa-
floe, MS shown by the experiences of the
past few years. The phase of the ques-
tion that is of prime importance to the
Canadian farmer Ls that the Danish far-
mer is, graduelly but surely taking his
allord ter let him do so? Is Conadals ex-
port bacon trade of so little moment that
we can afford to let it go by default, and
the country be none the worse for it? Will
a ceasatioh of this trade altogether lessen

Is it worth making a sacrifice to- retain?
A sacrifice will certainly hahe to be made

British market with her bacon and dis-
placing Canadian. Is it worth while to
