EXPERIMENTS IN CANADIAN
PORK PRODUCTION*,
DOPARTMENT OF A.O.Rectirsrteaht, OT-
TA.WA,
It is not altogether desirable that
agriculture should be organized on the
same lines as great manufacturing en-
terprises; but it is desirable above
everything else that the best informa-
tion available as applied to agriculture
should be at the service of each in-
dividual farmer. It has appeared,also,
desirable that he should receive en-
couragemeot, and, where needful, the
co-operation of governments, at, the
beginning of his organized cu -opera-
tion with otlaer farmers, with mer-
chants, and with transportation com-
panies, for the improvements of pro-
ducts, the extension of markets, and.
the bettering of transportation. The
Department of Agriculture is endea-
voring to provide these forms of help;
and this is one of the channels through
which that assistanee reaches the far-
mer, and a knowledge of the farmer's
wants reaches those capable of supply-
ly them.
Experiments in pork procluctioa
were commenced at the Central Ex-
perimenbal Perna, at Ottawa, in 1890,
by Professor J, W. Robertson, who up
to 1890 was agriculturist; the work
was continued from 1800 to 1899 by
Dr. W. Saunders, the Director of Ex-
perimental Farms in the Dominion;
and for the balance of the decade was
supervised by J. De Grisdale, B. Agr.,
the present Agriculturist.
The breeds introduced in 1890 were
Berkshires, Improved Large York-
shires and Essex. Since then Chester
Whites,Poland-Chinas and Tarn worths
have been secured, svhile the Essex
has been discarded.
The result of the ten years' experi-
ments has been to prove the York-
shire -Tamworth cross to be the best
fitted to suit the market to -day. The
orkshire-Berkshire cross proved,
however, a growthy pig, and well fitt-
ed for general use. Where quick
growth and early maturity are especi-
ally„desired the Berkshire -Tamworth
cross will fill the bill.
Where these breeds have have been
crossed with the Chester White the
Poland China, or the Essex, the get,
in most cases, has proved to be of a
rather short, blocky type. They have
on the whole, exhibited a strong ten-
dency to lay on fat rather than de-
velop muscular tissue.
The ten year's experinsente in feed-
ing indicate that it will not pay to
cook feed for swine economy of pork
production is the sole consideration.
There is a gradual increase in the quan-
tity of feed consumed for every pound
of gain in live weight after the aver-
age live weight exceeds 100 pounds.
The most economical time to slaugh-
ter swine is when they weigh trom 175
to 200 pounds.
The greatest, and niost economical
gains are made when the swine are
able to eat the most feed in proportion
to their weight.
