took stook in this Company was really
helping himself. He stated that the
Company had been offered • money from

he was quite satisfied that the farmers

Mr. Oliver' was the next to speak and

In.. connection with the history of the
Company, He showed that the business
had been managed successfully eo far and

would be a pity for the farmers to lab the
present opportunity elip and let the bacon
business fall foto the hands of monopol-

A. Hislop, M. P. P., was called on next
and stated whether the farmers in-
vested in this Company or not that mono.
polists were the onree of the country and
anything the farmers did to check that
was certainly doing a good thing for
themselves. He spoke ot the greatfuture
of the country, not only in the bacon
business but en the beef and mutton busi-

needed' was money, enterprise and
business carefully handled. He said eve

but thought we were waking up and pre.

After the meeting was over anumber of

week the Company bas Jamas McLean
visiting the farmers and soliciting them
to take more stook.
This gentleman has been successful
lately in planing a large amount of stook
among the farmers iu the vicinity of
Ridgetown and a number of farmers in
different parts of the Province are coming
forward and offering to take stook in the
faotory at Palmerston. The shares are
310 each end the Oompany is a Limited
Company eo that the farmers are not run-
ning any great risk in taking stook in a
Company of this kind.
There is no doubt something has been
the oauee of the present bigh price of hogs
and although the Palmerston faotory has
not been the whole cause still there are
many farmers who believe that the
new faotoriee have had a good deal to do
with it.
