We are, however enclosing a sum- mary of the ,hog industry a Huron ,County for the year 1925. The fol- lowing gives the number of hogs shipped and the grading of the hogs concerned: Total hogs, 77994; Select Bacon, 23463, 30.08%; Thick Smooth 45141, 58.56%; Heavies, 3244, 4.- 19a ; Extra Heavies, 235, .307%; Shop Hogs, 2107, 4.01%; Light Feeders, 1089, 1.39%; Ronghs, 63, .079%; Sows ,No. 1, 178, .23%; So No. 2, 1318, 1.69%; Stags, 156, '19%. With reference to hogs it will be . noted that peactically 78,000 hogs wore merketed from the county in the past year. At an average market value of twenty-two dollars this gives a valu'ation of 71,716,000.00. The percentage of selects ittight Also be noted. The premium being paid for . Selects at possibly an average some- thing better than two• dollars per head. It would mean that aPProxi- mately 450,000 extra was distributed amongst the farmers of Huron Coun- ty for hogs coining in this grade. While this grade is quite high it can easily be improved end we hope to see still further progress made along ,line in 1926. S. B. Strithata% Representative for Huron Matta, 11 • PERTH COUNTY Thos.
