by Mr. F. and the Misses Bowden,
•corner of Rattenpdi•y and Orange,

; THAT PIG BOOK. -
f The local manager of the Bank of
Montreal has sent us 'a copy:_of a,
book entitled,. "Hogs for ,Pork and
Profit," which 'we have not had time"
, to.read thoroughly but which we have
glanced over.. Personally,; we have
read more interesting books, but then
we are not in the hog. business. Were
we taking up that profitable line of
industry we fancy this book.would be
just the thong we'd be looking for,
because ,it seems to tell you exactly
what to do in order to make a finan-
:dial success of- hog -raising. That is
just what itainrs fo till, of course, be-
ing specially gotten up for the boys
and girls Pig Club members, But any-
one who has not had a long exper-
isnee iai the work might find useful
information in it.'It leaks simple,
too, as if anyone could meet the con-
ditions, anis the book is given free en
