ADOLESCENT EDUCATION.
The following letter from a former
school inspector to the Fariner's Sun
should cause farmers and others to
consider this mistaken legislation
very carefully at the present time,
when efforts are being made to force
it upon the country by means of in-
terested propaganda.
"This letter is communicated in
fulfilment of a conditional promise
to a couple of •fainter' friends oppos-
ed to the Adolescent Act, that I
would write you some views that 1
had expressed on the adolescent far-
mers' education in an address given in
some of the Middlesex schoolsduring
the time that I was School Inspector.
'"It was pursuant to this request
and viewing it as much -in the light of
opportunity as of duty, that in some
of the sections I discussed the educa-
tion of a prospective farmer of the
'teen age, I .believed then as I do yet
that the range and variety of useful
aitd beneficiently reactionary things

"The most of the address was taken
up with the kind, of instruction that
large pupils in the rural schools
should receive; that part extended _in
detail was printed by the Provincial
Farriers' Institute in 1896. A merely
bookish education inay be all right for
some of the professions, but it de-

cation on farming. A fifteen -year-old
boy, who has wellcovered the work

Grading of Hogs.,
It is agreed by all that the bacon
hog is the only hope in building up a
permanent remunerative swine indus-
try in this country. Hog grading, in
operation now since October 30th, re-
veals the fact that only twelve per
cent -of the hogs marketed at all the
Stock Yards in Canada, graded out as
Select Bacon. This is sufficient evid-
ence of the necessity for immediate
action in promoting the breeding and
feeding of the right type of hog,
Irl addition to the low percentage of
Select Bacon hogs, data shows that
there is a considerable percentage of
outweight hogs which are selling at a
decided cut in price 011 all markets,
jndicating that farmers are still care-
less in their finishing methods.
The question of minimum and maxi-
mum wegihts as laid down in the reg-
ulatons governing hog grading were
'based on information relative to those
most desired in carcasses for a high
class export trade. The motlere
housewife'in Canada, as . well as in
Great Britain, wants a'ligliter' cut of
meat, with no waste in either bone or
fat.' The bacon hog finished within
the weight limits provides the (lorries -
tic cuts of hams, loins, breakfast bac-
on, cottage rolls, and picnic hams,
with less waste in trimming than does
the thicker, fatter, heavier type of
hog. Consequently there is a dual jus-
tification for the weights as now es-
tablished:
Packers can, and are exporting the
product of almost any class of hog,
and at the present time it is in the
interests -of hog prices' in the Country
that this should be the case. However, -
the carcasses exported from, the low-
er grades, for instance, thick -smooth
hogs, are sold at a discount in Eng-
land. The product of the Select Bac-
on grade is the highest .seller and it
was. to s"timulate the production of a
larger proportion of this clss that hog
grading was institutecl,:cpnsogneittly,
the premium is only justified on the
top grade, and not on everything ex-
ported.
