What Becomes of Our Butter
and Pork. 1
The following extract from an edir
torial in a recent issue of the Liverpool
Courier will probably surprise some of
our Canadian, producers as well ea
delders. It says: A correspondent of ft
metropolitan contemporary takes hiS
readers behind the scenes of the proir
vision trade and discloses some secretS
which will enable the public to account
for several things- which have hereto-
fore been almost incomprehensible]
Though the American and Canadiaee
provision trade has grown with tre-1
raendous strides, month after month
there has always been a mystery as to
what became of all the marvellously
cheap hams and bacon iwhich were
brought to this country in steamer
loads. The retailers still apparently keep
to "prime:Cumberland," and one seldom,
if ever,sees "American" or "Canadian"
ticketed in the windows or qn the count-
ers of the dealers. The corr spondent in
question, however, throws 1 some light
on this matter; The bulk of the bacon
and hams imported into this country
from the United States and Canada is
oarefully selected., and, dried in Eng-
land and Ireland, "becomes bacon of
British name, christened to suit the lo-
cal market." The writer has sold hams
at 46s. per cwt., and. after they have
been travelled to Ireland the same hams
have been resold in England at 95s., as
"Belfast hams." He his sold, he says,
"long clear middles " at 28s. 6d. per
cwt., and seen it cut up on a customer's
counter, who kept "no Yankee rub-
bish," at 8d. per pound. " I doubt," he
adds, "whether 1 ever knew a retailer
who had the courage to sell the bacon
under its real name, the reason being
that the prejudiced. British public
would. not buy it for what it is, though
willing to pay double the price) for it un-
der an English name." Some years
ago he sold a customer a parcel of really
prime Canadian butter at $(1. per lb.,
and. persuaded him to turn out one of
the kegs of abont 100 lbs., cut the but-
ter in two, and put it on his counter,
one half labelled "Canadian," at 8d.,
the other "Best Dairy," at is. 6d. Iu
a few hours the "Best Dairy" was
gone and the " Canadian " untouched.
The same experiment was tried with
some " American " at 54., and " Horne -
cured " bacon at 10d., with the same
result. Prejudice • is the difi culty in
f
this as in most other cases of the kind.
People become accustomed. to an article
and they prefer to pay a higher price
for an imitation of it rather than buy
an equadly good, if not superior, article,
at a lower figure, simply because it is
not described by the retailer in the,
teiros with which they , are familiar.
Wheal people 'overcome this prejudice
we shall have American provisiohs sold
for- what they really are and , at prices
•ithich, though still remunerative to the
seller, will be far below the PriCe now
asked and obtained for the sariae identi-
cal goods under assumed names.

with the latter instance are as f flows:
of A young Scotchrnan living nea- Glen

is in jail, and having expressed a desire t
- wed the girl, a messenger started for the

teen miles, andlanded them at 3erlin -
about eight in the evening. yvh n they
arrived, the next thing to get, w a a li-
cense and a preacher, which took some
time. Mr. Dickie, being the irst ound,
armed with the license, accompanied

---A few of the sportsmen in trath-
roy have subscribed together an 1 pur-
chased 100 European quail. They
send their order with many spor smen
in the Eastern States who are import-
ing several thousand of these birds
from Messina, in the Mediterranean.
The first European quail were inmort-
ed to the Eastern States two years
sinoe, and have done well. They ,are a
smaller bird than the American quail,
are a first class game bird, and a great
delicacy on the table. Unlike our Am-
erican quail, they are migratory, (going
• south in winter thus; avoiding our eevere
weather. This is the bird we rad of
t
in Scripture. and the nunabers .hich
cross- the Mediterranean going nortiand
south in their annual migrations is
said to be couutleas. They are caught
in immense numbers and kept in oops
like chickens, fattened and usecl f r the
table as required. We can only hope
this experiment 'will prove a su Tess,
