They have been adjusted by applying the rates as set out herein. For those unfamiliar with terms used in power measurement, it is to be noted that one Kilowatt (K.W.,) is approximately equal to 1 1-3 horse power (H.P.,) or 3 KM. equals 4 H.P., and a kilo -Watt hour (K.W.)1.) is the amount of electricity equivalent to one kilowatt used for one hour. The rates. will be re -adjusted by the Commission from time to time in your district to cover cost. Increase in the average number of farmers per mile or lower cost of power will reduce the annual costs to all. The Commission upon request by your Council will send a representative to explain the method of rendering service td rural communities and will assist your Council in securing contracts with individuals desiring service.

Indicating the high standard of quality maintained in the production of hogs in Ontario is the report of grading of the hog receipts at the Union Stock Yards, Toronto, for the period from April 20th to May 31st, 1921. Of the 41,829 hogs, represent- ing in all elix bree'd's and including 18,368 hogs of mixed• breeding, grad- ed during dhht period, 96 per cent. proved select*; 1.75 per cent. lights, 1 per cent heavies, 1 per cent. sows and 25 per cent. stags. Not a bad showing for a market that receive.; everything in the way of hogs grown in a wide section of Ontario that has not been chosen for direct ship- ment to the packing plants or select- ed by local butchers for shop trade. The summary of grading shows that hogs of the 'Yorkshire breed were 64.2 per cent. of the total re- ceipt at the yards, with hogs of mix- ed breeding, 20 per cent., in second place. Durocs, 7.4 per cent., third; Berkshire,3.5 per e r cent., fourth, urth and Tamworth, 2.3 per cent., fifth. Po- land China were 1.9 per cent. of the total receipts, and Hampshires, a good quality bacon pig, only .7 per cent. Of the 26,868 Yorkshires in the to- tal receipt, 13,934 or 50 per cent., graded "bacon selects," a fact indi- cating that a great proportion of the hogs of the breed received at the yards during the particular period were not up to the recognized high standard of Yorkshires_ as a bacon type. Remarks made by the graders in connection.with the report include the observation that the Yorkshire is the most desirable hog for the packer and is profitable to the pro- ducer. No doubt, in making this statement, the graders take into con- sideration the great bulk of York- shires in the total number of hogs graded. As a matter of fact, the summary of this particular grading undertak- ing shows the Tamworths in first place as regards percentage of hogs grading a bacon selects, 940 of the 1,045 received proving of select ba- con grade, a per tentage of 90. How- ever, the total number of Tamworths received was small, as indicated, and the Tamworth in the total receipt were individually and collectively the best finished of any breed represent- ed. The Berkshire, chiefly of the im- proved English type, which is longer in body and more of a bacon hog than Berkshires of United States development, were even with'. the Yorkshires as regards percentage of hogs grading select, their record be- ing 50 per cent. As with the Tam - worths, however, their total number was less than half that of the total of Yorkshires graded. Hampshires, with Yorkshires, Berkshires and Tamworths, are plac- ed in the "good" category by the graders, as regards their fitness for bacon production. Of the 320 hogs of this breed in the total receipt, 288, or 90 per cent., graded bacon select.. Attempt to compare Hamp- shires and) Yorkshires as a bauon breed under this finding is futile, however, owing to the small total number of Hampshires graded. Of the Hume Jerseys, only 7.4 per cdnt. graded select, the hogs of the breed being generally too short and thick. for 'baton ItiranvfacttrYf; while Poland Chinas, out of 863 graded has only eight hogs in 'the select class, or 1.9 per cent, ofthe total g.railed. Quality' of the Poland Chinas - ,breed characteristics' considered, was fair, but very few of the hogs were finished. The hogs of mixed breeding show- ed for the autk a -preponderance of' Yorkshire blood. They graded thirty per cent. bacon selects, and :e• shown made up 20 per cent, of the entire hog receipts during the..period con- 'sidered. "Bacon selects" as referred to in connection with the above report of grading at the Union Ston:; Yards, are choice hogs of bacon -Ay -lc 'weigh- ing between 180 and - 250 pounds. "Selects," in which class 96 per rent. of the total hogs receives at the yards were placed by th,graders, includes hogs up to 300 •peunds in some instances, but all of good type and finish.

Durocs, 7.4 per cent., third; Berkshire,3.5 per e r cent., fourth, urth and Tamworth, 2.3 per cent., fifth. Po- land China were 1.9 per cent. of the total receipts, and Hampshires, a good quality bacon pig, only .7 per cent. Of the 26,868 Yorkshires in the to- tal receipt, 13,934 or 50 per cent., graded "bacon selects," a fact indi- cating that a great proportion of the hogs of the breed received at the yards during the particular period were not up to the recognized high standard of Yorkshires_ as a bacon type. Remarks made by the graders in connection.with the report include the observation that the Yorkshire is the most desirable hog for the packer and is profitable to the pro- ducer. No doubt, in making this statement, the graders take into con- sideration the great bulk of York- shires in the total number of hogs graded. As a matter of fact, the summary of this particular grading undertak- ing shows the Tamworths in first place as regards percentage of hogs grading a bacon selects, 940 of the 1,045 received proving of select ba- con grade, a per tentage of 90. How- ever, the total number of Tamworths received was small, as indicated, and the Tamworth in the total receipt were individually and collectively the best finished of any breed represent- ed. The Berkshire, chiefly of the im- proved English type, which is longer in body and more of a bacon hog than Berkshires of United States development, were even with'. the Yorkshires as regards percentage of hogs grading select, their record be- ing 50 per cent. As with the Tam - worths, however, their total number was less than half that of the total of Yorkshires graded. Hampshires, with Yorkshires, Berkshires and Tamworths, are plac- ed in the "good" category by the graders, as regards their fitness for bacon production. Of the 320 hogs of this breed in the total receipt, 288, or 90 per cent., graded bacon select.. Attempt to compare Hamp- shires and) Yorkshires as a bauon breed under this finding is futile, however, owing to the small total number of Hampshires graded. Of the Hume Jerseys, only 7.4 per cdnt. graded select, the hogs of the breed being generally too short and thick. for 'baton ItiranvfacttrYf; while Poland Chinas, out of 863 graded has only eight hogs in 'the select class, or 1.9 per cent, ofthe total g.railed. Quality' of the Poland Chinas - ,breed characteristics' considered, was fair, but very few of the hogs were finished. The hogs of mixed breeding show- ed for the autk a -preponderance of' Yorkshire blood. They graded thirty per cent. bacon selects, and :e• shown made up 20 per cent, of the entire hog receipts during the..period con- 'sidered. "Bacon selects" as referred to in connection with the above report of grading at the Union Ston:; Yards, are choice hogs of bacon -Ay -lc 'weigh- ing between 180 and - 250 pounds. "Selects," in which class 96 per rent. of the total hogs receives at the yards were placed by th,graders, includes hogs up to 300 •peunds in some instances, but all of good type and finish.

He was a former Brussels resident for years and is well and favorably known. Mrs. Lowry will fill the bill admirably in. looking after the welfare of the pub- lic as she is a competent person, good' housekeeper, active and genial. The American is an old and well estab- lished hoetlery and under the new order should not only do as well as. in the past but should make a new record in these changing periods and style of doing business in catering to the necessities of the public. -The death took place in Exeter North on Saturday last of Mr. Thos.
