' ',The 'fiat of these Bulletins deals With .'e$per invents in t:,e feeding of Swine and shows.' how the ordinary cere:lle, which can be produced sucoessful'y in this country, can be fed to swine with profit. By• the consumption on the farina of iSgarse grains, the elements of fertility, •which are, so essential to the growth of good crops, are left on the farm in the term of manure. The permanent suc- cess of argiculture in this country 'must' 'tleliend on the maintenance of the fer- tility of the soil. A continuous and general selliugof grains, tends to deplete the soil, of -the strength and substances which it requires for the bearing of large crops o`l' good quality. Our climate and tke. adaptation of our soil for produce ,ing, feed for swine and cattle, give us exceptional advantages in the excellent health which is enjoyed by the domes ti0 animals on our farms, and by their • freedom from diseasecr of a serioua nature. The attention of the merchants in ,Europe, who buy large quantities of food ,for, the millions of people in the irides- . trial centers there, htis•le"en directed to Canada aa a country from which the en- amel liroducts are of a pitrtaoularly ex- 'cellent quality. Among the cheese im- portations into the British markets ours e.has now the highest reputation. Our creamery butter is fa -.t gaining a good hold" an the market, and when kepi- quantities aegerquantities of itare made during the wits - ter months and shipped when the risk 'of injury from transportation is reduced to a minimum, it, bids fair to win a piaci ;which will be relatively as high as that which is now held by Canadian cheese. :Tbe superior excellence of the swine products which are sent from Canada is shown by the current rnarket rpeorts • in Great Britain; and yet though Can- adlan bacon and hams will bring in that Market from or.e to two cents per pound more than those from the United States, during the last three years the United States have, on an average, exe ported to the United Kingdom 444 mil- lion pouncle, while Canada has not sent more than 6 million pounds. Again ,w.h1lu the United States have, during the' same period, sent about 21 million ,lbs of pork every year to the United lmri om,.-.Canada has only sent about 7,00 lbs. In lard also the United States . send over 100 million pounds annually, ew•hittetanadaedoesenit-send • mme-t.hare '67,000 pounds. It is within the easy reach of our fanners •ti;' ; oh larger share of this market, with direct advantage to their pockets, as well as to:the fertility of their fields, through the feeding of swine on barley, wheat or 'ether grains that have been slightly ,damaged, in exceptional circumstances, by frost or unfavorable weather. Farm• ers would thus find a profitable outlet for. what have hitherto been unsaleable .products at remunerative prices. The experiments which have been tried at the Dominion Experimental Farm show that froip 43 to 73 cents per bush el, may be reliaied for froz ,n wheat when fed to swine, whela they bring five cents per pound live weight. -To meet the requirements of the for eign markets, it seems desirable that the farmers should sell their swine -a- live, din order that they may be slaugh- tered, dressed and cured in such urn-. form manner so as to meet the prefer. • eneee of those foreign customers who are willing and able to pay the highest price per Oland.for the products. • X desire also to call attention to the information which has been presented OAF'S, farmers . in the ,pages of Bul- lentin No. 16, giving results from ex- periments in the feeding of Steers. else . economy of _growing fodder.00rn for ensilage or for feeding as cured fodder -corn, is clearly set forth by the ecpeeiments which have been made and reported on. In our competition .with the producers of foods in other countries, oar ultimate suttees must arise ''from our farmers adopting those. methods which will enable them to pro- ' duce at the lowest possible cost, in order that they may have a margin of Arent for themselves, no matter in what a iarkoet they mayameet competitors. It appears that a large number of farm- eers in Canada, feed. excessive quantities ' of meal and concentrated feedsto steers which are being fattened, By adopting the methods which are recommended iti the bullentin for the fattening of cattle, it may become more profitable for our farmers to finial until fit for the butcher, all the beef cattle which they taxa to sell. t eel. confident that when the atten- f the farmers is directed to these Ts, they will derive great benefit frothe adoption of the best methods of feeding both classes of stook. It Woulct be to the advantage of every one intreeted in the welfare of Canada, to encourage and assist the farmers to pro, duos What they have to sell in the most economical way, and to make it of the very best quality. They would thus ob- tain larger profits, as 'well as a mostede- nirable and valuable preference in the trtarket to which Canadian products are finally sent. you Ni11 confer a favor upon myelf And also upon the agricultural coinmun• its 'in -Which your paper circulates, if Foul will be good enough to call the at. teatime cif these two Bulletins, and ad• viae your readers that copies can be had, posi,dge free, on application to the Die ruotor of4tie Xxpexirautral l+l4rw (Atm, cru..

I feel very sorry to part with the senior partner, Mr. Whitely, from the feet that your scribe bas been acquaint- ed with that getleman pretty nearly half a century, and always found him straight and honest in hie dealings and a good old fashion "shake” when we meet. I hope my old time friend will get through thio "Valley of Tears" right side up with care. As fur the junior partner and present proprietor, Mr, Todd, I have not had the pleaeure of his acquaintance very long, but I read of him ae a first °lase businessman and has a good record.
