Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. It is not altogether desirable that agriculture should he organized on the _ same fines as great manufacturing en- terprises, but it is desirable above everything els titat the best inforzna- tion available as applied to agricul- ture, should be at the service of each individual farmer. It has appeared, also; desirable that he should xeceive .encouragement aud, where ueedfaathe co-operation of governments at the beginning of his organized co-opera- tion with other farmers, with mer- chants and with transportation com- panies, for the improvement of prod- ucts, the extension of markets and the bettering of transportation, The Department of Agriculture is endeav- oring to provide these forms of help, and this is one of the channels through which that assistance reaches the farmer and a knowledge of the farmer's wants reaches those capable of supplying them. Experenents in pora produetio*t were commenced at the Central Ex- perimental Farm at Ottawa in 2890 by Prof, .T, W. Robertson, wiao up to 2896 was agriculturist ; the werk was • continued from 1896 to 1899 by Dr, W. Saunders, the Director of Experi- finoerattlaiel blaaalratnu cse ioni tti ce i1cTai en lsovna s; saunpc_l ervised by 'alr, J. II. Grisdale; b. Aer., the present agriculturist. The breeds introduced in 1890 were. Berkshires' Improved I,arge York- shires andEssex. Since then Chester Whites, Poland -Chinas .. and Tani - worths have been secured, while the Essex has been discarded, - The result of ten years' expert.; ments has, been to prove the York- saire-Tamworth cross to be the best fitted to suit the market today. The Yorkshire -Berkshire -cross aroved,how- • ever, a growthy pig awl well fitted for general Ilse. Where quick growth andearly matarity. are especially des- ired the Berkshire-Taniworth cross will fill the bill; .. 'Where these breeds have been .cros-. sect with the Chester:White, the Pot- ancl-China ota the Essexthe get, in most .cases, . has proved to be of a rather short, blocky type. They have, on the whole, exhibited a .strong ten- dency to lay, ow fat rather :than dev. clop muscular tissue. The tea. years' experiment in feech- ate itidieete that it will net pay to cook feed for swine where economy of pork .production is the sole considera- tion, , There is a gradual increase in the quantity' of feed consumed for ev- ery -pound Of gain in live weight after 'the average live weight exceeds toe pounds. - The most economical time to slaugh- ter swine .is when' they weigh from 175 to 206 pounds. .

They are the better for exer- cise in an open straw yard, but they should have a dry, wartn, well lighted pen, with a southern aspect, to re- tire into. Their troughs should be kept perfectly clean by irequent wash- ings, their pens should be cleaned as regularly' as those of horses or cattle. They should be so constructed that water can be freely employed hi wash- ing them out. Thirty per cent, ereo- lin solutions should.' be frequently sprayed over the entire pen. The young pigs and shoats should be dip- ped once a fortnight in a ten per cot. solution of ereolin in .tepid wat- er, This will remove parasites, re- lieve skin irritation and cause the an- inials to thrive much better titan they will do without this treatment.
