THE SWINE INDVSTY IN
ONTARIO.
A bulletin. upon thie subject has been
prepared by the Ontario Department of
Agriculture, which oontainaiaformation
of an instructive and suggestive ohar-
aoter.
The following questions were sent to
several thousand carefully selected cor-
respondents, and from the replies re-
ceived a report is given in detail by
oounties, together with a summary for
the province as a whole:
1, What breeds, grades or crosses
of hogs appear to be popular in your dis-
trict?
2. Has there been may general ten-
dency to change from one breed or
type of hog to another during the last
two or three years?
3 . If there has been any change in
the kind of hog fed, please describe the
nature of the change?
4. Are grade sires used
triot?
5. What is the general feeling a-
mong the farmers in your section as to
the hog production this year? Do they
show a disposition to increase their out-
put and to what extent?
6. About how many breeding sows
were kept by the average farmer in your
section in 1904? How many in 1005?
How many this season?
7. What is the average number at
pigs to reach weaning age in spring
litters this year? Has the percentage of
them been greater than usual?
9. What do you consider the average
cost of production of Bacon hogs fitted
for market? (a) Stammer feeding; (b)
Winter feeding.
Breeds—The Yorkshire is the most
popular breed. In 33 out of 42 countries
reporting it gets first plane, and in seven
others it is a tie with some other breed
for first place. Berkshires come next in
favor, followed by Tamworths and
Chester Whites in the order named.
Duron Jerseys and Poland Chinas re-
ceive but little mention outside of the
counties of Essex and Kent.
Crosses --While many crosses are
used the most popular is that between
the Yorkshire and Berkshire. In the
province there is a tendency to use the
Berkshire more than formerly in cross-
ing, while in the eastern half the trend
is more toward the use of the York-
shire.
Sires.—Pure bred sires are used al-
most entirely in 25 per cent, of the
counties, while grade sires are used to a
limited extent in about twenty per cent.
and to a still greater extent in 55 per
cent. of the aonntiea; while in a few
sections grade sires are still used almost
entirely. The district taking in the
northwestern peninsula will be found to
be freer from the use of grade sires than
any other section of the province, though
there are individual •counties elbewhere
from which reports are just as fovorable.
Grade sires appear to be most in use in
the more eastern counties.
Production.—The general tendency
throughout the province is to increase
production slightly. In many of the
eastern counties it has been the custom
for farmers to depend upon breeders in
their locality for their supply of young
pigs for feeding, and it has been noted
that the demand this spring consider•
ably exceeds the supply, the breeders
who usually sell their pigs retaining
them on account of the good prices for
hogs. Considerable caption, however,
is observed among many individual
breeders and feeders not to go into the
business too extensivly for fear that over-
production might bring prices down to
an unprofitable point.
Breediug Sows.—The number of
breeding sows was decreased consider-
ably in 1905 over 1904, while 1006 shows
an increase compared with the previous
two years. Comparing 1906 ss ith 1905,
35 counties report increases While only
two counties report decreases, and five
counties no ohmage in the number of
sows. Reports indicate that the east-
ern part of the province is relatively hi.
creasing ranch more rapidly than fa be•
frig done in Western Ontario. In all
parts of the province the demand foe
brood aows appears to exceed the supply.
Littera.--The percentage of loss of
young pigs is greater than usual in
large proportion of the counties, which
will have its effect upon the fall de.
liveries. The average number of pigs
in spring littera reaching the Weaning
age is estimated at 7.61 as compared
with a normal litter of 7.77 pigs at wean.
ing time.
Cost of reeding.—The average cost of
summer feeding is placed at $4 Si per
cwt., and of winter feeding, $5.38 per
cwt. In few oases, however, do corree-
pondente state definitely that the lignites
"Slot& for over slat* ',earl." given are tho result of actual experi.

Rea Mr Emmerson has announced that
the Intercolonial would show a surplus
of about $100,000 on the results of last
year's operations. Total receipts for the
finanotal year up to June 30, were $7,-
710,506, an increase of $839,981. On the
Prince Edward Island Railway, which
also belonged to the Dominion Govern-
ment, there was a deficit during the pre-
ceeding year of $153,000, while for the
year just concluded he estimated the de-
ficit would be under $50,000, That
would mean a net surplus of $50,000 on
the whole Government system.
It is the habit of certain alleged inde-
pendent papers to sneer at Hon C S Hy-
man
yman as a practical politician. Mr Hy-
man may be that, but he has splendid
business ability and integrity as well,
Note the fact that notwithstanding the
publio works department is the largest
spending department in the Govern-
ment, not one of the host of Tory muck-
rakers hat) been able to discover the
slightest evidence of wrongdoing in the
work of which he has charge. If being
a practical politician equip men for such
valuable public service as Mr Hyman is
performing, we say let ns have more of
them.—Stratford Beacon.
A review of the business of the past
year was given at the annual meeting
of the Toronto branch of the Canadian
Manufacturers' Association held. Tues-
day afternoon at the office of the Em-
ployers' Association, Victoria Chambers,
by the retiring Chairman, Mr W B Tin-
dall. He stated that our home market
is our greatest market and is constantly
growing greater. Of the goods manu-
factured in Canada 84 per Dent. are con-
sumed in the home market. The an-
nual output of oar factories he estimat-
ed at $650,000,000, while the total export
of manufactures for the year ending
June, 1906, including sawn lumber,
canned and cured meats, fish, cheese,
Sour, etc., amounted to $102,000,000.
The statement for Canada for the fie -
cal year ended Jane 30 was issued Fri-
day. It dose not contain all the expendi-
tures for the year, as many outlays to
be sent in later must appear in the ba-
lance. The showing therefore, is more
favorable than will be the Daae when all
the returns are in. The total receipts
on consolidated revenue account were
$78,0006,509, exceeding the ordinary ex-
penditure by $23,945,275, and all the ex-
penditures combined by $11,217,368.
The total revenue was greater by $8,-
531,8.42 than that for the year previous.
Expenditure shows an increase of $3,-
781, 726. Capital expenditure was $i,-
743,545 more than for the preceeding
twelve months, amounting to 312,727,-
867.
The difficulty is with our standards of
duty. We touch lightly on our ethcial
training, but lay much stress on business
shrewdness. Are we not now reaping
the reward of aoae•sided education? The
fault is not so mach economic as ethical,
It is not sa inuoh that men are getting
inadequate incomes, as that they are less
in love with their work and more in love

FAMOUS PEOPLE

NORMAN DU:►canNCAN
A S:acc.ssful Cana,'Wrier.
One of the brilliant young writers of Canada who has won recognition by his
splendid work which foreshadows still greater performance, is Norman Duncan,
of whom the "London Spectator" which is usually chary of praise, said: "It is
a pleasure to know that there is a writer in the world from whom we may hope
for greater things."
Ile was born in the. City of Brantford, in 1871, and spent eight years at
Mitchell, Ont., and from there entered the University of Toronto. He took almost
the full course, but left before attaining a degree, as the scientific course did not
prove congenial, and the further he progressed the more distasteful it became.
His first work at journalism was at Auburn, :N.Y., in 1595 and two years later
he joined the staff of the "New York Evening Post." in this literary atmos-
phere, which harmonized• with his tastes and needs, he .began to develop, and
his first stories—tales of life in the Syrian quarter of New York—appeared serially.
They were simple, natural, heart -stories, told with sympathy, poetic insight
and dramatic power, and had that subtle quality of refinement and artistic finish
that reveal the personality of a fine mind radiating itself in print. When they
appeared in book form as "The Soul of the Street," they won Instant favor with
the discerning ones who appreciate individuality in literature.
Then he turned leis attention to the fishermen of Newfoundland and spent
a summer on the "French Shore," the northern section of the eastern coast of
Britain's oldest colony. In this quaint, primitive locality where the spinning
wheel still turns blithely, where no desecrating railroads invade the solitude of
nature or the seclusion of men, and where brave men fight fierce battles with ocean
storm for a livelihood, he lived in close companionship with the people and in
"The Way of the Sea," published his Newfoundland stories after they had de-
lighted thousands of magazine readers.
Then came "Dr. Luke of the Labrador," another 'book in whish the reader
feels the sharp, crisp, cool ocean spray in his face as he lives with the people whom
Mr. Duncan has created, and feels with them the little joys and sorrows that make
vp their daily lives. In all his stories—vital and pulsing with human energy
—the workalways seems like that of one who thinks in poetry and writes in prose,
—the work of one, who, knowing life and its struggles at close range, never permits
his experience to dull the edge of his optimism or of his faith in humanity. Mr.
Duncan is now professor of rhetoric in Washington and Jefferson College, Wash-
ington, Penh.
Entered according to Act ottbe Parliament of Canada, in the yeas 1805, by W. C. dtnck, st the Department of Agriculture
demand for butchers meat. Already the
retail men complain that the demand has
fallen off very considerably. Choice
butcher cattle were wanted in limited
quantities, but rough and heavy cattle
were not in demand.
For heavy feeders and good quality
light stockers there is a fair market at
steady prices,
Sheep are steady and spring lambs are
a little firmer this week. Calves are
about steady and in fair demand.
Hogs are steady to flrm,with no ohmage
from last week's advance. Salsas, $7.60.
