It is seldom 1410 a farmer allows timself to be carried, away by it pente. !His oteetomary hard common seat and coseservative methods uetially pro- tect him fronathis evil ; but when we hear of young pigs bag sold at fitt,y cents eaeh at weaning time, or elaughtered to stop their demends to food, it would been), as theugh some- thing closely, approaching a panic Mliet be abroad in the land. There probably aever was a Pante which did not aggraVate the evil Whiele set it in motion, and the demoralizing effects on the present pante among farmers must be apealaenti to ovorY eye. Doubtless there are one farm- •ers who are forced to sell their pigs through sheer aecessity, but euch un- fortunate cases are . not zufficiently numerous to account for all the yoking pigs and brooding sows which are being dumped upon a doubly glutted market at present. The farmer With feed in his bins has need to do some careful calculating before deciding to throw away his pigs. Selling stock .on a poor market in order to sell grain upon a high market is not al- ways a profitable enterprise, and the number of dollars coming into the treasuiY during the year may be con- siderably less under tits inetheei than had the grain been marketed i1L,. Ionm of meat. Farm animals, and especially hogs, consume and turn in- to valuable meat many proslucts, whichenight otherwise have been was- ted, and though the farmer may not always realize the highest market pri- ces for the grain fed to his hogs, the otherwise unsaleable products for which the hogs have provided a mar- ket will generally, under a careful 'system of feeding, much more than make up the deficiency. Where is' the Profit ? What does the farmer gain by seed - fitting his hop and selling his grain? In the first place he obtains .prevail-' ing market prices for his. grain which might or'might not have been obtained had.the grain been fedto the hogs. Secondly, he saves, the labor a feeding the hogs. Thirdly, he has less risk, and less capital invested. •Agates this he has incurred a heavy loss by •disposing of his stock on a glutted market.' He 'still.. has- the labeV of cleaning the grain and teaming it to market; He has lost the sale of • a nuniber of products which the hogs. eould profitably etiiize. He has sold a lot of valuable fertility, the absence' of vsbich will lessen his next crop and; henca •inerease the cost or Production. -Ile has placed himself •jn a„ position where he cannot take advantage ef tad high ptices for finished, . hogs which seem certain to prevail when the pres- ent excitement has burned itself; and after. all, he is not absolutely cer- tain that he got any more for his' grain than if he had lea it to his hop.. This last point calls for ter :her con- sideration. Some Important Figures. .• During the past two years. the Ont: ario Agricultural 001;loge has coiled - ed some very valuable •data regarding. the prices realized for feeds consumed • by bogs. Part of the hogs were fed Iat the College and part were fed bY farmers in different parts, of the noun try. The experiments deal with th food consumed by 297 hogs, aggregat ing 56,710 vowels when sold, or an everage weight IX 190.9 pound' eeeli. A variety of foods was used, com- prising barley, peas, oats, Middlings, braa, corn, sktm milk, roots aud rats- oellaneous foods which were valued by the •feedera at oxrtain SUMS and duly cliarged against the pigs. The young pigs at weaning time are valued at $1.50 each, whtch Is considerably above 'the coet et raising pigs ' trotn birth to weanihg,ineludling roatateite since of sow, etc. as ellown ter experts meets tonducted at the College. De- ducting from the selling price the eost of the pigs a.t $1.50 each, and the charges for miscellaneous aods, we find aa follows : . • If pigs were meld at 4 cents per Pound live weight they would. return $20.45 per ton for all meat consumed, including middlings and uien, ' 20 cents per hundred. -weight for skins milk and 10 cents Per hundree to roots. .. At 5 cents per pound live -weight, they, Would return $23.87 per ton for meal, 20. cents per hundred -weight for skim milk, and 10 wets 'per bush- el for roots, ... At reefeentie per pound live weight, they would return, $27.29 per ton for meal, 20 eents per hundred weight for plane milk, and 30:cents per .bushel for toots. - At 6 cents per pound live Weight, they would return $30:71 per. ton • for meal, 10 cents per cwt. for skirnamek,, and 10 cents per aushel for . roots: At fie cents per pound live weight, they evpold return $34.13 per ton air meal, 30 cesite aer cwt. for nal.; and 10 cents per bushel for roots. 7- Considering: that middlings red braa enter quite largely Intl) the.
