About Hog Raising. To the Lditer of Tan POST. Dun Sru.—I see your columna are open to all that interests the farmers. I beg to trespass upon your valuable space. While visiting the various fall shows I bave been struck with the lank of oppor- tunity in judging, more particularly in hogs. Surely the time has come when the direotore could find a man that could judge by points and give to eaoh class of bogs the points in which each excel, Bo that breeders could then better under- etaild the most profitable Lines to breed. I desire in this letter to point out ae briefly as possible, some of the errors in- to which farmers and breeders have fallen. I will first touch the : Berkshire hog. It is a well-known fent they are the greatest eaters of any ; they devour their food with great rapidity, being very round or barrel-shaped, therefore are possessed with a large amount of in- ternals =slug a very large loss in dron- ing. From actual weighing loss in dress. ing of 28 per cent ; others say from 80 to 82. Now we know this ie too large a loss to be passed over, representing 28 per cont. of Berkshire boas slaughtered in the province. Now this enormous loss represents thousand of dollars to the farmers. I feel sure they will hail with a great deal of eatisfaotion the newsthat there is a better hog namely the Ohio Cheater White, easy to mature at from 7 to 8 months at from 225 lbs. to 2751be. at 8 montbe and as I have dressed them at a net leas of 14 per bent, in dressing at the present Toronto price for pork, $7.25 per hundred weight, it means a difference in favor of the Cheater White of say Si per hundred weight, and if this is not enough is change. I am prepared to say when the difference of the oaring of the greater weight of meat the Berk. shire is very Short between shoulders and have with a corresponding deereaae in back, long clear and bellies with large shoulders and very heavy on the top of the neck and under the jowls where the meat is coarse and cheap. This latter' deeoription appliee equally tr the Suffolk which le a woll.known fact they are too fat to be eaten with any degree of plea- sure. There is no wonder so many .fay they do not want pork, it is too fat. It is a well-known feature of the Chester, a long -rangy hog, pretty flat on rib, with a great capacity for carrying a large amount of fine rouny meat on sides and bath, small shoulders, short neck, email bead, small amount of room inside, with meat carried well throughout inside of rib, muoh easier fed, and not a digger, will not plow your farm up, and is pos- beesed with a log and 'foot which is able to stand up. How many remarked at Blyth show that the Berkshires shown, tinder ono year, had hardly any logs to stand suffering from dedeiency of bone, a nomplaint the Borkehirehog is subject to... As to the rnarketiugof hogs. Ielaim the time has come when the Chester White bog shoeld Itavo a spacial tating en the market according to their value, namely, 9125 per hundted weight snore than Berkshire, difference in quality of meat 11, BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, NOV. 1, 1889. i0 talion into account waillose in dressing et 14 per cent. And now, dear sir, as those aro live iseuea to each farmer and poor fawn that can raise a pig, I say to all, think over these facts, study them, weigh your bops and troop a book ae well as hogs. One word moro, don't sell your hogs on foot or live weight as you aro heavy losers, as button endeavor to get you to stand a shrinkage of 20 per cont. That le more titan the Chaster White loses in dressing, as you sell readily at 5t cents per peend, dressed weight. Go in for raising more hogs. We want a hundred thousand more hogs raised in this preview to etop shipments from the other side, then the farmers of Huron need not go to the land of the stare and atripoi', To the farmers with a number of sons, give cue tan acres and a stools of sows, with sobriety and industry be will succeed. Thanking you for yourvalnablo space, I am, Yours, October 22, '80. Tiros. B AYLIa. TESTING THE NEW STEAMER• The Trenton (Ontario) Advocate of Oot, 24, 1880, says : "On Monday after- noon the citizens of this town had the opportunity of witnessing the testing of the Ronald steamer, autt when we say that all were hnore than pleased with its performance we but faintly echo the ex• presaione generally made use of. The steamer was placed on the dock in rear of Molson'a Bank, and a line of hose, 1,000 feet in length, was laid, reaching to the railway crossing. Froth the time of applying the torch to the throwing of the water was 03 minutes, and the stream thrown was a powerful ono. Two lines of hose, 500 feet each, were then laid, and two streams were thrown fully thirty 'feet above the brass ball on top of the tower, of the new poetofi'ice. The height ot these streams must have been fully ono hundred end thirty or forty feet. Several very thick panes of glass in the top of the tower were broken litre a sheet of paper, which will give some idea of the force of the water. The nexb test was made by having two lines of Rosa 800 foot eaoh attached to a aiamesc coupling, on which was placed an Melt and threo-eighthe nozzle. With a steam pressure of less than 100 lbs, and a wet. er pressure of 220 lbs, the stream thrown must have boeu fully three hundred feet in height. Such a stream of water has never before been thrown by a ere steam- er in this part of Canada. During tite whole performance the engine hardly sbowed a tremor, although the wheels were not blocked, To sum up, itis not saying too much when we affirm that today Trenton has as good, if not the best fire engine in America. Its action is amply perfect, and its mechanism re. dounds greatly to the credit of the man- ufacturer, Juo. D. Ronald, of Brussele, The engine now in this town is a etand- ing advertisement for hie establishment, and municipalities in want of fire pro- tection will make a groat mistake if they purchase a steamer before giving the Ronald a trial, as a better machine can• not be had in this country." The following is clipped from the Tor- onto daily World, of October 23, 3.889 t "Attention is direoted to the letter of Mayor Bigginge of Sault Ste, Matie, Ont. (which appears in another column) io reference to the excellent work done by the new Ronald fire steamer at the late big fire at Cook's !Mills, Serpent River. Mayor Biggings states that the perform- ance of the steamer was wonderful, one If and three a inch streams completely drowning ont-the lire. Cook Brea. can testify to the worthiness of the steamer. The World is informed that Chairman Shaty, of the Fire and Gas Committee has received a tender for the supply of one or more of these engines in addition to the present plant of our fire depart- ment. These would prove grand Are. fighters in case of an emergency." • MB =MR. SATLT STE. Mane, Ont., Oct, 10, '89. John D. 2ionald Brussels Ont.: DEAD Sm,—The new fire steamer that you furnished us with two months ago has bad its first fight et the big fire last Saturday at Cook's Mille, Serpent River, 90 miles from here, and wo all feel proud of it—it was Bent down there in a hurry —she did splendidly. All who saw her performance opolce loudly in her praises. Her attack on a blazing pile of 15,000 bushels of oats and 12,000 tons of coal is described as something terrific. One If and three a inch streams drowned out the fire and ploughed deep furrows with great force Into the burning pile, but Cook Bros. will most likely publish a re• port of her grandwork at the fire. 1 am glad to hear that you are Bend. ing out mote of your splendid fire•flght. ereto protect the country against the fearful assaults of the Ore -fiend.

Hiram ourltoeular 00rrespondont,) "WASHINGTON, Aet, 20, '50. Efforts have been made during the past taw days to cause &coretery Tracy to change hie mind about sending the now squadron of evolution, consisting of the cruisers Chicago, Atlanta and Bos- ton and the gunboat Yorktown, to Europe this fall under the command of noting Rear Admiral '4N/siker. It has been represented to bim through the New York press and by private oorres- pondents that tho showing made by theoo four "tin ships," 0,5 some officers have contemptuously dubbed them, would not be worth the expenee and the time lost on the trip, for the superiority of the foreign naval forces would be painfully apparent wherever our squad- ron would melte its appearance. It is also argued that there is not sufficient funds at hand for the proper entertain- ment of the foreigners on the trip, and that the amount of prestage and repu- tation enuring to the Tinted States as a result of the visitation would be ridicul- ously small. It was suggested that in- stead of wasting the show on the unap- preciative Europeans the squadron be sent on a visit around the American con- tinente, visiting in tern every principal port on the two coasts, with San Fran- cisco as an objective point. This, it was urged would. produce far better results in the lino of creating a respect for our naval prowess among the very folks whom itis now most desirable to int. press. There was yesterday a rumor that tbo Secretary had actually reoon. sidered hie order and he had deoided to send the squadron southward instead of morose the Atlantio. This was unfound- ed, and there is no doubt that the new vessels will Bail over the route already laid down. The main argument of the South Am- erican pian 5eem5 to be based on the theory that the new fleet is a "squadron of impression," whereas • the official title given it, "squadron of evolution," clearly indicates that it is the desire of the Sec- retary that the officers and 'men of bhe navy should be given a chance to handle the new war ships under all oircumstan- cos. Of course this oonld be done equal- ly well in a South American anise, but the fleet would not have the same op. portuulties of judging by contrast of the qualities of those navies which it is our duty to watch. An interesting conference is now in progress at the census office. Some time ago Superintendent Porter devised the plan of making an experimental test for the purpose of determining the best method of collecting the statistics of re- corded indebtedness, Congress had (W- eeded him to gather statistics on this alibied, but he found it 100,5 entirely a new field, The statistics of wealth, debt and taxation that usually forme a feat- ure of every census, and was so elabor- ately treated in the last .census report, were confined entirely to public indebt- edness. But Congrees had required that the recorded indebtedness of corporations and individuals should bo ascertained. There were two principal difficulties in the way of making such an investigation. The first was a praotioal plan of attain- ing the best and fullest results, and sec- ond whether the cost of the work would not exceed what had been appropriated. As may be readily understood the inves- tigation preeents more than ordinary dif• Acuities. But looking at the matter from the practical standpoint which he has assumed in the direotion and manage• ment of the census Mr. Porter decided to Bend mon in the field with authority to collect statistics on this subject in cer- tain localities. They were to pursue dif- ferent plans and when the results were compared Mr. Porter thought he would be able to determine what plan would he the most practicable, These gentlemen have now completed their work and aro together at the census oMoe engaged in dompiling the result to be reported to Superintendent Porter. There ie no doubt that a plan can bo devised which will be fairly satisfactory, but it is a queetion whether the cost will not far exceed the amount appropriated. In the latter event Mr. Porter will probably re- port the fact to Congress so that a suf. ficin t appropriation oan be made before the work is begun.

Stretton ve. Holmes et s1; -This case oaueed mare interest than any .other at the Court' The parbies to the suit live in Brussels. It appeared from the evi- donee that on or about the 24e11, of Nov. last year the plaintiff, Mrs. Jno,,Stretton, was taken with illneee, and sena for de- fendant Holmes, who is a regular prao• Wiener, to prescribe for her case. Re ,aid so, and wrote a pre8oription which the husband of plaintiff carried to the thug store of defendant Deadman to have made up. The druggist was abeent, but hie young man, who had served, hie full apprentiaeahip of three years„ but bad not passed his final examination, filled the proscription. Inadvertently, he made a mistake inone of tho ingredients, substituting hydrocyanic acid for hyd3o- ohlorio acid. Both ingeedtente are 'poi:', sons, but both are used in small quanti- ties fn presoriptions. On the return of defendant Deadman to the drug store the error was discovered, and the druggfet. and clerk at once set 'out, the one to get the dootor to see plaintiff ,in Daae the mixture had been taken by her, and the other to obtain the bottle containing the preparation, and fill theprescription originally sent. The clerk went to the (hotel and told the hueband of plaintiff that he wanted to get the bottle of mix- ture, and it was given him without do. mer, The druggfet met the doctor and Bent him to the patient to see if any ill results had followed. The doctor did so, tend gave evidence that there were no, ap- parent restate. 'He attended the patient for a day or two, and, being eonVinoed that no harm had been done, ceased his visits. On the other hand, plaintiff gave testimony that she had been attacked with every symptom apparent from tho effects of an overdose of (hydrocyanic acid ; that from that day to this she had been a helpless invalid, a harden to Her rolabives and a 500row to herself; that whereas proviously alio had been robust and hearty, now she was it physical wrook, &o, and in this alts was endorsed by her freehand, her brathor-in.law and her mottle:Ain.lete. A friend of here, 1Kfso Chambers, gave evidence that on the they after the alleged poisoning she b oalied Upon plaintiff and found her ra. tf0na1 and in no way excited. Plaintiff id oh) thatocoasin told her that for folie years she had been in poor health fn b Denver, Col:, aril that she had come to Canada for the benefit of her health, Dr, Holmes also swore that plaintiff merle a similar statement to' bim. Plaintiff stated that for thirbyeix hours after taking the mixture elm ' had been in an unconscious oondibio5, widen evidence was negatived by thedoctorand Miss Chambers, The quantity of hydrocyanic acid administered wee proven to be a little over seven minims, and the smallest quantity known to kill was stated by the medical witnesses to be 45 minims. The medical testimony went to show that even an overdose, short of fatal results, could prod,oe no permanent injury, and that whereas the drug in largo quantities wee into of the moot'deadly poisons, the effects of smaller quantftiee • were trans- ient, the poieon being c1sa evanescent a character that it was eliminated from the system in from half -an -Neter tp en hour. Dr. Gunn, president of the Huron Medi- cal Assooiation, cited a ease in hut peace Moe where sixteen minims hod been token and the patient wat over the • clrecte in abont half mahout.. The doctors called by plaintiff would not sttto that seven minims conld have hal the effect upon the plaintiff wh1011 she c'aihned to have exper:eneed, and the medical men called for the defence were positive in their statements that no auoh results could possibly follow from taking that quantity. Althougo the doctors differed there was no material discrepancy on the question of permanent results. When the evi- dence was all in, lir. Garrow, eounselifor defendants, moved for a non -suit, on the ground that there was no ease to nitwit to the jury. The motion was noted. by hie Lordship and reserved for c, fu etre bearing. Elis Lordship, in summing: up, Meted that this 1000 a 0050, wlhicb,. pro perly speaking, was outside of the ordin- ary lay pritotice, and hs hoped the time would come when such oases would' go for adjudication before a commission of experts. After impartielly stating the case, the gave three questions to the jury to answer; (1) was plaintiff iujared by the medicine administered? (2) was the injury of a permanent nature ? (3) what was the. amount of damages? The jury then retired, and, after being absent ueer- ly an hour, brought in a verdict. They answered question 1 in the afii: native ; question 2, that the injuries trete tem. porary, not permanent, and question 3, by assessing damages at $100.

Dairymen Ding', 'she annual oyster supper of the Lis. towel Dairymen's Board of Trade, field on Thursday night of last week, was highly euaaoseful- It was attended by salesmen from about fifty faeboriee, by the buyers of the district, and local men. ,, Letters of regreb wore read from S. R. fleseon, M. i'., Geo. Hees, 182, P. P., and H. H. O'Reilly. After a oapital repeat, the principal speakers were Thos. Bal- lantyne, M. Ie. P., Stratford ; Prof. J. W. Robertson, 0, A. 0., Guelph, and C. E. Ohedwiok, Ingersoll. Their speeches were of high praobical value. The sec- retary, Wm. Climio, read some statistics of the Board showiegover 100,000 boxes of ebeoso boarded ab Listowel during the season, and the amount of cheese made in the Lietawol district to be about one million dollars worth. After the vena! boasts, JSr. Ballantyne, in reply to the toast of the cheese blame try, gave a short outline of the develop. ment of the cheerio factory system iu the Western Oatarho and said that the Lis. towel section, which now tae the best reputation in Ontario, gained this posi- tion by employing good melon and in- sisting on care by the patrons in hand- ling milk. Ho did not think it was due espeoiallyto natural advantages, because at one time Listowel ohhese was of very bad flavor. He emphasized the impor- tance of paying the makers liberally ; by grinding down their eateries even now the quality of the make was being in- juredConsumers iu England now - sought after those "beautiful Canadian cheese," and we will be the losers if we. lose our reputation as cheese producers by driving the best makers from the fact- ories. .He was hopeful for the dairy out- look, did not think cheese would become unprofitable, and drew attention to. the fact that the dairying districts were be- coming wealthy. Professor Robertson referred in eulo- gistic terms to the work done by Mr, Ballantyne from the early days of the cheese industry up to the present ; in fact, so much was flee the case that the present prosperous state of dairying ought be palled the personification of eallantyne's individuality.
