It Would Be a Calamity to leopardize‘ So Valuable an 1 Industry. investigations by the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department ct Agriculture have shown that for some months past the supply oi bacon hogs in Canada has been falling 011. Even before the order was issued debui'ring packers from importing United States hogs to be slaughtered in bond, ditficulâ€" iy was experienced by Canadian puck- ers in procuring sufficient hogs. The amount of the shortage during the sum- mer and {all is indicated by the fact that packers claim to have been able to se- cure only irom 30 to 50 per- cent. oi the capacity of their lactories. u LnnA nlnim Hog raisers, on the other hand,c1aim that the production is considerably nearer the normal than would appeur“ trom the statements of the packers. ltl 5. they say, partly an increase in the packing house capacity, rather than a decrease in hog raising. in some of Lllel dairying sections the supplies are re- ported to be very little, it any. below the normal, while in other districts the Bhoi'tage is placed at about 20 lo 25 per con . » 1L- ALA... Ul‘llln Enquiries as to the cause of the short- ‘ age brought from the packers and pro- ducers a variety of replies. The packers ‘ claim that for the past three years or more the competition between buyers. at hogs has been so keen that top pricesl have been paid continuously and that; ‘lhese prices have been high enough to give a profit to the producer. They claim, ihcreiore, to be at a loss to understand why there is A SHORTAGE AT THIS TIME. Speaking from the standpoint of the producer, wellâ€"informed authorities claim that the price has been as uniformly‘ high as it should have been. At times or the year when packers anticipated heavy runs prices dropped to a price where no profit. was left for the (coder. This, they complain, took.ptace last sea- son when sows would be bred for the supplies of the tell just past, and as coarse grains were high and labor scarce at that time, many brood sows were sent to the market. Again it is argued that the majority ol packers have not encouraged the pro- duction of hogs oi the bacon type and weight. For a number of years im- provement in the hog stock of the coun- iry made satisfactory progress, but during the past season. at least, the producers of the ideal sort have receiv- ed no encouragement to continue their Work; a flat rate has been paid (or good and bad alike. The hogs fit only to compete. with the low price American stock brought quite as much as the sort that competes with the lrish and Dan- NEARLY 8,000 CASUALTIES. MANY STATIONS BURNED.

I strenuous effort to build up, may be - come seriously demoralized. In 1890 there were only two packing . houses in the export trade with a week- ly capacity of some 3,000 hogs, while in 1905 the weekly capacity 01 the 16 pack- ing houses in operation was some 50.- 000. While this limit has not been reached within from 10,000 to 15,000 i hogs weekly according to the season, 1 the output from Canada has reached about $15,000.000 annually, or 20 per cent. of the total quantity of bacon im- ported by Great Britain. To jeopardize so valuable 'an industry would be no- ‘thing less than A NATIONAL CALAMITY. if the farmers who have been in the habit of raising hogs will accord the ba- con industry a steady, persistent sup- port, begotten of the knowledge that hog raising pays year in and year out, nthe future has very large possibilities for the Canadian bacon industry. Cana- dian bacon having already won a place or the British market commanding re- spect, as it increases in quantity and improves in quality it will undoubted- ly become a daily necessity of the Britâ€" ish consumer. That it may occupy this enviable position both farmer and pack- er must co-operate. the farmer by pro- ducing the steady supply of the rightt class of hogs, the packer by paying a fairly uniform price from month to month and from year to year; and he must give value per pound accordingto ’the quality of the product he received. .Let each do his part, and there will be little trouble about the supply of hogs for keeping the factories going at a normal What appears to be most tions of confidence be restored and main- tained between packer and farmer- through fair dealing and intelligent co- operation. With these and the appreci. ‘ation on the part. of the producer of the possibilities of the industry, hog raising cannot fail to be one of the most profit- able branches of Canadian agriculture.

Story of llow a Young Fellow ot Seven- teen Was Saved From Crime. About a year ago a county magistrate wrote to J. J. Kelso that he had a young fellow about seventeen years of age who had been guilty of house-breaking. le did not like to send him to the Central Prison as his mother .was dead, his father was a drunkard. and [or ten years past he had not known a decent home or kind treatment. “I know you have all you can do helping younger people'.’ he wrote, “ but it it is at all possible take an interest in this young tellow.‘ The appeal, although meaning much trouble and worry, was hard to resist. IWord was sent to suspend sentence, get the young man a ticket to Toronto, and give him a letter of introduction. He presented himself in due time, and a situation was obtained for him. After working for a..out a month he called to say that he did not like the city. and that it he could only return to the counâ€" try again he would give no more trouble. He was allowed to go back again with a letter of protection and has been work- ing steadily since that time. In a letter received by Mr. Kelso recently he says:â€" i“l like to be here better than in the city, but I wish i could see you sometimes to thank you for all you did for me. 1 think about you when I am at my work and think how glad i might. be for i am sure that you were a friend of mine. I feel that I can do nothing but show you my respectablencss for you have stood by me. I hope to hear from you soon.” This is the work the Children's Aid Societies all over the Province are try- ing to doâ€"save the youth of the country before they become hardened in wrong- doing. Many lads take up with crime because they have no real friends, no love or sympathy shown them, and no one to grieve should they go astray. There is a great field for usefulness right here, and almost any good man or woman inspired by the proper motives can be a friend in need to some neglected youth.

The prisoner, who whs picked up on the street by mere chance, is declared to be James Mances, former- ly an American bookmaker, who IS wanted in connection with the famous Bank of Liverpool robbery of NOVCanul' ‘22, 1901. in which the English institu- tion, through forgery and conspiracy. was defrauded of more than $800,000. Subsequently $380,000 of this amount was recovered from the conspirators, the bank having sustained a net loss at more than $400,000. While admitting his name to be James Mances. the men under arrest usserts thut he had no part in the affair. After being taken to head- quarters and being examined Man was locked up.
