Poultry prices in the Farmers forum a the discussion of All matters of interest j to the Farmers of Western i letters to editor Farmers editorial comment select and thick smooth hogs in the last Lew months so Ucli has been said at breeders matting and in letters to Tho press As to grading of Bacon hogs that it is get Ting to be a thread Bare subject to everyone except the Man who raises the hogs and the Packer who handles them for an Export Market nevertheless the last word on the subject has not yet teen said. The editor of this Page was in Toronto Tho other week and took that Opportunity of seeing something of Tho handling of hogs at the Harris Abattoir Toronto s largest packing company and the company which is at present Busy putting in a Large Plant at St. Boniface. We went up one Day and saw the hogs slaughtered and put in the cooler and went up again with a Day s interval Between and saw the same Lifors Cut up graded and sent to Tho curing vats and found the two experiences in the nature of a. Liberal education. These hogs were graded three times by government graders when they wore brought in tie Toronto Yards again on the rails As they changed our View on the injustice of the severe cuts on outweigh hogs last fall but we saw very much that convinced us that Tho Best Way to avoid outweighs was to study the proper conformation of a select hog and then Breed and feed to that Ideal. The work that Saskatchewan has been doing in he demonstration courses described in a recent article in the forum cannot be too highly commended. It will be remembered that the University Extension service sent out for these demonstrations lean lean and prime cured sides and then invited local producers to bring their hogs in for comparison. The fact that steadily if but very slowly the select Bacon hogs is increasing shows that it can be done and we do not believe that any enterprising Western Farmer is willing to admit that his neighbor can do something that he cannot do lie gives his mind to it. The thing that is needed is not a wild Rush into hog Breeding again unfortunately Many of our Best sows wore sold last fall but for every Farmer to make up his mind to have at least one sow of the right kind and we. Would suggest Community Breeding so that a first class. Boar May be secured. The first Day we were at the har Ris Plant we had a talk to the presi Dent and to told us the number of sows that they had received from the West and that there were still in their storage and for which they have no Sale. Good Type he said that ought to All have been producing litters this we Felt like saying something about the Cut on shop hogs being responsible a group of Clydesdale horses owned by a. J. Arnold of Manitou Man., who is seen standing at the right of the picture. Or. Arnold won prizes with these horses at this year s Winter fair at Brandon. Were sent according to their apparent Grade to different sections of the cooler and a third time when trimmed to proper Wiltshire sides they passed a final inspection and were the owl ing vats or tanks according to their whether lean or and Dis covered that some of the hogs that had graded selects in the Yards got no higher than prime in the final test when they passed under the Eagle Eye of Tho gentleman the end of the cutting table. If there was an Odd Accord ing to Yard grading that graded leanest from the cutting table we did not see it we could not help wishing that a number of hog raisers West had been with us to the exit plantations of Tsmith the Man who is superintendent of the Plant., As to what constitutes an Ideal or in other words highest Grade of Bacon for the Export Market. The hogs were going Over this table at the rate of 250 an hour there were sixty men at work thirty on a Side and each Man had one Job to do in connection with the half of a hog As it came along. They worked like a. Finely adjusted piece of machinery and each Side As it finally reached the weigher and syrader at the end of the tabled was quite a picture in its smoothness and finish but also it showed where in there were defects the too thick Collar of fat the too the bulging belly the Lack of flesh ing Over the loin etc., were More noticeable than when the car casses had been hanging in the cooler. This was the place were defects in both Breeding and feeding could be detected even by the Layman. The hogs we saw were All from and when we glanced Over the Gra. Ing were be ing recorded it was surprising the relatively Small number of leanest sides and the Large percentage of Price if our memory serves Smith Shaw stated were Worth ten shillings less per Hundred on the British Market to say nothing of the fact that what the British mar Ket is calling for is a. Continuous of leanest and lean Bacon. Ontario Lias been showing a very much better percentage of select Bacon hogs than we have been do ing in so that it looks As if there was considerable to be done in the matter of Breeding and feeding to bring Oil. Product up to the requirements of the Trade and we Are firmly convinced that Noth ing help Western Farmers to realize this need As the. Immediate of Bacon out of the various plants and the Publica Tion of Tho number of each. Grade of hog going in. Number of each Grade of Wiltshire Side com ing out. Unless to Are very Vacily out in our calculations it would be considerable of. A revelation. Another thing that occurred to us was the character of Many of the hogs tha t sold As. On the Winnipeg Market last fell and How Large a percentage of them might have. Graded selects and thick smooths had been properly finished. After All. What is wanted in hogs is very much to Haft called for in beet animals namely that when head and feet Are removed the car Cass or half carcass shall -b.e. Lwell balanced not a Small Hind Quarter and a Tore Quarter but fora and. Hind quarters and. In the Case of the. Hog the space be tween Ham and shoulder which is the most valuable part of the car Cass of even depth wild fleshing and an oven depth of fat along the Back.
