CQ-OPERATIVE PORK PACKING,

{From the Farmers Advocate.)

A Queen’s County, P. E. I, reader writes us a8 follows: “As a constant reader, who bighly appreciates your publi- cation, believing that you subordinate all all otber interests to that of the farmer’s, I beg to ask your opinion in the matter of cosoperative perkspaching by private enterprise, A packing establisnment of a capacity uf s.y 800 hogs daily was started in Charlottetown about the last. The prices paid for choice hogs bave been: November, 5c; December, 4c, to 4}c. Of late, am informed a little better prices obtain. However, by a letter published in our local paper, me are told that we are

being ‘fleeced, literally robbed,’ by this packer. Although I wust confear as a farmerthis isnot my view of the

case, still, as a result,a large meeting of the farmers of rince County convened in Summerside on January 28th and reroly~ el to bave @ co-cperative packing and shipping house established at Summer- side, ready for operating by Sept ember next. Now, certain it is that there ie not sutlicient hogs as yet to supply one factory and supposing there was plenty for two, do you advise us farmers to invest in such an enterprise ? In rour Opinion, is the pork- packing today in the bands of a com-~ bine? About what ought we to be gutting for choice hogs at present? What has been the average price of Canadian bacon in the English market, say trom Septem~ ber? Whatthe American, during the sine period? Please reply next issue,”

A LETTER ON THE SUBJECT. To the Editor Farmer’s Advocate:

Sir,—In reply to enquiry of the 22ad inst., re the proposed Farmers’ Pork- packing House; I beg to state tuat 1 have heard of such industries beins siarted in towns in the Province of Ontario by farm- ers on the co-operative system. You ask, “Do you consider it advisable for farmers to launch intosuch an enterprise which costs 80 much to equip and requires such an expert staff to wanage and run.” In reply I-beg to staie that so far as my observation goes in regard to farmers’ co~

operative establishments, where large capital is required, l am led to believe

that it 1s not advisable for farmers to put their money into an enterprise of this kind for the following reasons:

Ist.—The amount of money required for buildings, plant, the running of the business and establishing agences in

| Britain would amount to a large sum.

2cd,—T hat in co-operative institution of this kin@ there are too many individuals to pleere, as each sharebolder has a voice in the matter, and farmers are not likely to sanction such large outlays of money ae would be necessary at times to meet competition thatido not always yielda proti.

3rd.—TI have not seen itshown by any person that the prfite of the business are uvreasonably high, or that any combine exists among the packers to keep the price of hogs down below proper values.

4th. —The history of co-operative insti-

tutions amongst the farmers of Ontario is.

such as to make prudent men careful

about investing their money in aa under- taking of thiskiad. Everything goes well while good profits are being realized, but there usually comes a time of keen compe- tition, that the limit of page invest- mentis overstepped, and perbaps, the market gives away at the same time. This is the time that every maa interested should stand firm and face the difficulty, but instead of that you have diseatisfac- tion, followed by desertion of the penurious

and weak-~kneed, who leave the better man to face the trouble.

Sth.lf euch an enterprise should meet’ with great success atthe start and divert a large portion of the trade from the regular packing houses, then these establishments would for a@ time pay the farmers five or ten cents per hundred pounds more for)

I think that the pork-packjng business of this country wpon the whole has been profiiable to those that engaged in it, and there may be reom for more establish- mests of the kiad, but I would not advise the farmers to put their money into them with the idea that they will make a for- tune gut of the business.

THE QUESTION OF PRICES.

GLEND INNING,

Tothe Editor Farmer’sAdvocate :

Dean Sia,—We are now paying $5 12}!

per hundredwight for selected singers de- livered at our factory. Your second en-

quiry, we judge, arises froma desire to |

compare the relative values of American and Canadian bacon in England. We fear, however. that this will be an almost impossible task. Enuglaud is peculiar. Nearly every countv uses a distinctive eut, and establishes a price of its own for that particular variety, Now, the Canadian curer makes what is known as a Wiltehire cide; practically; this represents his total ef- Ort in export meats, The American packer on the contrary, dees not make Woiltshire sides to any extent; his hogs do not lend themselves to this cut, and their meats go to an entirely different class of consumers anda different section of the country. Therefore, we lo not keep in close touch with the average price made for American product, inasmuch as it does not in any sense cOme 12 competition with Canadian. Yours truly, J W. Fravewue, Managing Director Wm. Davies Packing Co. Toronto, March 5th.

[Note.— Ase agevers] rule, the old adage, “Let the shoemaker stick to his Iset,” ig a good one, and the. business of farming is important and intricate enough to require the best energies of most men, but the suc- cees which has in the past attended cheese factories and creameries run on the co- Operative plan is ove exception to the rule though there is obviously a good deal of

difference between running a cheese factory avd a modern pork-paek ingesteblishment. At the same time

the Farmer’s advocate is anxious to pro-

mote any plan of handling ferm products caleulated to be of real and lasting benefit to the farmers. Hence the above subject is a good one, the discussion of which we welcome, and would be gladto hear from any one who bas actual facts to give of experience ia Co-Operative pork-packing among farmere, succes-fully or otherwiee, —Editor Farmer’s Advocate.

Co-Operative Pork Packing.

(From Farming )

A new co-operative farmers’ industry has eprung into existence during the past few months that is arousing considerable interest in some sections of the country. At Stouffville and Bowmanville co-opera- tive concerus will soon be in Operation fcr packing pork. These factories will be run on @ purely co-operative basis and will be owned ard operated by farmers in these districts. They are modelled somewhat after the co-operative eheese factories, the producer, or the man who supplies the |. og*, to share in the profits after the ex- penses of operating are deducted.

At Southville every person becoming a shareholder must be a hog producer to the company. Not being a hog producer will debar acy person from becoming a share-~ holder. Each shareholder must deliver at least five hogs for every share he becomes a holder of. Toroato prices will be paid for alithe hogs supplied. It is claimed that this will insure the producer one dollar per head more than he is getting

under the present system, as no iniddle,

man comes between the farmer and the manufacturer. All shareholders shall ve paid six per vent. on all the stock they hold a> first jien on profits, After this every every person will receive the full profita according to the number of hogs delivered by hin up to fifty hogs per snare. Any shareholder delivering more hogs than fifty per share, the hogs above that nume« ber will be considered as bought hogs from non-shareholders and profits on the same will be divided equally amongst share. holders, as per the number of shares held by each individnel. The profite on all hogs bought from non-sharebolders will also be equally divided amongst eharel ol- ders, as per the number of shares held by each individual, Each shareholder shall be entitled to deliver fifty hogs per share, on which ue will receive all profits earned by said hogs, lees the six per cent mention- ed above. No sharebolder will be allowed to bold more than $500 worth of stock.

The progress of this moyenent will doubtless be watched with the keenest in~ terest. The fact that the co-operative cheese and butter factory has been a suc- cess is no guarantee that the co~ operative pork packing establishment will be success- tul also. They are two different lines of business, the one involving comparatively little capital aod risk, while in the other a Jarge amount capital is necessary for buildings and plant,and the risk to be

incurred proportionately great. The co~ Operative cheese factory is almost co-extensive with the develops

tive principle is practicaily tue same, The | pork packing indu-try today is uuder the control of the large pork packing which have almost {unlimited capital at their disposal for car- rying on the business, With thee large |converns the co-operative pork packing } establishment will nave lo compete, and | we are sufe in stating that they will pot give up avy share of the business whieh has formerly beeo ti eirs without a struggl¢.

However, wewish this new yeuwe every success, and only draw attention to some of the difficulties, as it is well that lo our farmers thould consider every phase of the question befure investing very \largely in any new scheme. There is @ good precedent for the farmers’ «o-opei~ ativ? pork packing to be found in Denmark, In that country a large share of the bacon is produced in packing establish~ ments owned and controlled by the fartum ers, or the producers. As far as we can learn these have been successful. Whether the conditions there are such as would be more conducive to success than they are bere remains to be seen. The Danes are much nearer the market that we are, and may have other advantages that we know nothing about.
