THE BACON SEASON. , d’

This is the bacon season, the season in which our bacon and our bacon reputation are in the unalt- ing. Our hogs are being prepared for market and on the manner of that preparation depends the fut- ufe bacon market. I

The packers are insisting upon ‘hogs being "finished" before being slaughtered. The reason they give "is that good bacon and good ‘hams cannot be made from under- fed or overfed hogs. and the reason will appeal to everyone. The bacon market at home and abroad is look- ing for the best quality and is pre- pared to psy the price for it, and ‘refuses to take poor qualiuvutany price. The conclusion is able; our hogs must he properly ‘finished if we are to imake our ho; business as profitable as it can be.

Canadian bacon is becoming pop- ular in the ‘English market wlieie it enters into competition Wll/l the world-renowned bacon of Denmark and Poland. competition is due to the great cure exercised by the Canadian packers, and the insistence upon the proper finishing of hogs before being mar- keted. it is to the interest 0t‘ out farmers to cooperate with the packers in this respect. The pack- ens do not want. unfinished hogs; the farmer wants to get the boar. possible price for his hogs. lliore- over, be wants to get the bee". pos- sl-ble price next year. This can be done only by supplying hogs that will make the heat bacon and build up a. provincial reputation.

There is no province in Canada which can as completely guard its products as Prince Edward island. The province Ls teompuct ililll iso- lsted. There is but one main ilonr through which raw material can come or the finished product go [There is no possibility of mixing writh the products of any other country. We have the situation in our own hands, we can make or mar our reputation and that repu- tation can ‘make or break us.

Individual responsibility for tho preparation of our market products is necessary. Every man doing his best, selling nothing that is not fully up to standard, will give us the kind of reputation that will make an increasing demand for our products and i-nsure ‘for us the best prices the world's beet markets are willing to pay. We have a unique opportunity for making this repu- tation for ourselves, and if we lu- dividually assume _the responsibil- ity. the Prince iEtlward island trade mark will give us an entry into the world's best markets.

-—-—-'<o¢---- OUR WASTES.

-lt has long been claimed by econ- omists that we waste -more than wc actually imake good use of. This is probably true of the country as a whole; it is probably true also of the individual-barring only the mlser who hoards up all and uses barely enough to keep body and soul together. The individual who compares his expenditure for actu- oi necessities and actually neces- sary luxuries, with his outlay for the unnecesaaries and the useless, will generally find that his income, big or little, would provide a much more comfortable balance at tho end of the year than it does.

The wastes in our public life, the expenditures which are authorized by wrernments and which have to be mode good by the taxpayer, are enormous and generally un- justifiable. Since the war we have been talking In millions and fbilli- ons. The public debt of Canada. in: example. n now O2,8l6,000,000. Our politicians during election cam-

fer from one account to another. The taxpayer finds that with, all

creased or, if they are reduced on one iitein they are increased on another. The total tax burden is steadily increasing, whether it be in increased cost of living or in in- creased direct taxation.

In the past several years enorm- ous expenditures have been made on IRoyal Commissions, on public works to help some government candidate to secure his election,on Jobs for deserving supporters-all of them a. waste of the people's money. Look at the ‘untold milli- ons to he thrown away on the Hud- son ‘Bay folly, simply to-secure the support of some western provinces. Much has already been expended on this folly, as it is now commonly called. By the time the road is completed, the terminals built. :1 harbor or/harbors dredged and lights adjusted, this project will have swallowed up a hundred or more millions and neither the wes- tern provinces nor any other part of Canada will ever reap a dollar's worth of benefit for it.

We do nut know where meteors come from. but we can in some cases dig them up and find out what is inside of them which is mostly iron orstonc. with other metals. They exist iu countless numbers, the smaller ‘ones to the estimated number of 100,000,000 being burned up yearly by friction as\in their swift flight they pass through our atmosphere. Meteors oi‘ many bone weight have in time past fallen on the earth. Sometimes they have ex- ploded before striking. One of this sort detonated at a height ofabout 75 miles o\'er the city of Blooming- lOll, Illinois, in December, 1876. The explosion was so tremendous as to shake the city like an earth- quake. Frngments of the meteor foamed n cluster oliilre-bulls five miles wide and forty titiles long. The main portion of the meteor, with a rumbling roar like thunder. passed on cast over the Atlantic seaboard. in February, 1896, a re~ murkable meteor exploded over the city of Madrid. Though it appear-

must be built, n new high rate o.’ insurance on ships and cargo musti be established and the chances of‘ the route ever being adopted arc! exceedingly slim.

I lt is further stated in the press report that on November 26 "a full car of Ontario eggs were shipped into Halifax, two firms there tak- ing up two hundred cases each."
