THE FARMERS AND THE
PACKING COMPANY-
of Feb. Sid, of the Institute Meeting of Lots ifi and 28, in which Mr. Wiley refers to the trouble between the farmers and the Packing Company. He accounts for the cutting in weight, and prices cy soft and fish-fed hogs. If Mr Wiley i-an ieil a soft or fish-fed hog, from a well fed hog, `he may out weights and prices to his heart’s content. What we object to is, having the whole Island placed on the soft and fish-fed list. There must have been a great deluge of soft hogs, which re- quired a drop of a cent and a quarter from Montreal prices,iust when feed was runn-
,it, that the discount season has been allowed to pass without offering the use- less, soft fishy stuff for sale at the usual

The remedy suggested hy Mr. Wiley,
that the Government appoint a weipher and inspector in Charlottetown would not improve matters. The dealings of the Government with the Packing Com- pany have not been such ss to inspire public confidence in their inspector. The question of weighing is easily settled. The City has scales on the Market Square. Let the Company take their weight, like all others. If required, let another be erected at thefactory.Then let the owners
With reference to the scale of weights: Let all well finished hogs, from 150 to 400 pounds be the same price. Under that weight will all sell for family use, at fair value. Over 400 pounds, being old sows and stage, will be rated at market value. As matters nowlstand, no farmer can tell what price he will receive, when he brings his hogs to the factory. By such arbitrary rules as the factory may make, s few pounds over or under, _may take from a quarter cent, to one cent per pound.
lt is high time, that a stop was put to
such sharp practice.As a remeriy,I do not
all practical purposes. The' Island is well covered by cheese and butter facmriss; witha board of directors and secretary in each. A list of all hogs_'for sale can be sent to the secretaryfof each factory. All the companies can correspond through their secretaries and directors fix prices, and make rules. The inspection and extra w0rk for officers of each company, should of course be paid by owners of hogs, but need not be heavy; and they can well afford to pay.
