THE EXPORT BAGON TRADE.

A few years ago Canadian bacon was

almost unknown in the British market, while today it is looked upon with con- siderable favor by the English consum-_ er, and is steadily leading the American product in that market. This Should be very encouraging to those who are engaged in promoting this important industry. During the past few months, however, the markets have been some- what depressed through increased oierings of Danish and Irish bacon. which has caused many hog producers in the country to be somewhat appre- hensive as to whether the bacon trade is one that can be depended upon as a money- maker for the farmer. Such drawbacks, however, some at times in the development of every trade where there is keen competition. Those fami- liar with the development of the cheese- trade will remember that it passed through several series of depressions of this kind before it reached the im- portant place ft holds today. Had our dairymen ten or twenty years ago re- laxed their efforts to establish the trade on good footing whenever theie. was a depression in prices, Cauada’s export cheese trade would never have ~ been what it is at present. If :hs same per-_ severance and determination is applied to the development of the export bacon trade as was applied to the cheese trade there is no reason why the formerl shou'd not bring into this country.with- in a very few years, fifteen or twenty millions of dollars annually. What is wanted is ihat everyone inierest'ed,from§ the producer to the packer, should putt forth every effort to turn out the quality of bacon that the market de- mands.

For the year ending December 31,

1898. England imported from Canada bacon to the value`of $5.000,000,which _ isa gain of nearly 100 per cent. as com~i pared with the year previous. This’ amount, however, is only about one- tenth of ine total amou-:t imported by 1 Great Britain. Last year the Mother;

Country imported over $50,000,000; worth of bacon and, what is surprising. .

these imports increase each year at a marvellous rate. The increase in the

1 imports of bacon by Great Britain dur-

ing 1898 was $7,500,000 more than in 1897. With this large and rapidly- gro .ring market for our bacon is there any good reason for doubting that with-

'inavery few years our export bacon ‘trade will be very larvel increased ?

Even at present prices Tory bacon hogs there should be money for the farmerin producing hogs if he understood how to breed _and feed to the best advantage. Prices for bacon fluctuate the same as for any other commodity, but if the yearly average is taken into account values for thi; product are comparatively speaking as high as for any other
