Sir,—I was very inch pleased when I saw it intimated last fall that the Govern- ment, through Prof. Robertson and Mr. | Dillon, was about to start co-operative pork-packing factories on the Island. _ J hear nothing now about this matter. Surely so laudable an undertaking hes not been dropped. The pork industry of our Province 1s certainly of equal moment with our dairy industry. Pork is,-or has been, at leas‘, the great cash product with which our Island farmers’ meet their money obligations. The hog is a>neces- sary adjunct to the dairy.:The more dairy produce tle more hogs~and: bacon: This is exemplitied by that. banner dairy country, Denmark, _ which supplies the English market with bacon she consumes, I give an extract from an English paper, which should be considered and digested by every farmerin P. E. Island. There is no logical reason why there should not be a slaughter house annex to eyery cheese factory in this Province, and one big central packing house. in Charlotte- town that would purchase for slaughter and immediate shipment in a “chilled” nearly all the state not only hogs, but sheep and cattle. Let not the dressed meat trade be confia- ed to Montreal. Our P. E. Island cheese has already made a name for _ itself. Let a paternal Government stop here. Every farmer cannot take. advantage of the benefits accruing from the Govern - ment’s dairy policy. Let P. KE. : Island make a name for “P. E. I. bacon,” *P. E. I. dressed mutton,” “P. E. 1. dressed beef,” ete. Never before had the farmers of P. E. Island a better opportunity of getting the “dressed meat” trade started in motion on the Island. We have, what we did not have for a good many years, a | representative in the Dominior Cabinet in the person of a farmer and an able -man, Hon, Senator Ferguson, who knows fall well the advantage that would obtain to P. E. Island farmers by having pork pack- ing establishments and dressed meat de- pots and regular shipments of dressed mutton, dressed beef, cured hams and ba con to the English markets. Farmers of P.E. I-land look to your interests and don’t let this matter drop after reading this Jetterof mine. You want this new industry started as well as Ido. You can write rhort letters on the subject to the I-Jand press or to your representatives at Ottawa. As aclincher to this letter I am writing a note to Senator Ferguson on this very subject. Why can’t you do likewise. I sin agitating this matter entirely in wy own interest, and my interest is yours, I want to get more than 4c. for my pork— that is what I got for a load of hogs last November. I want lambs and I want a better market than St. Pierre for the cow or wwo [ sell anau- ally. Then, ho! for dressed meat and the English market. J.A.M. Kings Co., P. E. I. Mow The Danish Dairymen Manage The!r Hogs, a market for m? [Extract from London Grocer, of recent issue. ] BACON OURING IN- DENMARK The system adopted in curing and marketing of Danish bacon is thus des- cribed by a correapondent : “The farmers of a cerlain district form, among themselves, a guarantee fund of, say £4,000, each putting dewn his name for the sum he is prepared-to risk, and, on the strength of this guarantee, the bank | advances them £4,000, or such other sum as may be required, for the consuruction of a bacon-curing factory for the district in question. The bank also advances a fuither £500 for the payment of the pre- liminary working expenses. The factory is then Constructed, replete with all the latest meihods in machinery, ete, and inclusive of large étorage for the ice which forms so important an-item in the work. In some instances a factory will have room | for 50,000 tons of ice, whieh gathered- in during the winter at the cost only of the requisite labor, and is so stored that it Jasts until the next winter. The factory is put in charge of aspecial staft and the farmers devote their own energies solely to pig rising, for which purpose they have an excellent stock of animals, while swine fever seems to be practically unknown. The farmers sell their pigs to the factory at full market rates, being “paid at’ first out of the £500 already referred to. At the factory the pigs are killed and turned into either bacon or ‘mess pork’ for ships, and these products are in due course sent to London, where they are sold, and the London agents send to Denmark @ cheque for the amoant due. The bank through which the whole thing is worked, deducts its.._ charges, which may come to 8 per cént, and-the remainder stands to the credit of the fac- tory for the paymeat of expenses and for eventual division among the farmers, in addition to the market rates they “have already been paid for their pigs. -There are now about twenty of these factories in Denmark, and, generally. speaking, they have been established without any actual call being made on the guaranty’ fands. Altogether, these factories will sometimes | deal with 10,600 piga in one week, and the total outpat has now attained such proportions that our imports of bacou from Denmark alone amounted last year | to 1,600,000 ewts.” Below is extract from letter received from Liverpool, Eng., under date of Feb, 11, "86, by one of the leading pork-packing firms in Milwaukee, which they have | kindly consented fo allow us to print : “I went to Denmark last week to see Low things stood there, so as to give you all the information possible. Each town has its own slaughtering house. The farmer’s form a company, putting In @ manager, who fixes the prices of the hogs each week accord ng to the account of sales returned for the product. They are class- ed into No. 1, 2, and. 3, and the price is paid for the hogs accordingly, so that each farmer knowe whet weight his hogs have to be so as to give him the best returns. You would be surprised to see how evenly in weight and quality the hogs run. Om ST PAUL’s BELLS, Sir,-Iam inclined to think Mr. B.

The latest returns of railroad earnings leave no room for question as to the im- proving condition of their finances and the growing activity of general business in the country at large. © ' The exports from Sheffield to the Unit- ed States for the first three months of the present year amount to £166,444, as com- pared with £112,602 for the same period of the previous year. A despatch from Boucharest to the Times says: “The papers here announce the conclusion of a military convention between Russiaatd Bulgaria, under which in the event of war, Bulgaria would cede to Russia, Marna, in the Black Sea; and Burghbas, in Fasteru Roumania, and also or the Black Sea, and would concentrate an army at Shumla.” The preceut Pope’s advice to Father Zoechi, a famous Italiau preacher, is worth reproduciog: “Write articles for the newspapers. People read tham wio never go to heara sermon preached.” There is not a newspaper in any of our countries that would not be glad to receive a short and sensible article from “famous American preachers,” or even frum those who are not famous.*} § .

The high rajes charged for Pullman berths have long been a cause of com plaint among railroad travellers. It looks, for the moment at any rate, as if there might be a permanent reduction before long. The Chicago Great Western Rail- road has decided to acceptsecuntt class tickets from Pullman travellere, which will make the rate for a Pullman not greater, if at all, in excess of the ordinary first class fare. _What.the Great Western can do other roads will be likely to think they can do also, and, to meet the situa- tien, the Pullman Company may have to reduce its rates. If current reports alout its profits are correct it can afford to do this. ‘President Diaz, in opening the Mexican eCongress, declared his adhesion to the "principles of the Monroe Doctrine in con- demning as aggressive any invasion, by monarchical Europe, of the republics of America.
