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
i ing short, and notes falling due. How is __(SPecia1)__The Govemment has strmng deapenwly to preserve neumw
it and ntl si b th al
large discounts.
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.
