But not Brebeuf and La1e- mant. gThey refused to flee, and were led back from St. Louis to _St. Ignace. beaten as they went and subjected to the most diabolical cruelty. Red-hot taxes were applied, boiling water, pitch and resin put over them, which they bore with sublime fortitude. Then. as fire was applied, they met their end after hours of torture. The remnant left at Ste. Marie burned their beloved fortress-home and sailed down the river and across the Bay to a new haven on what came to be known as] Christian Island.

' cu- .. -,_ Us A series, of forts was constructed following the arrival or Brebeuf \in 1634. and here the Hurons found shei ter, consolation and hospitality during the several years of peace. The ruins of the stone walls of Fort Ste. Marie. , built in 1639 by the banks of the Wye, i near Midland, may still be traced. but. in an unfortunate state of neglect. A little to the east the sites of" other torts have been located through the patient research for years or A. F. Hunter. and a cairn was erected in 1923.

It is not likely that the prices of grains will decline to what they were ine1923, but one can normally look for a recession in price `in 1925 because it is likely that "the grain and corn crops `of the world will return to normal. For these reasons packers believe the Canadian farmer is well advised to maintain his production of hogs. ` But. w;itl: this, improvement in quality is v ta . - ` (From the Industrial and Development Council of Canadian Meat Packers.) _._- v-- --\' v-- war war " Lzvn & Phone or Box 542, Barrie u1uu.|.u_ ,I._ne future. . V _ v Undoubtedly the biggest single factor in the price of hog.pr_oducts on the world s markets is production. in the Un ted States. The hog population in the nited States on~January 1. 1921. is given as 56,097,000, in 192g as 68'.- 427.000, and in 1924 as 65,501, 00. The -pig survey of June 1924 indicated that there would be a decrease of about 8.- 000.000. The United States has an immense consuming. population` but. of course, like every other country, endeavors to export her surplus, which in 1923 amounted to 1,794,000,000 lbs. of pork` products. The comparatively high price of grains this year caused the American farmer to put his hogs on the market during the last few weeks in unprecedented`: numbers. the receipts on the Chicago market for Monday. December 15, being about {122,000 hogs. The first two weeks of `December saw the biggest deliveries of hogs in- the history of the United States. Too big a percentage of these hogs are light and unfinished. which means the farmer is liquidating his hogs. The effect is to decrease the total ,pounds of.pork produced. Dur- ing the first nine months of this year 372,000 more hogs were marketed in the.United States, but about 114,000,000 less pounds of pork `was produced than in the same period last `year. Un- doubtedly these conditions will have a big effect on the number of sows that will be bred this fall for next year's market. Denmark and Ireland are also feeling the pressure of comparatively high priced feeds. This situation is of immense inter- est and importance to Canadian farm- ers _and packers. After carefully re- viewing the whole situation Canadian packers feel that next year is going to be a "hog year. That is, they believe if producers will improve the ;quality and furnish to the packing- houses their normal quota of hogs, properly managed hog production will [be profitable to farmers. If farmers J 5 5 and packers pull together they should be able to make another considerable step in establishing our Canadian bac- on on the British market. 143.81`. VAR!` Rh! vnvvu lnuy vudn.-..~.

Last year saw very low prices for grain and big hog productions; this year a sudden jump in grain prices with consequent prospective reduction" in breeding operations in the United States; high cost\of production in countries like Ireland and Denmark. that have to import a considerable proportion of their. feeds; and a slack- ening of breeding in Western Canada. Packers strongly believe that this sit- uation is one which should induce hog producers in Canada to breed their full number of sows and that an increase In production is perhaps a safer policy than it was last year when everybody was feeding cheap grains. Probably sows kept as breeders never were better property. `It is not lilznlu nun +1.- ....:....... ..e 'i\ + ` "J |'lAIA:IIJl1llllll 17:1 lllXl.lll'1 "no A F.
