peterboro this week oct 13th to 10th a good piece of land was selected a few miles south of the city on the high way running towards port hope as the location was central for several counties the usual local events were thrown open to residents of peter horo durham victoria and north umberland the last three days of the competition are open to the world this event never fails to draw a great throng of farmers and the present year is no exception injurious to wire fence many times the advice is given in the fall of the year to burn out the fence rows to get rid of harmful weeds and insects this no doubt is a good policy from those stand points but it should be kept in mind that it is distinctly harmful to any type of wire fence zinc melts at a comparatively low temperature and tho heat from burning grass on weeds is often sufficient to scorch the protective coating and will pro bably shorten by several seasons the useful life of the fence tho hojr market a review of the hog market situa tion states that there is no justifica tion for the practice which has been all too general this season of trying to beat the market by selling off lightweight unfinished hogs to gain a few cents per pound at current prices the principal effect of such practices has been to demoralize the market and force prices much below what they otherwise might he with canadian hog prices drastically real igned both to suit domestic condi tions and export market prices the common sence practice at present is to finish hogs up to tho proper weight around 200 pounds this is ono effective way in which to develop a steady hog market to re gularize marketings and at tho same time to improve quality weekly crop report crop conditions throughout on tario continue ver satisfactory as far as yield is concerned excellent crops of potatoes roots and corn both for ensilage and grain are be ing harvested sugar beets havo been moving to market in good con dition and tobacco growers were favoured

13000 bbls on thanksgiving day the writer had the privilege of visiting the apple orchard on the slulock estate just north of aurora and if the gar den of eden presented any finer sight we cant understand why any one should go astray in such sur roundings this mulock orchard surpasses anything we havo seen in the beloved land of evangeline it is estimated by w p mulock who is the directing head ot the apple busi ness that upwards of 13000 barrels of luscious fruit will be harvested this fall 70 of which will he spy apples on arrival at the farm we first visited the packing plant consisting of a large shed where the apples are brought in barrels from the orchard and dumped into a polishing mach ine then the fruit is passed over a series of rollers with felt or- other covering which leaves the apples highly polished without the human hand touching them then the ap ples pass along to the grader where several dozen men are engaged watching for the slightest blemish if he finds such fruit it is cast aside ami the perfect article permitted to move over the purveyor until it comes to the grade to which it be longs when they automatically drop down gently into the barrels that await them sir slulock also show ed us the new huge packing room cooled to a desireable temperature all tho time this building is most ly cement and will take care of the fruit all winter if required one can only stand in perfect amazement before the heavily laden trees carrying from four to six and more barrels of spies of tremendous size all of which are mostly high rade fruit here some fifty pickers were engaged and mr mulock said many more would he required as the apples were not coming in fast enough to keep the packers at full capacity an export business was done with the early apples hut just now the home market is consuming tho out put of the orchard the quality of the fruit in this orchard we are safe in saying could not he surpassed anywhere in can ada and the crop is so bountiful that one could not see where another apple could he fastened to the bran ches not only size and good color featured the spies hut experts de clare that the flavor of this sprayed fruit is much above the average this now industry now sprung up in north york will be of great bene fit to the unemployed in newmarket and aurora district during this fall season the rate of pay is more than
