FARMERS' COLUMN.

DANISH BACON FACTORIES.

It is not only in her improved butter producing methods that Denmark excels, says an Australian exchange, but also in the attention given to working up the by products. There is no waste of skim or buttermilk. AH that and similar material is worked up in the pig-raising business. The great bulk of the pork and bacon ex ported to England from Denmark is cured by the co-operative curing houses. Enormous quantities of cheap Black Sea barley have been imported into Denmark during the la9r few ypart, u»ed principally for fodder, aud greatly stimulating the raising of pig* for market. Co-operative cminj? houses for pork, established about 1888, have been greatly increased in number. At the end of last ye-tr... there were 18 establishments in different parts of the country, the largest of which slaughtered 40,000 pigs » year* 0 he principal 1 "advantage of the co-operative system,: doing aw*y with the middlemen, applies vrelL to these establishments. Knch shareholder, without regard to th« number of pigs tnrned off, has but one vote in the management of the business. All farmers who raise pigs in a given district of, say, 10 to 20 miles circumference, unite and raise the meney necessary, for the plant and starting of th« curing house by signing con tracts. ~ These make them responsible for the payment of a certain sum answering to about lls for each pip furnished for market in,g» , Vf ry of t«Q »ll the interested farmers in one parish act as » whole. The contracts are deposited in the bank as security for the loan used in building the plant, the farmers putting up little or no cash. Pcovisioii is usually made that the loan shall be paid off in the course of 10 yaars, after which period, the curing 'house is owned by the share holders in proportion to the number of pigs famished. The participants further bind themßel.v.eMoLjdeU'rer all the pigs they raise to the curing house. This obligation is strictly enforced, and severe fines collected, when animals are sold elsewhere. Settle ment is made according to dressed weight, the pigs being divided into three classes when slaughtered. Payment; ia generally made wifchiu «ighfc days after delivery, with a small deduction set aside to form a reserve fund. In seme, instances three-fourths the value of the pigs is advanced on delivery. At every curing house there is a shop for the sale of Sausages, fat, etc. ; these as a rule paying excellently and yielding an important •art of the profits.

THE MEAT-MARKING BILL.

Mr Mildmay's Agricultural Produce Bill (iay« the London correspondent of the iV.Z. Times) meets with a vast amount of wholesome criticism, and the tacts and opinions drawn out by the übiquitous pressman from persons interested in th? meat and cheese trades may very possibly help to make this ludicrous measure's coffin. 1 hive already stated my opinion that so far from benefiting the British producers, it is more likely to help their colonial competitors. This view is •hared by many competent judges and is set forth in the. course of an article in the Daily Nrtus,t\\o result of a trip round Smithfield by one of the staff. I venture to quote a, portion : — Of course it is done to help the British farmer, and the measure proposed might hare some effect this way if it could show that between the home-fed and the foreign there is a difference in quality at least commensurate with the difference ia price. Instead of doing this, what it will be far more likely to make clear is the fact that while there is a very large difference in price there is often practically no difference at all in quality. '* I have had the foreign meat at my table for years," said a family man, who has been for many years connected with Smithfield, " and though I think that sometimes it is not quite so nice cold, that doesn't much matter. When we sit down to a leg of mutton there ib not much left to get cold. I have always found it just as good as English." Now, of course that may be sadly wanting in patriotism, but what Mr Mildmay'a Markl Bill will be certain to do, if it does anything at all, will be to enable people to d.acinguish unmistakably between the two classes of me it, and if it really is true that they are so nearly alike, to tempt them to just this unpatriotic preference for 4&d a pound instead of 9d or lOd. It may show a great many people tlat they have really been eating foreign meat 'without being poisoned, and the discovery may incline them to continue to do so at a great reduc tion in price, and their example will be sure to be followed by others. The chances are that the new trove may tend rather to boom colonial and American meat, lc will tend to promote Us consumption, and for a short time may nob improbably somewhat enhance its price, aud possibly bring down the market value of the home-fed article. But if the demand increases, of course supplier will increase too, and prices will tend down again, and home-fed meat will have to follow, and perhaps very rapidly when the distinction is clear and the matter is better understood. This is how it seems likely the Britiah farmer is going to be helped. Ao to cheese, the marking eeem? q'tUe ridiculously useless and unnecessary, and merchants and dealt rs appear to regard it an quite uolikely to affect them in any way. "If a person buys a cheese," said one, "he wcn'fe bother about marks ; be will have the t-ABter stuck into it. and will eat a ?>ib of it. If he likes the flavour of ib you don't suppose he'll refuse to take it because it was made in Canada or New Zealand."

THE MEAGHER CASE

Sydney, June 1 Meagher, in showing cause why he should not be disrobed, took up the , position that he could not violate the ' confidence of a client. The full Court struck Meagber off the rolls, The Chief Justice pointed out that he had not taken his partner into bis confi dence. Had he done so, it was probable the firm would have remained quiescent in the matter of agitating for Dean's release and left it to the public. As a matter of fact Meagher made a deliberate misstatement to his partner, by affirming Dean's innocence. Looking for a motive, the Judge said he could not assume for one moment that Meagher had sympathised with the criminal, but he thought he wa3 prompted by a feeling of self-glorifica tion.

A CLEAN OUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION,BOLDLY EXPRESSED

• . — ?< — -— Ib is for this reason that an assertion like the following sticks up above the dead level of our stupid talk, and becomes noticeable : • When I saw how pale I had grown, I said to myself, it was because something had gone out of my blood.' There ! that is a statement with the seeds of an idea iu it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the rest of the letter which contains it. In December, 1890, says the writer, • I fell into a poor state of health. I was tired, languid, and weary without any apparent cause. My appetite left me, and all food, ever the lightest and simplest kinds, caused me great pain in the cheat and stomach. When I saw how pals I had grown I said to myself it was because something had gone out of my blood. ' Then my sleep was broken, and night after night I scarcely closed my eyes. It wasn't long before I became so weak and dejected that I took no interest in things around me. I wasso nervous that common sounds annoyed and worried me ; even the' noises Trade by my own children in their ialk and at their play. •There was a disgußting taste in my mouth; it made me sick, and often gave me a shiver ing sensation all over. When I saw others eating and enjoying their meals I felb as though it were a strange thing ; in a way I wondered how they could do it. For myself I could eat hardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it, as one turns away from smells or sights that are offensive. And yet I koew, what everyone knows that without sufficient food the body Unguißhe3 and weakens. Aud such was the c »se with me as month after month went by. 1 During all this time, so full of pain and discouragement. I was attended by a doctor who did what he could to relieve me, bat without success. I do not say he did not understand my complaint ; for mav he nob have understood it without having the means of curing it. The answer to the lady's question is : Yes easily enough. All intelligent, studious doctors • understand ' consumption, cholera cancer, etc., without (as yet) having the means of curing them. There is usually a wide gap between the discovery of a want and the way to supply it. • I will now,' continues the letter * toll you how I came to be cured. In April 1891 I read in u small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrttp. The book said the Syrup was a certain remedy for all diseases of the stomach, indigestion in every form, and dyspepsia ; and it also said that most of the complaints we suffer from are caused by that. On looking over the symptoms des onbed in the book, and comparing them with, my own, I saw plainly that my ailmeat was dyspepsia, 'We sent immediately for a bottle of this medicine, aad after taking it a few days I began to feel better. In a very short time, by keeping on with the Syrup according to the directions, I could eat without pain or distress, and digest my food. I also slept soundly and naturally. Then my strength came back and with it the color to my face, [n short, after a few weeks use of Mother Seigel'B Syrup, I was hearty and strong as ever. And 1 should be indeed ungrateful if I were not willing that others Hhould have the benefit of my experience. You an& therefore free to print my letter if you thir a ]s it will be useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Traian Marfcon, Lincoln, April 24, 1895.' ' I simply desire to say to Mrs Trurp.n that her idea aboub the blood is a perfectly correct one. All our fcod (the digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and in that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gets thm and poor (lacking in nourishment) ,T we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the cause of the blood getting thin and poor ia indigestion, or dyspepsia. How easy this is to understand when once you get hold of the right end ot it. Mother Seigel's Syrup has the peculiar power to correot what is wrong about the digestion, and thus enables the di« geative machinery to make good rich blood,, Which ia life and health ana beauty.

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure THE few' cases of Typhoid in Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable . precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to in the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century n of last year, in which spfecial reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid.. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics in Russia swept away nearly all the children in some villages ; and in Prussia, no kss than one-sixth to <- one-fourth part of all children dying in the age of from one to five j ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed in Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken in the experiments of the French Doctors, Boox and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by : special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable in the direction of perfect sanitary arrangementßi By its use, a two-ibld benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the waeh to pig trough or to the garden. The, Portable Barrows oan be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively email. Possession ot one becomes an^absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit.
