GROWING PORK.
# -In connection with the .revival of interest in pig-feeding :arid pig-breeding (writes our Wairorapa ' correspondent),' it is interesting to note'the opinions expressed by Mr. J. A. Kin'sella, late Chief Dairy Commissioner, shortly' after his return' from a tour of Europe, Africa, and the Argentiuo. Mr. Kinsella found that Irish bacon was the finest exported into England. The Irish farmers, like, tho Canadians, fed their pigs on skimmed milk aiid whey from the factories, the whey being sterilised. Tho pigs were also fattened on green, stuff, such as clover and lucerne, and then topped off with com or pea meal, with a view to producing 'firmness in the 'flesh. The- Irish people, said Mr. Kinsella, believed in • first building up a big frame with such' food as skimmed milk and green: fodder, and afterwards topping off with: solids such'as comnieal, 'cracl;ed: peas, and provender.
