AMERICA'S PIG MARKET.
BOOMING. It is a somewhat booming market for pedigreed pigs in America just now. Pork has been at prices which curtail consumption. Tho public has a right to rebel when a rasher of bacon reaches a prohibitive price, says the "Breeders' Gazette." There is room for material expansion in pig breeding, but, as usual, the country seems rushing headlong toward another era of overproduction. The American farmer seems to seek either a feast or a famine. Neither is conducive to tho best digestion. So intent is tho farmer in his chase after swino that he is putting tho cattle situation on his blind side. That eye will be opened presently, but the operation will have cost him money that could havo been easily made.
South Canterbury farmers arc still longing for rain. An endeavour to revive cow-testing is being made in-New South Wales.
