Pig raising is perhaps a rather speculative industry because the output is capable of such rapid development. The annual natural increase of cows and sheep is limited to 100 per cent., while that of pigs may under favourable circumstances be ten times as great, so that a market may soon be over-sup-plied. As against that, however, it is just as easy to check the increase if supplies are found to be exceeding demand. But NeAV Zealand conditions are so favourable for pork production that it should be able to find, and hold against any competition, a market for ten times the quantity at present being exported.—“Taranaki Herald.”
