Allow me to say that the ciisf fertilizers

Cleanliness Important for Pigs.

Pigs do not love dirt, as many believe
they become dirty because they are thrast
in.o 1t, a, or cannot obtain water with
out it. The following experiment, per-
formed in England, tells story worthy the
attention Of all pork raisers:
gent enan in Norfolk put up six pigs
Of a most exactly eqlal health, to falten;
treated them, with one exception, all ex-
rctly tie same, and fed them similar food,
given in equal quantities to each, for seren
weeks. Three Of these pigs were left to
shit Tor themselves so far cleanliness went,
and the other three sere carefully curried
brushed and washed. These latter con-
sun.ed in the seven weeks less food by FIVE
bush Is than the other three. and yet, when
killed, weighed more by TWO stones on tie
average.

So soon os smoked eneugh, wrap each
