Why Hoes EAT AsHEs.-Mr. Me-
chi, of Tip-tree Hall, England, has dis
coyered that pigs, when shut up to fatten,
are fond of cinders, and improve 10 con-
dition by eating certain portion Of them
every day. Some persons are unable to
account for h s singular propensity in
swine. Poultry are very fond of egg
shells, lime, sand. &C., a n d it is we'll
known the Substances are necessary in
order to form the shells of eggs, and to
furnish material for the bones of fowls.
Now it is reasonable to suppose that
swine eat ashes and cinders for the pur-
pose OF supplying material for their bones,
and this singular instinct in animals so
low in the scale of intelligence, is truly
wonderful, for ashes contain the ingredi-
ents which are necessary to form bones,
viz clay, SILICA gelatinized and made
soluble by the fire. When hogs are at
large, they take in clay and SILICA with
their food, and eat bones and roots which
contain b necessary ingredients but
when they are pent up they endeavor to
supply the material necessary for keep
ing up their frames by devouring ashes
and.cinders. Let them have plenty of
them.-.Sock Journal
