Most any farmer will say, "Go to
grass with your information about hogs
'aint | raised them these forty years :"
Oh! well, friend, don't be offended if
we offer few suggestions.
In the first place, am satisfied that
you cannot make pork to any prc@ by al
lowing your hogs to run at large, and
trouble ysur neighbors. A hog is
unique in character he will sleep him
self into fat. His stye should be kept
clean and dry. He should have yard
for recreation, and root his snOut into
fresh earth. lie never feels satisfied
until he can spend a portion of his time
in plowing. His winter bed should be
dry and warm as that Of his owner, and
a halt-frozen hog will not thrive, and
will require much more food to keep
UP the summer heat In summer give
him a faithful washing once in twenty
days. The growth will richly repay
the labor expended. Who but Hoten-
tots could eat tho rind of pork with a
relish, if he knew it had been coated
with filth for twenty months Neat
herds require frequent feelings to
prevent waste, A hog should not be
stinted in his food, / never knew a
hog to sqaeaI into fat
The best pork | ever saw was fatted
enterely on new milk, The taste of a
hog is found to have an affinity to that
of man. He likes to have his proyis-
ions cooked and those who make out
the hog so vile and filthy, have seen
them so from the force Of circumstances
---it is not from their own choosing, it
was the owners fault, Many are cry
ing down pork as not fit TO eat, yet |
for one think it just as healthy as forty
years ago, and if properly cooked |
will run my risk of trichinH spirais.
Mutton is the food, says one, and beef,
says another: but they know but little
about what the human constitution re-
quires. One can eat swino's flesh and
be hale and hearty, while another, with
a differently constituted organism, feels
oppressed after eating and mutton il
relished by one, and so onward, in the
same style. II will not do to fix any
standard or follow any mans advice
II you do, it will be at your own risk

they were fired into and some of them
