Red Oak AcOrns for Hogs,

Look out for the red oak acorns
If you have red oak trees in your
hog lots, be sure and put your hogs
in pens SO that they can not get the
acorns when they fall. After they
have lain on the ground few weeks
they are not so injurious, but when
they first begin to fall they will kill
your hogs il many are eaten. Some
times hogs Will not eat these acorns
at all until after a hard freeze has
sweetened ttem. At other times
they will eat them greedily as soon
as they fall.
For several years past we have
used hog lot containing few red
oak trees. In &c and '67 the acorns
lay untouched until December. In
1868, our hogs, although well fed on
new corn, devoured the acorns as
fast as they fell, and consequently,
grew poorer and thinner every day.
The hair which was originally white
assumed a reddish tinge, and we have
no doubt that bad they had access to
the acorns week, none of them would
have recovered. We put them ia
another lot, gave them plenty of ash
es and charcoal, and in a few weeks
we got the red oak out of them and
they began to thrive. We shall not
risk them with the acorns again
