While all other domestic animals are
regularly supplied with salt, the hog is
generally neglected. He requires. how

OK, the hose. or the sheep, and suffers
as much from privation as either OF the

almost invariably given to him in

fact we may doubtless attribute many OF
the violent and fatal diseases to which he
