Charcoal for Hogs,

Prevention is better than cure. 1t is far
better to supply animals with what their
systems need, than to have them become
sick for the want of it. Some persons new
er think of giving salt to hogs, when they
need it Just as much ifnot more than cat
tie, sheep or horses. They will not thrive
we'll without it. But charcoal is also very
desirable for hogs. We are reminded of
this as we sit at the depot waiting for
railroad train. All along the railroad
track, are hogs eating the coal that has
dropped from the furnace of the locomo-
tive. They eat the coal as they wouk's
corn. Have farmers never seen their ho4
eat the coal in the ashes they threw out Z,
For many years we have made practice
of burning charcoal for our hogs-not a
large pit, but enough for the hogs for a
year. This is fed to them occasionally,
and they go for it like children for candy.
Our hogs are always healthy. They have
had no hog cholera or other diseases. They
have pure water, salt twice week, charcoal
thrown to them once week, and they
thrive and keep in good order all the while.
If farmers would pursue similar course
with their hogs, we are sure that we should
hear less about deaths from hog cholera.
