Hogs Need Snlnhnr.

One singular fact stated in the following
paragraph taken from the Louisiana Home
Journal, has been recently corroborated
within the experience OF the writer:
Whether hogs require sulphur as an es-
sential to health, or whether it is sought
as condiment cannot be determined,
One thing is certain they devour it with
greed wherever il is found. 1t is for this
purpose probably that they will eat large
quantities Of soft coal, which contains a
large amount of sulphur. Perhaps this is
the most, economical way of supplying
hogs with sulphur during winter when they
require great deal of carbon, but in sum
mer it is best to feed it to them in substan-
ces that contain less carbon, en- account of
their producing less heat Mustard is one
of tie best thing for this purpose, and
some OF it should be sown in every pasture
into which hogs are turned. If hogs are
kept in, or in small lots it is we'll to supply
them with wild mustard which grows in the
fields and highways, or to cultivate some
Of the best varieties for them. They will
eat its leaves. flowers and stalks
Som years ago we had occasion to buy
a large quantity Of Hooking Valley (Ohio)
coal. 1t was stored in lot in the rear of
the factory, easily entered by hogs, which
were permitted to run at large in the city.
On several occasions these hogs were OBJ
served to be eating the coal. These hogs
were many of them very fat, not requiring
food.
