IT is said by a farmer who has
tried the experiment so often as to be
sure OF his ground, that buttermilk
poured over the back OF scuryy pig
will entirely and speedily remove the
scurf. The remedy is SIMPLE. Almost
every farmer can boast of one or more
scuryy pigs, and if buttermilk will
cure it, it should not be spared.
