and snoutcd obliouc streams of water forty

which lhc tow.boat had in tow. After il
disonnrorrd lhr captain examined the
hnrGc and found splinter from its bill
embedded in the timber, which he said re.
scmblcd ivory.
Al thc time of publishing the above we

The crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1877-1878, 1878-01-03

From the experience of successful
swine breeders it is pretty well establish
ed that to keep pigs growing and thrifty
all winter, it is important to give them a
dry, warm place to sleep; good drink,
either warm slop or fresh pumped water
and to keep not too many hogs in an en-
closure, and they as nearly aspossible of
a size. If you have large and small to-
gether, the big ones will run over the
little, and they will not get their share
of food. There is. much more danger OF
cholera or epidemic diseases where the
conditions mentioned above are dis
regarded than where hogs are kept
thrifty and growing, and certainly there
is more profit. A dry, warm bed is 9
cheap luxury for hogs in winter, and
every farmer should prepare shed and
plenty Of material in the fall.
