Feeding for Pork.

One OF the mistaken policies of stock
feeding, especially hogs, is to feed them
upon some one unchanged diet. AS the
matter of feeding is made a scientific
study. the idea of an exclusive corn diet

Enthusiastically to the fact that it is un-
healthy; and, if SO, it cannot be classed
as profitable, and our veterinary authors
are now claiming that hog cholera, that
scourge of hog breeders, had its origin

exclusion OF all other diets, and if the
system is persisted in it will be noticed

does not supply, devours with Unsuitable

Upon this subject the Western Rural

such food as will develop all parts of
the system, and for this purpose the

such as wheat middlings, etc., the
