Cut Hay for Hogs.

Few farmers are aware Of the fact that hay
is very beneficial TO hogs. but it is true,
nevertheless. Swine need rough food as well
as horses. cattle or the human race. To pre-
pare it you should have a cutting box or hay
cutter and the greener the better. Cut the
hay as short as oats, or shorter, and mix with
bran, shorts or middlings, and feed as
other food. Hogs soon learn to like
it, and if soaked in swill
and other slop food is highly relished by
them. In winter, use for the hogs the same
hay you feed your horses and you will find
that, while it saves bran, or other food, it
pnts on flesh as rapidly as anything that can
be given them. In summer the use Of hay
can be commenced as early as the hay will
do to cut, and when run through the cut
ting-box can be used to advantage by simply
soaking in fresh water until it sours -Er
