FEEDING SOUR FOOD TO PIGs.-The pre-
vailing notion that the hog has digestion
equal to any undertaking in the way of con-
verting crude or offensive food, leads many
to give, in excessive quantities, what ever
refuse happensto be on hand, whether spoil
ed grain, putrid meat, or other refuse. The
result of such mess, when given to sow
about to pig, or having litter at her side,
is inevitably damaging to the pigs. The
milk glands act in such a case as an outlet
for offending substances that get into the
system through the stomach, or that,
through any species of disordered action,
are engendered within the system. From
this it will be seen that the milk of an ami
NAL not in a perfect state of health must
contain a considerable portion of the impu-
rites that are from hour to hour given off.
The fact that poison taken into the system
of the young, eitherhuman or brute, through
the milk, acts so promptly, generally pro-
ducing disorder of the stomach and bowels
within very few hours, is sufficient proof
of the virulence of the poison as we'll as OF
the importance of guarding against such ac-
cumulations within the system OF brood sow
while sucking her young. Dry corn gives
q tendency to feverishness. Too much sour
slops, if the SOW be debarred from access to
the EARTH ashes, charcoal, and like substances
capable of neutralizing the excess OF acid,
will derange digestion. The blood becomes
impure, and, as stated, these impurities es-
cape in part into the milk.-Liue 'HocE Jo,n-
