A correspondent writes to know whether
| it pays "to turn out hogs" In reply we
would say that it depends upon where the
hogs are, and what kind they are. If they
are of the razor-back breed, with noses like
the share to a sub-soil pillow, and they are in
vestigating the lower formation of your
flower beds. then it would probably pay tC
'turn them OUT if it took you half day tC
show them where the front gate was. Hart
and Nolte, both good authorities, say tina
they find it pays every time to turn out
hogs. Sometimes the hog himself pays, but
it is oftsner than not that he does not. The
hogs whom we have consulted on the ques
ton seem to agree that it pays them to turn
out in time for breakfast at any rate. Oul
advice to our correspondent would be fO
him to try it for himself and so solve thu
question.
