of the kind Of food described. Never
feed a pig very heavily ON corn before

small quantity u corn. You will thus

you may put on the extra fat. A. 90 tho

them ON pasture the next summer and
put them In small poh with good
floor about the lat Of September for two

or, by orowding when taken from the
cattle, In considerable less time.
Put occasionally little hard wood
ashes or finely powdered tobacco In tho
food Of sheep. This kills the interna
parasites which trouble this animal In
