SALT FOR PIGS.

An English veterinary writes as
follows on tho subject of giving salt
to pigs:
Personally, I should not like to
allow them free supply, which is
what putting u lump in the trough
means, and especially to in-pig or
sucking sows or very young animals.
Salt is decidedly injurious if given to
pigs in large quantities, and leads to a
condition that is described as salt poi.
soning. A little will do no harm,
hcrhaps, to large pigs, but whether 1t
is prejudice or because experience has
dcmon strated that ii is bad for the ami
mails, salt Is never placed in the pig
gerry. The cases where l have seen
salt do mischief is where brine from
che pickle tub has been mixed with
the wash, butchers waste aud that
from hotels commonly containing far
too much. The same thing applies to
soda.
l strongly advise against the use of
salt for sucking sows-anyone may
bid good-by to the youngsters if they
get any quantity. Even the liquor in
which salt meat has been boiled has
been known to upset them. A far
greater essential for pigs than salt is

Use all reasonable pains to keep the

to handle them, as It will be when the
