those interested in the scientific breeding
and raising of superior lines of the por-
cine race.
That it is a profitable business has Of
ten been demonstrated. for the immense
establishments in the West and South
have returned enormous percentages to
the proprietors. Even the man who has
but one fat porker is apt to look forward
TO the time when he will kill the pis
and turn the pork to cash or the neees-
sites of life.
For many years the value of the pss
raised at the insane hospital have been
noted throughout the State. and large
business has been done in this line
Necessarily from an institution of such
a size. where. on an average. 800 persons
live, the year around, there is much
waste from the food, and, as matter
of economy the raising of pigs on this
swill. is an important factor in keeping
down the expense of this great institu-
ton. 1t becomes a still more important
factor when a profit is derived and the
proceeds aid materially in paying the ex-
pense of the institution.
For some years this has been the case.
As high $500 per year has been made
from the pigs at the hospital In recent
years that disastrous disease known as
hog cholera has interfered seriously with
the raising of pigs. the small and eX-
ceedingly poor quarters being wholly in
adequate and by their very condition be
ing conducive to the inception and
spread of the disease.
Hereafter this will not he the case.
Every remedy has been applied and every
precaution taken for stamping out the
disease. At present it is practically un-
known there and with the new quarters.
Of which we give Il description. it is ex-
pected that it will never get another foot
hold and that the pigs hereafter put on
the market will be of superior breeding
and quality.
The last Legislature made an appro-
priation for Il new piggery at the hos
