Feeding Hogs.

Hog cholera and other diseases Of
swine seem to prevail in the fall of
the year more than any other
season, and in a majority of cases
the disease appears in the pens
where corn is used exclusively. Ex-
periments made to determine the
value of foods show that the hog
increases more rapidly in weight
when the food is varied, and the
meat is also then of better quality.
Corn is an important food in fat
tcning hogs, but when milk, cooked
roots, cut clover hay(scslded) and
bran are added to the corn the hogs
will improve more rapidly and
keep in health,
