Cause OF Limberneck.
Limberneck with chickens is caused
by the birds eating decaying flesh or
filth containing maggots. The mag
gots lodge in the throat of the bird.
causing paralysis of the muscles Of
the neck and consequently inability to
swallow food. When affected the
chicken remains inactive in one place
for days at time without control Of
Its neck to take food or drink, IT grad

slow poisoning. Very few that become

Authorities disagree as to the ad.

My experience is that some hogs will
chew corn well, while others will not
break half the grains. Usually young
hog will chew its food better than
an old one. fattened hog last
year on dry corn. but not one-half Of
the grains were broken.
Where hog will not chew It's feed
we'll l think it will pay to grind its

Hogs will not chew wheat we'll, and
no hog will chew buckwheat well, SO
these grains should always be ground
before feeding to hogs.
If corn is shelled and scattered on

hogs will have to pick up one grain
