pose Of launching the policy.
IL is stated that Minister sullivan is
a witness TO written contract in San

dent. Bordas and the rcvoiutionist gen
erals. cespedcs and Nasqucz agree to
hold Il legal election, and that if the

gigs five or six mouths old. They
would grow alright, but would
not take on fat.
1t is possible the farmer men,
toned did not feed right. At
any rate the writer gives this
years experience with five pigs.
They were arrowed March Is
The mother was a small SOW, sew.
enteen or eighteen months old
and bred for the first time. She
was a pure bred Berkshire, the
'runt" Of q litter of seven pigs.
Her pigs were sired by a Duroc-
Jersey, Three Of her litter died
leaving the five. These five pigs
were Of good size. They and the
SOW were allowed to run on q
small patch Of rape from the
time they were seven weeks old
until about the middle or TWEEN
ty-fftb Of September, when they
were put in q pen to fatten.
They learned to drink slop aud
crack coru early, and were given
some corn and slop all the time
they were On the rape pasture.
When put 10 the pen they
weighed l25 or 1870 pounds each. |
The writer had poticed that pigs
when fed q continues feed Of

of sore teeth, and this must mil

He therefore resolved to feed
