These Hogs Need Mineral Matter.
X. J., Hiram, Ga, writes: ] have
two hogs eight months old which did
fine until two months ago they got
down in their hind legs and can not
,tand up. They eat part Of the tine.
I would like to know what TO do tCr
them.
Your hogs are suffering from a
form OF mal-nutrition, due to the
fact that the ration you have been
giving them has not contained a suf-
ticient amount of protein or ash mat
ter to supply the needs of their bod
les. This difficulty can be easily
overcome D. proceeding as follows:
First, discontinue the use of corn
iOr lie" days. 80 shorts which
are reduced TO a laui. thin slop by
skin-mtIE or select .ltchen waste
which is tree from bro zen glass and
the utmost Importance to bear IN
mind. So-called I've is sometimes
used for cleansing sinks. dishes and
other utensils. and is then poured
into the slop and fed to hogs. This
practice is both cruel and senseless,
the practice is followed, hogs are
bound to develop indigestion or other
troubles.
Give your hogs as much exercise
as possible. No doubt they are con-
fined in q small pen which is prob
ably tightly floored. They cannot,
therefore, move about and take the
normal amount of exercise which an
imals in vigorous health generally
take, nor can they gather up any
mineral matter from roofing in the
ground. Make a mixture of two
pounds pulverized copperas, four
pounds sulphur, eight pounds COM
mon salt, eight pounds air-slaked
lime, one bushel charcoal and one
bushel of wood ashes. Pulverize
these materials and mix together
thoroughly, then place a part of this
mixture in a box where the hogs
may have convenient access to 1t.
You will probably be astonished by
the avidity with which they eat this
material. 1t is one Of the things
their systems crave and with which
they must be supplied in order to
overcome the mal-nutrition from
which they are suffering.
