ROOFING NATURAL FOR HOGS
1t Is Otherwise Of No Par
ticuiar Benefit.

Why do hogs root? Will rings or
other means Of prevention have any
detrimental effect on the health and
progress Of the animal? Experts at
the Nebraska State College Of Agricul-
ture say roofing is just one Of the nat
ural proclivities of swine. While 1t
probably does help make muscle, 1t is
otherwise of no special benefit and has
no particular significance. The fact
that hogs show a strong tendency to
plow up alfalfa fields or tear out
foundations Of the buildings is no in
dication that they are not getting
proper feed. There is no basis for the
statement that roofing results from
lack Of mineral or protein in the ra-
ton. Hogs root for worms, roots and
other food, but they seem to thrive
just as well when a cheek Is placed on
the extensive use of their shouts. They
also root to make a cool bed on a hot
day. There Is no reason why rings
should not be used where hogs do ma
terial damage roofing.
