Hog gCanLiOe WithoutMud,
Says u. S. Bureau

any logical facts to support this
idea of porcine filth.
In fact, the department has
come out warmly in favor Of
clean, dry concrete floors for
porkers, for the sake of the
human consumers of pork If not
for the welfare of the piggies
themselves.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
reminds, for instance, that lung
worms, a every serious parasite
of swine" is developed by hogs
roofing in mud. The lungworms
cause pneumonia in the pigs and
stunt their growth while this
parasite, as well as the more
familiar trichina, can easily sur
vive careless cooking.
