TO RAISE GOOD PIGS.
Pigs, says a writer, will not always eat and never can be. fattened upon raw potatoes, while if they were boiled, next to boiled peas perhaps, will bring them to the greatest weight they are capable of attaining, and to greater perfection than anything else that may be continuously used with safety, admitting that three or four weeks’ feeding upon corn, oats, or barley is necessary to make the pork firm and impart flavor. It is the experience of very successful pork-raisers that one bushel of corn meal mixed with four bushels of boiled potatoes gives a very satisfactory feed for pigs.
