PARALYSIS AMONG PIGS
Paralysis has been prevalent among pigs in the Morrinsville district this season (says an Auckland correspondent.) One farmer recently lost 11 out of 30 both young and matured pigs being affected. He obtained advice from an official of the Stock Department, who advised the farmer to feed his pigs on slack coal. This has been done, With a distinct improvement in those which are still affected. When an inquiry was made *of the stock inspector in Auckland, he said it was not an uncommon thing to find paralysis among pigs. It was generally caused by too sour skim milk and by keeping the pigs under dirty and insanitary conditions. A little slack coal would act like a tonic, but it was only a palliative and not a cure. The cure was to feed and house them better.
