UNCOOKED FOOD FOR PIGS.
Ibeain, says a Vermont farmer, to feed my pigs when small on uncooked food of all kinds, such as apples, potatoes, green grass and weeds, corn fodder, etc , with a little Water and tour milk to drink. Hour milk is belter for them than sweet, for it gives them f n appetite and lieep3 them healthy, so that they will grow faster. When lam ready to begin fattening the animals, I feed th:in with dry feed or corn, and a little while after they eat it I give them a little sour milk, if I have it, if not, a little clear cold water, ijtJrhis method o? feeding saves laboraud food, consequently saves expense. Tho dry meal will stay on the stomach until it is entirely digested, while the sloppy food will pass through the'animal more quickly, and beforo it has had time to do half service. I have tried a good many experiments in pig feeding, and have finally settled down upon this as the best. You must begin the use of uncooked food when they are young.
