I iic digestive organs car. maiiase a small nuantitr or raw food, e vcn tbotttrli it bc Indian corn, and arc probalily able tocxtract the nutrimcnt fully from it; but If thc raw food is incrcascd bcyoud a ccrtain amount, it will not bo tliorotishl y diffested.

It wiKt be a bclief similar to this, which induccs thc lnU pcoplc, (acconling to ilr. Lolcman,) to ouk thcir potatocs fo ?lightlr as to leave a stone in the middle.

Hogs should be kcpt dry and comfortably warm, while bcing fattcd. They should bc fcd in clcan troughs, and the appctite shonld bc so closely watcncu tnat no :oou is givcn them to oc icit irom one mcai to another.
