Good bonea wanted, to enable swine to pamture svull, to keep them on tbeir feet under thé heavy pressure of forced feeditng, and to keep at bay sncb troubles as rbeumatism and gent more especially in beavy brood sews and aires. You cannot make a bacon pig witbout giving bita good bone. -The- food-that-[ne-essenti-al to,-make- good bacon cannot do otherwise tban to produce Igood bonc.,1 It will gîvE nSi bogg with good breeding propertiee, by wbicb la muant the property of breding regularly, fecundity or tbe powur te preduce raany at a littctr, and gond milking and nulrsing propertiee. -With good breeding qualitiez as wlth gond 'bone, yen cannot grow geed bacon, witb- ont eecurming both, for tbe food that Produces igood bacon ia conducive te Production of Igood breeding and goed nursing, qualities. Tbe bebavior of tbe Improved Yorkshire and the 'Tam- wýortbag sustains the views just given.
