The floor is paved and sprinkled . with burnt clay and ashes obtained by burning Weeds. In this the pigs are fed ; while for resting and sleeping they have a cosamoa eompartrcent railed off at ths other end, amply provided with clean straw. In another case box feeding has been applied, the pigs being kept in a pit- . icto which the manure from the ox and the sow stables aad the horse stables is put.' The pigs tread this down and kcem to enjoy themselves amazingly . In one case, where this-plan has been adopted, the farmer states that his pigs have 'given him a profit by their meat, aad left the dung as good as guana for nothing.'"
