GUINEA PIG FARM
AT GREENCASTLE
Interesting Little Animals Be
ing Raised For Experi
mental Work
Grecm-astlc, Pa-. Aug. 6. —One of j
the most Interesting Industries in j
Greencastle, and one perhaps that i
many persons do not know any-1
thing about. Is the raising of guinea;
pigs, which are sent to the city hcs-!
pltals for laboratory tests. Bruce
Pope, of East Baltimore street, has
gone into the business extensively,
and has a good-sized house fitted up
for the little animals. At the pres
ent time he has on hand 200 large
guinea pigs, and a number of young
ones, and they are housed in iwtnty
five small pens. The pens all have
a yard enclosed with wire netting,
but the small animals sleep in the
rear pens, which are entirely dark,
with the exception of small openings
Just large enough for them to crawl
in. Through the summer they live
on clover, beet and other vegetable
tops, but in the winter they have a
diet of hay and corn fodder.
Pome of them are as white as
snow, while others are as black and
shiny as a silk hat. Quite a number
are cream colored, while some are of
a reddish brown color.
In each group is placed one male
and five females, and they breed
frequently, a mother often giving
birth to five little pigs. The pigs
are shipped to the city when they
weigh from six to ten ounces. After
the animals are two days old they
eat everything that is given to the
older pigs.
Last winter because of the ex
treme cold, Mr. Pope was compelled
to keep a stove burning in the shed
containing the pigs, as they must
be kept in a place where the tem
perature is at least 60 degrees. This
year he expects to go into the busi
ness even more extensively, and will
ship pigs to the cRy every two
weeks. The pigs are in great de
mand for laboratory tests and the
business of raising them for this
purpose is quite profitable.
