 kept in a wet and dirty pen; either of which caufes 

 tends to obftrud the free circulation of the fluids; 

 hence arife thofe globular pu(Vule.§, which are the 

 juices rendered vifcid, and coagulated. 



The different articles that I have pointed out 

 as above, will entirely remove fuch obftrudions ; 

 purify and promote the circulation of all the fluids; 

 and tend greatly to expedite the fattening of hogs. 



I muft further obferve, that hogs from the age 

 of twelve to eighteen months are the moft ad- 

 vantageous to be fed for bacon, as they have then 

 attained their full growth, will require lefs food, 

 and fatten much more expeditioufly than hogs 

 that are younger.

 experiments, with fuch further obfervations as I 

 deem neccfiary ; and which, I flatter myfelf, may 

 convey fome ufeful information. 



Your moft obedient fervant, 



GEORGE WINTER.
