them whole. It has the defired and, indeed, 

 a (Inking effect. Mr. S. broke feveral parcels 

 of dung, but not the trace of a whole grain 

 of barley in the yard. The oats not being a 

 favourite food, prevent the pigs from eating the 

 barley too greedily ; as well as being hufky, 

 they require a longer time to be chewed. Mr, 

 S. treats buck in the fame manner, with the 

 fame effect : peas I find are not unfrequently 

 put among buck for the fame purpofe. 



This is to me a new idea. Mixing chaff 

 with oats for hories, to promote the maftica- 

 tion of the latter, is an old, and now almoft 

 univerfal, cuftom ; and mixing different forts 

 of food for hogs, in order to obtain the fame 

 valuable effect, is felf-cvidemly judicious.
