v/hich to draw in a little cool frelh aify 

 there may be much truth in this theory : 

 which, however, would be ridiculous, if 

 applied to hogs fatted in the ordinary 

 prad:ice of the Ifland ; in which fatting 

 fwine have a clofe room (be it ever fo mean) 

 to lie dry and ileep in, and an open one, or 

 little yard, to eat, drink, difcharge, and 

 breathe in* The advantage of raifing a 

 larger quantity of dung is, alone, a fufficient 

 recommendation of the latter practice. 



The MATERIALS OF FATTING are 

 Potatoes, with Barley or Oats ground, or 

 Barley boiled. If fuel be cheap, and the 

 mill at a diflance, boiling the Barley may 

 be as cheap and as little trouble as having 

 it ground. 



The BOILING OF HOG FOOD, which 

 makes a part of the eftabliflied pra(!^ice, in 

 this Diftrid, forms, at leail, a fit fubjed: of 

 experiment, in others. Where fuel is 

 cheap, the pradice may perhaps be found 

 profitable.
