Pigs.— On the subject of pig feeding, readers are advised to 

 refer to three papers in this Journal for October, 1917, p. 

 721 ; November, 1917, p. 826 ; and April, 1918, p. 21. 

 In these papers Messrs. Mackenzie and Fleming give their 

 experience of feeding sows, piglings and hogs on roots, grass, 

 potatoes and other succulent foods, their ration of concentrates 

 consisting largely of palm kernel cake. At present prices the 

 information contained in these papers is very much to the 

 point. 



N.B.— The Notes on Feeding Stuffs will not be published in 

 the June issue of the Journal.
