PIGS RUPTURED IN THE SCROTUM. 



There are (»n some farms from year to year numerous cases of pigs 

 ruptured in the scrotum, while, on other farms this condition is 

 scarcely known. Some farmers castrate these pigs as readily as they 

 castrate their ordinary hoar pigs, hut a great many others find the 

 operation difficult or are unable to perform it. 



The value of a pig in this condition is so slight that unless there 

 is a considerable number of these ruptured pigs raised on the farm 

 it will hardly pay the average fanner to employ a veterinarian to 

 perform the operation.
