domestic animals. 
In a word, in choosing a pig, you must consider your climate, your 
means of feeding, and your market; whether you want sucking-pigs or 
hobbledehoy pork.

of swine which you intend to keep, and, if possible, so managed as to 
admit of extending the accommodation, will be found the best for gen- 
eral purposes. It should be provided with a range of sheds, so situated 
as to be thoroughly sheltered from wind and weather, paved at the 
bottom, and sloping outward. Relative to the paramount necessity of 
cleanliness and dryness, let both inclosure and sheds possess the means 
of being kept so. In order to keep the sheds, which are designed as 
sleeping places, in a dry and clean state, an inclination outward is 
necessary ; a shallow drain should run along the whole of their extent, 
in order to receive whatever wet flows down the inclined plane of the 
sleeping huts ; and provision should also be made for this drain to carry 
off all offensive matters beyond the precincts of the piggery. 
The ground on which the piggery is established should likewise be 
divided into two parts, by a drain, which should run through it; and 
toward this drain each section should slope. This the main drain should 
be carried beyond the fold, and fall into a large tank or pit formed for 
that purpose. The object in view is to keep the pig-fold and sties in
