Fits 
ran  you  toll  mo  what  is  tho  mattor 
with  my  pigs?  I  had  six  about  fivo 
months  old,  nice  and  fat.  I  feed  rye 
chop  and  corn,  have  thorn  in  a  po¬ 
rno  tif  stable,  rye  straw  for  bedding.  One 
by  one  they  got  side  and  die.  They  be¬ 
gan  to  cough,  get  croupish.  diflieult  to 
get  breath  :  all  at  once  they  hack  and  fall 
over  on  their  back  and  tremble  all  over 
and  the  froth  runs  out  of  the  mouth.  It 
aets  just  like  fits.  After  that  is  over  they 
get  up  and  walk.  The  throat  seems  to 
swell  shut ;  it  seems  they  cannot  swallow. 
Then  they  gel  stiff  and  cannot  walk.

Over-feeding  and  oonfinoraorit  may 
bring  on  snob  attacks,  hut  worms  may  ho 
a  contribute ve  cause  and  it  is  possible 
that  quinsy  sure  throat  is  present  in  some 
cases.  Turn  the  pigs  out  for  abundant 
exercise  every  day.  See  that  the  bedding 
is  free  from  dust,  blit  clean  and  dry.  Feed 
roots,  green  feed  of  any  kind  and  light 
slop  of  milk,  wheat  middlings  and  a  little 
coni  meal  and  flaxseed  meal.  If  worms 
pass  in  the  manure  give  the  worm  medi¬
