OSSEOUS PORCINE LITTER. 
Kingston, Ont, Dec. 19 , 1886 . 
To the Editor 
Dear Sir: An interesting case has just come to my notice 
(or rather the full developments of it.) 
Last spring, I was consulted by a farmer regarding a sow • 
3he had been served by a boar four and a half months previous’ 
and had every appearance of “ being pregnant, but no youn* 
were brought ” forth. ® 
I heard nothing more about the case until to-day, when the 
iwner states that he killed the sow yesterday, and, upon examin- 
ng the womb, found the bones of several pigs in a perfect state, 
nore principally the inferior maxillae, scapula; and portions of the’ 
ikulls. 
f - Dl,nll g tIle summer, he says, there was a nasty discharge 
rom the vulva for a time; finally, the sow regained her normal 
ondition, apparently, and being fattened, weighed at death 425 
•ounds. 
It would be about twelve months since she was served by 
me boar. J
