Pig with Throat Trouble 
I have a Spring pig weighing about 100 
lbs. Two weeks ago I noticed it had 
slight difficulty in breathing, and is now 
nearly ready to stop breathing. It does 
not seem to have “thumps,” but just acts 
ts though something was growing in its 
throat and choking it. Its appetite is 
still good, but the pig is getting thin. I 
have been giving it small doses of linseed 
oil. with a few drops of turpentine, for 
the last two days, thinking it might be 
worms. I feed extracted milk, hominy 
and bran. L. L.

It is not easy to give long distance in¬ 
formation that will be helpful in such 
conditions as you describe. It is possible 
that your pig is afflicted with tuberculosis, 
although it is uncommon for young pigs 
to develop this condition at this age. 
“Thumps” do not afflict pigs weighing 100 
lbs., but rather confine their activities to 
young pigs during the nursing period. 
The symptoms that you describe might 
indicate that he has the lung worm, espe¬ 
cially if he coughs a good deal and does 
not present the emaciated condition that 
accompanies tuberculosis. If the pig 
does not gain regularly in weight, even 
though he consumes an average amount 
of food. I am sure that nothing would be 
gained by continuing him in feeding, but 
rather that he should be slaughtered, and 
his carcass, after passing inspection, 
might be used for food. f. c. m.

Cure for Tainted Meat 
The only sure cure for tainted meat is 
to leave the meat in the barrel and let two 
men tip it up and drain the brine all off 
in a wash tub. while someone holds the 
tub from tipping over. Then heat the 
brine to boiling and keep skimming it un¬ 
til it boils. While boiling hot pour over 
the meat and it will drajv out all the taint. 
Place stones on meat to keep under brine. 
We have tried this several times and it is 
the only method that did not fail. s. w.
