SWINE. 5A SHE AVES of oan ed, in London, the HEAvINGs; itis an affection of it; the lungs, attended by a fever highly inflammatory, and violent panting, in the last stage. Its seldom ‘iba known in the country, and may be the consequence oe| of long drift, change of food, and confinement. ar Air and green meat would prove the best reme- ied dy. Ihave, in several instances, perceived it he- ) Ths| reditary, me OP\ It has been hitherto supposed, that the only merit oeung ff of swine, was that of eating up what would other- kgs wise be wasted; and that no more pigs could be Ving 15 20 profitably kept upon a farm, than would answer and made oy such purpose, Mortimer, and other writers, cau- eight, by tion us very gravely, to beware of entertaining too fed with many sows, lest they should multiply beyond the whe eat possibility of supplying them with food, and so be A twice; forced to devour each other’s progeny! Nothing once, It can be more erroneous, than such reasoning: that hole ex of eating up articles of waste, is only a’part of the or week, merits of swine, which, besides being a general | tyenty- stock, fit for all soils and situations, are the appro- fat priate one of some; such, for instance, as are im- and proper for sheep: nor need there be any peculia: ftodrain limits to the number kept. I never have any ob- the*| jection to a score of breeding-sows; and had ra- ihe, ther mcrease the number, than keep less. Eris The largest and best breed of swine in England, a at present, arg the Shropshire, Hereford, Glou- ea. cester, Berkshire, and Hampshire. The midland pus counties, and Lincolnshire, breed large and good ey stock, somewhat quicker feeders, than those of nF a Shropshire, also very handsome porkers. Kent, ee Surrey, and Sussex, possess an excellent race of a home-breds, for both purposes of bacon and pork. “f, The ed, _ ee a 3S ee EE 2:
