Whereas Section 2 of an Act entitled %f Kdueation, to ho paid hy the Siale Trca* urer e made to attain a weight in excess of the cost of the feed, would aNo be attended with a loss, FIio secret of successful money-making in feeding pigs consists in so managing them on j tec iced as to chinm a growth and weight, over ami above the cost ol feeding ami lite amount of mod required lo sustain 11 it* ami locomotion.

The manure would accumulate with a liberal bedding?and pigs should always have plenty?would constitute no small share of the benefits in winteiing.

To economize and manipulate the Iced as much a* possible, the animals should l?o pushed to condition lit to slaughter as soon as possible; because the gain is faster .at this point than when in .a lean condition, and, if tat, advantage can be taken any day of a rise in the market ol a lavorblc opportunity to sell.
