PUMPKINS'AND APPLES FOR SWINE. TuE English editor of Boitssingault's Rural Ecor.omy, asserts, tat Americans say, "a hog will die upot putmpkints and tap pes alone, but ie will live atd fat ten ot a mixtuare of the two." This is the yc place we ever met with the above observa tion; yet so far as our experi-mece extends, we knig it to be incorrect. We have kept swine of various ages for weeks, ex clusively on pudins, and never knet ltem to do better; as.d that they will not lire adb thrive on apples, alone, is ntori ous the country over. We once shut up a lot of Brkshtires of various dges, in a tight pen with a phank floor, atd comniced feediag them on rav ptumpkins. As our aneighabors dropped in from time to time they iould look at te grunters, slike thteir heads atid declare if we did no take the seeds of the pumpkians away, they would cause the swine to staip so exceedingly, as to make them skeletont por itn three weeks. We and great faith in our creed, atd so let them continle to eat the seeds aid all for upwards of siz tweeks. Duritng this tinme they had noth ing else that we recollect but water, of lhich they diranak very sparingly. They throve finely during this time, tor did they stale mnucth more thia commui. aindedL, so well wvere we satisfied wvith thteir condi tion atthe end ofthis period, that we shuld have continued them on the same food as much longer, had not the pumpkias beent all consumedt. With a pour breed of hngs we haave no doubt but pumanpkint teeds munay be the im mtediate cause of dliabletes. Yet even for these, if the pumpkins be boiled or steam ed, wve do not believe any harm wvill come froan their eating the seeds; on the contrary, we have no douabt they wonld prove highly nutrtous.-Amer.
