2228. Pork Feeding.—It is a well-ascertained fact, that more meat will be made on half the weight of corn, if ground and made into mush instead of being fed whole.
2229. In Smoking Hams, &c., be careful not to have the fire too high, or the smoke-house top tight. It is best done in an upper story, to which the smoke is conveyed in tubes, from oak or maple chips in the cellar. (See [p. 324].)
2230. Hollow Horn.—Where supposed to exist, feed half-peck potatoes twice a week, and treat your cattle kindly in food and shelter.
2231. Sheep must be fed well, kept dry, have salt often, and pure air, and be grazed in hilly stony pastures.
2232. Cows.—Those who wish their cows to give large messes of milk in the winter season, should give them warm drink. The extra trouble will be more than repaid in the increased quantity of milk. (See [pp. 285-6].)
