like,
instead
of
the
usual
method
of
stabbing
in
the
side,
apply
a
dose
of
train-oil,
which,
after
repeated
trials,
has
been
found
to
prove
successful.
The
quantity
of
oil
must
vary
according
to
the
age
or
size
of
the
animal.
For
a
grown-up
beast,
of
an
ordinary
size,
the
quantity
recommended
is
about
an
English
pint,
which
must
be
administered
to
the
animal
with
a
bottle,
taking
care
at
the
same
time
to
rub
the
stomach
well,
in
order
to
make
it
go
down.
After
receiving
this
medicine,
it
must
be
made
to
walk
about
until
such
time
as
the
swelling
begins
to
sub-
side.

To
cure
Measles
in
Swine.
It
sometimes
happens,
though
seldom,
that
swine
have
the
measles.
While
they
are
in
this
state
their
liesh
is
very
unwholesome
food.
This
disorder
is
not
easily
discovered
while
the
animal
is
alive,
and
can
only
be
known
by
its
not
^thriving
or
fattening
as
others.
After
the
animal
is
killed
and
cut
up,
its
fat
is
full
of
little
kernels,
about
the
size
of
the
roe
or
eggs
of
a
salmon.
When
this
is
the
case,
put
into
the
food
of
each hog,
once
or
t\yice
a
week,
as
much
crude
pounded
antimony
as
will
lie
on
a
shil-
ling.
This
is
very
proper
for
any
feeding
swine,
even
though
they
have
no
disorder.
A
small
quan-
tity
of
the
flour
of
brimstone,
also,
may
be
given
among
their
food
when
they
are
not
thriving,
which
will
be
found
of
great
service
to
them.
But
the
best
method
of
preventing
disorders
in
swine
is
to
keep
their
sties
perfectly
clean
and
dry,
and
allow
them
air,
exercise,
and
plenty
of
clean
straw.
