IMroRTANT no PoRK RAIsERs.-Ih con-
versation with Mr. Bufield, at his celebrat-
ed pork aid bacon tactoryin Cincinnati, a
short time since, he informed us that an
Important change was taking place among
some farmers Of that region in their mbdc
Of raising hogs. That there was an in
creasing demand in the Eastern markets
for pork and bacon from young hogs, and
Of thinner quality than formerly, aid that


farmers were beginning to learn that by
selecting agood thrift y breed, and manag-
ing them properly, they can raise hogs Of
wohundred to tWohundred and fifty pounds
weight at nine or ten months old and at d
saving Of one-third to one half the expense
over the old system Of wintering store hogs,
and slaughtering them at eighteen or twen-
ty months old. To practice This system
the pigs should come in winter or carly
in the spring; and especial care must be
taken to have them ksp' Mriping during
their ,rhole iices; for if they become stunt
ed when young, it is impossible to recov-
er them in time for slaughtcring till the
next year.-Ohio Crltiuitor. 5aF atf
