There is probably no country in which the Pig serves a more important purpose than in the United States. The ease with which the animal is raised; the facility which it affords for converting corn, clover, and similar bulky articles into a concentrated form of food, and the ease with which its flesh is cured for storage and transportation, all combine to render it a source Of Immense income to the country. Consequently, anything which tends to injure it as a food product, lessens the amount produced interferes with the market for it, and thus becomes a great nat-ional evil; as well as a source of disease and death to thousands.
