piece about the barring out of BwUl-fcd

Although not a hog-raiser i. am inter

It not time to condemn the swill-fed

reasons.
When a man takes swill from tne city
with the express purpose' of feeding It
he takes the swill home and put3 It in
a boiler, or tank, and bolls It This Is
done to obtain the grease and fat which
come to the top upon cooling, and also
to cook anything which Is not already
cooked. Ho sells tho grease to the soap
