soaked with oil (discarded motor car oil is very suifable) will enable a pig troubled with lice to free itself of the pest. The sacking should be tied in such a way that it will fall over tho rope or string by which it is tied, and it is an advantage to tie some tow under the sacking, and keep the tow soaked with oil. The oil will ooze through the sacking as the pig rubs. Castration. More care should be taken with this operation. It should bo done on a day when the heat is not excessive, as Then the tendency to bleed freely is not so great. A pig should never be cut after a feed, and not be given any food for at least two hours after the opt'ratio a, us they are inclined at such a time to lie in tho skim-mil It trbuglq with bad results. The operation should bo done ill absolutely clean surroundings, and the pig should bo afterwards allowed to run for a while in a clean grass paddock. Pigs should be castrated before they are a month old. If the operation is delayed heavy shoulders will develop, and this is one of (lie worst defects in pork and bacon carcases. The incision should bo made low down so as to ensure goad drainage from the cut. Many good carcases have to be made second grade becHUso of bad castration. In some (•uses quite a lot of meat has had to lie cut away from both hams, owing to a growth of a cyst in the crutch, the result of bad castration. Even tho best pork carcase exported last year, said to be ideal by Ldndon exports, was slightly disfigured by defective castration.
