Sib, — As next Monday is the day on which keeping pigs within the boundaries is to be stopped, I would like your readers- to know that it is outside where most of the recent sickness has occurred; and that it is the opinion of some of our best medical men, that keeping a pig in a stye, and having it cleaned out several times a week, is not a nuisance, but causes good by the offal and cabbagewater being consumed. The writer of this has his pigs in an open building twenty feet long, nine feet high, and eight feet in width ; and the floor is boarded, and is seventy feet away from a dwelling-house. — I am, &c, One of the Unfortunates.
