Orchardists Learn Pig Authored Pest Control Trial
An orchardist recounts William Farrer’s pig pest control idea where pigs roam to consume fallen apples and pests. The article notes a neighboring farmer’s similar trial with trees among vines and discusses whether pigs rubbing on bark prevents grub climbing, with practical notes on potential losses and outcomes. It also discusses charcoal as a dietary stimulant for horses and cattle, describing its role in digestion and as a corrective for stomach acidity.
