Hints on Hog Growing their Care
AID Management.

Fine feeding of hogs is a matter of
much greater importance than farmers
usually attach to it. There is an old
adage "That what ever is worth doing
at all, is worth doing WELL" This is
as applicable to the feeding of swine
as to any other subject.
Ofal milk from the dairy is very
palatable' and %nutricious for pigs under
three months old. 1t is equally good
for older ones, but they can do better
WITHOUT it, as their digestive organs
are strong enough to operate on
stronger food Next to milk is sound
corn4we mean sound from any faint
of monfdiness or decay. We distin-
guish between sound and Whole corn.
It is not good policy to feed corn
whole, unlessait is steamed or other
wise cooked. Fruits, nuts and vege-
tables are valuable abjuncts to inter
spersep with other food ; and they are
all the better for being cooked.
The times and manner of feeding
music depend in a great measure on
the Judgement and discretion of those
who lave the oversight and direction
in cch,individual case. W. can give
general directions, only, as land marks
to the inexperienced. The animal
should never be allowed to get very
large feed at one time, "Little and
often'"sis the golden rule Three times
a day will do after the pig is three
months old ; but before that age, four
or five times a day is little enough.
The o9ndntity should be only what ii
will eat up at once if any is left in
the trough, it should be taken out and
give a little less next time /; better
