Feeding Young Brood Sows.

during the growing season, grass OF

portion of the food OF Il brood sow. Ap-
pies, carrots and parsnips are also excel

fed with swill, let rich milk be diluted
with dish-water or whey, and q small
quantity of oat meal or barley meal be
mingled with it, Such food will promote
her growth more and Will not fatten as
much AS Indian meal The leading idea
should be to keep Il brood sow growing.
and her carcass developing, by means of
nutritious food for one year No SOW should
be allowed to breed until she is one year
Old Then if she has been selected with
reference to prolihcation and properly
managed, the proprietor may begin to es-
innate her excellence AS a breeder. There
is nothing gained by allowing sows TO
drop a litter OF pigs before they are one
year Old. But, there is always more lost
than We suppose. Breeding while too
young will always check the proper de-
velopment OF the carcass, which (develop

there are no doubt paliatives which possess con-

they are cured. Many OF those who have borne
