1t is going the rounds in our exchanges
that a sow should be bred as often as she
will breed. to attain the best success,
saying that a sow will couple in three to
five days after narrowing, and that she
should be bred at this time, reasoning
that If allowed to run too long without
being bred she will, by laying on too
much fat, fnjure her breeding qualities.
We don't know by whom this doctrine
was started, but certainly by SEINE one
short in that commodity known as ex-
perience. A sow bred at this time cannot
snckle her pigs more than six weeks, and
it is very doubtful if she should for this
length of time without detriment to her
self and coming litter. Any one knows
that an average farmer cannot succeed
well with pigs weaned at six weeks old.
Men of experience also know that a SOW
must have period of rest between lit
tiers, or else she will soon fail. A SOW
may bring two or three filters of paying
numbers bred in this way, but after
wards, unless rested, she il liable to be-
come an utter failure.-M. IN Stoclsmdn.
