Meaning Pigs.

The time of weaving should not be de-
termined by the age of the litter so much
as how they are growing and eating, and
their possibilities to take care of them
selves. This period of preparation should
date from the day of birth. I will, how
ever, omit the first three weeks of the
pigs life, taking it for granted that dur
ing this time tho best of care and judg-
ment has been exercised. We now find
the litter beginning to eat, and this is a
critical period of the pigs life. Their
stomachs are very tender, having been
used to nothing but pure sweet milk,
perfectly har,nonized by nature. Their
teeth are tender, and they have not sutii-
Gent strength to properly masticate their
food. 1t thus passes into the tender
stomach, causing indigestion and fol-
lowed by securing. This is q natural
consequence, and not infrequently be-
comes a serious matter if due care is not
taken while their stomachs and bowels
are in this irritated condition.
In a short time we find the pigs in a
normal condition and clamoring for
food. The sow's rations are increased;
a shallow trough is provided, and placed
where the pigs only can have accesst to it.
begin by feeding sweet milk, gradually
adding shorts, ground oats, bran, oil
meal, etc., feeding at least three times a
day, but increasing as the age and de-
mands will permit. Surprising them to
b eight weeks old, we think the time for
weaving or separating them from the
SOW has arrived. We continue to in
crease their feed, diminishing the feed of
the SOW. This, however, should be grad
ual, continuing for a week or ten days,
when each litter is given a distinguish
ing mark and recorded.-W. Green.

Fl ANIMAL INDUSTRY.
SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE CARE
OF CATTLE ON SHIPBoARD.

Information Brought Out by the Can
altan Commission of Inquiry Into the
Live Cattle Shipping Trade-Isecom-
mendations of Insurance Managers.
The recent inquiry in Canada in con-
nection with the transatlantic live cattle
trade has brought out much valuable in
formation and many suggestions for the
better ways of carrying the animals.
The managers of of the largest in
surance companies have offered the fol-
lowing suggestions, that have met favor
ably with the commission. They recon-
mended that no vessel for live stock
should be passed by q government in
spector unless she is equipped and built
as follows: ~ That there be at least z
feet 3 inches between decks; () that
she be provided with steam fans, or
fans of sufficient capacity to force fresh
air between decks in quantities ample
for all the animals placed on said deck
OF, decks.
They also recommend that there should
be-a condenser of sufficient size to pro-
vide fresh water for all animals carried.
That there should he angle iron frames
fitted side by side or the top deck, three
feet apart, on all steamers carrying q
deck load Of cattle, to DO fastened in @
inch plank. That steamers should be at
least 1900 tons net register, and have at
least $50 horse power. That there should
be a sufficient number of water barrels
and hose conveniently placed. That the
space to DO allowed for each animal
should not be less than two feet eight
inches by eight feet, it being understood
that five stockers (not to weigh more
than 1000 pounds each) may be allowed
in the space for four fat cattle, and that
not more than ten sheep be placed in the
space allotted to n fat OK. Neither
high nor over fed cattle to be carried ON
deck, but in every case to be slowed
under deck in a convenient place. That
no head ropes of less than one inch in
diameter be allowed. That no distillery
cattle for shipment DO allowed on the
wharf between 8 u. IN. and 6 p. H., and
that all loading Of said cattle be done
between 6 p. m. and s a. IN. Live
stock not to be allowed upon any
steamer until the loading of the rest Of
the cargo has been completed. A sum-
Gent number of competent attendants
to be always provided, and these men
obliged to sign the ships articles and
be under the authority of the captain.
All vessels carrying cattle to have on
board at least three barrels of oil for use
in heavy weather. That all steamers
carrying live stock be fitted with the
electric light. That in fitting up stalls
passages should be left so that the SOUP
pers can be reached and kept clean.
That cattle should have at least twelve
hours rest after leaving the car before
they are put on board. That there
should be a union stockyard having
wharves of its own from which all live
stock should be shipped. That no steam
er should get her clearance until the
government inspector gives a certificate
that the cattle are loaded and the steam
er equipped in accordance with the re-
Quirements.

Points of Interest,

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
writes that he is down on washing sheep
because it injures the sheep, does no good
toward cleaning the wool and hurts the
looks of it besides.
The government inspection of food an
imals is now so thorough that no swine,
sheep Or cattle from any country on
earth r healthier than those shipped
from the United States, and Europe will
be compelled to admit it.
Late reports from the European mar
kets for food animals tell the same old
story. Fat cattle are scarce, always
carce The refrigerator beef trade has
hurt the live cattle trade; there is no
doubt of that; yet the live animal ship
pers are not losing money as they were
some time ago.
