Instinct In Animals.

ut has been noted by all biologists and
sociologists that animals are governed by
instinct" said Russell j. Langman. Just
how to define instinct has not yet been ex-
planned, but it is some governing law by
which all brutes are guided and which they
never break. 1t would almost seem that
many consider it impossible for animals to
do anything that could possibly hurt them.
selves. This instinct is supposed to tell them
when they have enough to eat and drink,
when what they eat is wholesome and when
not, guides them away from all poisonous
plants and keeps them from any dangerous
overexertion such as we humans plunge in.

PEN FOR O sows.
Illustration Taken From Barn Building.
Published by The Breeders Gazette.

illustration Taken From Barn Building,
Published by The Breeders Gazette.
Our brood sows, having been fed for
the purpose of producing strong, healthy
pigs from the time of coupling, run to-
gether in groups of the different families,
with plenty of room for exercise. About
two or three weeks before they are due to
farrow each SOW is placed by herself and
given a small building 6 by 8 feet, made
with double walls by being boarded out
side and inside of the frame Of 2 by 4.
These buildings are 8 feet 9 inches high
at the rear and Q feet high in front, with
q door in front side. The upper half of
the front being hung on hinges can be
pushed up and back to the sloping roof
and let in the sun.
These buildings are placed in q row on
the brow Of a sloping hill of gravelly
soil and are at all times dry. There is q
separate yard with each building where
the sows can take plenty of exercise.
After being placed in these each SOW is
fed lightly on laxative food composed of
wheat middlings, a little bran, and oil
meal thoroughly mixed and fed wet in
thin slop while perfectly sweet. This
treatment is continued up to the day of
narrowing, with the addition of good
pure water to drink.
A day or two previous to narrowing
she is given a fresh, clean bed, either of
straw, leaves o. sand. according to sea-
son, and is let alone to make it suit her.
self and is not disturbed. After farrow-
ing she is given a drink Of water, but
no feed for about "a hours; then a small
feed of thin slop, as we consider this the
most critical time for the proper start in
feeding for the future welfare of both
sow and pigs. If she is fed too much or
too rich for the first day or two after
narrowing, it will cause the flow of milk
to be more than the youngsters can take
and would cause caking of the sow's
udder and a feverish condition of the
milk in consequence, which in turn
would cause many Of the illsof pighood.
