be produced at six months. Keep the
pigs growing from start TO finish. To
make the most OF the SOW, let her pro-
duce two litters q year, prefer March
and September for narrowing times.
Since some argue that fall pigs do
not pay, let me give one illustration:
About the 10th OF last October |
had SOW TO farrow litter of
ten pigs; no special care was given
them, as the weather was pleasant.
and when the pigs were about seven
weeks old they were turned into the
artichoke field with the SOW, where
they were allowed to run with other
hogs all winter, except when very
muddy they were shut off, and when
the ground was hard frozen they were
led some corn. About the 10th of
April they were taken from the arti-
chokes and fed corn until the first day
OF June, when they were weighed, and
the litter averaged two hundred and
seventy-eight (s7s pounds. Now
should not consider this extra
weight for spring pigs at a little
less Than eight months old, but simply
mention 1t to show that there NAV be

MN or any other man with whom he
has an influence. To say nothing of
the moral effects, let me say that II
you would, in the long run, make the
most OF the hog financially, you must
deal justly with al men.
When we sum it all up, the two most
essential factors in this subject are in

feeding swine and how to balance
properly the rations so as to develop
