Care of the Brood Sow,


Care Of the brood SOW from the date
of service to time of narrowing is one
that should not be overlooked or treated
lightly by the breeder. If the SOW has
just weaned her pigs and is thin in flesh
she should be fed oats and corn ground
together. or ship stuff or ground rye,
mixed with water to thick slop. Feed
her twice per day quite literally to get
her to thriving. AS soon as the SOW gets
in a good thriving condition then slack
off the feed, and just feed enough to
keep her gaining little in flesh till one
month before narrowing time. The SOW
should have the run of a clover or a rye
field all the time during pregnancy, and
if there should be snow Oh the ground
so the SOW cannot get the rye or clover,
then she should have clover hay cut fine
or scaldcd. Fill a large barrel with the
fine cut clover hay and mix bran with it.;
mix it all up and then pour over it a ket-
tie of boiling hot water and cover with
plank till morning and feed it to the
sow. Then fix another barrel to feed at
night-this with little corn is SPLEEN
did feed for a brood SOW. The SOW
and salt, and have a good, warm, dry,
clean house to sleep in and pure water.
Then one month before narrowing time
the SOW should be separated from all
other hogs aud fed shorts and bran
mixed half and half, this mixed to a
thick slop, and fed night and morning.
If the lot does not have green rye or
good clover. then feed the clover hay
mash with the slop. Feed the SOW
enough to keep her gaining in flesh till
narrowing time The SOW should be in
good flesh, but not too fat For month
before narrowing time do not feed any
dry corn: feed the, SOW regular: By this
treatment the, Unborn pigs will receive
proper hourishment and will develop
strong and vigorous pigs at narrowing
time. They will be strong and active,
and will soon be able to take care of
themselves and not be overlain. like
weakly pigs would be. Then after the
SOW has narrowed she should be fed very
sparingly for Il few days on bran and
vers little shorts till the pigs are a
week or ten days old. Then increase the
shorts till we get half shorts and half
bran, and gradually increase the feed,
till by the time the pigs are three weeks
old we have the SOW on full feed but the
feed must not be irregular. but feed reg
ular each day. Be sure the bed is dry
and clean. In this way we avoid scours
in the pigs. 1t is mismanagement that
makes scours in pigs. There is no need
of having scours, and they can always
be avoided by proper management

Keeping Seed Potatoes.

The ideal method of keeping seed po-
tatoes is in cold storage. Potatoes thus
kept at the Ohio station have come out
sound and fresh with no indication of
sprouting and the vitality unimpaired,
even so late as the LIST of June 1t is i'm
portant, however, that the temperature
of the cold-storage room should not fall
below 35 degrees, nor should it rise
much above 10 degrees. When cold
storage is not available, sprouting may
be in some measure prevented by shovel
ing the potatoes over frequently.-Rural

Feeling Sheep in Winter.

Any farmer who has a good flock Of
sheep to winter, and has liberal supply
Of clover hay, well-saved pea straw, oats
and peas, corn ensilage and roots, is we'll
fixed for winter feeding, SO says writer
in Farmers Advocate. TO my breeding
ewes, which are all Shropshire, feed the
following: In the morning, first thing. Il
bushel of cut turnips (fOr ten or twelve)
and as much pea straw as they will pick
the leaves and pods out of clean, which
is afterward used for bedding; this is all
l feed in the morning. At noon their
feed consists of bushel Of corn en-
silage (for ten or twelve), or more if they
will cut it. AT night they get roots, the
same as in the morning, and clover hay
about three weeks before lambing, when
l commence to feed clover hay instead Of
pea straw, but always feed pea straw in
the yard for them to pick at, as it gives
them exercise, which consider is very
necessary for breeding ewes. About a
month before lambing they get Il gallon
Of oats and peas (for eight mixed in the
proportion Of three parts oats and one
part peas. After lambihg, their feed in
the morning consists Of b,tshel of roots
flor eight or ten), clover hay oil they will
eat up clean, oats and pens III gallon for
five or six, and as much warm slop as
they will drink, made of oat chop and
bran. At iiooh feed roots, the same lis
in the morning, and as much corn en-
silage as they will eat up clean mixed
with cut clover hay, equal parts. At
night they get the same kind Of feed as
in the morning, but no slop. BY feeding
this way find my ewes milk well and
the lambs thrive and grow fast. My
young sheep rising 1-year-old get bush
el of cut turnips (for ten) and rs much
clover hay as they will eat up clean, and
a gallon of oats, peas and bran (for eight
or tenn. At noon they get roots and corn
ensilage mixed with cut clover hay, and
at night feed as in the morning l have
never had much experience in fattening
sheep for market, as have always bred
registered Shropshires, which l always
sell for breeding purposes. l would rec
ommend the following: In the morning
feed a bushel of cut roots (for tenn, cut
clover hay and corn ensilage, equal parts,
as much as they will eat up clean, and a
quart flor two) of the following mixture:
Oats three parts, peas one part, and one
part each of bran and nutted oil cake.
At noon. feed cut roots and little clover
hay, and at night would feed the same
as in the morning, and an occasional feed
Of pea straw, which can afterward be
used for bedding.
