weantnR Young Pigs.

Almost all pigs are more or less
stunted when ii comes time to wein
them from the dam. The only remedy
to prevent this is to accustom tho pigs
early to eat little milk, which may be
given TO them when they are o weeks
old. This is a good thing for the sow
also, as the pigs will not tug at her
teats SO ravenously and will gradually
begin to wean themselves If any arc
runts, it is good plan to let these
suckle the dam one or two weeks after
the thrifty pigs have been taken off.
