There is nothing like skim-milk
wheat middlings and good clover pas

If the pastures have no springs or
running water, the pigs must be sup

Do not allow the sows to become run
down in condition. If you do they will
not be able to raise a good litter next
fall.
Wean the pigs when eight to ten
weeks old, and give the SOW time to
regain flesh and strength before the
next litter.
Pigs of much difference in age or
size should not run together. as the
stronger will drive the younger from
the feed.
Keep the young pigs growing. feed
them literally in the side pen. In this
way they will gradually learn self-de-
pendence and not draw so heavily on
the dam.

Tie value of discipline and training,

illustrated by a story which is told Of

line TO the ground. in a valley on the

the time to attend to details. He can
raise most, if not all, of his feed, and
by care in feeding and keeping in high

In the illustration I show 4 pen used

managed rightly. The pen arrange

their filters. Each pen is sx9 feet;

In the diagram 7 have shown pens
both adjacent TO the north and south
sides of nest pen. The pens on south

gates at c, c, c, in hallway. the trap
doors in partition between nest and
hallway are open. and tie pens on
north side are open for use where the
sows are accorded a fresh lot. and ad-
vantage of shade of building from the
hot rays Of sun. In autumn this lot
can be sown into rye, thus renovating
the pens and giving the animals a
change of pasture at least two or three
times a year on small territory. This
we think an excellent plan where ami
mails cannot have full range of the
farm. which is not at. al necessary If
the management is right.-Georgs W.
