Pasture For breeding Swine.
Swine, male and female, intended for
breeding purposes should be given
good grain pasture with plenty OF room
for exercise, but should have very lit
tie fattening food, says an exchange.
There Is nothing better than growing
alfalfa. II they can be turned into

or shorts they will do just what Is
wanted. That is, they will grow rap
idly and be healthy and strong. If
with such treatment they take on too
much fat shorten the feed n little. You
don't want fat hogs for breeders, but
large frames, with plenty of muscle
and digestive system that will take
on fat rapidly. provided you conclude
to make pork OF any of them.
