While one of our contemporaries
says that raising two filters of pigs a
year from SOW is hard upon her and
may reduce the size and vigor Of the
pigs, we maintain that both sow and
pigs will do better when two filters are
raised than when only one is allowed.
This is the usual custom in the pork
growing section, where they often al
low good SOW to produce two filters
year until she is from twelve to
eighteen years old and then consider
that she has made money enough for
her owner to entitle her to an honora-
BILE burial. And some Of the best
breeding animals have been the prod
uct of sows that were two or more
years old and had produced two filters
a year ever after the first year.-Amer-
