Thumps in Young Pigs.


Those whose young pigs have not been
afflicted with thumps may consider them
selves fortunate. This trouble Is likely to
occur with any lot of pigs where the sow
is fed heavily on corn during pregnancy
and after the pigs are dropped. This Is
proof that swine need a variety in their
ration and considerable exercise as well
to prevent indigestion and consequent
trouble with the pigs. The pigs with
thumps are fat, but they die one by one
without apparently being i'll so that there
are rarely any symptoms of the disease
until q day or two before they die, when
they will usually lie down fiat and pant.
showing at the same time a weakness of
the hin quarters. If o have a brood
SOW do not feed her as you would a hog
YOU were fattening for market. but fur
nish considerable variety in the food and
let the grain be mainly that which will
give her muscle rather than fat. Don't
forget that she requires exercise as we'll
to enable her to drop a litter Of healthy
and strong pigs.
