Hog Notes.


Never breed to rundown
boar.
The boar gives the form and
the sow the feeding capacity.
The more vigorous a breed is,
the less liable it is to attacks of
disease.
The fecundity of the pig is
such that the breeding stock may
be increased almost at will.
Good feeding means giving
everything the hogs will eat
without leaving anything or los
ing their appetite.
The pig has a place on the
farm that no other animal can
fill quite as we'll as be can.
Nothing spolls the disposition
of boar quicker than to be
driven along the highway from
farm to farm.
In selecting sows for breeding
i is well to remember that the
SOW imparts to the offspring the
feeding capacity.
On account OF lis quickly SET
Ting to the bottom of vessel
corn meal makes a very unsatis
factory material to make into
slops.
The quality of pork may be
much improved by careful and
cleanly feeding, and also very
much changed by the kind OF
food.
Breeding from immature ami
mails has a tendency to weaken
the constitutions, and a weak
constitutional animal will con
tract disease more readily than
strong one.
II is not too late to feed the
sows for fall litters, provided
care is taken to provide warm
dry quarters and 10 feed so as TO
push the growth as much as
possible.
Brood sows Of desirable quail
ties should be kept for several
years, aud two III these qualities
should be quiet dispositions and
great milk yields.
If the sows have been sucking
and are thin it will be best tc
feed them up two or three weeks
before breeding.
