followed, the forage should be well

Gently collected information regarding
the relative proportions of the two sexes
of pigs at birth, with quite interesting
results. This information is not to be
obtained from the herdbooks for the
reason that, while the total number of
pigs farrowed is usually given, the
number of each sex is given only for the
pigs raised.
Reports were received from 81 breed
ers, located in % states and 2 territories
Indian Territory and oklahoma. Eight
breeds were represented as follows:
Berkshire, Chester White, Duroc Jersey,
Hampshire, Large Yorkshire, Ohio I'm
proved Chester, Poland China, and Tam
worth. In few cases the records of
litters of grade and mixed breeding are
given; these are included In the results.
The number of sows whose litters
were reported was lat. The number
of boar pigs was $500; the number OF
sows 8,625; and the total 1925. The
average per SOW was as follows: boars
4.5l, sows 4.4s, total 500. The figures
are mainly for litters farrowed during
1905. In 40 cases second litters during
the year were reported for the same
sows, which somewhat raises the aver
age per sow.
Boars are seen to be slightly more
numerous than sows, but for all practi.
cal purposes the sexes may be regarded
as equal in number at birth. The rela-
tive proportion was found to be zoos
boars to 1000 sows. Expressed In an
other way, the proportion is 100.5S boars
to 100 sows, which in lowest terms OF
whole figures is POI boars to 200 sows'
