The breeders who wean at the early
periods are situated where dairy by
products are plentiful and usually
raise two litters each year. Breeders
living in the corn belt often make no
attempt to wean them. The pigs run
with the sow until her instincts tell
her they are old enough to SHIFT for
themselves. There ds little reason why
she should not have two litters year
II the breeder is in position to care Cor
them properly.

ways possible to get three meetings into
one Sabbatll-and this ride over roads so
steep and difficult that It was necessary
sometimes to change horses two or three
