MANAGEMENT OF
YOUNG SHOTES
Unique AS Well As Useful Idea
Concerning Little Pigs.

The following is a rather unique as
well as useful idea concerning the
weaving Of pigs without apparent dan
ger OF injuring either the litter or the
mother. AS quoted in the last report
Of the Nebraska state board Of agri-
culture, the author says:
It is best to wean pigs when they
are two months old. but wean them
slowly. BY this time they have been
or should have been running four
weeks on alfalfa pasture with their
mothers. Some morning when they
start for the pasture let the sows find
tho gate closed. but with creep UNI

OutsiGa let the little pigs find a
trough full Of nourishing. appetizing
food and they will fill themselves up
on II and then start. as usual, for the
alfalfa pasture. The sows are re-
tanned In dry lot and their ration
suddenly changed To an exclusive dry
corn and water diet. which has ten
dency to check the flow of milk.

culiar grunt which you have so often
heard from the SOW and the little pigs
win hear 1t. and they know what 1t
means and they will come tumbliDg

ture. Now the money they save in
fence, they more than lose by worms
in their sheep. There is no disease
to-day that so threatens the future of
the sheep industry as do worms. Our
ilocks must be purged OF worms or We
must quit the business. II was esti.
mated that i'm one state alone, $4,000
sheep succumbed to the ravages of
worms I'm the year 1908. Ii is impos-
sible even to hope to have your sheep
free from worms If the same land is
used for pasture continuously. Worms
and their eggs that are passed from
the sheep. cling to the grass and are
ready to be again taken into the sys-
TEN. How can we be rid of them If
sheep are left to eat this infested
crop? Change of pasture from season
to season, and from year to year is alb
solutely imperative to successful
sheep growing and one of the chief
advantages of such a system of pas
turage as the one outlined lies in the
fact that sheep are kept upon single
piece Of land but few days or a few
months at time.
1t would pay to have every field in
the farm fenced. as there is scarcely
crop grown that at some time or
other does not furnish feed for sheep.
Most farmers. however, do not find
themselves in position to do this.
but they can, every one of them, do
the next best thing and that is fence,
say. three, five or ten acre fields, and
practice upon these three year ro-
tation which will give pasture crop
each year, or If they prefer, sow them
all to pasture. and alternate them be-
tween hogs, sheep and cattle, or just
sheep and hogs.
The alleged cost of fencing is the
hedge behind which many seek to
hide in eXcusing themselves for not
using pastures. Yet as a matter of
fact. figures show that practically any.
where in the northwest, five acre
field can be fenced at an annual cost
of $3.50 or $1.7O an acre, allowing ten
years as the life of the fence. Ger
tainly this sum cannot be regarded as
prohibitive. AS compared with the
cheap and excellent feeds 1t makes it
possible to use. 1t is not worthy OF
consideration.
The man who Is attempting to grow
| sheep without pasture is making big
mistake. He is not growing his sheep
as economically and as well as he
might, nor Is he realizing the maxi
mum benefits to his soil as result
OF his sheep industry
