of the rules. The most important
rules were these:

the other between the lips, and look
inquiringly around for a light.
How to leave room properly.

How to accept dinner invitation

no means should the pigs be allowed
to remain with a SOW until she Is vir-

times done.
1t. Is not a good plan to take all the
pigs from tho SOW, unless one or two
Of them can be turned with her some
hours after. to draw the milk she will
have at that time. and again, say af-
ter lapse of "a hours. The preferred
way is to leave about two OF the small
lest with her for several days, and
after that leave only one for two or
three days more. by which time the
flow of milk will have been so gradu-
ally diminished that no injury to the
SOW will result by keeping them en-
tirely away from her. This extra sup
ply Of milk helps also to push the
smaller pigs along in growth and put
them more nearly on an equality In
size with their thriftier mates.
