A scarcity in hogs for next fall and
winter delivery is predicted 10y farm
ers in different parts of the county,
who say never before in their recollec-
ton have brood sows farrowed such
small litters OF pigs as this spring.
The trouble in each case appears to
be that the sows have SUNK their pigs
anywhere from one month after breed
ing to within few weeks Of narrowing
time.
Just what is responsible for this
condition of affairs at this particular
time can not be explained by any
of the farmers who report the con-
ditions. While several farmers seen
say that they have experienced the
condition. others say that they have
had ordinary good luck with spring
pigs, and that the borrowings have
been Of normal size.
Soldiers Home Supply Short.
At the soldiers home there is an
amazingly small number of young pigs
this spring as compared TO former
years. Usually, by this time, the nerd
of young pigs in the states pens num-
bers into the hundreds. and this spring
out of forty brood sows there is just
about an average of one young pig to
a SOW In each case the sows have
lost their pigs. and there is no ac-
counting the cause. Some experts in
hog raising who have examined the
herd ventured the opinion that the
feeding was responsible, but Command
an. Horton says that the hogs have
not been fed differently from other
seasons and, in fact, the man in charge
Of the hogs this year is more expert
enced in the business than some who
have bean employed in previous years.
Hog breeders who have had losses
Of their young pigs early in the season
are continuing the breeding season,
and in some cases report conditions
better now than earlier. This is also
true at the soldiers home, where there
will be raised several young pigs. The
number, however. will not be up TO the
usual quota, and the pigs. when ma
tured, will not be as profitable, be-
cause they are later
