Hog Notes.

asf a
Corn alone is a very poor ration
for growing pigs.
Ship stuff, slop and clover makes
cheap growing ration.
1t is difficult to keep an ex-
clusively fat hog healthy in hot
weather as the heat deteriorates.
With hogs intended for breeders,
good moderate growth is prefer
able to one that Is forced.
The longer a farmer carries lot
Of hogs, the greater the chances are
that there will be losses.
AS a good drink of brine will
kill hog, they will rarely injure
themselves eating too much dry
salt.
AS soon as pigs begin to eat
they become practically self-sup-
porting and demand less and less
of the mother
The sooner after the first of
September the pigs are farrowed
the better start they will get be-
fore cold weather sets in. &
There is no danger of having a
SOW too fat if the food used to pro-
duce the fat is of the right. kind.
When a sow can lie in quiet con-
tentment to allow her little young
sters to suck long and vigorously.
and then snuggle up close to her
and sleep, she will likely do her
part towards raising strong,
growthy lot of pigs. p
A better quality of meat will be
secured if the hogs are given a
variety Of food, especially during
growth, than if confined to one
kind of food, no matter how good
it may be.
AS rule it is not the best plan
to breed young sow to farrow her
first litter in the spring. All things
considered, the better plan Is to
select the young sows desired as
breeders from the spring litters and
breed to farrow when a full year
old and in the spring, after grass
has made a good start to grow
