FAv0RS YOUNG SoWs.

Experienced Hog Raiser Believes cilts
Raise Best littsrs.
Tie contrast between gifts and aged
sows has often been dwelt upon,
writes @. p. Williams I'm the Ohio
Farmer. The man who has a bunch
of gifts Is too often like the boy be-
ginning grammar-his suspicious and
prejudices are thoroughly aroused. and
he does not expect much luck with
the young sows. We have tried both
young and old and all ages between
Our ideas have changed from time to
time. There are reasons for contend
ing In favor Of both young and old
sows.
When young sows are to be winter
ed with the old ones then get ready
for the realization OF your fears. gifts
will be driven from the trough. from
the corn and from the nest by old
sows. They will be thoroughly cowed
no as to be peevish and III nourished.
Gilts should be fed differently from
old sows. They cannot stand heavy
feeding and do well. They need
growth instead OF fat They need ex-
ercise They do not want a 800 pound
sow climbing on top OF them In the
nest nt night.
Five years ago we had spring litters
from gifts only. wintered together
with no old sows. We had better
averages nj narrowing time than ever
since. This spring we have all gifts
wIntercd together. as before. fed with
moderation and food designed for
growth. by far more quiet and cnre-
ful than the bunch we said goodby to
last spring. They have as nice and
evcn lot OF piggies as one would care
to see-averages good. no runts. no
half dozen extra pigs Ia he lain upon
aud no bad habits. barking nnd climb
Ing over gates or creating disturb
anccs.
We have found no age better for
raising pigs than gifts bred at one
year OF age and narrowing when
weighing 800 pounds or even less.
The next two or three litters are pos
sibly as good. After that the pork
barrel is a better place for most old
sows than Is the farrowing pen.
