Special narrowing pens are provided
only when many breeding sows are
kept, but where there is to be
removal from the ordinary quarters
to special place it should be done in
good time, so that the SOW may
become thoroughly accustomed to her
new surroundings.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to why sows kill and eat
their young, and no doubt the causes
are as diverse as the theories ad-
vanced to account fer it. One of them,
however, and not the least common,
is insufficient space.
A SOW, when she lies down in close
quarters, is apt to catch an unfortu-
nate youngster between her carcass
and the wall against which she gen
orally places her back when sucking
her pigs.
The farrowlng-pen should, of
course, be regulated to some extent
by the size of the breed kept, but
generally the space allowed is too

around in the diminutive apartments

them as sleeping quarters.
Small breeds should be allowed a
space of not less than eight feet by
eight feet, increasing in the case of
the larger breeds up to 70 feet by
8 feet, or IL feet by 10 feet; and to
prevent the young pigs from being

if you need me-"
Ellery insisted that he did not need
anyone, was getting along finely, and
would not hear to his friends miss
ing the medical society's meeting. So
the physician went. John Ellery did
not feel cheerful that afternoon. The
tired feeling he had spoken of so light
ly was worse than he had described 1t,
and he was Respondent, for no particu-
lar reason. That night he slept miser-
ably and awoke with a chill to find a
cold, pouring rain beating against the
windows of the shanty.
He lay down on his bed and tried TO
sleep, but though he dozed bit, woke
always with a start and either a chill
or fever fit. His head began to ache
violently. And then, in the lonesome
ness and misery, fear began to take
hold Of him.
Night came. The rain had ceased
and stars were shining clear. Inside
the shanty the minister tossed on the
bed, or staggered back and forth about
the two rooms He wondered what
the time might be; then he did not
care. He was alone. The smallpox
had him in its grip. Why didn't some
one come? Where was Mrs. Coffin?
And Grace? She was somewhere near
him-Parker had said so-and he must
see her before he died. He called her

the officer, 'but don't let me catch you

In a short time King met the same
officer and walked by without salut-

why didn't you salute?" demanded
the officer, stopping him.
"Well, you just told me not to salute

not a few sacrificed sows are the
result of want of a capable atten-
dant
If the SOW has farrowed all right,
she should be fed in such the same
way as during the closing days of
CESSATION. 1t is a great mistake to
feed for milk" before narrowing, and
equally an error to begin to stuff the
SOW with heating or milk producing
food Immediately afterward.
The inexperienced breeder thinks he
must brace up his SOW with plenty
of good food to meet the demand on
her system and produce plenty OF
milk on which the pigs can grow and
thrive.
In theory this sounds well, but
experience goes to show that it is a
poor sort of SOW, and one that should
not have been bred from. that does
not, at the sart. produce enough milk
for her pigs without any extra or
special feeding
The time for this is later on when
the pigs are growing and require a
large quantity of rich milk to satisfy
their requirements. and in providing
which, if not assisted by better food,
the SOW is dragged down IL condi-
ton.
To commerce this high feeding
directly the pigs are born is not only
unnecessary, and therefore wasteful
but it is injurious. 1t really defeats
the object in view for it overstimu
lates the milk-glands and infames the
udder; while the effect on the little
pigs is to sicken them and cause
securing and liver arrangement, to
which young pigs are prone.
The majority of cases of so-called
milk-fever in sows, in which the secre-
ton disappears altogether and leaves
the youngsters practically motherless,
are due to high or overlooking prior
to, and Immediately after narrowing.
The diet of the sucking SOW should
be gradually increased in quantity and
richness, and as the pigs grow, little
meal composed of wheat. barley or
acts may be added to the shorts and
bran, which is about the best diet at
this period, and the number of times
of feeding increased.
An important feature in the sue
cessful management of the SOW and
litter is to get the youngsters to feed
as early as ->nssible. This pays in two
ways-it saves some of the drag on
the SOW, and il gets the pigs fit to
wean earlier, releasing the SOW from
her maternal duties.
Moreover when the pigs are re-
moved from the SOW, which is gen.
orally fortnight too soon, they are
much better fit to do without her
milk, and also much less liable to the
convulsivs attacks so common in
newly weaned pigs. whose stomachs
are unaccustomed to deal with the
coarse food often too plentifully sup
piled to them.
Indigestion. constipation and fits"
are very intimately connected. and all
are due to improper feeding.
The best way to teach young pigs
to eat is to provide run or creep"
into an adjoining pen to which the
sow cannot obtain access, or to feed
them while she is turned out to get
some exercise.

CHAPTER XV.-lContinued.l


The sick man was raying in delirium
when he reached him. but the sound
of the water tapping the sides Of the
saucepan brought him to himself. He
seized Ellery by the arm and drank
and drank. When at last he desisted,
the pan was half empty.
The minister laid him gently back in
the bunk and stepped to the foot of
the ladder for breath. This made him
think of the necessity for air in the
place and he remembered the little
window. 1t was tightly closed and
rusted fast. He went up to the deck,
found marlin spike. and, returning,
broke the glass. A sharp, cold
draught swept through the forecastle,
stirring the garments hanging on the
nails.
An hour later, two dories bumped
against the side of the San Jose. Men,
talking in low tones, climbed over the
rail. Burgess was one Of them;
ashamed of his panic, he had returned
to assist the others in bringing the
brigantine into a safer anchorage by
the inlet.
DR.. Parker, very grave but business
like. reached the deck among the first.
MIR. Ellery," he shouted, where
are you?"
The minister's head and shoulders
appeared at the forecastle companion.

The doctor made no answer in
words, but he hurried briskly across
the deck One man, Ebenezer Capen,
an old fisherman and ex-whaler from
East Trumet, started to follow him,
but he was the only one. The others
waited, with scared faces, by the rail.
Get her under way and inshore as
soon as you can," ordered DR.. Parker.
"Ebenezer, you can help. II | need

The minister backed down the lad

ker bent over the bunk for n few mo-
ments in silence.

added sharply, what made you do
