Dear ca.!y!e.s Address.
"The Management Of a Breeding
Herd Of Swine WAS the subject OF a
verp valuable address by Dean ". /.
Carlyle. of the Idaho state agricultural
college
He said in part First of all. try
to study the nature of the animal, his
makeup etc. II You do not know the
nature of the animal. You do not know
how to treat 1t. The man who knows
the most about the physiology etc, of
his hogs, will know best how to han
die them.
THE hog has the smallest stomach,
and digests his food very rapidly. a
hog has the best digestive organs. A
hog is very much like a man in many
ways. hog naturally is the cleanest
animal of all.
MY remarks. will be devoted to
breeders of pure bred hogs 1t Is up
to the breeders to make the hog in
dustry in the northwest success
"Ihe vitality of his breeding herd IS
fundamental. The man should study
the environment before starting in the
hog business. The environment will
determine whether Poland Chinas or
Duroc Jerseys or some other breed is
best for that locality.
The hogs health must be main
tanned. The hog must have good hous-
ing. There is more loss from pneu-
monia in Idaho than from any other
cause. The hogs III Idaho should be
kept out OF the hot summer sun, and
out Of reach Of the cold nights.
Have movable hog houses. Il is
wise to move your breeding places ana
keep the hog premises clean. The =
earth floor is best for the hog, but keep
it clean
Have suitable fencing. so you can
change the hog pasture. Have the in
disidual hog pasture small The 30 +
inch wire fence is just the right kind /
Of fencing for hogs.
'HaSe feeding floor. made of CO. /
ment II you wish, or Of plank. Have ]
a feeding floor SO the hog will get his
food clean.
An artificial bath for the hog is de- 4
sirable. Do not let your hogs use an
irrigation ditch for the bath Heavy
planks made into square. sunk In the
ground so that the hogs can get into
i easily. Put a little coal tar prod
Jet in this bath. 1t viii remove the
ice. and is coed thing for the iutes-
