WINTERING THE SMALL PIGS
Ansufale VIII Not DO Well and Return
Coed Profit Unless Few Prseau'
tlons Are Observed.

Many small farmers buy fan Pigs
and fail to make them do well, but 90
not know the reason. writes J, Brown
In Orange Judd Farmer. Fan pigs
win not winter we'll and make gooa
profit unless several restrictions are
carefully submitted to, First, make ar
rangements to let them have access
to out OF doors whenever they are ais
posed to go out. Pigs shut up indoors
languish. They want to run out Wnen
the weather is severe, even they re-
turn at once some days. Swine carry
SO much OF q coating OF fat that they
will stand more cold than many sup
pose. Frequently the kind-hearteo
owner closes the doors and expects
pigs to go on growing. But they re-
fuse. The larger the pigs when severe
weather comes on the better they VIII
do. OF course, If you live where the
climate is mild this does Tot apply.
But all young animals must have
plenty OF exercise.
Second.-Do not let them work or
lie In heating manure The warmth APP
peals to them. They spend too much
time in 1t, aud they rush into the cold
only to be attacked by lung and
other kindred troubles. The roofing
over of manure In summer will not
harm. Give plenty of bedding and a
sleeping room where draft cannot
| blow over them, and let 1t be dry.
Dampness Is detrimental to swine any
time, but especially so in winter.
Third--Milk Is likely to be scarce in
winter, and for this reason many pen
| sons are not situated right to take on
young pigs. They need milk because
they are young. and all the more be-
cause the weather Ia trying to diges-
tion. Persons with young swine that
do not grow forget some OF these
things. A hot siop (not too hot) win
ter mornings 10 relished by all pigs.
and seems needful where pigs are
making their best growth.
Fourth Constipation, that enemy
of all animals, Is mors than likely to
attack pigs that are deprived of green
food aud under stress because Of any
lack of nutrition. It must be guarded
against. Give fruit, vegetables, sods
branches of apple trees, bran, mid
dlings. molasses and q small dose Of
wood ashes.
