MEDIUM LITTER OF

Idea Of Selecting Sow to Grow
Large Number Of Young Is
Not Good Practice.

It is customary with hog raisers

one with a large number Of teats In
order to accommodate large litter OF
pigs. ] had an inquiry from custo-
mer some time ago for two SOW pigs
and he said that people told him that
a sow should have IA teats.
There are few sows with so many
teats and really the very large litter
is not In my opinion the most profit
able one anyway. A SOW with ordinary
care cannot properly nourish more
than or 10 pigs and ! am not sure
that but 6 or is better than 10.

do not grow fast. II takes just about
all that the SOW can digest to keep the
pigs making satisfactory growth. The

system TO provide food for the pigs.

is getting moderate feeding twice a
day and the pigs are growing rapidly
This SOW has raised and 8 pigs to
the litter heretofore, but she never

is more profitable than the very large
litter and that the idea of selecting a
