STOCK
CARING FOR THE BROOD soWs
Give the Animals Good, Hearty Ra-
ton, Strong in Protein and Not
Rich in Fat-Making Foods.

People will tell you that a brood
SOW should not be too fat at farrow-
ing time. That's true; but that doesn't
mean that she should be starved to a
shadow. She should be fed a good,
hearty ration, strong in protein, and
fUt rich in the fat-making foods. She
should have plenty of exercise. She
should be in that thrifty condition
which makes her as strong as a bull
but not fat.
There's no danger of her having too
Huch bone and muscle. The heavier
she is the better-provided that too
much of her weight is not fat. An
sll-corn ration robs her of the strength
she will need at the time of her trial,
and fills the cavities of the body with
fat. Then she will be fat and lazy
and will kill her pigs by lying on them.
Or she may never be able to bring
them forth. Or her appetite for bone
and muscle-forming foods may be SO
abnormal that she may eat them up
But If she is kept from being too fat
by the simple method of starvation,
she will not give the litter the proper
amount OF milk.
If the SOW becomes constipated be
fore narrowing, as some sows do, ep
som salts may be given in the slop for
three or four feedings-just enough SO
that the thste will not repet the SOW
and keep her from eating.
At narrowing time occur the most Of
the pig losses. Some Of them come
from the absence Of the owner when
the pigs arrive and some from his
presence. The SOW should be carefully
watched, but she should not be dis
turbed. In other words, no dogs should
be allowed anywhere near, and she
should not become aware of the pres
ence of those who watch her. A good
brood sow stealing her nest in the
grove or fields will on the average
bring to the feed trough a better
litter than the one which is fused
over by solicitous owner. Yet she
sometimes needs help Combine the
merits of the two methods

EXPENSE OF KEEPING HORSE
Cost Is Much More Than Many Per
sons Usually 5elieve-Estimate
Placed at SIS Yearly.

The cost of keeping a horse for
year on 4 farm is much more than
matlS persons usually suppose. iii an
estimate of such cost it was found
that a horse weighing 1900 pounds
and kept at moderately hard work
costs $75 year for board. Foods,
of course, are usually higher In some
places than others, where it would not
cost 80 much.
Taking one horse with another, as
kept on our FARMS, and allowing for
the period Of idleness In the winter
season, the cost to keep would not
be more than $50. Larger horses
would, however, cost relatively more
thar those Of lighter weight
