Fattsnina hogs.

PAOh " A0SSSAiASs ShOOS AOSO vas
this; About a foot off the ground
he built four pens side by side,
providing them with plank floors.
The pens were about three feet
longer than the hogs and were so
narrow that the hogs could not
turn around in them. A shallow
trough was provided an the end
of each pen which could be taken
out and cleaned when required.
The pens were kept bedded with
straw. When the pens became
fouled they were thoroughly
cleaned out with a hoe. Then
new bedding material was put
in. The pens were built on the
south side of an outbuilding and
during rainy weather loose planks
we're laid across the top. In fair
weather the planks were remov-
ed giving the hogs the benefit of
the sunshine. The hogs were
fed four times a day and when
they were being fed they were
allowed no more than they
would eat up clean, but at each
feeding were given all they
would eat.
The owner and his family were
very particular about feeding
and watering the hogs at regu-
lar periods. They were particu-
lar too in keeping their pens
clean. A large amount of the
food consumed by those hogs
was cooked in a big iron kettle,
several different kinds of food
being mixed together. Those
hogs fattened with great rapid
ty, could hardly more than stand
up on their feet, and it was al
most impossible for them to get
up after lying down. This plan
may be considered "crate feed
ing" for it is just about the same
as that followed by those who
fatten chickens in large numbers
for the market. Where one has
only four or a half dozen hogs,
especially fully matured animals,
and considers only the matter of
meat and lard making this plan
may be all right, but l had rath-
allow the hogs at least enough
room to move about during the
fattening process. / do not,
however, want them to get very
much exercise.
In fattening hogs one days
poor feeding will more than off
set two days Of good feeding.
Corn is a mighty fine feed for
the purpose of fat making, but
it is a mistake to rely wholly up
on it. / have known some to
feed their hogs entirely on corn
and after a while the animals
were burned out" and not gain.
ing a bit. Their appetite and di.
gestion were impaired and the
animals came to ''standstill" and
it was good while before they
overcame the backset. Corn is
one of our best fatteniug feeds,
in fact we may consider it the
best, but unless we feed it as we
should we are not going to get
the best results from it When
hogs have not been use to corn
at every feed, or have not had
any for a long time, it should be
fed ii small quantities at first,
gradually increasing the amount
as the animals become use to it,
until they are on full feed.
We never feed our hogs very
much corn until about four OF
five weeks before they are to be
slaughtered. Then we keep corn
before them all the time and in
addition we supply them with
mill feeds. alfalfa and clover hay
steamed until tender, turnips,
artichokes, peas and in fact any
kinds of foods that will put fat
on them and make wholesome
meat.
1 A variety of feed will put fat
on a hog more quickly and cheap
ly than will any single kind. II
