strain Of nursing a litter Of pigs, and
her growth may be checked to such a
degree that she fully develops.
A sow farrows 112 to lis days from
the date Of conception. BY keeping a
careful service record, the breeder Is
therefore able to determine accurately
when to expect the pigs and to make
his arrangements accordingly. For
convenient reference the CESSATION
table given herewith was arranged by
COburn to show the expected farrOw-
ing dates for service on any day Of the
year from January 1 to December 81.
Calculations are based on a 112-day
CESSATION period. The first line of dates
in each column indicates the dates Of
breeding and directly opposite In the
same column is the date on which the
SOW is due to farrOw.
1t Is common practice among farmers
to require their sows to produce two
filters a year. Although the sows have
had good care, they will naturally be
run down somewhat in condition, be-
cause the greater portion Of the food
consumed has been utilized for the pro
ductiOn of milk.

bred again, and the time for this is

is an increasing drain on her system.
Feeding at this time should be liberal,
although It need not be so heavy as
after the pigs are narrowed. A very
fat SOW is apt to be clumsy with her
pigs, and sometimes these are lacking
in vitality. On the other hand, a very
thin SOW will either not do justice to
her pigs or will become a mere wreck
herself during the time she Is nurs-

that both these things will happen. The
necessity Of exercise must not be over
looked under any circumstances. This
may be provided by a large lot or even
by driving the hogs slowly for a short
distance each day.
Corn should not be fed In large
amounts to breeding stock, because II
