SOWS SHOULD FARR0W IN
EARLY SPRING AND FALL
Pigs Can Then Take Advantage OF
Grazing Crops and Avoid Extremes
of Temperature-Feed OF Sow
Needs Careful Regulation.


In Louisiana the breeding of sows
ehould be SO timed that the spring ut
fers WI come about the first OF
March and the fall litters about the
first of September. At these times OF
the year the small pigs are less liable
to suffer from the extremes OF tempe
rature, and can take advantage OF the
grazing crops when in their prime.
The care of a litter of pigs should
begin before it is farrowed. because
the conditions to which the SOW Is
subjected has much to 40 with the
strength and vitality Of the pigs at
birth. Feeding should be carefully
regulated for about week before and
after farrowing. Overfeeding Is
common fault at this time, especially
OF feeds that are high in carbohy-
drates and fats, such as corn and r1ce
polish. These should be gradually re-
duced, and entirely eliminated several
days before farrowing time. The feeu
should not be of heating, or energy
producing kind, but rather cooling and
laxative in it's effect. Wheat bran Is
a good feed during this period, and
even this should be withheld for at
least twenty-four hours after farrow-
ing, giving nothing but fresh water.
The pigs will not take great deal
of milk the first week, and no ehort
should be made to bring the SOW to
flow Of milk until the pigs require It.
Too much milk at first not only causes
scours and digestive disorders in the
pigs, but often leads to udder trou-
bles in the sow. The feed should be
gradually increased, but not brought
up to a full ration before the pigs are
ten days old. 1t is not necessary to
begin feeding heavily as soon as the
milk secretion has stopped, even
though the BOW Is thin In flesh. Her
system has gone through strenuous
drain, and should have a complete
rest for a time. The nearer she ID
kept in good physical condition on
pasture alone the better'it will be Tor
her. BY the time her next CESSATION
period is half spent she will need some
concentrated feed. The demands on
her system during the last half OF the
CESSATION period is greater than dur
ing the first half; and the sows are
few in number that can meet this de-
mand on grazing alone. however good
the grazing crop is. A. r. Moist.

BUILD UP POULTRY FLOCK
BY CAREFUL BREEDING.

There is probably no one pracuce
which will do so much to destroy the
efficiency of the farm poultry flock az
the old method of indiscriminate
breeding from every bird kept on the
farm. Mass breeding means rapid de-
terioration; proper selection means
improvement.
Every poultry raiser should provide
means for keeping small pen OF Sc
lected birds separate from the remain
der OF the flock during the breeding
season. Where a separate house and
yard is not available. this can be ac-
complished by putting temporary
partition in the roosting house and
providing wire-enclosed yard out
side.
The prime essential of a good breed
ing bird is vigor and vitality. When
the chicks are first Matched, one will
often notice some which are smaller
than the rest; chicks which do not
dry off" well; chicks which show q
protruding abdomen. or chicks which
show other abnormal characteristics.
Many of the chicks will apparently
overcome these troubles, and they will
be quickly forgotten unless some
means is taken to mark them so they
can be readily identified at any time.
All of these defects point to a weak
constitution, and mean that such
chicks should never be used for breed.
ing purposes. no matter how etrone
they may look later. Perhaps the SAT.
est way to mark such chicks is by
cutting OF one of the middle toes
Perform this operation with sharp
knife or pair of scissors, making the
cut right at one of the toe-joints. In
this way it will cause the bird very
little pain or Inconvenience. The time
to do this is just as soon as any de
feet is noticed, such as those mention
ed. which points to weak vitality.
While the young chicks are grow
ing there will occasionally be seen a
bird which is sick. which is not feath
ering out properly. which does moi
grow as rapidly as others from the
same hatch, or which shows some 9th
er weakness. Just as soon as any oi
these points are noticed, mark thai
chicken. II this practice of marking
the weak chicks is rigidly followed
from time of hatch to maturity, and
even after maturity, one will know
that all birds not having the mark art
those which have never shown indi
cations of weakened vitality. They
are the cream OF the flock"
The strongest of the unmarked
birds should then be selected. The
vigorous. healthy bird will show large
bone, comparatively short. stou
