And still the horses blinked, Michael

the sow from thin condition into

short time. When this is done she
Will be in proper condition to assume
her duty when breeding time arrives.
If the sow is bred in a thin, rundown
condition, she must resume work i'm
mediately, and she will naturally be
weak and subject to the inroads of
disease. A little cold contracted in this
condition may cause death, while a
strong healthy SOW will resist such at
tacks. 1t IS the general belief that
sows in good vigorous breeding condi-
ton conceive more readily. thus short
ening the narrowing period for the
| herd.
Two Littcrs Year.
There is no good reason why SOW
should not produce two litters Il year
when properly handled. To accomplish
| this the SOW should re bred to farrow,
say, for example, in march, and bred
again to farrow the early part of Sep
TENDER. A sow bred about November
10 will farrow about March to 9. The
pigs should nurse eight weeks. The
SOW should be rebred by May 20 so as
to farrow on or after September 8. The
pigs could then nurse until November
3. The chances for profitably rearing
two crops of pigs from SOW annually
are undoubtedly far better in regions
OF mild climate and short winters than
where the winters are long and severe.
Management During Pregnancy.
During pregnancy two facts must be
borne in mind. The first is that the
sow is doing double duty Not only is
she keeping up her own bodily func-
tons, but the development of the litter

Where pastures are very luxuriant 1t
is possible to carry breeding sows on

Age Of Breeding.

breed her before she is eight months
