OBTAIN TWO LITTERS A YEAR
When sows Are Given Best Of Feed
and Care This Is Good Way to
Increase Production.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
IL Is common practice among farm
ers to require their sows to produce
two filters year. Although the sows
have had good care. they will natural
ly be run down somewhat In condition,
because the greater portion of the feed
consumed has been utilized for the
production of milk.
The sow needs a rest before she Is
bred again, and the time for this Is
between the weaving and breeding Pc
RODS. Intelligent feeding will bring
the SOW from a thin condition into a
good, strong. vigorous condition In a
short time. When this is done she will
be in proper condition to assume her
duty when breeding time arrives II
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 dis |
ease. A little cold contracted In this |
condition may cause death, while a /
strong, healthy SOW will resist such |
attacks. 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. Alfalfa, rape, clover, or any pas
ture which is palatable to swine, with I
some grain in addition, is excellent
feed for bringing the sow back to
breeding condition.
There Is no good reason why a sow
should not produce two filters year
when properly handled. To accom-
plish this the sow should be bred to
farrow, say, for example, In March, and
bred again to farrow the early part
of September. A SOW bred about No
vember Is will farrow about March 9
to 9. The pigs should nurse eight
weeks. The sow should be rebred by
May 20 SO as to farrow on or after
September s. The pigs could then
nurse until November 3. The chances
for profitably rearing two crops of pigs
from a sow annually are undoubtedly
far better In regions OF mild climate
and short winters than where the win
tiers are long and severe.
