PERSONAL ATTENTION TO
PIGS WILL REDUCE
HIGH MORTALITY.

Faithful, personal attention to
the SOwS at narrowing time, even
though it means long hours of
hard work by day and by night,
. is the only assurance that the
1918 war litters can be made to
. reach the necessary high aver
age. The hog grower who is on
; the job at this season will be
able to save the lives of many
pigs that might otherwise perish
in passing through the hazards
; of the first few days. In ex-
tremely cold weather the pigs
; will be in danger of chilling un-
less the hog house is heated.
To remedy this, place a few
heated bricks in the bottom of
a basket or small box. Cover
. with chaff or straw and put a
cloth over the top to keep In
. the heat. Unless the SOW OBJ
jects too seriously the pigs may
be rubbed dry with a soft cloth
and placed in a receptacle as
fast as they arrive. The de-
tails of attention which the SOW
and the pigs need at narrowing
. time are set forth in recently
; revised publication of the Unit
ed States Department of Agri-
) culture, "Swine Management"

AIM TO REDUCE
Pig MORTALITY
Serious Attention Demanded at
FarrOWing Time to Save
LitterS This Year.
FEEDING S0WS IS IMPORTANT
Get Plans Of Practicable Hog House
From Federal or State Sources
Good Quarters Are One of
Best Investments.
Save the war litters!


Every owner of a brood sow, wheth-
er he lives on large farm and has
many, or whether he is a suburbanite
and owns one, should feel a personal
responsibility to see that the pig lit
ters born this spring are received
with the utmost care. That means the
matter of providing proper housing
for the brood sows, and their young
should have immediate attention. Saw
ing every pig possible in order that
one of the most urgent war needs of
the natiOn-more pork-can be sup
piled, should be the aim of every man
who owns hogs.
The high mortality among young
pigs in some parts of the country can
be materially reduced if proper hous-
ing and feed are provided for the sows.
Investigations of the mortality among
pigs on the reclamation projects show
that approximately One-third of the
pigs born die before reaching the wean-
ing age. Losses on several northern
projects last season were even above
this average because of a severe sea-
son. According to one investigation
which covered about fifty herds, repre-
senting $50 brood sows, the average
loss was about 80 per cent, while some
farmers lost so to 20 per cent of the
pigs

Hold to Breeding Stock.

Every farmer should hold fast to his
breeding stock and raise two litters of
pigs year from each brood SOW. This
is the patriotic thing to do, and will
doubtless prove highly profitable as
well.

both before and after the pigs are
born.
1t has been found that the larger
losses usually occur on farms where
the housing facilities are poor. In
one investigation it was learned that
where good hog houses were used,
the average number of pigs raised in
a litter was 5A, while on farms where
the housing was poor the average num-
ber reared from each litter was only
3 40. The average saving, therefore
where good houses were used, amount
ed to more than two pigs to the litter.
There are many kinds of satisfac-
tory hog houses which can be built at
comparatively low cost. Anyone of
these will soon pay for itself in the in
creased number of pigs saved. Both
the individual house and the colony
hog house have a place on the hog
farm. Both give very satisfactory re-
suits if they are properly constructed.
If only one can be had the colony
house usually is to be preferred, eS-
pecially where large number of Sows
are to be kept. The farrOwing period
usually extends over several weeks if
there are many sows. In such cases
each pen in the house may be used for
two or more sows during the period.
Assuming that two sows use pen and
that by reason of the satisfactory quar-
ters provided two additional pigs are
saved in each litter, it would not be
long until the hog house paid for it
self. Good quarters are one of the
best investments the swine grower can
make.
Satisfactory Houses.
The satisfactory hog house provides
warmth, dryness, abundance of light,
ventilation, sanitation, and comfort.
To meet these requirements the house
need not be expensive. AS a matter of
fact, many expensive hog houses are
not satisfactory, because they do not
possess all these requirements, while
many less expensive ones properly
planned and built give excellent salts
faction. Information as to details and
suggested plans of buildings may be
obtained from field representatives of
the department of agriculture or from
the state agricultural colleges.
The care given the brood SOW, es-
pecially in her feeding, is equally i'm
portant. Help on this point can be OBJ
tained from bulletins which state ag-
ricultural colleges or the q. S. depart
ment Of agriculture will furnish.
