QUESTION OF WEAVING PIGS
Little porkers Should Remain With
Mother for at Least Ten Weeks,
Say Experts.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
At the conference of swine extern
sion workers Of United States de-
partment of agriculture, held recently
In Washington, the question of wean-
ing pigs arose. The discussion brought
out the fact that in some parts Of the
country farmers followed the practice
Of weaving their pigs at most all ages
from five weeks up. The conclusions
reached were that for best results pigs
should be allowed to nurse the SOW
for at least ten weeks where it Is
possible to do so. 1t was decided that
1t would be still better to allow the
pigs to wean themselves. A good
sucking SOW properly fed should be
In q good flow Of milk up to the time
the pigs are at least ten weeks of
age. Without question the mothers
milk Is the best feed possible to OBJ
tain for young pigs. Consequently
hog growers should take advantage Of
this natural feed to the greatest ex.
tent possible.
