BEST AGE FOR WEAVING PIGS
Good Plan to Let Porkers Nurse Unit.
Twelve or Fourteen Weeks Of
Age-keep Them Growing.

| prepared by the United States Depart

Too many farmers follow the prac-
ttce Of weaving pigs when too young,
many being weaned at six and sever.
weeks Of age. A good brood sow prop
erly fed has good flow of milk when
the pigs are of this age. There is no
better feed for growing pigs than their
mothers milk, consequently it should
be, used to the greatest extent pos
sible.' When the pigs are Of sucking
age the SOW should be on full feed.
Unless there is some extraordinary
reason for earlier weaving the pigs
should not be weaned under the age
of ten weeks, and it is better to let
them nurse until they are twelve or
fourteen weeks old.
Often serious results follow weaving
at too early an age. An entire change
of feed following weaving may create
serious trouble. If, however, pigs have
access to corn, shorts, middlings or
tankage, or fish meal in q self-feeder
placed in the open where they can eat
at pleasure without being disturbed by
other hogs, they can be weaned at the
age of twelve or fourteen weeks, with
very little change in their feed, by al
lowing them to continue on the self
feeder. %ts%
To obtain the best results pigs should
gain continuously until they are ready
for market. The best results will not
be obtained unless pigs have access all
the time possible to good forage crops.

these feeds cannot be procured rye,

SELECT PIGS FOR BREEDING
Animals Should Not Be Pushed, but
Kept Growing Nicely to Develop
Bono and Muscle.

Pigs selected for breeding purposes
should be kept growing nicely, but they
must not be pushed, for the whole OBJ
lect Of their feeding is to make them
stretch out and develop bone and
muscle In place Of fat. They should
be continued on a growing ration. A
little skim milk and shorts make a
good ration. A small amount Of
ground oats and cracked corn will help
develop and insure normal growth. But
corn should be used sparingly as it is
too fattening for pigs. Remember that
these pigs should also have an album
dance of green feeds. II
