Weaning Pigs

Too many farmers follow the practice Of weaning pigs when too young, many be- ing weaned at and weeks of age. good brood SOW properly 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, conse- quently it should be used to the greatest extenA possible. When the pigs are Of suckli{g age the SOW should be on full feed Unless there is some extraordinary reason for earlier weaning the pigs should not be weaned under the age of 10 weeks. and it is better to let them nurse until they are 12 or 14 yeeks old.s
 Often serious results follow weaning at too early an age. An entire change of feed following weaning may create seri- GUS trouble. If, however, pigs have access to corn, shorts, middlings or tankage, or fish meal in self-feeder placed in the open where they can eat at pleasure with out being disturbed by other pigs. they can be weaned at the age of 12 or IA weeks, with very little change in their feed, by allowing them to continue on the self feeder.
 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, alfalfa and red clover preferred. If these feeds ca mot be procured. rye. oats, barley, cowpeas, rape or sany other grain or grasses that will produce good forage in the locality, should be sown. The pigs should be watched closely to see that t.'ey are on their feed. If they are not, U e feed should be changed replacing corn with barley, and using skim milk or but termilk if possible. The pigs should be kept free from lice by the use of crude or good black oil. They must have access all times to good pure water. Shade must be provided during the hot summer months Natural shade is always best, but where this is not obtainable, tenn porary shade may be provided by setting posts and mailing boards on poles about three and one-hak or four feet from the ground and covering with straw or grass.
