Pigs Harmed When
Pushed Too Rapidly

Many farmers wean pigs ut TO
weeks OF age, when the brood sows
have a. good flow Of milk and are ca
pable OF maintaining the young In ex-
cel!ent condition and development al
less expense and trouble than the
young ,porkers could otherwise be
handled. Their mothers milk In one
0: the heat feeds available for grow
ing pigs. aud consequently II should
be used TO the greatest extent possible.
says the United States department of
agriculture.
When the pigs are from to weeks
old the SOW should be on full feed, un-
less for some extraordinary reason the
pigs should not be weaned until the
age of 10 weeks, and In such instances
ii is preferable to arrow them to run
with their mother until they are IL to
Ii weeks old. Where pigs are weaned
too early serious results often attend,
as the abrupt change in the character
of the ration many times creates seri-
our trouble. afr,
Where young pigs have access to
corn, shorts, middlings, tankage. or fish
meal, served to them cafeteria style in
a self-feeder, where they can eat II. at
their pleasure without being disturbed
by other hogs, the youngsters can be
weaned at the age of IL or IA weeks
without making any very radical
changes in their daily meals by sim
ply allowing them TO continue on the
self service system. If best results are
TO be obtained, the pigs must gain con-
tinuousiy and uniformly. until they are
ready for market. This necessitates
an abundance of feed as well as access
during the grazing season TO such valu-
able forage crops as alfalfa and red
clover. In sections where these legum-
ipous feeds can not be produced, rye,
oats, barley, cowpeas, rape. or any
other grain or grass which will pro-
duce good forage in the locality should
be grown for hog pasture. Hogs like
to harvest their own feed. In addition
to getting the feed in the freshest pos
sible condition, the young shoats also
derive benefits from the exercise In
rustling part OF their daily diet.
Every hog raiser Is advised b spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture to watch the
spring pigs closely to see that they are
on their feed: that Is. that the animals
have good appetites and eat their daily
allowances OF grain and grass with
relish and avidity. II pig shows in
dications OF being "off feed his own
er should change the ration, using bar
ley in place of corn and providing as
much skim milk or buttermilk as. is
available. He should also provide an
abundance of pure. fresh water for the
pigs as well as plenty Of shade during
the hot summer months. x
Freedom from lice means, hog COM
fort. This can he obtained by the plen-
tiful use Of Grade or black oil upon the
animals as well as in their quarters

the best, but where this is not obtain
able, temporary, shelter from the sun

by setting some posts TO which cross
pieces nre attached about 31s to feet
from the ground SO that a temporary
roof Of straw or grass may be provided
for the protection Of the hogs.

was n singular ract that this essay was
given first by the English department

Monies section of the dairy division.
This placing means that it was clearly

facts were correctsfrom a scientific and
nutrition point OF view.
THE nourishment of the children is

the success OF any nation depends
upon the full development Of its

essay, which shows that its writer
possesses more than q local point of
view

So many more schools entered the
contest than had been expected thar 1t
was not possible to provide local prizes

as those of the enemy-or the repeated
attacks of the subma rnes on our battle

never ending vigilance of the whole fleet
