Pigs Need Special
Care Immediately
After Being Born

In discussing the care of pigs newly
born. Prof Morton of the Colorado
Agricultural College says: pigs
should be taken out into the sun Just
as soon as the weather will permit,
ad the sow should be compelled to
come some distance for her feed SO
that she will keep up her exercise. II
she starts eating pigs at birth or
shortly after, it is probably due to ex-
tire emconstipaIion and feverish con-
dition as result of improper feeding
or lack OF exercise. A dose of salts
will do much more good than feed
ing raw pork or meat OF any. kind.
Where SOW has too many pigs
some OF them may be transferred to
another sow, as many as she can
handle, provided this is done within
few days after the sow with the
smaller number has farrowed. so that
the extra pigs put upon her can de-
velop teats for themselves Before
making the transfer. the strange pigs,
as well as the sow's own pigs. should
be brushed lightly over with coal oil
so that their odor may destroyed. A
sow is able to determine her own pigs
only by the odor and not by color or
appearance
