Naturally, it is hard for people
to believe that better business and
higher prices lie ahead. They feel
that every time they have tried to
make plans in the last few years
something unexpected has come
along and upset the apple cart. So
they have taken box seat on the
sidelines. They are keeping their
money in the bank or they are in
vesting in low-coupon bonds. They
are not expanding. Yet, if there
is any sound basis for their fears,
they are taking just as much
chance keeping their money in cash

by investing in stocks or new

from a group of Americas eminent

"For bedding, clean, dry straw

"Then the preparation Of the sow

"If the weather permits, the sow

pasture about 10 days or two weeks
after farrowing. This pasture should
not have been recently used for hogs.
However, if a man must use the
same field year after year, this
ground should be plowed in the fall
and sowed to rape, clover, rye, or

Speaking Of feeding, which plays
just as important a part in hog rails
ing as sanitation, there are some def
mite recommendations I would like to
make" says Hamel. Plenty Of sow's
milk counts for more than anything
else in the early growth and devel-
opment of young pigs. When the
sow has full udders the sucking pigs
come right along. But if the udders
are not full of milk-it's an alto
gether different pig story.
'"To give sows the things they need
to make lots of milk is definitely
job for feed" he says. "Her feed
must contain balanced milk making
ingredients to keep her udders
filed. Purina experiments show
that a special nursing ration is
needed for this purpose. Out of
many feeding tests at our Expert
mental Farm has been developed
Purina Sow and Pig Chow. It's made
of IL different ingredients, includ-
ing several sources of animal and
vegetable proteins and the new vita
min G (flavin) ingredient-Puri-
Flave. It Is built to take care Of
the sow's requirements during the
nursing period; also to provide for
the needs Of the young pigs until
they attain so lbs. weight.
Vaccination Of pigs for hog
cholera at S to 6 weeks Of age is
recommended, If at all possible.
