We have all the late . . 1 i j 1 Care of Brood Sows In Winter For. early spring pigs select a well grown sow pig, preferably eight or more months old. if yon are Just start ing to raise porkers, say II. Tnickell In Itural New Yorker. Otherwise I as sume you hare your tiest and most prolific sows on hand. See that sbe has at least twelve teats. Slio should bo hearty and vigorous, as a shy reeuer Is a poor animal to breed from. Much is said as to mating a rather coarse sow with a boor finer In appearance. I believe In mating the best Individuals and certainly would not discard a sow because she showed plenty of quality. After mating the sow should have more nitrogenous ration tlAn the fat tening bogs. A few roots, or even silage, will add bulk and variety to tbo feed. Many breeders give a wisp of clover bay dally, ami It Is surprhting bow much of this a hog will eat. Keep her In good eonditlon, but not overfat. Ahoiit fourteen weeks after mating shift her to the farrowing pen, which riB or Tousa uerkshib bovts. should be roomy, dry and warm. This pen should be provided with a railing or fender around the sides. A 2 by 0 scantling spiked securely to fixed blocks six Inches high makes a good railing and may save a good pig from being lain on. The little fellows learn to snuggle under these fenders and keep out of danger. Borne breeders advocato bedding heavily, claiming the sow win lie away from the pigs and not make a nest, as when she Is scrimped for bed ding. However, we always bed spar ingly with chaff or the sweepings from the hay barn. We keep tbe pen dry and clean.: A damp pen Is responsible for many losses. J ' It Is advisable to watch a young sOw with her first litter and be on hand to render assistance if needed. If a sow has successfully raised one litter we let nature take Its course. A covered pail of hot ashes will elevate the tem perature of a bognen on a bitter Feb rnnrr or March nleht After the little pigs have sucked once they seldom get chilled- Feed sparingly ror tne nrsr, three days, then gradually Increaso to the capacity of the sow If the Utter 1$ large. Aire of Brood Sows. ' The length of time that a brood sow may be profitably kept Is determined by her capacity and power of giving a regular supply of milk for her young. Shortly, It may be said that she should be kept as long as she breeds and milks well, says American Cultivator. Con tinued selection and retention of tie best young sows for breeding purposes Is one of the most effective methods of Improving a herd of pigs. The opinion held by many that pigs from tho first litter of a young sow are inferior to those from subsequent litters Is not well founded. Quite as good pigs can'' be obtained from a young sow, pro Tided she Is well grown before produc ing her litter, as from the same sow at a later date. The keeping of sows for the production of pigs intended for sale at an early age Is a system prac ticed by many. Coarse boned, heavy eared, 111 shaped pigs look larger at tho age of eight weeks than well shaped ones. Such animals do not, however, meet the reauirements of the trade and are therefore not so profitable to the breeder. Many persons who feed pigs are of the opinion that animals which are plump and nicely shaped at an early age do not grow to a good size. No more mistaken view could possibly be held. Hoar Folntera. The hoe Is a thrifty animal when fed on the dairy wastes with a little grab added. Unless a sow Is unusually well fed, she will hardly come in heat while suckling her pigs. Usually the hog will thrive best that will squeal for bis feed at the regular feeding times. The thrift and condition of the moth er determine to a great extent what the pig will be. Beauty ba form and appearance is not a safe Indication of tbe value of a sow as a breeder. The quality of a bow's pigs when sho Is old determines when her days of usefulness are over. Best As to Fatten Cattle. The central experiment station farm at Ottawa, Canada, found by compar ing 1,000 pounds live weight In tho case of calves, yearlings, two and three year olds that tho profit for each 1,000 pounds was: Calves, 931; yearlings, f27; two-year-olds, 19.10; three-year-olds, $12.80. When all of the cattle of all ages was purchased at 4 cents a pound and sold fat at 6 cents a pound tbe profit oa $1,000 Invested In feeding cattls was: Calves, $557.80; yearlings, $284; two-year-olds, $108.75; three-year-olds. $177.50. 1 Value of Variety- I Batloa. No single grain ration meets the sa tire wants of tho young growing oq fattening animal In all cases end es pecially with pigs a good variety gives the best results. Dust, cobs and other filth should not bo allowed to accumu late on the feeding floors. Cleanliness In tbe feeding places win aid material ly In maintaining health.
