FALL FARROWED PIGS NEED GOODATTENTION Georgia must grow approximately 72,318,000 pounds of pork in addition to what she did last year in order to furnish a sufficient amount for home consumption. To this end the very best of care should be given fall lit ters to see that no pigs are- lost through lack of proper attention at far rowing time. Housing of some kind is absolutely necessary if a large per cent of the pigs farrowed are to be saved. If put under a roof, fewer pigs are laid upon and killed. Very young pigs exposed to rain and cold weather easily con tract thumps, rheumatism, or bronchi tis and die quickly. A dry house will save most of the pigs that die young. Specifications for building small, port able hog houses may be obtained by writing to the Engineering Depart ment, State College of Agriculture. Special attention should be given to the sow just before she is to farrow. A week or ten days before the date of farrowing she should be separated from the rest of the herd and provid ed with shelter. If possible, still keep her on pasture. Keep the sow’s bow els always in a laxative condition, as constipation at this time means trou ble in farrowing. Such feeds as pas ture grass, wheat brand and shorts, and either buttermilk or skim milk will be valuable in this respect. After farrowing the sow should not be fed for at least a day. A cool drink of fresh clear water, skim milk or but termilk is all that she will need. Feed should be given as a slop for the first week or ten days, after which the sow should gradually be put on a grain diet. Legume pasture and milk along with the grain will make the litter grow as nothing else can. Pigs should be encouraged to eat corn as soon as pos sible and should be eating grain well before they are weaned at eight weeks of age.—(lra W. Arthur, State Col lege of Agriculture.) LIVE POULTRY NOTES ! TO SUET YOUR NEEDS l Remove Unhealthy Chicks And Pay Close Attention To Sanitation Since chickens, if forced to, can take care of themselves on the farm at this time of the year, the growing stock is often neglected. However, good care should be given especially at this time. When the chicks are about six -weeks old a mixture of one part oats and two parts cracked corn can be substi tuted for the chick feed. Dry mash, sour milk and fresh water should al ways be kept before them. Plenty of j shade and an abundance of green feed will do much toward keeping the chicks in a healthy condition. Crowding in hot, poorly ventilated houses at night will reduce any gain a chick may make on the range during the day. An indication of crowding is the dying of chicks one at a time and a poor, thin, droopy condition. There should be 4 chicks to the square foot of floor space in the colony house, and they should be taught to roost while young by putting the roost about 12 inches above the floor. Separating the sexes as soon as pos sible will make the pullets grow much faster, prevent crowding and reduce the cost of raising. The male birds that are not wanted for breeding pur poses should either be confined to a small pen for fattening or they should be caponlzed. Instructions for capon izing may be secured by writing the Poultry Department of the State Col lege of Agriculture. Cleanliness in caring for chicks can not be emphasized too much. Wet, floppy mashes or mouldy feeds should not be used. The dish in which the sour milk is fed should be washed at least once a day and care should be taken that the milk has not become mouldy. Clean water is very essential to the health of chicks since it acts as a tonic. The body contains about 65 iper cent water. All chicks with lim ber neck, colds, sorehead or chicken pox should be removed from the flock as soon as possible. To clean chicken houses spray with a solution of one part of crude car bolic acid to three parts of kerosene oil. Another spray of one hundred parts whitewash to one part crude carbolic acid is perhaps even better. When crude carbolic acid cannot be obtained either creosote or some good Btook dip can be substituted. At this time many hens have stop ped laying on account of old age, lack of proper food or moultiness. These birds should either be killed or sold and especially those over three years old showing the above symptoms. Prop er feeding will do as much as any other one thing to start the flock lay ing early in the fall. Rape may be planted in September or October to furnish green feed for chickens throughout the winter. —(W’. H. Allen, Btate College of Agriculture.) i Sheriff Sale. Sheriff Sale.
