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.)

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,
