FEEDING THE UNWEANED PIGS.
[National Crop Improvement Service ]
At two or three weeks of age the
pigs will begin to manifest an inter¬
est in the food of the sow. At this
time unweaned pigs should have a low
set trough barred to keep away the
bigger pigs, and they should be en¬
couraged to go to it to satisfy their
hunger. The use therein of sweet milk
and a little mill feed or pig meal will
soon induce them to eat a great deal
iu this way, thus supplementing the
milk of the sow and hastening their
sturdy growth.
Weaning at four weeks of age Is usu¬
ally not of good practice; if not ac¬
tually cruel, the change is too sudden
for best results.
Two litters a year may be had if the
pigs are encouraged to eat while still
nursing, and if they are not weaned
until six or eight weeks of age. This
probably is the better practice.
When pigs are left with the sow for
periods as long as ten to twelve weeks
she will wean them hersedf, but it is
time wasted, for two litters are ini
possible.
When weaning takes place the sow
should be returned to the pigs two or
three times so that the udders may
be milked out.
MATURE HOGS QUICKLY.
The hog which weighs from 200 to
260 pounds is the hog which the pack¬
er wants and is the cheapest and best
hog the farmer can raise. According
to Doctor Henry, the amount of grain
required per hundred pounds of gain
is as follows:
Weight of hog*. Fcr 100 lbs. gain.
1(0 to 150 lbs....................437 lbs. of feed
150 to 200 lbs..................482 lbs. of feed
200 to 260 lbs...................498 lbs. of feed
260 to 300 lbs...................611 lbs. of feed
300 to 360 lbs...................635 lbs. of feed
From the farmers’ standpoint there
ii greater profit in putting hogs on the
market at 200 to 260 pounds.
In marketing hogs young, the risk of
loss from disease is also lessened.
He Is therefore justified in feeding
the very best feeds obtainable whilo
the hog is capable of making hit
greatest gains.
BEGIN TO RAISE HOGS.
[National Crop Improvement Service ]
Those who have not been raising
their pork and bacon should get a good
gilt ns soon as possible and begin.
It Is hard to estimate the value of a
good brood sow, which can produce
two litters of pigs a yestr. It will h«
more economical in the end to buy a.
purebred and raise good pigs. You can
always sell registered stock because
the demand is greater than the supply.
As a rule purebred sows or gilts are
better feeders and will respond to good
care better than scrubs. All swine
should he purebred, but not necessarily
registered, although registering adds to
their sale value.
With a bred gilt, or one to be bred
to farrow early in the spring, it need
not take one long to raise enough hoga
for the farm meat supply.
We will not miss our German frank¬
furters if every farm home will learn
how to cure meat and to make pork
sausage and specialties. Every produc¬
er of pork should cure his own hams
and sides—at least enough to meet
the demands of his own household and
his own hired labor. Home-cured hums
and bacon are always in demand
among your neighbors, provided of
course that you do a good job. You
cannot expect to get a good price for
inferior work.
Hogs will turn pasture and grain In
Jo hiore and quicker meat than other
animals, and do it most economically
of all. Start now and start right. Get
good animals and interest the boys la
the game.
SELF FEEDERS.
[National Crop Improvement Service.]
Hog raisers with self feeders can
keep more hogs than they could oth¬
erwise. The members of the boys’ pig
club and the county agent should con¬
fer with the lumber yard and prepare
plans and specifications which will
avoid many of the evils Incident to the
average feeder built without thought.
In some counties building bees have
been held by the county agent and in
one county nearly a thousand self
feeders of the proper kind were built,
which caused an immediate Increase
of 2,600 more hogs on account of the
labor saving effected.
HOW TO KEEP BOYS ON THE
FARM.
Start your boy in with animals of
ids own, and arrange with him so that
nil of his profits may be his. Nothing
will send your boy to the factory so
quickly as to encourage him to raise
a pig and when sold put the money
Into your own jean» and tell hint tha t
