ly sunim:irizecl: (1) Provide suitable 

 food, but do not over-feed; (2) empha- 

 size tlie protein and asli constituents 

 of the ration; (3) keep the sow grow- 

 ing thrifty, but do not fatten; (4) de- 

 vise schemes to induce exercise; (,"») 

 provide warm, dry, well bedded, well 

 ventilated and sun-lit quarters; (G) 

 avoid constipation by natural feeding 

 methods, but resort to emergency rem- 

 edies if necessary; (7) kill off lice 

 with crude oil, and drive out worms 

 with santonin and calomel; (8) prac- 

 tice gentleness at all times. Hog men 

 cannot afford to neglect any of these 

 cardinal points when the cost of pro- 

 duction is so high. Within the next 

 seven to nine weeks most of the brood 

 sows and gilts will farrow. Our inves- 

 tigations tell us that 00 per cent of the 

 dry matter in the imborn yoimg of 

 the sow and gilt is deposited in utero 

 during the last sixty days of preg- 

 nancy. This being so it is wise to 

 provide for the needs of the gilts and 

 sows within this time by increasing 

 their daily wintering rations from 50 

 to 75 per cent. 



Rations for Sows and Gilts Before 

 Farrowing Time. — (1) Barley meal, 75 

 lbs.; chopped alfalfa hay, 15 lbs.; tank- 

 age, 10 lbs.; rutabagas or carrots. 

 (2) Ground oats, 45 lbs.; barley meal, 

 45 lbs.; tankage, 10 lbs.; alfalfa hay 

 in racks; rutabagas or carrots. (3) 

 Ground oats, 50 lbs.; middlings, 50 

 lbs.; alfalfa hay or clover hay. In 

 the farrowing pen there shouhl be a 

 rail set eight inches from the floor 

 and six inches to eight inches from 

 the wall, to prevent the sow from 

 crushing her pigs. Provide just a 

 small amount of bedding for the sow 

 to make her nest. For a few hours 

 after farrowing the sow needs no feed 

 other than water which has been suf- 

 ficiently warmed to remove the chill. 

 After 18 to 24 hours she should have 

 a warm feed of this shorts slop, .\fter 

 that time the feed should be gradu- 

 ally increased imtil siie is receiving all 

 she requires, but no more. Insist upon 

 exercise. 



Rations for Sows With Sucking Pigs. 

 — (1) Barley, 30 lbs.; oats, 30 lbs.; 

 middlings, 20 lbs.; bran, 12 lbs.; tank- 

 age, 8 lbs. (2) Barley, 50 lbs.; shorts, 

 20 lbs.; bran, 15 lbs.; oil meal, 10 lbs.; 

 tankage, 5 lbs. (3) Ground oats, 50 

 lbs.; middlings, 50 lbs.; skim milk. 

 Provide early pastin-e for the sows 

 and their young. Winter rye and rape 

 are as good as alfalfa, and are ready 

 when most required.
