shelter. My best breeding months are in the winter; I raised 280 in 
January, 187 in February, and 163 in March. I kept my place between 65 
to 70 degrees all the three months, so you see my. average was good, for 
three of the coldest months in the year. I’m not saying that you cannot 
keep pigs out doors, if you have a place so they can get in and out of the 
strong winds and snow, but you cannot do any breeding because a sow is 
too busy keeping warm. I have tried it and found that it was wasting time 
and losing many of my. young pigs. Nine times out of ten, you would lose 
the sow, for I have stood and watched her trying to clean them. She would 
clean the first one all right, but when the other ones arrived the first one 
would freeze by the time she got them all dried. They were frozen stiff 
and in the next few days she would be dead, or not fit to breed again. 
So I think I have made my idea very plain. The main thing in the 
Cavy business is to use common sense. If you do that you will be the 
winner. The main things I want to remind you of, are, always have plenty 
of good ventilation, plenty of sun light, good clean hay and good oats.
