Wintering  Fall  Pigs  Successfully 
My  experience  in  raising  Fall  pigs  is 
somewhat  extensive,  and  while  1  have  al¬ 
ways  obtained  a  good  profit  from  them  I 
have  never  been  able  to  make  them  pay  as 
well  as  Spring  pigs,  because  of  extra  care 
they  must  receive  during  Winter,  ami  lack 
of  green  forage.  The  great  point  in  mak¬ 
ing  t fie  Fall  pigs  make  us  money  is  to 
keep  them  growing  throughout  the  Win¬ 
ter.  Dry  warm  sleeping  quarters  are 
quite  essential.  Good  ventilation  is  very 
necessary.  Drafts  must  be  excluded  from 
the  sleeping  pens.  It  is  not  necessary, 
nor  is  it  desirable,  that  large  quantities 
of  bedding  be  used,  lmt  the  bedding  ought 
the  pigs  are  compelled  to  consume  it 
slowly,  with  the  result  that  it  becomes 
more  thoroughly  mixed  with  the  gastric 
juices  and  better  assimilation  results 
than  if  it  contained  a  large  amount  of 
water. 
After  the  pigs  receive  their  slop  morn¬ 
ing  and  evening  they  are  also  fed  steamed 
Alfalfa.  This  they  eat  on  a  concrete 
feeding  floor.  In  steaming  the  Alfalfa  I 
place  it  in  a  tank  heater,  pour  water  over 
it  and  cook  it  until  it  is  tender.  This  is 
not  only  good  feed  for  growing  pigs,  but 
fine  for  brood  sows.  I  supply  the  pigs 
with  clean  water  three  times  a  day.  the 
water  being  warmed  enough  to  remove

to  be  changed  at  least  once  each  week,  aud 
as  much  oftener  as  conditions  may  re¬ 
quire.  During  snowy  weather  it  may  be¬ 
come  necessary  to  change  the  bedding 
each  day,  as  pigs  will  carry  no  small 
amount  of  snow  into  their  sleeping  quar¬ 
ters.  Rye  straw  makes  excellent  bed¬ 
ding,  especially  if  run  through  a  cutting 
box.  Wheat  straw  is  good,  but  oat  straw 
should  never  be  used  for  bedding  pigs. 
There  is  something  about  oat  straw  which 
irritates  the  skin  of  a  pig.  and  besides, 
oat  straw  packs  badly,  aud  is  less  "last¬ 
ing”  than  the  other  straws  named.  The 
sleeping  quarters  must  be  kept  clean  and 
free  from  dust.  Dust  is  peculiarly  in¬ 
jurious  to  pigs.  I  am  very  partial  to  the 
use  of  crude  petroleum  for  allaying  dust 
in  the  hogliouse.  Oil  is  an  excellent  dis¬ 
infectant  and  insecticide.  By  spraying 
the  sleeping  quarters  with  crude  oil  once 
every  two  or  three  weeks  much  will  be 
contributed  to  the  comfort  and  thrift  of 
the  pigs. 
It  has  been  demonstrated  that  exer¬ 
cise  is  absolutely  essential  to  the  proper 
development  of  the  functional  activities 
of  the  pig.  Lack  of  exercise  is  a  serious 
handicap  to  the  Fall  pig,  and  because  of 
the  cold  weather  he  is  not  inclined  volun¬ 
tarily  to  take  enough  of  exercise.  If  the 
individual  or  "colony”  houses  are  used 
they  should  be  placed  at  the  back  of  the 
lots  farthest  removed  from  the  feeding 
troughs.  Thus  the  pigs  are  compelled  to 
indulge  in  a  considerable  amount  of  much 
needed  exercise.  Sunshine  is  almost  as 
important  as  food  and  veutilatiou. 
Whitewashing  the  inside  of  the  hogliouse 
is  an  excellent  practice.  Lime  is  a  good 
disinfectant,  and  whitewash  will  mate¬ 
rially  increase  the  light.  When  sunshine 
strikes  a  whitewashed  wall  much  of  (lie 
light  is  reflected  to  the  floor,  and  does  a 
great  deal  of  good.  If  dark  quarters 
must  be  used  much  improvement  will  be 
observed  if  whitewash  is  used  liberally. 
In  feeding  my  pigs  in  Winter  the  feed 
is  always  supplied  warm.  If  skim-milk 
or  buttermilk  with  which  to  mix  the 
grains  is  available,  and  if  the  feed  is 
given  at  regular  hours  and  in  reasonable 
quantities,  there  will  be  no  disappoint¬ 
ment  in  the  growth  of  Fall  pigs  in  Win¬ 
ter  if  the  housing  is  properly  attended  to. 
In  the  absence  of  milk  an  excellent  sub¬ 
stitute  will  be  found  in  digester  tankage, 
fed  at  the  rate  of  10  pounds  of  tankage  to 
100  pounds  of  corn  meal  or  other  grain. 
In  cold  weather  I  have  found  it  a  very 
good  plan  to  mix  a  barrelful  of  feed  in 
scalding  water,  allowing  it  to  stand  for 
1-  hours,  by  which  time  it  will  have  cooled 
down  to  a  proper  temperature  for  feeding. 
I  feed  warm  slop  morning  and  evening 
and  shelled  corn  at  noon.  I  mix  the  slop 
about  as  thick  as  it  can  be  poured.  Thus 
the  chill.  Young  pigs  are  subject  to  va¬ 
rious  kinds  of  intestinal  worms,  and  a 
splendid  aid  in  eliminating  them  is  the 
liberal  use  of  wood  ashes,  salt  and  char- 
% 
coal.  For  pigs,  and  all  hogs  other  than 
sows  in  pig,  I  take  two  pounds  of  cop¬ 
peras  and  mix  it  with  50  pounds  of  wood 
ashes  and  charcoal,  and  place  it  under  a 
roof  where  the  pigs  may  help  themselves 
freely.  This  mixture  is  “seasoned”  with 
a  little  salt,  which  element  is  just  as  es¬ 
sential  to  a  pig  as  to  any  other  domestic 
animal.  While  the  copperas  is  equally  as 
good  for  sows  iu  pig  as  other  hogs,  it  is 
liable  to  cause  abortion.  Cob  charcoal  is 
greatly  relished  by  pigs,  and  where  cobs 
are  available  they  may  easily  be  con¬ 
verted  into  a  valuable  feed.  Dig  a  bole 
about  five  feet  deep,  five  feet  iu  diameter, 
and  with  slightly  sloping  sides.  Start  a 
fire  with  a  few  cobs  and  keep  adding  cobs 
as  fast  as  they  ignite.  When  the  whole 
mass  is  glowing  red  have  a  couple  of  bar¬ 
rels  of  water  handy  in  which  40  pounds 
of  salt  has  been  dissolved,  and  pour  this 
water  over  the  whole  mass,  then  cover  the 
top  of  the  pit  with  a  large  piece  of  sheet 
iron,  placing  some  earth  around  the  edges 
to  exclude  all  the  air.  The  next  morning 
there  will  be  a  valuable  lot  of  charcoal, 
which  the  pigs  will  turn  to  excellent  use.

Inclosed  you  will  find  clipping  from  the 
“Pasadena  Star-News,”  in  which  yon  will 
find  a  statement  of  the  proportions  of  the 
consumer's  dollar,  which  each  person 
handling  the  milk  gets.  Is  it  true  in  so 
far  as  the  farmer  is  concerned,  especially 
around  New  York  City?  In  reading  The 
It.  X.-Y.  I  have  been  led  to  believe  that 
he  did  not  receive  as  ranch  as  that,  and 
I  would  appreciate  it  if  you  let  me  know 
just  what  part  he  does  receive.  M.  J.  G, 
Altadena,  Cal. 
This  is  a  fair  sample  of  what  you  can 
do  with  figures:  Here  is  a  newspaper 
printing  an  article  to  show  that  the  far¬ 
mer  gets  nearly  50  per  cent,  of  the  con¬ 
sumer’s  price  of:  milk  sent  to  New  York 
City,  anil  they  state  that  the  figures  are 
given  on  (fovernmout  authority.  When 
we  came  to  analyze  them  we  find  that 
these  figures  are  taken  from  an  adver¬ 
tisement  printed  in  the  New  York  papers 
by  one  of  the  large  distributors.  They 
obtained  these  figures  by  stating  what 
they  paid  for  milk,  and  then  the  average 
of  what  they  receive  for  it,  but  a  large 
part  of  the  last  figure  was  made  up  of 
wholesale  prices.  The  milk  was  sold  once, 
or  even  twice  again  before  it  came  to  the 
final  consumer  as  it  passed  through  two 
or  three  middlemen  before  the  consumer 
drank  it  out  of  a  glass  or  poured  it  into 
his  coffee.  This  is  a  fair  sample  of  the 
so-called  statistics  which  the.  daily  papers 
are  feeding  out  to  their  readers,  The  fact 
is  that  in  order  to  get  their  story  fairly 
before  the  consumers,  the  farmers  will  be 
obliged  to  gather  their  own  statistics  and 
trace  their  products  right  through  from 
the  farm  to  the  city  consumer.  Such 
figures  are  worth  far  more  than  the  so-
