duces large litters has proven to be more 
likely to throw large litters than small 
ones. Some breeds seldom farrow more 
than six pigs to a litter and more often 
less than this number. Other sows go on 
year after year farrowing 14 to 16 pigs 
while only 10 or 12 of these can he 
raised. I would rather have a sow that 
will farrow from eight to 10 healthy pigs 
at a time and raise them. However, eco¬ 
nomical production demands that the 
standard should seldom go lower than 
seven or eight pigs at a farrow. Mate 
the boar possessing those peculiarities of 
form prized by the market to such long 
bodied sows and the resulting pigs will 
grow quickly. Even though they do not 
top the market, one can hardly afford to 
sacrifice fecundity for the shorter body. 
Parasites And Diseases. —Hogs have 
lice; they also have mange or scab which 
is a parasitic ailment. Should brood 
sows or stock boars be suffering from 
these parasites, the coal tar products in 
some form will afford relief if used per¬ 
sistently. The scourge of the hog breed¬ 
ing industry is hog cholera. A few days 
ago, I read a description of this germ 
and, in fact, a few years ago, the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture thought they had 
isolated the hog cholera organism but 
later found out that they had been misled 
by an organism which produced a similar 
though not exactly the same disease. At 
present, we are at sea on this whole 
proposition. The true germ, if there be 
one, has as yet not been seen. In all 
events, the disease is highly transmis¬ 
sible and all possible precautions should 
be taken against its entrance into a herd 
of breeding hogs. As has been noted be¬ 
fore, a brood sow having true hog cho¬ 
lera will usually abort. The cholera 
may take the sow off quickly or she may 
I linger along for a year or so and finally 
recover. In this case, it has been no¬ 
ticed that she will never have the disease 
again and it is claimed that the pigs 
from such an immune sow are somewhat 
immune also. The immunity, however, 
is not claimed to last into the second 
generation; it stops with the first. As 
to whether there is any real immunity, 
we cannot be absolutely sure. I have 
heard farmers and stockmen scoff at the 
idea that hog cholera is a transmissible 
disease, yet a yard full of dead and ail¬ 
ing animals is hardly a spectacle calcu¬ 
lated to excite a scoff. Keeping the pigs 
healthy and clean will increase their re¬ 
sistance to the disease, but an ounce of 
prevention of infection is worth a thou¬ 
sand pounds of cure, in the case of hog 
cholera. Our very ignorance of its trans¬ 
mission should be enough to cause us to 
avoid it. The problem of the hog breeder 
is to supply the market with what it 
wants and at the same time, keep up the 
vigor and prolificacy of the herd. Avoid 
any breeding practices that will decrease 
animal vigor and hence increase liabil¬ 
ity to losses. I. J. MATHEWS. 
Michigan. 
What’s Wrong With the Pigs ? 
T HE average farmer does not fully ap¬ 
preciate his losses in this line. If 
his sow farrows a litter of nine pigs, 
which cost him each, say 40 cents to de¬ 
liver on farrowing day, then if he loses 
say three of them the first few days, it 
brings the cost of his remaining six pigs 
up to 60 cents at birth; besides, it re¬ 
duces his raw material which later may 
be sold at weaning time or as pork. 
Every hog breeder is concerned with this 
subject, and they are all attempting to 
solve the problem. 
I believe that many of the hogs on the 
farm are too closely bred to their own 
near kin. This will cause the pigs to 
be inactive; they will not show the pro¬ 
per energy to nurse during the first day 
or two, consequently lying around too 
much making them liable to thumps and 
scours, unless the keeper understands 
his business thoroughly and feeds the 
sow with the greatest caution. A good 
ration for the sow in pig consists of ear 
corn and one-twentieth tankage together 
with clover, Alfalfa or Soy bean hay. I 
like to feed both tankage and legume 
hay, as the number of weak pigs will be 
greatly lessened. It must be borne in 
mind that strong healthy litters cannot 
be produced unless a proper ration to 
supply the sow with muscle, bone and 
energy-making materials is fed, and then 
plenty of exercise and kind treatment. 
On farrowing day the bedding should 
be plentiful but of such a nature that 
the pigs cannot get lost in it; the pen 
should be tight, with no chance for the 
baby pig to stroll off through some small 
opening or fall into the feed trough, be¬ 
coming chilled and unable to find its way 
to the mother. Many farmers never 
think of staying up and watching the 
sow on this occasion, and their success 
is as great as their neighbor’s who stays 
up with the sow, and even sometimes bet¬ 
ter, but you will find that the quiet calm 
attendant who knows his business will 
be of great help to give the little pigs 
their first day’s chance.
