Swine Husbandry 
By Prof. F. C, Minkler 
Trouble with Pigs 
I have had considerable trouble with 
my brood sows and little pigs. I am 
feeding middlings, and when the pigs are 
a few weeks old they scour and fade away. 
A few have died/ In previous years I 
have fed ground oats and have had no 
trouble. I am sending a sample of mid¬ 
dlings. H. A. Q. 
While middlings in themselves are es¬ 
pecially well suited for supplying at least 
a portion of the grain ration intended for 
young pigs, it is a mistake to rely upon 
them exclusively as a source of nourish¬ 
ment. It would be more desirable to use 
equal parts of middlings and finely ground 
oats, to which might be added a sprinkling 
of tankage, or. say. 10 per cent of oil- 
meal. and this would best be given in dry 
form rather than diluted, and mixed with 
water. In fact, the self-feeder affords 
the best means of supplying this feed to 
young pigs. Middlings iu themselves are, 
of course, palatable, but they are not 
easily digested, and are very apt to cause 
exactly the condition you have indicated. 
Pigs should be brought gradually to a 
full feeding of gram. The sows likewise 
should he fed consistently of the same 
material, for any digestive disorders ex¬ 
perienced among sows nursing pigs would 
immediately make trouble with the young 
pigs. Then again the quality of middlings 
available is of low grade, being largely 
ground bran, and this includes sweepings 
and other residual mill products. It is 
always advantageous to put as much va¬ 
riety as possible in the mixture, even 
though it is intended for young pigs. 
If the youngsters are hand-fed. smaller 
quantities at a time and more frequent 
feeding during their early growing stage 
would be more likely to do away with the 
digestive disorders and scours. If they 
are still suffering from this complaint 
deny tlipm all feed for a full day, theu 
supply them with a scant feeding that 
contains about 15 per cent of raw linseed 
oil.. This will purge rhe system, after 
which they can be put back on a normal 
ration, which might consist of equal parts 
of corn, oats and middlings, to which 
eight per cent of tankage or 12 per cent 
of oilmeal is added. 
Feeding Young Pigs 
1. I have bought six-weeks-old pigs, 
without the sow. Will you please send 
me a ration for them? 2. My cow, re¬ 
cently fresh, gave 18 quarts of milk per 
day. Now she lias gone down to eight 
quarts. What is the trouble, and what 
can I do? She gets the same amount, of 
feed as before. m. j. b. 
1. Unless the pigs are particularly 
well grown the best results will not fol¬ 
low weaning them when they are six 
weeks old. It is more economical to pro¬ 
duce milk for them through the agency 
of their mother duriug this age. There 
is danger of stunting pigs when' they are 
weaned so young unless they have had 
access to a self-feeder or have been nib¬ 
bling away at some feed provided for 
them in a protected creep. A grain 
ration consisting of equal parts of hominy, 
finely ground oats and wheat middlings, 
to which has been added 10 per cent of 
meat meal, digester tankage or oilmeal, 
would provide a growing ration. The 
pigs should be fed frequently, say four 
times a day, until they are two or three 
weeks older, when they might be fed but 
three times a day. Do not dilute this 
mixture too much with water, but rather 
prevail upon the pigs to eat it in the 
form of a thick slop rather than to drink 
it in tli form of a thin swill. The 
youngsters should uot be eonfineu iu too 
small a pen, else it will be filthy and tin- 
sanitary, and infection of one sort or 
another may interrupt normal digestion. 
2. Concerning your dairy cow, a drop 
from IS to eight quarts in a relatively 
short period is, of course, discouraging; 
however, there are certain cows that-main¬ 
tain their full flow of milk only a very 
short time and drop rather suddenly from 
a reasonable amount to a stinted quan¬ 
tity. As you have uot indicated what 
grain ration you have been feeding it i*> 
not easy to suggest the cause. A ration 
consisting of too much corumeal and not 
enough protein would have a tendency to 
dry the cow off. as she would put on a 
surplus of flesh and would fail to take to 
milk production. Now that grass is avail¬ 
able it is possible that she will increase 
her flow, yet it is the experience of dairy¬ 
men that once a cow drops down iu her 
flow of milk and stays down for any 
length of time, particularly during the 
middle of her lactation period, it is not 
easy, even though a well balanced ration 
is supplied, to restore the larger produc¬ 
tion. 
If your cow has access to pasture or is 
tethered on the lawn or yard, continue 
feeding a grain ration consisting of equal 
parts of corumeal and gluten meal. Feed 
one pound of this grain to each four or 
five pounds of milk produced per day, 
gradually increasing the amount of grain 
as the amount of milk increases. If the 
flow does not increase as the grain is in¬ 
creased reduce the amount half a pound 
a day, and thus determine where the 
dividing line between increased and de¬ 
creased production may be found. The 
addition of wheat bran and ground oats 
to this ration would add variety, and 
oftentimes cows are sensitive to this 
quality iu a feeding ration.
