Keep wood ashes in a convenient place 
so that the pigs can eat all they wish. 
Ashes furnish mineral matter—potash, 
lime, soda—which helps to build up the 
digestion and kills intrstinal worms. If 
wood ashes are not plentiful, give coal 
ashes. 
A really good brood sow ranks as one of 
the voluable assets on the live stock farm, 
and it is well worth while to look properly 
after her, and accord her such treatinent 
as will ensure her doing well and profit- 
ably for her owner. ; 
Skim milk should be fed to pigs if it 
can be obtained, It may be mixed with 
the grain to make a thick swill, or if it is 
-desired to feed the grain dry, the milk ~ 
may be fed separately. 
Strong piglings result from an excel- 
lent physical condition of the sow and 
an abundance of milk wherewith to feed 
them. 
Growing pigs need richer rations in 
winter than in summer, and one that will 
supply more animal heat. 
It is not necessary to keep a large num- 
ber of sows to supply all the pigs needed 
for feeding on a single farm. Sows should 
raise on an average eight pigs to a litter,

The best method of feeding live stock 
in a drought, so as to avoid waste of 
material and unnecessary labour, is a 
matter of serious import to the pastoralist 
who is left with a large number of sheep 
for which the dried-up pastures wiil not 
afford the least sustenance. The mode in 
which the feed is given to the stock is 
also worthy of consideration. During the 
great drought a pastoralist laid in a stock 
of maize for sheep feeding. The maize 
was soaked in water before it was spread 
over the bare ground, and the sheep 
picked up every grain, As the times were 
bad, and all saving in labour was of con- 
sequence, the stock-owner thougbt he 
would save the cost of the soaking, The 
unsoaked maize was duly distributed 
when he found that he had reckoned 
without his host, or rather without his 
floek, The sheep finding the hard grain 
so much more difficult fo masticate than 
the soaked maize to which they had keen 
used, followed the example so frequently 
set of late years and struck. They passed 
over the hard maize, and followed the 
cart, bleating loudly in protest. A very 
valuable fodder that has been neglected iz 
molasses It is not expensive, it is life 
sustaining, and it greatly aids digestion.
