By SShephei??. Rheumatism generally rosults from a damp and filthy bed. You cannot have good muscular growth without corresponding growth rf bone. As long as a sow breeds well, she is preferable to any young sow. The sow to give the best return should be in fine condition when bred, making improvement each day. When tne breeder has succeed ed in producing a pig good in a 11 parts there will be time to add the fancy. The best time to determine what shall be done with the brood sow is when she brings her litter and while she suckles it. Bo careful about changing the food of the sow. It is needful that she have a variety, but in changing be gradual to avoid giving pigs the scours. Rye alone does not make a profitable ration for pigs. The albuj - i uiniuiu return ib too low, being deficient in bone forming mate- j rial. The breeding boar does not want to be made fat, but to have his bone and muscular development complete. It is the hog that is kept grow-] ing without being glutted with j rich food that makes the money. [ The pigs to be castrated should be attended to as soon as large enough to handle. This will pre vent a set back in growth and al low them to be well before weaning. In starting a lot of pigs it is easy to fall into the habit of giving a certain quantity of food. And failing to increase as the pi*.i grow. Every day that a hog is kept longer than is necessary to fit him For market increases his cost and the risk cf total loss. If pigs are to be fatteued young, they must be taught to eat as sarly as possible, and by the time they are four weeks old, they ihould be eating regularly. By giving the hogs a good variety of food srited to their wants, we shall reduce the chance of loss by disease and greatly cheapen the product. In the growing of tirst-class pork, the degree of cleanliness practiced governs the quality of the product. Sleep ia a great element in the Formation of fat, and a pig that baa eaten all he can will immeiiately lay down andaleep, which aids the process of digeation. The eye of the practical buyer readily detects animals that are not of condition. The hair ia harsh and rough in appearance and in many instances the animals are infested with vermin. The success of a young sow with a first litter has much to do with her future value; consequently it is very importantJthLt all of the conditions within the iwuer's control be made favorable to her. It ia a pretty generally accepted fact that there is no animal about the farm that makes a better return for the amount of food ;onsumed than the hog.?Live Stock Journal.
