FALL PIGS ARE PROFiTAlIE IF WELL FED AND CARED FOR Feed Sow Sparingly at First, but Bring to Full Feed In Ten Days Young Pigs Must Have Plenty of Fxercise-Good Pasture is Impor tant. Two litters of pigs a year from one sow is usually practicable, and adds materially to the success of the farm project, the United States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated. Spring pigs should be farrowed early in March in order to finish for market in the early winter. Fall pigs usually are timed to arrive in September which gives them a chance to get welf started before 'cold weather arrives. After farrowing and before placing the pigs with the sow to nurse, cut out the eight small tusklike teeth at the sides of the mouth. These are very sharp and might tear the sow's ud der or cause pigs to hurt each other at nursing time. They can be broken with bone forceps, wire nippers, or a knife, but should never be pulled out. Give Sow Water but no Food As a rule the sow should not be fed for the first 24 hours after farrowing' but should be given a liberal drink of water. If the woather is cold the wat er should be slightly warmed. A thin slop of bran and middlings may be given if she shows actual signs of hunger. The feeding for the first three or four days should be light and the time consumed in getting the sow on full feed should b- from a week to 10 (lays. Great c.re shoild be taken to feed the sow properly, or the little pigs will show it. If they follow the sow, around and pull at the terts constant ly, it shows she is not giving enough milk and more f ed should be given her to btimulate its flow. On the other hand, overfeeding is bad, as it tends to congest the utler, which will cause scouring in the young pigs. It is best for the sow and litter to be in the open, where exercise, sun light, and fresh air act beneficially for all of them. Even in cold weather tl.cy may be able to get exercise in a lot sheltered by a building and at the snie time be in the sunshine. Do not ellow the little pigs to be .out in a cold rain, and always provide clean and dry floors in the pens. If the pigs do not get exercise they may become fat and lazy. The best way to avoid this is not to overfeed and to compel the young pigs to take pienty of exer cise. It is of the greatest importance in raising pigs for the market that they gaim weight *as rapidly as possible. The first opportunity to force the pigs comes when they are a few weeks old. Up to this time they have been livingr solely on their dam's milk, for which no Ierfect substitute has been found. A fter about three weeks the young pigs begin to develop an appetite for some accessory feed to supplement the sow's milk, and they should be given some additional food. 'The pigs will eat from the sow's trough, but it, is better that a pen or "creep" be ar ranged adjoining that of the sow, al lowinw the pigs to have access to a self-teeder in which shelled corn alone is fed for a couple of weeks an1d afterwards shorts or wheat middlings. Excellent feeds for pigs of this age are dairy by-products, such as skim milk or buttermilk. These, together with Imnill feeds, as middli ings, shorts, and even a cheap grade (if flour, or with ground oats Iroilm which the hulls have been removed, give excellent sat isfaction. Pigs should be castrated while ther are young, preferably when (i to 8 weeks old, and before weaning.
