'^Thla reason of t !*?? year is chosen by ma ny farmers an the moat deirable to have their bow# farrow, in orifter bat the i>iRH may have a good start before the weather becomes very hot <? and in order that they may be wean* ,<d in time to have the sown bred to /arrow in the fall ofthe year. Dur ing pregnancy and for hooio time after fafrowing, a how should receiv oioh: careful attention. Not only for the benefit of the farmers whose aowp are farrowing now but for the future benefit of thoBe whose sows fjftvi* already farrowed for the tpring I'rof. It. V. Shields, head of the animal husbandry division of CleniHpn College, advises certain pre <autions with brood sows. Oik* point sometimes overlooked hi oaring for sows is that they re quire plenty* of exercise throughout their prognuncy. The best way to provide this exercise is by suable grazing pastures. For this nothing excels Bermuda grass with white, bur, crimson and Japan clpvers. Such grazing, supplemented with j vuriety of forage crops, with skim med milk, bran, wheat middlings an 'orn, will make exoellent feed and will give ideal conditions for brood hows and for producing pork at the lowest cost. Experiments have also .-howi) that' brood spws fed to a large degree on corn and other can bonaceous rations give birth to del icate, small litters ad that sows so fed sometimes become useless as breeders. On the other hand, food containing the required amount of nitrogenous matter, such as clovers, peas, peanuts, vetch, bran, Bermuda, etc.. causes sows to produce large,, vigorous litters and keeps sows in splendid breeding condition. The period of gestation for Swine in about 112 dayB. One should al ways take note of the date of breed ing a sow and about a week or 10 days before the timd^to farrow the sow should be put lh a clean pen not less than 6x8 feet. Put itith*> pen a protecting fender around the sides about 8 inches from the floor and running out from tKe qides 8 or 10 inches. This will prevent the, sow from crushing the little pigs by lying on them. From the time j the sow is placed in this pen until i*he farrows she should be given lax-, atlve food and her bowels kept open. The first day after farrowing, the sow should be given nothing but water and her food should be light for a few days, until she recovers her normal condition. When she has done so, however, she will requtre large quantities of nutritious food to stimulate a large flow of milk-' It is advisable .to give her at this time just as much food as she will "clean up." At^rfHh pigs weigh from two to two 'and a half pounds and for a month- depend for their nourishment solely upon their moth er. As the only Way of feeding pigs during the first month of their existence is thru the sow, it pays to feed the sow liberally. A large litter with a poorly fed sow is like ly to become stunted and the pigs will be unprofitable to raise. As soon as the pigs are 3 weeks old, the sow should be once more turned upon good pasture and fed grain or slops In addition. At the end of two months the pigs should he weaned. A few days after the weaning . the sow is ready to be bred again. Program of. Kershaw Union.

The feedln of these cattle which was larggely in the nature of an experiment, was done with the co operation of the Agricultural Exper iment Stat ion and the ? live ? stoek agents of the Southern Railway have been In close touch with It. The results are such as clearly to establish that when they are properly handled, cattle can be fed in North Carolina and marketed at a substantial profit. The report made by Mr. Curtis shows that the average margin of profit on all of these nlhe hundred and twenty cattle was $1.32 per cwt. which compares very favorable with an average market of $1.00 pei cwt. received by cattle * feeders in the so-called "Corn Belt" -states- - | Mrs. Margaret C.
