Text Appearing Before Image:
BROOD SOWS AND THEIR LITTERS 63 I think, a wrong idea. They do not want to be kept on corn and water diet, either. Keep your sows in good, healthy condition; feed them on slop feed mostly, either of bran and shorts or of ground oats, with a little corn; feed enough to keep your sows gaining in flesh until farrowing time. A few days before farrowing put each sow in a pen by herself. If for March pigs, the building ought to be supplied with means for artificial heat, as March weather is a very uncertain quantity. Give the sows a dry nest of straw and change it often enough to keep it dry, as nothing is worse for a little
Text Appearing After Image:
A TYPICAL YORKSHIRE SOW. pig than a wet nest. Feed the sow a little sloppy feed for two or three days after farrowing. The sow will give all the milk the pigs will take for two or three days without much feeding. After the pigs get a little age, feed about all the sow will eat, but if your pigs commence to scour, slack off on your feed until the pigs stop scouring, as it is only overfeeding, causing indigestion, that makes them scour. Remove the cause and you will effect the cure. When the pigs get old enough to eat have a place fixed for them so that they can eat by themselves. When they get to eating good, feed them all they will eat and digest, till they are ready for market. Pigs ought not to be weaned before thoy are two and one-half to throe months ohl, and they ought to have the range of a pasture, with a feeding floor to cat upon.
