great courage and to-day are driving

been put 'forth in Russia toward the

Extra Sow Per Farm
The increase required in Ontario
amounts to approximaately one extie
sow per farm where pigs'are now be.
ing kept.
Huron County has an enviable roe-
ord in hog production. 41% of' the
hogs grade A and 52% grade Bl. Ir
words, 93% of the 'hogs are it
the ' top two grades and are therefor(
suitable • for export overseas, In ad-
dition to quality, the quantity has, beer
stepped .up by approximately 40% °vet
peace time. In 1941, over 125,000 hogs.
were marketed at paeking Plants 'and
in 1942 for the first ten. months (Jan.
1at to : Oct 31st) over 102,000 hogs.
went to .market. To these figures
be added the pigs. killed for
home use or sold to. nations of re;
.fri gerated' locker services throughout
.county or sold to. local hatchet
shops.'
The, objective for 1943 has been set
at 150,000 hogs from Hurbn.
is believed this increase can be
obtained. The following fourpoints
..are being feeaturedl,„....
,,,... .,..
1 There is an abundance of grain on
most farms and grain can be parchas-
ad at reasonable wieeS, •
2 By the use of inekpensive lahout-
saving devices in hog feeding, the
progency. ,from an extra sow can be
raised with very little additoinal man
ual labour.
3 IVIortality in young pigs normally
runs from 30% to 35% and can be
reduced materially b a little greater '' . Y :
care of the sow before and after far-
:rowing, Lack of exercise' in the sow
can be responsbile for many weak
litters. If one more pig per litter is
raised, our production from this. source
alone would increase 12 3/2 %. •
4 Greater care in preparing rations
can materially add to the profits of
hog raising, Pigs fed on grain alone
will take at leeast 6 lbs, gain per
pound of g, Lit i3ig''S fed on it Mixture
balanced by the additioli (A some pro. • tein supplement can be fed on 4 lbs.

A sow bred today can produce .a

sheep but even at that, saws must be
bred at once if the pigs are to be
marketed in 1943.
