Begin With the Mother --Wean When Eight Weeps"Old--A Good Ration Suggested --Winter Feeding and Quarters. (contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Liberal teeding on a. well-balanced, ration suited to the needs of the sow Previous to the birth of the young is very essential if the little pigs are to be worth, rearing and the sow, in condition to supply aulpie milk for them. With the sow well nourished and given opportunity for exercise, she is the best equipped individual to undertake the task of rearing a litter. After the little pigs arrive, every- thing should be done for their com- fort and safety if they are to succeed as feeders. Clean, light pens; dry yard or grass lot; abundant sunshine and'a well fed mother, usually mean success to the little pigs, When. the young learn to feed at tour weeks, provision should be made whereby they can teed at a small trough in an enclosure away from the sow. Small quantities of sweet skitterilk In which wheat shorts Kaye been mix- ed eheaild be fed in small quantltiel and often, feeding a little lees than tete Pigs will actually take, Pigs that have been feeding from the trough for two weeks or more eau, be weaned without a Tery serious setback, Th. longer= the pigs can remain with the sow the better It ie for them, but ouch practice is not always profitable, so it is usual to wean the pigs when. they are eight weeks old, Since pigs are hunting the ground surface or rooting for morsels of food, it is good practice to encourage sueb by scat- tering plump grain ori the floor of the pen or yard, This causes the pig to take the exercise necessary to thrift. Treatment at Weaning Age, IS hen the Pigs :have reached the weaning age of eight weeks, they should be completely separated from the sow. It is better to remove the sow and leave the young pigs in the Pen that they have been used to for a week, that their troubles may not all come at once, When the pigs have quite forgotten their mother, an ideal lame for then is a colony house situated in an alfalfa, red clover, rape or blue grass pasture yard, whete water, a wallow hole and shade are amply supplied. If the young pigs must be kept in the pig- gery, then everything should be done to provide dryness, protection from insects, a living temperature, ample room, cleanliness, comfort, sunshine and a ration suited to their needs. Green feeds.shouid torte( a fair per- centage of the total ration for pigs whether fed as a soiling crop or as pasturo. The following mixed grain ration has proven very "satisfactory: Wheat middlings 25 pounds, shorts 25 pounds, finely ground oats 50 pounds, oil cake meal 5 pounds, meat meal 3 pounds. Pigs eight weeks old will require a pound or more per day. The quantity required for each day should be set apart and soaked for twelve hours or more, using no more water than is required for the soak- ing process. When ready to feed use five pounds of skimmilk to each pound of meal. Feed sweet skim - milk until the pigs are well weaned, then change to sour skimmilk and continue' to use such as long as Possib14. Handling Them at Three Months. After the pigs are three months old, buttermilk can be used instead of skimmilk with equal advantage. A change In the grain ration is also desirable at this age, and is most easily provided by adding a more fattening grain to the mixture already suggested for the eight weeks' old pig. The following Is very sat- isfactory; Corn or barley 25 pounds, shorts 50 pounds, wheat middlings 25 pounds, finely ground oats 50 pounds, oil cake meal 8 pounds. Soaking to soften and thereby in- crease digestibility should bo prac- ticed. The corn or barley portions of the ration should be increased grad- ually after the fourth month has passed to give the pig an opportunity to fatten during the last two months of its life should it be designed for the block. If intended for breeding purposes the feeding is practically the same up to the fifth month. "The intended for breeding purpose" stock should be developed on a ration carrying more bore and muscle form- ing material than the standard fat- tening rations. More alfalfa, red clover, sweet clover, rape or blue grass should be used. Winter Feeding. The success attained at pig feed- ing in the winter depends to a great- er extent upon the skill of the feeder than does summer feeding when wea- ther conditions are favorable. Com- fortable quarters which may be un- der the strawstack or in an elaborate pen, some place that is dry and will stay dry, is the first necessity. A well balanced ration suited to win- ter conditions in that it will supply in so far as possible something to take the place of grass and clover and "on the soil" conditions. Roots ,and sods are the most easily supplied substitutes. Room for exercise, and inducement to take such by scatter- ing whole grain in 'the litter or feed- ing ear corn are advised. The well supplied conditioner, box' is much more necessary during the winter. than it is when the pigs are running on the land.:" Dampness is the great trouble to overcome. In the modern piggery this is accomplished by abundant glass space in the roof and walls, and elevated platform for sleeping .quar- ters, and ventilators to carry: away damp foul .air. The pig °will keep tt `self cleaner• thany any anther slotnestic animal if given freedom -to do so. L. Stevenson, °Sec., Dept of Agricule turf), Toronto. BEDDING FOR STABLES Straw, Peat 'Moss, Sawdust and Shavings Considered, Straw Preferred Many Reasons --'.Measuring Hay In the Mow and In the Stack Hand -feeding Labs.--Farui Trespassers Scored. (Contributed ey Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.? The materials used for bedding domestic animals are generally straw from the grain fields, peat moss from. the swamp, or shavings from the saw or Planing mill. Straw is used to a greater extent than any other ma- terial, first because of its abundance; secondly because the stable offers a medium for transferring this by- product of the field to manure, and thereby facilitating its return to the land, thirdly because it Is a good absorbent of liquids. Straws from oats, peas, rye, wheat a.nd oats vary in Value aa' a litter or bedding ma- terial. The hard rye and wheat straws, while durable to the wear of aniutals.

Peat moss is 'valuable as an absorbent of liquids, it la also vhluable for its nitrogen -content. The manure front staples where peat moss is used .aa bedding is generally of considerably higher Value than the manure froze tiny oth- er source. It bas one objectxou in that it is not as elean as straw. Saw- dust and shavings, 'while serving the purpose as a litter or [entente ma- terial, add little value to the manure.
