FEEDING YOUNG PIGS
Practical flints for Dealing With
the Junior nog.
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.

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
