The safest plan w'cald be to go up to her box and have an immediate ex- planation with..her." It was m .favorable moment. The three strokes had just announced the second act. Giving a last glance at the box before going out, the most surpris lug spectacle presented' itself.

An attendant should be on that watch when the youngsters are,)om- ing, but should not interfere un- duly as longus things are going oei normally,, tlsotigh circumstances way be such as to require attention. It is a good plan to get the sow used to being handled and petted before the time for parturition az- - rives, so that she willnot be fright- ened or disturbed when it is'ncees sary to place the young pigs bee oidc' her for warmth acid nourisle, Ment. If the sow is nervous or ex- citable, and persists in rising dur- ing the ordeal, 't is well to have a basket on hand, with some chaff or short strafe in it. in which fro place the pigs, Covering thein with a blanket, until all the litter .aro born, when, by scratching the sow on the back and gently rubbing her udder, she may be induced to lie clown, when the pigs may be quiet- ly placed with her. The sow should then be left undisturbed for at least 12 hours, and, perhaps, as well for 21 hours, before offering her any food, and then only a warm drink of swill, with perhaps a little bran in it. Feed her lightly forthe first - three or four days, and gradually iuereases the bulk of her feed as the pigs get stronger and need . more milk. As the pigs grow older, and the milk supply larger, care should be taken that both sow and pigs have room to move about each day for exercise, as there is danger of !constipation in the sow, and of the pigs becoming too fat from the heavy supply of milk. They should grow without getting fat while young, as an accumulation of fat is liable to hamper the action of the heart and circulation of the bleed in many cases, causing the ailment known as thumps, the symptoms of - which are quick breathing, and the working of the sides, like bellows, a condition which can seldom be re- lieved, and commonly results in the death of the finest of the litter in a day or two after being noticed, If. the weather is not suitable for turning them out for a few minutes for exercise daily, they should be forced to move around in the pen or the feeding passages, and for this purpose an old broom may serve a good purpose in getting them to go where wanted. When the pigs are ytwo or three weeks old, a low '----- ,trough should be placed where the ' may be given a little warm milk apart from the sow, and a little !ground oats, with the hulls sifted out, may be gradually added. Fox hest results, the pigs should not bo weaned before they are eight weeks old, though, if they are eating well, an l it is desired to breed the sow again for an early autumn litter, 'they may be weaned at six weeks of age. It is desirable that :fall lit- ers come not later than September in order that they may have plenty of exercise out of doors, and gain - strength of bone and vigor of con- stitution to elttlnre the necessary confinement in the finishing period in the winter months. With present luta prospective prices, it will pay to give attention to the adoption of . methods of treatment which keep the pigs going on from start to fin- ish. --Farmer's Advocate.
