COST OF RAISING PIGS TO
WEANING AGE
(Experimental Farms Note.)
The production of pork: forms one
of the more important lines of -animal
industry on the farina •`0£ Canada as
'is shown by the fact that in 1926 there
were 1,470,777pigs in Canada. While
the raising of hogs is dans receiving
through four counties of Michigan time, there are•many'farmers who do
not appreciate the importance of this
branch oC animal production. Pigs
are economical .producers- of meat
when fed skint -milk; whey, 'garbage,
grain and other products and by-pro-
ducts of the farm: In fact they are
inseparable from the most sueecssfu'
operation of dairy forme except where
the whole milk is sold.
The keeping of hogs 10 always as-
sociated with a well balanced and
progressive_agricul'ture.
For the economical and successful
raising of.pigs, the value .of good
sows 'as to type and prolificacy cannot
be, overemphasized. Careful feeding.
and proper care are also very impor-
tant if the best results aceto be ob-
tained.
At the , Dominion Experimental
Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, where
a number .of pure-bred Yorkshire
sows of good type are kept, -the breed-
ing records as well as the total a-
mount of feed consumed during each
of.the following.periods are recorded:
(1) from weaning to farrowing; (2)
from farrowing until the ,pigs are

weaned. --- •
During the four years, 1924 to 1927
inclusive, six hundred and thirty-five
pigs' were raised to weaning age.
These represented seventy-nine lit-
ters, an average of eight pigs per
litter. Over a period of 193 days, the
average number of days from wean-
ing to farrowing, each sow consumed
an average of 1159 pounds of grain.
This, plus a small charge for pasture
cost $23,55. From farrowing; until
the pigs.were weaned, a period of 58
days, the sows consumed an average
of 696 pounds of grain plus some
skim -milk, Which cost $14.72 per sow.
When $2.00 is added for the service
fee,, it is found that the service and
the feed cost of the sow and her lit-
ter is $40.27 frons the time the last
litter was weaned'until the next litter
is ready to wean, Therefore the av-
erage cost of the pigs at that age is
$5.03 each.
The number of litters farrowed per
{sow eadh year, as well as the number
of pigs in each litter, are two factors
which greatly influence the cost. It
is also truethat every time a nursing
SOW loses a young pig the cost of the
others is relatively increased. A.

MAY 24 DECORATION DAY
Canada will soon be celebrating
May 24. The day is the anniversary
of Queen Victoria's birthday and for
so many decades was the day kept by
patriotic Canadians that on her death
the celebration was continued. It is
still a national holiday, although a
generation hasarisen which has no
memory of Good Queen Victoria.
There is no particular reasonf or keep-
ing the day as such. In England its-
elf the day isnot recognized.
Would it not be better to make
May 24 Decoration Day, a day on
which the glorious dead, ineluding
Queen Victoria herself, could be re-
membered? The United States has a
Decoration Day, -upon which day the
graves of soldiers, of statesmen and
illustrious dead are marked. It a
great patriotic ,holiday and on that
day the youth are reminded of the
history of the republic and theideeds
of her great men are recalled.
Canada' has to -day ono Decoration
Day. It is recognized'. on' different
dates in different cities -and in some
places ot at`all. It is an ideal time -
of year for such an occasion. The
spring flowers are in all their glory-
the world is at its best. It would be
no disrespect to the great Queen if
the character of the holiday.: were
changed. As a matter of fact, the,
holiday is rapidly losing its patriotic
'significance andis just - the first
great dayof the summer season for
Picnics, -baseball tournaments and.
horse races. Such a change would
not of course, affect Empire Day,
which • is celebrated in the schools on
Hay 23. -.-The London' Fr, Press. -
