WINTER MANAGEMENT OF BROOD SOWS
The winter quarters for dry brood
sows need not necessarily be warm.
All they require is a dry, storm and
wind protected place to live in. It is
preferable to have it opening to the
south. Dry brood sows do not appear
to suffer from the cold so long as they
have quarters well bedded with straw
and are at liberty to roam about the
barnyard for exercise. At the Ontario
Agricultural College the dry brood
sows are wintered in an open shed
facing south with the front closed' in
to within four feet from the ground..
The shed is sixteen feet deep, ten feet
high in front, six feet high at the
back and thirty-eight feet long, and
conmfortably accommodates twenty ma-
ture sows. They are • given the free-
dom of -a yard and so long as they
have plenty of bedding are quite com-
fortable. The litters come strong and
healthy, and the sows are in satis-
factory breeding condition.
In the event•of no shed being avail-
able an A -shaped hut or portable pen
can be used to very good advantage.
As with the open shed they should be
well bedded and located where there
is no , danger of the floor becoming
damp.
A brood sow must be allowed to take
exorcise; if she does not take it of
her owe accord, some method of in-;
clueing her to do so should be prac-I
ticed. Exercise promotes good health'
in the pregnant sow and ensures,
strong litters where the sow has been
properly fed.
Brood sows in winter should get a

variety of feed, including some suc-
culent feed which can be readily faund
in mangers or sugar beets. The ma-
ture brood sow will relish a small am-
ount of roughage, such as alfalfa or
red clover hay, or clean corn silage.
The amount of her grain ration must
be determined by her condition and
size. Barley and oats, equal parts,
makes a very suitable mixture to feed.
Corn may be fed in a small proportion
during the winter months when the
sow is running outside. Owing to its
heating nature and lowness in muscle
and bone -building constituents, corn
should be fed sparingly during the lat-
ter part of the gestation period.. If
dairy by-products, such as skim milk
or buttermilk are available, they gun
be fed economically during the winter
months. A brood sow should always
have access to some'nuneral mixture
while she is in winter quarters.
During the winters of 1921-22 and
1922-23 experiments were conducted
at the Ontario Agricultural College to
determine the cost of maintenance of
brood sows. For the experiment 9
brood sows divided into three lots,
were used each year, and were fed
for '71 days in 1921-22 and 66 days in
1922-23. In each ease one lot was put
on a ration of concentrates, skim milk.
and roots and the other two lots were
fed a smaller ration along with man
gels and either alfalfa, hay or corn
silage.
The following is a synopsis of the
experiment of 1922-23 which, in re-
sults, duplicates that of 1921-22 quite
closely:

Keeps Money in a Safe Place.
A chequing account in a bank is a
necessity to good business farming.
It establishes your credit in the com-
munity as well as with your banker.
It gives security in the way of its
returned cheques which are the best
of receipts, consequently settles any
disputes or complications which may
develop through careless dealing in
which receipts are neglected.
It keeps your money in a safe place
~Where fire or thieves do not trouble.
It assists in the book-keeping accounts
which every good farmer must keep.
Large deposits are not necessary, but
when sales are made put the money in
the bank instead of in your pocket,
It also serves as a restraint to use-
less or unwise expenditure as it gives
you opportunity to say to yourself,
"Do I need this?"
Your account may be held jointly
so the wife may use the cheque book,
or she may have a separate account.

how to handle money,—G. H. Harper.

The Winter Program.
One of the disadvantages of farm-'
ing in this latitude is that it is to
some degree a seasonal business. On
very many farms there is not a great.
deal of opportunity for productive
work during' the winter season. On the'
dairy farm or the farm where stock
feeding is made a specialty this emer-
gency has been provided for, but on
'farms where cash'. crops are made the
special line of production this is not
the case, and productive winter work'
is the exception rather than the rule.
This is a weakness in any systeni of
'fuming. Tn these days of keen com-
petition the factory which must be
praotieaily closed for four or five
months in the year is greatly handi-
capped so far as profitable operation
is concerned. This is no less true of
the farm factory than of the commer-
cial enterprise. How to employ the
farm factory profitably during the
winter season should be a profitable
subject for thought at this time.
