B., the .brood sows are housed in portable cabins all year except for a period from a week or ten days before farrowing until the pigs are weaned. A three year ro­ tation of rape, oats seeded, and clo­ ver is carried on in the hog paddocks and this provides a continuous sup­ ply of green feed throughout the summer. The object in feeding is to keep the sows in a thrifty condi­ tion. They should not be allowed to become too fat or too thin. If they are very thin after the pigs are weaned, they are fed well until a normal weight is reached. If plenty of green feed is available, about four pounds of mixed grein per sow per day is usually sufficient, to keep her in good condition. When nurs­ ing a litter, the sow' is fed all she will clean up. This amount will vary to d2 sows. The varies of the mixture consists of equal parts of ground oats, ground barley and mid­ dlings. The barley may be omitted for sows in good condition and un­ less suitable mineral and protein supplements are provided, it should be omitted during the last month before farrowing. The nursing sow should receive at least two pounds of skim-milk per pound or grain or fish-meal or tankage at the rate of 8 per cent, of the ration. Mangels are always provided for winter feeding and are fed at the rate of about twro pounds per ion pounds of live weight per day. Clover hay is supplied in racks. If potatoes are fed to brood sows, they should be fed only sparingly during preg- nacy. At this time it. is advisable to feed fish meal at the rate of about 3 per cent, of the ration, if no skim­ milk is available. Bone char and salt are each fed at the rate of one per cent, of the ration at all times. pounds daily for from six different. the sowsgrain mixture for at times, owing to the nature feed on hand.
