(This is one of a series of article written especially for The Star by i 1 Christie bead of the extension department of Purdue Univerjdty The next one will appear within a few days BY I CHRISTIE Superintendent of Agricultural Extension Purdue University will the harvest is in the minds of Indiana hog men as they care (or their brood sows The success of the hog business and the profit from the sows kept and fed on the farm depends on the number and quality of pigs that will be raised It is important therefore that every attention be given to the brood sow at farrowing time Discussing the management of the sow and her litter Starr of Purdue says: hog growers desire if at all possible to place the sows in their farrowing quarters a few days before due to farrow By doing so the sows become acquainted with their surroundings and better care can be taken The experi ence of having to place a sow in a house or pen just at the time of farrowing or immediately afterward is not pleasant The sow is cross the young pigs easily chill and everybody soon loses patience Many times the sow resents being placed in a house or pen and will endeavor to return to the place where she has already made a bed How Pig Eaters Develop spring there are a number of farmers that have nervous or pig eating sows The sows resent the pigs suckling them flounce around mash or starve their pigs A worse affliction is the sows who develop a taste for their own off spring Out of a dozen fine pigs often not one survives the cannibal taste of their mother While not universally true it can be safely said that the majority of these cases both nervous sows and pig eaters is due to mismanagement Either the sows have been fed very improperly or the owner has been careless in man agement When a sow has not received a properly balanced ration and is con stipated she is very apt to become fever ish at farrowing time her udder becomes inflamed and sore and her entire body is thrown out of balance The pigs in rooting her udder and pulling at the teats are causing very sharp pains Naturally the sow refuses to allow them to suckle In pushing the pigs away the sow snaps at them Often a snap catches a pig and the sow is started upon a ca reer of pig eating Other cases of pig eating are due to allowing the sow to eat any dead pigs and the foetal membranes treatment for nervous feverish sows is to take the pigs away to some other place perhaps dividing them among foster mothers if possible and then giv ing the sows feeds and medicines adapted to cooling the system A dose of a good cathartic is always useful Salts or oil are equally good Light rations of bran middlings or oil meal will be desirable No corn should be offered An abundance of water should be given If the owner has the time and the sow is gentle enough cold applications and poultices can be used on the udder If the pigs can not be placed with other sows they should be placed with the mother at as long intervals as possible and only al lowed to remain to Caution In eeding A word of caution is given by Mr Starr on feeding the sow: as many mistakes are made in feeding the sow at and shortly after farrowing as at all other times A very common practice is to throw over into the pen a half dozen ears of corn as soon as the sow is through farrowing As soon as she eats these another liberal feeding is given The resulting sequel is often a feverish sow and scouring pigs or several days before farrowing if pos sible the sow is placed in better physical shape by being fed lightly After farrow ing the sow should not be encouraged to eat Let her be the judge of her appe tite Give plenty of water and with the chill taken oft if the weather is cold The day after farrowing she will begin to show hunger A light feed of bran ground alfalfa hay middlings or some other light bulky feed mixed with a lib eral quantity of water now should be If sweet skim milk is available some of it can be included No corn is i needed for several days The object to be kept in mind is to keep the sow filled" sufficiently with light bulky feeds so that her appetite is satisfied but still not enough nutritive materials given to over stimulate the secretion of rnilk By giv ing heavy feeds the physical sys tem is thrown out of balance milk secre tion is overstimulated digestive troubles occur and both the sow and her pigs suffer A safe rule is always to feed less than the sow demands three or four days the ration can be changed by the gradual addition WED 1 i Health Uniformly Good Oranges California ruit Growers Exchange A Co
