prepare for coming of tho young pig when I go into winter quarters with the prospective pros-pective mothers I do this by making mak-ing nn effort to keep them as healthy M possible by dividing tile herd in aa many divisions or bunches according loaizs as convenient and then feeding feed-ing 8ocordir e to their wanti never leaving great quantities of feed to go to waste I feed to my breeding sows only what they will eat clean and J I every day my begs and piga are f handled kindly until they become tame and docile so tint when tile ttme comes for young pig the mother can be assisted without tiny danger of the herdsman being torn to pieces I feed dry sound corn during tho first part of winter and water them with n slop nt least twice n day This slop irruatfo from a mush composed of about onethird wheat shorts and twothirds corn men cooked until done This having been will Ealttd when ready for uee it is put into a oarrti on wheels to oe conveyed con-veyed to the well to be thinned down
