K Tho boar needs pasture as well a& K do tho other hogs or tho othor stock. B Pasturo will not only savo feed but K will also be a good conditioner. If K you keep n boar in n small pen, it is m always muddy or dusty and then if ho B is poorly fed in this pen he cannot do K his best, nnd the pigs will bo n dlsap- R polntmont. On tho othor hand, tho ' H boar can bo fed too much, but tho E troublo is usually that ho doesn't get K enough. 1 It Is often thought that tho boar is H simply n bill of expense nnd that ho H docs not need much feed. Such being H tho case, ho Is fed a llttlo Just becauso B ho must bo kept alive, but this feed H is tho scantiest amount that can bo H. given nnd tho handiest feed nearly H always Just a fow cars of corn. Ho V needs something stronger than oar H. corn. It may cost n llttlo more, but H will provo money well spenL Tho B feed should bo rich in protoids, which B would call for shorts, tarfkago, ol B meal, cowpeas, clover, alfalfa and such B feedfl, according to Roy Coloman In B tho Farmers' Rovlow. When fed on B such a ration ho can produco larger B Utters nnd stronger p,lgs than when B poorly fed. R Tho young boar should not bo fed flr too heavily. If ho Is overfed It will B mako htm go down In tho feet. It will also cnuso him to wrlnklo moro when ho becomes old. It Is hard to grow m a prlzo pig Into a prlzo bonr. But it I ho has not been overdono ns a pig ho can bo mado to dovelop into n good. sntintl hnnr. I |
