OCR Text	Show Farm Wife Saves Pigs, Makes 'Em Bottle Babies MELVIN, IOWA. A 67-year-old Iowa farm woman's tireless energy in raising 23 motherless piglets by means of a nursing bottle has produced pro-duced 4,600 pounds of pork. Last March when the little pigs were left motherless on the farm of Mrs. Conrad Stieglitz she went into action with a nursing bottle and hot sand. For five weeks the pigs were fed from the bottle and she placed bags of heated sand around the litter to keep them warm. Then Mrs. Stieglitz trained them to drink from a trough. All the pigs lived and now average aver-age 180 to 200 pounds. Livestock experts described her accomplishment accomplish-ment "very unusual."
