She should be fed morning and eve

be good for her and will reduce the
grain needed somewhat. These slops
must not contain any soap or glass.
As corn is the most available grain
in most sections of the South, it will
have to be relied on for feeding both

will not produce so many pigs in each
litter as when bred only once a year,
but more pigs should be raised In a
year from each sow.
It does not pay to try to raise bogs
on grain alone. In fact, the profit in
pig raising, especially In the South,
depends directly on the amount of pas
ture of some kind used to enable the
pig to make its gain in weight Of the
southern forage crops peanuts, soy
beans, rpe and cow peas are especially
valuable. Now, these are not avail
able all through the year, therefore we
use a aeries Of crops. For example,

It is not necessary to spend a lot of
money to carry oat each a plan. Of
course, the Bermuda pasture where
the sows are turned should have a
good fence. The crops on which the
pigs are grazed can be fenced with
homemade hurdles of lumber or woven
wire, which may be moved as desired,
and the pigs will stay in It while the
pasture is good. Ten pigs oan be
kept en half an acre of one of the
crops mentioned above from four to
eight weeks, depending on their size.
3; A poor pig is not worth raising or
feeding. Tour pigs should be sired
by a good pure-bred Duroc Jersey,
Berkshire, or Poland China boar. After
you have decided which of the three
you want, stick to the same breed and
in a little while you will have pigs
which are very much alike, a model
for others, and an advertisement for
your community. If you can afford It,
start with good grade sows. If not
natives (razorbacks) will do. White
pigs should not be used in the South,
as they sunburn badly.
4. Expensive houses are not neces
sary for hogs in the South. Give tbe
sow a dry place to farrow, a pen well
bedded and sheltered from cold winds
and storms, and both she and the pigs
will do well. Little pigs that get
chilled or wet soon after birth often
die or grow into "runts." If there is
r.o suitable place around the farm for
the sow, make a lean-to with poles.
about 10 by 12 feet, sis feet high in
front and four feet high behind, facing
it to the south, atd thatch it with ,
straw, cheap hav, or even cornstalks, ,
and the litter will be well housed.
Make the thatch roof higher in the
middle than at the sides and smooth I
it down o that rain will run off. !
Two sows should raise five pigs I
each, giving the farmer ten pigs to
slaughter. These pigs should weigh,
when slaughtered, 200 pounds each,
making 2,000 pounds of live weight.
This costs about 3 cents per pound
to make in the South under the system
described above, which is an original
cost of $70. Killing will cost not over
$6. Tbe loss in dressing is about 30
per cent of the live weight or 600
pounds on ten pigs, bo that 1,400
pounds of dressed pork is on hand aft
er slaughtering. If yon can get a local
ice plant to chill and cure the meat
for you, the manager should charge
not over four cents per pound, which
is $56. Then the meat loses weight
in curing, amounting to about one cent
per pound, or $14. Tbe total cost of
the meat is about as follows:
