BE PREPARED FOR THE WAR LITTERS
Prompt Attention to Pigs at Birth Will Prevent Heavy Losses From Weather
and Give the Young Porkmakers a Good Start.
AIM TO REDUCE
PIG MORTALITY
Serious Attention Demanded at
Farrowing Time to Save
Litters This Year.
FEEDING SOWS IS IMPORTANT
Get Plans of Practicable Hog House
From Federal or State Sources ?
Good Quarters Are One of
Best Investments.
Save the war litters I
Every owner of a brood sow, wheth
er he lives oti a large farm and has
many, or whether he Is a suburbanite
iind owns one, should feel a personal
responsibility to see that the pig lit
ters born this spring are received
with the utmost rare. That means the
matter of providing proper housing
for the brood sows, and their young
should have Immediate attention. Sav
ing every pig possible In order that
one of the most urgent war needs of
the nation ? more pork ? can be sup
plied, should be the aim of every man
who owns hogs.
The high mortality among young
pigs In some parts of the country can
be materially reduced if proper hous
ing and feed are provided for the sows.
Investigations of the mortality among
pigs on the reclamation projects show
that approximately one-third of the
pigs born die before reaching the wean
ing age. Losses on several northern
projects last season were even above
this average because of a severe sea
son. According to one investigation
which covered about fifty herds, repre
senting TOO brood sows, the average
loss was about 33 per cent, while some
farmers lost 50 to 70 per ceut of the
pigs.
Death Rate Is Large.
That the average death rate of
young pigs, not only on the projects,
but elsewhere, is unnecessarily large,
and that losses are in a large measure
PERSONAL ATTENTION TO
PIGS WILL REDUCE
HIGH MORTALITY.
Faithful, personal attention to
the sows at farrowing time, even
though It means long hours of
hard work by day and by night,
is the only assurance that the
3918 war litters can be made to
reach the necessary high aver
age. The hog grower who is on
the job at this season will be
able to save the lives of many
pigs that might otherwise perish
in passing through the hazards
of the first few days. In ex
tremely cold weather the pigs
will be In danger of chilling un
less the hog house is heated.
To remedy this, place n few
heated bricks in the bottom of
a basket, or small box. Cover
with chaff or straw aud put a
cloth over the top to keep In
the heat. Unless the sow ob
jects too seriously the pigs may
be rubbed dry with a soft cloth
and placed in a receptacle as
fast as they arrive. The de
tails of attention which the sow
and the pigs need at farrowing
time are set forth In a recently
revised publication of the Unit
ed States Department of Agri
culture, "Swine Management,"
Farmers' Bulletin 874.
preventable, is the belief of the offi
cials of the department of agriculture.
To remedy this situation in time to
prevent heavy losses in the next pig
crop, the department urges immediate
preparation along two lines ? provid
ing satisfactory houses for the brood
aulmal.s at farrowing time and better
liiauMgerueut and feeding of the bows
PIG WEARS A SCANT COAT;
PROTECT HIM FROM COLD.
It Is still hard for many farm
era to get rid of the notion that
anything Is good enough for
hogs, yet there Is no animal on
the farm which requires better
protection from the cold than
the hog; none for which a good
hed Is more necessary; and none
so much In need of sunshine as
the little pig. The horse and
the cow have good coats of hair
? even a calf or colt left in the
cold is provided with a good
fur coat; the hens' feathers are
the hest of protection against
low temperature, hut the hog
has almost nothing between his
skin and the weather. One of
the first requisites for success
with hogs Is a shelter where
young pigs cnn be kept warm
and well supplied with sunshine
and fresh air. A little pig takes
cold very easily and recovers
slowly if at all. To prevent tak
ing cold he must be kept dry,
warm, away from drafts and
provided with fresh air. There
Is a publication of the United
States department of agricul
ture which tells how to provide
quarters that will give hogs,
both young and old, all the com
forts they need. It Is Farmers'
Bulletin 438, "Hog Houses." If
you have the welfare of pigs or
bogs In your charge, send for It.
both before and after the pigs are
born.
It has boon found that the larger
losses usually occur on farms whore
the housing facilities are poor. In
one Investigation it was learned that
where good hog houses were used,
the average number of pigs raised in
a litter was 514, while on farms where
the housing was poor the average num
ber reared from each litter was only
3 1-10. The average saving, therefore
where good houses were used, amount
ed to more than two pigs to the litter.
There are many kinds of satisfac
tory hog houses which can be built at
comparatively low cost. Anyone of
these will soon pay for Itself in the in
creased number of pigs saved. Both
the Individual house and the colony
hog house have a place on the hog
farm. Both give very satisfactory re
sults If they are properly constructed.
If only one can be had the colony
house usually is to be preferred, es
pecially where a large number of sows
are to be kept. The farrowing period
usually extends over several weeks if
there are many sows. In such cases
each pen in the house may be used for
two or more sows during the period.
Assuming that two sows use a pen and
that by reason of the satisfactory quar
ters provided two additional pigs are
saved in each litter. It would not be
long until the hog house paid for it
self. Good quarters are one of the
best investments the swine grower can
make.
Satisfactory Houses.
The satisfactory hog house provides
warmth, dryness, abundance of light,
ventilation, sanitation, and comfort.
To meet these requirements the house
need not be expensive. As a matter of
fact, many expensive hog houses are
not satisfactory, because they do not
possess all these requirements, while
many less expensive ones properly
planned and built give excellent satis
faction. Information as to details and
suggested plans of buildings may be
obtained from field representatives of
the department of agriculture or from
the state agricultural colleges.
The core given the brood sow, es
pecially In her feeding. Is equally Im
portant. Help on this point ci.n be ob
tained from bulletins which state ag
ricultural colleges or the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture will furnish.
Hold to Breeding Stock.
Every farmer should hold fast to his
breeding stock and raise two litters of
plffs a year from each brood sow. This
Is the patriotic thing to do, and will
doubtless prove highly profitable as
well.
