Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 219, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 September 1914 — Raising Pigs. [ARTICLE]

Raising Pigs.

The i cheapest way to put gains on young/pigs is through the sow. She has a t strong digestion and can turn coarso grains and pasture into easily digested milk. Careful experiments show? that a pound of weight taken from the sow will make more than 1 pound of gain bn the pigs, the flesh of the young animals containing more water. The sow should be fed to produce a high milk yield, and the pigs should ge kept with her until they get to eating a full feed of grain and pasture.
