Sow and Pig Notes.

Keep the hogs in out of the wet. Keep the pens and beds dry. If sows are soon to have pigs, be sure that the pen is dry and warm. Do you know that if you hang a lantern in the top of your bog nests when it is cold and frosty the tiny pigs that are just appearing will not suffer from the frost? See that the little pigs have plenty of exercise and do not get too fat, or they will get thumps. Don’t give little pigs cornmeal. Walt till they are a few months old before you begin to do that. Give them plenty of room and bustle them around for exercise. Feed the sows carefully. Give very little corn and plenty of roots.—Farm Journal.
