Good Qsre at oa_Iv_lnp H_e_|p|~. Milk

Production.

Few farmers appreciate the real

weight which care at calving time has upon both the productivity of the cow and the value of the offspring. if they did they would exert greater care and consideration. The dairy cow. when dry, should be_fed chiefly onroughage. A small allowance of grain, about two pounds daily, 'will be quite enough, provided she is in reasonable good “physical condition,

algd this ration should be rich in pro- ts n. ‘ _Bran or oats, or B, mixture of bran and oats with a little meal, makes a good combination to be fed previous to calving. Corn siiage and roots are verygood feeds if the cow' has ne pasture, or ii' it be before asture sea

, D ‘

son. The succulent feed should include c

liberal allowances of clover or al-

falfa hay, or a roughage rich in pre- te n.

But the cow should not he fed more

roughage than she will eat up clean. lf fed too much there will be danger oi' het' getting into the habit of eat- ing the most palatable ports of the roughage and wasting much good feed. _The cow on pasture will need no grain, but s.'little roughage is good. Of course, if the animal is thin in flesh it would he well to feed

some grainy but ‘the amount should,

depend upon her condition entirely.

When the cow has been properly fed

there will be no necessity of medi- cine. contrary to the views of many dairymen. A bran mash over which some warm water has been poured is a very good ration, especially in cold weather. Ground oats mixed with grain and a. pail of warm water should be given, for her feverish con- dition and exhausted body at the time demand considerable water, and this should be warm. Be careful that she is not exposed to cold draugbts.

Feed very lightly on grain at the

beginning of the milking period, al- lowing a liberal amount of silage, roots and hay. As the cow gains in strength and resumes her normal condition. the grain portion of her ration should be increased. Keep in creasing gradually as long as she re- sponds to the-'extra feed. When she has reached her maximum flow of milk she should be fed a little less grain. ,

It will take three or four weeks to

bring ber to a full flow of milk and to reach the stage where she is eat- ing a full ration. i'1`he time to esta- blish the milk flow of the cow is when she is fresh. There is no other time in the lactation period when care and judicious feeding have a more important bearing upon her year’s record. Feed her liberally but never overieed or carry her be- yond her capacity. This will work great injuy to her milk function and breeding powsr.- Prairie Farm and Home. , ' '

TH E PIG-EATING 80W

Occasionally a sow will eat her own

D188 immediately after they are far- l'°W6d. and as is generally true in a case of this kind an emergencv meas- ure is the thing most desired. At the same time it is the thing most difficult, to prescribe. As a question of general

‘interest it is sim l one o

D Y 4 I how to

prevent the evil. Only _when a sow is in a feverish condition does she km and eat her own offspring. .

A pig that has been overlaid in the

nest is very often devoured by the mother. but there is no connection be tween this act 'and that of the sow frantic with fever that kills her pigs. Except through some abnormal condi- tion or undue excitement no sow ever -Dllrposely devours her young. For this reason the matter of feeding a laxa- ‘tive and cooling ration to the brood sow before and following the furrow- ing period becomes one of much, im~- portance. At this time born should he Btudloualy avoided and especially lol. lowing the time the sow has farrowed should the ration be administered with all the care possible and the sow should be kept from all undue excite- ment. Here is where the one who handles his sows with' a great deal of personal attention the year around has a distinct advantage over the breed whose sows are wild and object to his presence at the time of farrowlng_ - ~ Various remedies have been pro- posed for breaking a sow ofthe habit °f 080118 her D188. some of which are recommended as very effectual. But in my experience in raising swine, which covers s. period of about 27 Years. i have never been bothered very much with pig-eating sows. During my first few years' experience. I was troubled some in this way and I was not long in getting rid of the sows, be- lieving they were to blame for having such an appetite, but I found by study and practical experience that the feed. ing and care of the sow before and soon after farrowing had all to do with the matter. At present I have eleven brood sows six years old and each one has brought two litters of pigs a year since a year old_ Of the hundreds of pigs these sows have pro- duced not one has been_ devoured by the mother_ These sows are now in the very best of condition and I ex- pect them to bring at least 100 pigs during March and April.-W.
