THINGS TO COME Last week at the Provincial Ix- ihibltion a man came into the Vet lerinary Office in the rear of the grandstand. to discuss some oi the problems which heghad in his herd. Du "rig the course the conversa- tion. he said this is the time of year that he really looked forward to because it affords an opportu- nity to attend the various exhibi- tions and farmers' meetings. and gives one a chance to see how other people do things and pick up valuable information. This same opportunity is avail- Dable for every farmer in the pro-

PBIVINTION OF LOSSES IN PIGS

One or more of these con- ditions present in a smhll uegree and combined with poor sanitation. allows young pigs to 3 come high- ly suacepti ” to microbes i parasites. Anotlcr danger in pigs n-' usually recognized. is the weakling or "ru t". This animal serves as a reservoir for worms 1 ' other invaders. therefore. it ehuuid he dpatrnve-' ”v"'- 0'19?

Through the cold months, how- ever. when animals must be rais- in pens the source of iron re feraed to is not available and s reserves of this mineral present in their bodies at birth are used up by the time 'he pigs are about three weeks of age. Feeding the sow iron is not a pl tection since this mineral is not excreted in the milk in amounts which satisfy its requirements of nursing plus. it the young pig is not supplied with iron it is unable to obtain ibl: blood building element until
fallen a victim to anaemia. which either proves fatal or leaves a stunted unprofitable pig, readily susceptible to infection. iron must therefore be supplied in some form to piglets raised in pens.
.. :xcellent way to accomplish this is to put up sods in the autumn sufficient to supply each nursing pig with one square foot of sod per week. These sods must be ob- tained from a source free from pig manure in order that danger- ous parasites may be avoided. They should be sprinkled lightly with a solution of sulphate of iron (copperasl dissolved in one quart of water. This reinforces the amount of iron in the soil. A creep should be built which permits the youni! pigs access to the soda and keeps the sow away. Another sa- t' ' t y way of preventing anae- mia is to place on the tongue of each young pig. a day or two fol- lowing birth - about three grains of reduced iron. This should be followed with thrc further doses given about a week apart. Since this form of iron is a powder which will not dissolve in water. many have a three-grain sample of the drug weighed out by a druggist. With this as a guide the proper quantity for each pig may be calculated by appearance, if reduced iron is not available pow- dercd sulphate of iron may be similarly employed except that ill- grain doses are administered.
if these preventive measures are neglected and the condition be- comesiiufficiently pronounced to be iecognized. then the same methods must be used for treat- ment. The symptom which marks the advanced disease is a sudden whitening of the ears of young pigs. which is particularly striking in white breeds. Death often takes
