Every check or halt in prosperity through its first two months is more expensive than at any later period. Too much rich. feverish milk of the dam. causing thumps or other ailment. may leave harmful results. perhaps as much so as scant feeding or other neglect of the. sow. More injury may be done to a pig's growth in two or three days than can be repaired in a month. even if he is made the subject of special care. which. where many are raised is not the ruin nor easily pran- tlcnblc. "Good luck" with pigs calls for attention. and that not occasional. but frequent and regular. From tho first wee-k after far-rowing until weaning time the sow will be little else than a milk machine. and to be a high-power machine in perfect opera- tion she must have proper care. Noth- im: also is so well calculated to make pigs grow as a. bountiful simply of wholesome sow's milk. and the pigs that have. plenty of other feed with the milk of 'a well—sionpod sow for eight \vnnks ’will ordinarily have much the start ’nf those weaned at five or six wcekrs. no matter how much food and attention the earlier weaned pigs may hare hall. At night or nine weeks old most pigs are. or rather should be. fit to take awav from the sow: some litters are individually older at scvon weeks than others at ten. and better fitted for weaning. Sometimes it is nPCeaaary to wean when thna pigs are five or six was-ks old. and in other casoa it may be advisnhlc to wait until the pigs are ten weeks or even older. in the corn bolt the poriod will L'cneraily average longer than in New England.

Each Is fitted with a gate. which should swing wily and be large in order that the hogs may pass through it in large numbers with- out too much crowding. Across the gate posts of the part the pigs are to use. a board should be nailed. high enough to let the pigs pass through it but not. high enough for the sows. With such an arrangement slapping can be easily and satisfactorily done. The feeder can pass into the lot. close the gate. and fill the troughs without the sows scrambling all around him.
