But. the lateer can only be avoided by selecting with great care sows capable of producing * strong, healthy litters. There is a~"marked difference in the number and vigor of pigs farrowed by sows of the same breed, and even greater difference between the breeds. Ordinarily, Poland-China sows" farfow small litters (ten to mine pigs); jut the pigs fatten quickly and mature easily. On: the other hand, Yorkshire sows produce large litters (ten to fif- teen pigs), which develop into large, growthy hogs. Berkshires awd Duroe- Jerseys fall between the above ex- tremes, both as regards size of litters and fattening qualities. Feeding For Eggs. Generally speaking, says an author- ity, the feed value of foodstuffs is not so well understood by the average poultry raiser and farmer as they should be for the largest profit. | have found that low-priced foodstufis, as a rule, are the most costly feed in the end, Foodstuffs, to have a practical valua must be sweet and clean, and be of a variety that will furnish the poultry just the nutriment required to de develop whatever particular product that may' be - desired, without the poultry having to digest a lot of waste material, that they have no immediate use for. As the old saying goes, "i. 8 just what you put into a thing as to what you take out." This saying is certainly true in the pouliry industry, as hens are only capable of developing eggs of meat to that ca- | pacity in aceordance with the material they have to work with. Nature has not given them the power of 'convert- ing what they eat mto any element different from the element the . feed actually contains, To illustrate the matter in a plain way, supposin, that 160 hens were fed one AO | of corn, which is a fair day's ration for that number, adoption of indiyidual drinking buck- ets for horses.
