the boar whether you gel
big litters or not.”
Kesslers, have used high
quality purebred Landrace
and Yorkshire boars in their
program, crossing the York
shire gilts with the Landrace
boars and back again to the
Yorkshire boars
At present there are 20
go l s and litters in the far
rowing house and the nurs
ery where the litters go at
three weks of age.
Off to a good start
The farrowing house, one
of the cleanest pig pens you
will see, is light and airy
with no disagreeable odor
The sows are contented and
well fed, but not;'; overfat
The litters are thrifty and
vigorous. ‘
“We believe in getting the
pigs off to a good start,”
Charles said, That is why
we are so particular around
the farrowing house.
On the first day of its life,
the little pig goes through a
series of manipulations to
give him a jump on disease
organisms and dietary up
sets
During the first 24 hours
of life the pig will be given
an injection of iron solution
in the ham to prevent anem
ia, a big killer of young pigs,
his wolf teeth will- be clip
ped and he will "he fed a'
spoonful of Aureornycin to
prevent the development of
scours and other digestive
upsets
Fifty other sows are bred
to farrow year round on the
farm At least one sow will
farrow every week during
the year to pro<tUce a con
stant supply of pigs The
hogs are topped 'out and
marketed to Musser’s slaugh
ter house at Buck,"'Pa and
to other local butchers A
contract with Hussars’ calls
for a certain number of fat
hogs to be delivered each
can be handled with the
same number of farrowing
crates
week which makes year
, , . As soon as a sow shows
round farrowing necessary, milk> she ig put m the far
but Charles feels it helps roWl ng crate where she
them too since more sows stays'until the pigs are born
YOUR IF .
Now...
May chicks are Money-Makers
This year more than ever —• it will pay
you to start chicks in May.
Present predictions expect 5 to 6% fewer lay
ing hens this year than last ... so there will be
a good market for your eggs next fall and winter.
But, in addition . . .
• May chicks are cheaper to grow. Much
less fuel is required in this favorable
weather than in winter.
• May chicks will lay large eggs earlier . .
and—if they are Bessies —will give 13-16
months of continuous high production.
