HOW CAN / HELP MY SOWS FARROW BIG UTTERS?
Feed Purina Sow Chow, of Course^
Yes, Purina Sow Chow has been builtthrough many years of careful nutritional studies
on over 5,000 litters of pigs at Purina’s Research Farm.
Purina Sow Chow has everyth!ngyour sow needs to help her develop, farrow and nurse
big litters of husky pigs and maintain her own body weight at the same time.
Authorities estimate that 20% to 33% of all pig embryos conceived are resorbed by
the sow early in the gestation period, if she is fed a poorly balanced ration.
So hogmen who neglect the ration they give their sows, lose lots of pigs they never
even see!
That’s why it pays to feed a proved ration like Purina Sow Chow.
Stop in and see us today about either Purina Sow Chow Complete or Purina Sow Chow
Concentrate to mix with your grain. /

Test Corn For Eating
Strip back the husk of a well
filled corn ear on the plant
Crush a few of the kernels with
vour thumbnail If a milk-like
juice spurts from the kernels,
your corn is in the milk stage
and ready for picking. If the
milk doesn’t come, and the
kernels feel doughy, you have
waited too long, says James O.
Dutt, extension vegetable crops
