There nre comparatively few large milkers among rows. though there is considerable difference iu this respect. The sows thai were set to breeding early, and in the intervals of breeding were kept growing and not fattened, give much more milk than those thai It is, however, hardly worth while to encourage the breeding of* sows to be oxtra large milkers, as the pigs can easily ho satisfied with oilier feed that is equally good for ilioni. Skim milk from the dairy is the best, wilh the addition of some cooked wheat middlings, of which a very small quantity will thicken, when cooked, so as to fill a large pail. If one or two lablesp<>oiifuls of linseed meal are cooked with the middlings, the feed will bo nearly or quite as good for the pigs as that which the sow furnishes, and there is no limit to the amount that can be made. There is, therefore, no excuse for letting young pigs grow unthrifty because their dam does not furnish a proper supply of milk.
