PIGS REQUIRE SPECIAL FEED Des Moines, Ia. Many farmers are sustaining losses among their pigs be cause of failure to pay attention to mineral feeding, the Iowa Homestead says. "At the close of the winter season and before pasture is available fall pigs are often suffering from mineral deficiency in their bodies because of having been fed for several months on rations poorly balanced. "Lack of minerals in the feed does not show itself in pigs until they are several months old. In the first place, so long as a pig nurses, it receives an abundance of mineral matter and its bone3 develop normally. After wean ing, in seasons when pasture is not available, unless a mineral mixture is supplied the pig bones gradually weaken and this condition shows it self in stiffness or so-called rheumatism."
