Note the length of body and leg of these pigs. The finishing period.—If the shotes have been fed enough concen- trates to keep them growing rapidly and have been laying on a con- siderable amount of fat at the same time, the finishing period need not exceed 8 weeks, unless a rising market warrants feeding them longer. The feeder should remember that after the first few weeks of heavy feeding more and more feed is required to produce a given gain, the cost thus steadily increasing. Finishing the shotes is best accomplished by restricting the amount of exercise, reducing the allowance of coarse feed, and giving all the carbohydrate-rich concentrates, such as corn, barley, kafir, milo, and emmer, that the pigs will consume, with sufficient protein-rich feeds to balance the ration. Especially during the first part of the fattening period, considerable use can be made of legume hay or pasture crops. Fattening pigs should drink water freely, being forced to do so, if.
