PIG FEEDING AND PENS.

The superintendent Of the Expert

gives in7h his-rcport his plan So- caring
for his pigs: which has all t advan-
tage Of economy and seems to be
best adapted to the nature of the
hcg. He says: .."Oa The opening

Der Of piestyes in which to feed
porkers for sale, and, being anxious
to keep down the cost of the buildings
as much IS possible, did not use as
phalte for, floors, determining first to
test whether the arrangements carried
out IN the loose box system (Which
had with cattle produce such good re-
srits) would be as successful when ap-
pied TO pigs: The results were 50
satisfactory that l altogether aban-

latter for five or six half.grown, sows
