Pennsylvania or perhaps in the United
State, has just been completed st Economy
The cost of the pen or nursery, up to date,
il -. 600. 1t Is constructed not only on
sanitary principles, but with special regard
10 the comfort of each and every porkar
which finds a place within its walls. 1t Ii
heated BE- two large stoves, and the entire
pen is covered with glass roof with proper
ventilators. The eating room is separated
from the rest Of the pen and everything Is
kept scrupulously clean by twoattendants
whose sole duty it is to take care OF the
pigs and look after the heating and ven
tilating of the building, At present the
pen contains 800 as fine young porkers as
can be seen anywhere. They seem to
thrive in their well kept home, and appear
to reaGze their superiority over new
conner which they eye with disdaiu.
