PLAN FOR HOG HOUSE.
Advice to n Farmer Who Wants to

1t is difficult to plan a hog house
where little is known of the conditions
governing. 1t is assumed that it is the
purpose Of the builder to grow and fat
ten 100 hogs per year. or in other
words that he is likely to have 100 hogs
to shelter at one time that will average
200 pounds each. This being the correct
assumption, it would hardly do to plan
building less than 32x50 feet, or the
ground. The building should stand
north and south, if the lay of the land
and other buildings will permit, SO as
to get sunshine into each pen at some
time during the day.
If the building cannot be so placed
