Concrete Hog House.

A great many farmers object to the
use Of concrete for the hog house, be-
cause they say they are cold in winter
and not good for narrowing sows.
This objection can be easily overcome
by the use of separate platform for
sows; ebut for the other hogs, all that
is necessary is a good bed Of clean
litter.
