left while mailing up the end, or the
end of the house may be nailed up
completely and then the opening
sawed out afterward. This door open
ing must of course be of sufficient
size to admit a fully matured hog. The
door left in our pens was 20 inches
wide and "a inches deep. OF course,
these may be made larger or smaller,
as the case demands.
A swinging door, as in Fig. 3, is
then fitted to the opening; and the
hinges, which are at the top, are
simply loops of wire. This wire runs
through holes bored above the door
and also through two holes through
the top CT the door, the idea being
to have the door swing either in or
out, according to the will Of the hog.
Some people seem to think that swing
ing doors are awkward for the hogs,
but this is not so. The very first night
that our individual pens were used, It
happened to be quite cool, and the
hogs in nosing around the door soon
found that 1t would swing inward and
that there was shelter within.
OF course, In warm winter weather
or in the summer, these doors may be
tied upward, as in such weather they
are not necessary. The entrance door

Perhaps many OF the farmers may
be situated as we are at the present
time. I'm not having sufficient winter
quarters for the hogs At the pres
cnt time we are not able to build com
modious quarters, so the idea occurred
to us to provide individual portable
hog houses for the young boars and
sows. and also for the sows that are
not due to farrow for some time. We
have therefore built several small
portable houses. to hold from two to
six hogs, depending upon the size.
These houses have been I'm use for
more than two months; and the idea
is such a practical one. and the out
lay SO small that we give our exact
plan for building
10 might be stated right here that
the material for the roof. ends and
floor of the hog house VAS ordinary
1X5 tonguod and grooved flooring,
which cost us at the rate OF $23 per
thousand. The other material used
was the ordinary 2Nl scantllng, which
cost Slj per thousand First make a

is placed preferably to one side Of
the center Of the end, so that the pigs
may, in a measure, get inside and to
one side of any draft that may come
from the door.
To provide additional ventilation TO
that which would be obtained from a
loosely fitting swinging door, two
round openings are placed, one in
eitller end Of the house, near the peak
of the roof These ventilating holes
are about six inches across, and are
controlled by swinging blocks, fast
ened sufficiently stiff, so IS to stay
wherever turned. The hog house
complete, showing swinging door and
vantilator hole, will appear as in Fig.
3. Now If an armful of straw be
placed inside of one of the houses, we
have a snug, comfortable and warm
winter house.
These houses can be built inside Of

RARE SKELETON is FOUND.
Bones of the LoNolophodon Secured
from Southern Wyoming.

There arrived in New York last
week for the Museum of Natural His
tory the skeleton of loxolophodon. 1t
was unearthed in southern Wyoming,
where the great beast roamed in large
numbers many centuries ago, by an
expedition sent out from the museum
by Prof. II. F. Osborn and headed by
Prof. Walter Granger. Speaking Of
the success attending the search,
Prof. Granger said:
I'VE found the skeleton OF the
largest mammal living at the time
and for which we made careful search.
This huge mammal was known as the
loxolophodon, mixture of elephant
and rhinoceros. II had six horns
two enormous ones in the back of the
skull, two smaller ones over the eyes
and two rudimentary horns on the
tip of the nose.
1--WE obtained an interesting lot of
the skeletons Of the titanotheres, a
smaller animal than the last; numer
Gus specimens of the carvora, includ-
ing the largest Of the time, the mes.
onyx; many rodents, or squirrel-like
mammals; some of the earliest camel
like, even toed, hoofed mammals; an
achenedon, one of the very large, even
toed animals, with piglike teeth and
feet and an early primate like the
lemurs, notharctus. In all we OBJ
