Mr.. Slocum seems to have the right

the male hog. He expects 60 pigs in
the spring. He considers sheaf oats,
cut just trifle on the green side, as

With the right system, 1t is an easy
matter to keep the pens clean. Hogs
are not naturally dirty ct all, and it is
generally the owners who are to blame
for the unclean surroundings. Across
each hogs pen is z plank about eight
inches high, on edge and running dag
