GIVING THE HOGS
COMFORTABLE SHELTER
BY w. L. Elliott, Montana Expert
ment Station.

Perhaps many of the farmers may
be tuated as We are at the present
tine in not having sufficient winter
quarters for the hogs At the pres
ent 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 in 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.
1t might be stated right here that
the material for the roof, ends and
floor of the hog house was ordinary
ks tongued and grooved flooring,
which cost us at the rate of s23 per
thousand. The other material used
was the ordinary 2x4 scaItling, which
cost SIS per thousand. First make a
platform GIG feet with four 2Xi pieces

left while mailing up the end, or the
end of the house may be nailed Iu
completely and then the opening
sawed out afterward. This door open
ing must of course be of sufficient
size to admit 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 of 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 it 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

supporting it and running the entire
length as skids. The platform will
appear as in Fig. 1.
Next 2x4 is supported Az feet
above the center of the platform, with
its long way running the same direc-
ton as the 2x4 skids supporting the
floor. Now begin to nail the boards
that are to make the slanting roof, to
the edge of the platform and also to
the 2x4 supported above the floor. 1t
will not be long before the slanting
roof boards will support the 2x4 at
the top and the false supports may be
knocked out. The hog house partly
built may be seen in Fig. 2.
After the roof is nailed on COM
pletely, then comes the ends of the
house. We first fit in pieces of 2X4
under the roof and resting on the
floor. One Of these may be seen in
Fig. 2. The bottoms of these are toe
nailed to the floor and the tops nailed
securely down through the roof To
these 2X4s the end boards are nailed.
The ends of the house should be so in
serted that the roof projects an inch
or so beyond, to prevent the rain leak
ing through in wet weather
In one of the ends the door is made.
The opening for door may either be

it was placed in a sort of a pocket
made in the hay. Here the cooking
continued slowly without any further
application of heat or any attention.
The subject was called to the atten.
ton of President Roosevelt who d.
ed with by the cOmmissary depart
ment This was done at Fort Riley,
Kas., under direction of Capt. M. s.
Murray, with the assistance of Latrobe
Bromwell, instructor of the school OF
army cooks, at that place. These ex-
periments were very successful, and
the scheme was heartily Endorsed. A
box suitable for army use has been de-
signed, and it is likely some great
changes in the conduct of the COM
pany kitchen are about to be made.
This method of food preparation has
been recently available for domestic
use by the introduction of the cooking
cabinet In the main this is nothing
more or less than a well-constcucted
box of oak. thoroughly insulated to
keep in the heat. 1t is SO inches long,
Is wide. and II deep. 1t is equipped
with three enamel vessels of con-
struction especially designed for this
character of work, having covers
which are clamped on to further facil-
itate the retention of the heat The
lids Of these vessels are held on by a
revolving bar-lock device, which not
only makes Theoretically tight joint,
but also acts as handle. One of
these three vessels is of eight quarts
capacity, and the other two four quarts
each. After the viands in the kettle
have been exposed to the heat of the
stove until boiling has taken place for
a minute or so, the lid is clamped into
place, and the whole pot transferred
to one of the pockets of the cooker.
The actual time consumed in the
preparation of food by this process is
about double that ordinarily required,
but the food may be left in very long
and will not be overdone. The saving
of fuel resulting from the use of the
cooker is considerable, and the bur-
dens of the housewife are about
halved.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1907-03-14

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
either 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
eped sufficiently stiff. so as to stay
wherever turned. The hog house
complete, showing swinging door and
ventilator 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
$3.50, and when one considers the
convenience Of a portable hog house
and also the efficiency of the same,
any such small cost is really matter
Of very little consequences.

people of an o. 'f-thc-way portion Of

interested in it that an organization

The system is based on the fact that

brought to the boiling point. The
operation proceeds just the same as if
it were directly over the fire, except
that it is much slower.

the continual tramping Of the pigs In
going in and out, cuts the soil so that
a hole is formed; then if the weather
is at all wet, this becomes simpi! a
filthy mud hole. With these individ-
ual houses, it is a very easy matter,
with the use of horse, to draw the
house to an entirely new, clean and
dry location.
The inestimable value of these
houses, where it is the wish to turn
the hogs out on some green pasture,
will demonstrate itself in the conve-
nience and quickness with which they
may be moved from place to place.
Such house, built according to the
foregoing plans, would require the
following material:
Thirty-one boards IX5, II feet long.
Seven pieces 2X4, II feet long.
Two pounds nails.
With such simple winter quarters
so easily provided, we trust that no
farmer will let his hogs go needing
shelter. 1t is expensive economy to
compel the hogs to use all the feed
that they receive to keep up bodily
heat Keep them warm, and a good
share of each days food goes to pro
duce gain.

Where They Are Not Wrapped.

oughly cooled. Care should be taken
that all the animal heat is out of the
body before the fowls are packed.
We always cool the birds at least u
hours before packing them.
The chickens are packed in boxes
as seen in figure 3. The box is lined
with parchment paper; and, if the
chickens are to be shipped a long dis
lance, each bird is wrapped in paper.
This prevents the chickens from
bruising each other, and, at the same
time, to a considerable extent, checks
decomposition.
Do not use ordinary wrapping pa
per, as it draws damphess, and will
cause the chickens to become clammy,
which make them more or less IN
salable.
There are several other kinds of
boxes used for shipping poultry.
Nearly every exporter has his own
packing.
For shipping locally, we use box
feet long, IL inches wide, and -
inches deep. The chickens are packed
similar to those seen in figure 8, with
the exception that they are three tiers
deep. The box will hold SO four and
one-half pound chickens.
The boxes are made strong so that
we can have the dealer return them
to be refilled. Do not use cedar in the
construction of the boxes, as in some
cases it taints the flesh. Eastwood or
spruce answers we'll.

to allow the blood to collect in the
neck. Where the birds are allowed
to become cool before being plucked,
it is very hard to avoid tearing the
skin; and the plucking is much more
tedious. The birds should be plucked
clean with the exception of about
two inches of feathers adjoining the
head.
After the chicken has been plucked
it should be placed on shaping
board, as seen in figures l and 2.
The weight placed on the top of the
chickens is used to give it compact
appearance. This weight may be of
iron, as seen in the cut, or brick
may be used in it's place. If chickens
are hung by the legs after being
plucked, it spoils their appearance,
making them look thin and ieggy.
Many good chickens are spoiled by
being packed before they are thor

that are considered proper. One is to
kill by bleeding. This method is con.
sidered to lie the better one in the
eastern states and also in some parts
of Canada. The other method is to
kill the bird by wringing or pulling
the neck. This is done by taking the
chicken in the hands, stretching the
neck, holding the crown of the head
in the palm of the hand and giving a
quick turn backward, and at the same
time steady pull
This method was favored by the
exporters of dressed fowls, but it is
not now, owing to the discoloration
where the blood collects in the neck.
Where chickens are placed in cold
storage this is serious objection. It
is claimed by the exporters that the

should begin at once. Care should
