As hogs are quite notabl affected
by extremes of cold and heat, the
character of their shelter will have
much to do with their successful
rearing. The above being true, we
will naturally do best with hogs when
we have arranged their home and
feeding grounds, to a certain extent
at least, such as he would choose for
himself in his wild state, writes j. E..
Bridgman in American Agriculturist
Proper shelter is no doubt the first
and most serious question, and while
the perfect hog house has not up to
date been invented, great improve
ments have been made during the
past few years.
The accompanying illustrations
show hog house that is well adapt
ed to almost every climate, except
the extreme south. AS shown by the
floor plan, the house is 2SxG2 feet
square, and 10 feet to the caves. The
lower story is feet, leaving ample
room above for bedding and feed. The
chop feed is stored in bins above and
drawn through the spouts A A A.
Mixing barrels or boxes are placed
close to the cooker, shown at c, and
the cooked or steamed feed carried to
the pens in wheeled feeder. \ root

FEEDING RACK FOR ALFALFA

A large number of successful farm
ers feed alfalfa hay on the ground,
claiming that hogs are almost Ger
tain to pull the hay out of racks and
eat it from the ground more Or less
anyway. In cold weather when the
ground is frozen or when the yard
is dry, there would seem to be no seri-
GUS objection to feeding alfalfa in this
manner. Hogs are less delicate in
their choice of food than other farm
animals and are inclined to eat the
hay though 1t has been somewhat
soiied. If, however. the ground is
soft there is certain to be a consider
able waste, due to the fact that some
OF it is trampled into the mud
At the Nebraska experiment farm
alfalfa hay is fed to hogs from an or
binary sheep rack, having vertical
Stats about three inches apart. Just
wide enough to permit the hogs to
reach the hay. These racks stand
aSout four feet high and are approx
mately Chree feet wide at the top and
eighteen inches at the bottom The
accompanying drawing shows a very
satisfactory rack made from wire fenc-
ing. This design was furnished by
prGG Chase of the department of farm
mechanics of the University of Ne
braska. The rack has been used by
several well .;E3wn farmers in the
state and all who have ried it seem
well pleased, owing to the simplicity
Of its construction and the fact that
there is little waste o. hay 1t is

sists of inches of cement. The feed
room is also used as slaughter
house. galvanized iron vent stack
is placed over the cooker to carry
away the steam, and good brick flue
is built in the corner, as shown. The
house is sided with drop siding, and
lined on the inside with 6-inch floor

one leading to the yards. A sliding
door, shown at b, closes the driveway

All hog men have their own ideas
of arranging the feed and water
troughs. However, a good plan is
shown in the pen marked X A nest
is built in the rear corner, a water
trough placed in front, a feed trough
along the side. and a 2x4 timber is
then placed across the pen from the
rear end of feed trough. This makes

hogs will seldom foul this part of the
floor. The house should set on a
