SUGGESTIONS FOR
PIGGERY FOR FARM
BY a Canadian Expert.


The plan herewith illustrates good
idea for hog building about 50x16
feet II is not given as being ideal
since no plan could possibly be the
best for every feeder. 1t includes
several ideas which could be incorpor-
ated into almost any plan of a pig
gerry.
A frequently neglected feature in
building piggeries is the providing
of convenient passages for cleaning,
bedding and moving pigs from pen to
pen. A study of this floor plan will
show that this important feature is
not neglected.
The building may, of course, be OF
any length to accommodate from 20
10 100 pigs or more. Two rows Of
pens flank the passage, one on either
side. Doors, two feet wide, open off
the passage into each pen. The feed
Ing is done from the passage. The
pens are 10 feet front and IL feet
deep being large enough for four to
eight animals, according to size. In
the plan FL. FL. FL are feeding

which places direct tax on the
farmer. About 20 years ago
some one conceived the idea
that the manufacture Of bur
lap cloth might be trans
ferrcd from India to the United
States, by placing a high duty
upon the importation of the cloth.
Discussing the result Bryan S
Commoner says:
For twenty years the consum-
ers in this country have been com
PEELED to pay this duty, and today
there is no manufacture worth
mentioning Instead India con
tinues to make the cloth and up
on this necessity the consumer has
been paying a stiff tax. Burlap
cloth, or rather the bags which
American factories make from it,
is used very largely by flour mil
lers, by grain, sugar, cottonseed
meal and fertilizer dealers. A tax
on them is, therefore, plainly Il
tax on necessity transferred
bodily to the consumer. The opin-
ion of practically all men in the
business is that the fact that the
raw material, jute, comes only
from the vicinity of Calcutta,
makes it not only Improbable but
unsafe as an investment, since
the country that controls a raw
material can always use an export
tax to destroy a business located
elsewhere and dependent upon
this material for existence.
1t is a remarkable fact, quite
apropos here, that even with raw
cotton at our doors three-fifths Of
our great cotton crop is shipped
to foreign countries hunting for
cheap labor to make it into goods.
Part of this comes back into this
country, paying freight and heavs
duties, to compete successfully
with our own high priced labor.
Only 2 per cent of the cotton
goods required by the cotton i'm
porting countries is manufactured
and exported by us. With this be-
ing the case, it can be easily fig
ured out what would happen il
anybody here would try to import
raw Jute from a country where tn
cheapest sort Of labor abounds for
our high-priced labor to make into
loW-grade goods like burlap cloth.
last year over oOO,OOO,0OO square
yards of brrlap cloth was import
ed into the United States. A third
OF this was used for the bags
which contain fertilizer, poultry
and stock foods. The tax ON this
third was 81 100000, directly paid
by the farmer, planter and stock
raiser. The market value of this
cloth was over $25,O00,O0O, and
the tariff tax amounted to 10 per
eent-to protect an industry that
does not exist and never can exist
duced from 22.91 per cent to 22.12
per cent.
