BUILD SUITABLE HOG HOUSES
Building May BE Cheap and Simple In
Construction, but Should Be Con-
venient-Easily Arranged.


When hogs are handled in large
numbers, or where twenty or more
brood sows are kept, hog house
large enough to accommodate the ma
jority of the stock is often found.
This system has the advantage of en-
abling the breeder to handle his hogs
with less expenditure of labor and
time than is possible If they are scat
tered over larger area.
! When such a house seems desirable,
it may be cheap and simple in con-
struction, but should be convenient.
It should run east and west, and is
most easily arranged with a row OF
pens on each side of an alley way,
which extends the entire length of the
building. The walls may be Of one.

pens dry and free from disease. The
pens should be Z by 8, or, for large
sows, 8 by 10 feet. /. VI:
There are many things to be said
in favor OF individual houses. First
of all the hogs can be scattered more,
thus lessening the chances. of disease
spreading through the entire herd.
Secondly, fields and pastures may be
utilized regardless Of their location or
proximity to other farm buildings.
Third, such buildings are quite mex.

Street gowns of serge or broadcloth
