Sleeping Quarters For Hoas.

which such careful attention should
be given to cleanliness of the hogs

Oftentimes hogs are allowed to sleep
all winter long in sheds or other sleep

during the whole season. In order to
keep hogs thoroughly healthy such
sleeping quarters should be cleaned
out at least once Il week. The sheds
and houses should be carefully disin-

fresh bedding
