imagines that they are very hardy and can forage for themselves because they will eat anything that is placed in front of them. Hogs will weather many bad storms and considerable ex- posture but, if man is raising hogs for profit and not just to eat up all the leftover material from the house. he will protect them and keep them in good condition The raising of hogs is one of the most profitable phases of farming if hegs are given or dinary care.
 The floor, the foundation, and the walls up to IS inches above grade are constructed of concrete and are made solidly together. This construction positively protects the building from being infested with yermin and also floor and the lower part of the walls, which are the most likely to become dirty. Another advantage Of the walls extended above grade is that 1t pro tects the hogs from a draft, which is very important.
 The hoghouse is, of course. faced toward the south, 50 that the hogs can have the benefit of all the sunshine that is available. The windows are built long and extend from about a foot or two above the concrete to within | inches of the roof This d. lows the sunshine to penetrate into the back corners of the house and Naa,, ~b a e;ntor;or iv a rIaop eani.ary condition. More provision should be made for sunshine in hoghouse than fin any other farm building.
 Small doors are placed under the windows, so that the hogs can come out during the nice weather. A yard can be built around the house. as shown in this illustration, or outside pens can be made. If the pens are built they are often made with con crete floors, 90 that they can be cas- fly kept clean. The concrete for these floors does not have to be of very good material. as it can be more easily re- paired than If made in an expensive way.
 In the construction of the hoghouse the walls and ceilings are made dou- ble, so as to keep the interior warm and comfortable. The walls are made of by { studding which is placed on . sill on the concrete side walls. The connection between the sill and the wall must be carefully made so as to eliminate the possibility of drafts. The outside of the studding is covered with siding.

The accompanying floor plan and perspective view show a small hog house of size that will be suited to many a farm where the raising of hogs is not the main occupation but is conducted on a smaller basis. It is very necessary io nave a good winter house for hogs. whether the business of raising them is taken up on a small or a larger scale. In spite of all the fat which they carry around they are the most sensitive of all the farm ami malls to cold and exposure.
 The construction of good hoghouse does not present many difficulties and there is. therefore. very little excuse for a farmer who will not build one to keep his hogs in. The average person who has had no experience with hogs
