ing fronts so that the hogs can be
readily transferred from one pen to an
other. The pens are also equipped
with removable partitions so that the
size sof the various pens can be
changed readily. The small pen doors

lators placed on the roof, one at each
end.
The feed carrier and the litter car.
riers are both handled on one track
that runs down between the two rows
of pens. This concentrates all the
work in one alley, which simplifies
the handling of the work to large
extent
The fences that divide up the out
side pens are placed two inches above
the concrete, so that the cleaning can
be taken care of. The yard can be
placed on a slight slope and the ma
nure can then conveniently be
scraped toward the low corner. A pit
can be dug for the manlfre spreader
at this corner so that the loading will
be easy or it can be driven up to the
corner and filed in the usual way.
Hogs should be kept out of doors
as much as possible, so that the hog
house will not be used except in win

the idea that it is NOT necessary be-
cause it is not used all the time.
When the hoghouse is wanted there is
nothing that will take it's place. This
is especially true at narrowing time,

Sunshine is one of the most inn

hogs are to be raised with profit their
living quarters must be kept in the
best possible sanitary conditions. The
best way to secure such conditions is
by having plenty of sunlight in all
parts of the house. For this reason
the hoghouse should be faced toward
the south. Simply facing it in this di-

The firm of which Mr.. Baker is pres

products and this was mis- annual visit

"Oregon prunes are getting in better
repute,' said Mr.. Baker, through the
consistent efforts of packers to put up
a better grade of product. Growers
must get uniform system of drying,
in order that the product sold to the
packers will be uniform"
Since the packers are taking more
care, the Oregon prunes now compare
favorably with the California product.
As for the future of the business, Mr..
Baker was of the opinion that it was
especially bright for prunes, whenever
the war in Europe ends, as Germany
would become neavy buyer and alb
sorb the greater part of the Oregon
product.
Mr.. Baker represents one of the
largest shippers of prunes in the east.

compete successfully with the Califor-
MIA product, ne insisted that growers
