MUDDY BARNYARD is
MOST INCONvENIENT
Keep Out All Water Possible and
Provide Means for Removing
All That Enters.

Both convenience and economy de-
mand dry barnyard. The flooded,
muddy barnyard drives the chore boy
off the farm, carries the manure pile
down the creek and makes the old COW
wallow in the mire to reach the water
tank or the barn door, A dry barn

Assume that fate has been most un-
kind to you--that you have inherited
q barnyard that is flooded by the high
or land, that it is so fiat that even its
own rainwater cannot escape, and that
ir has no convenient outlet for line
of tile to carry the water piped fIom
the eavestroughs.
With a road scraper or grader you
can throw up dixie around all but
the lower side of the yard. Seed grass
in the dixie and in the shallow ditch
on the outside of it. The dixie and
ditch will carry the flood water around
the yard.
Next. make a slope in the yard
Raise the floor or the barn until 1t Is
two feet higher than the surface OF

knoll to fill outside of the barn to with

floor. Haul enough to slope the sur
face gradually for fifty feet or more
away from the barn. Then pipe tbs
cave water to the ditch outside of the
dixie.
In short, keep out all the water yol
can and provide a means for remov

should be nearly the same size OF
they may pile up and smother the
smaller ones. If more than four or
fve are placed in a pen, the same
thing may happen, even if the shoats
are almost OF the same size.
The feeding and litter alley runs
through the center of the house
lengthwise between the two rows of
pens. Very often litter carrier is
installed though it is not as necessary
as in dairy barn. Along each row of
pens is a gutter, and the concrete
floors Of the pens are sloped slightly
SO that they can be easily washed out
1t is not absolutely necessary to have
the floors on slant, as the pens are
swept out very often, anyway.
The partitions between the pens is
almost always made of tight boards
so that each pen will be easier te
keep warm If hog wire is used il
is necessary to have the house full
in order to keep it warm.
Drafts must be prevented in hog
| houses, as they are very dangerous
to hogs of all kinds. It is also es
sential that ventilation be provided
One of the side windows can be lef
slightly open at the top and the fou
air will be drawn off by the ventilatol
I, on the roof.
| As the most likely place to develol
drafts is along the sills, they are mad,
very carefully. They are imbedded il
fresh cement mortar and the morta
is troweled against them on both tn,
inside and the outside. The concreti
/ foundation walls are carried up i
inches above grade so that no draft
will be caused along the ground.
