anything. AS a matter of fact, as all
men know who have handled hogs, the
hog is more susceptible to diseases
and more often affected by unsanitary
conditions than any other animal on
the farm. The hog looks as though
he could stand cold weather in great
shape because of the large amount Of
fat on him and yet he is more likely
to be hurt by a draft or exposure
than COW or horse.
The improved hoghouse has helped
