Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-06-01
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Nearly every winter there are a
large number of farmers and stock
men who become convinced that the
profitable raising Of swine requires a
well designed and carefully construct
ed winter hog house. The spring fol-
lowing a hard winter finds these men
planning for the construction of such
a building, which they erect during
the warm weather in readiness for the
next winter.
Fall pigs must be carried through
the winter to get the money value out
Of them. A few pigs may be left to
root around the straw stacks, but rails
Ing good hogs to make money requires
careful planning to breed two filters
year, at the right time to fit in with
the seasons.
The breeding plan on most well-con-
Quoted stock farms divides the farrow-
ing between April for spring pigs, and
October for winter pigs. October far

rowing gets young pigs along to the
shoat age during thee early part of the
winter. Just when they should be
growing their best is when the ex-
tremely cold weather is coming on and
q good house is necessary to induce
them to make proper gains in weight.
With well designed and carefully
built house, any farmer can raise pure
bred stock and sell the best animals at
high prices. Hogs for fattening should
be made to weigh from $50 to 200
pounds when they are eight months
old. This is generally the most prof
table age and weight and it is the
age and weight wanted by the pack
ers. In order to attain this standard,
each pig must gain nearly pound per
day from birth to market time. This
is a very profitable average gain for
the hogs to make and it is reasonable
to expect such gain when Well-bred
hogs are well fed and properly cared
for in every way.
In the accompanying PLAN it will be
noticed that the pens are snail. In
practice it has been found better not
to nest more than five or six pigs to-
gether. They are better in small lots,
even if the pens are made quite small.
When house is narrow and built
with a double set of windows, it is

Floor Plan.

easier to get the sun into every part
of the house than it is when the house
is wider. The length, of course, makes
no difference in this respect.
The foundation of the building is
concrete and concrete floor is spread
over the entire surface with proper
cutters formed along the length of the
building on each side of the central
passage. Troughs shown on the plan
may also be built of concrete, the
forms required for their construction
being exceedingly simple. A concrete
floor in a hoghouse is almost an abso-
Lutte necessity, but it is too cold for
hogs to sleep on. For this reason, the
nests are placed on loose, wooden
floors which may be moved about for
cleaning. These floors are about half
the size Of the pens. There should be
d ridge around the edge of each floor
to- hold the bedding.
The upper windows are pivoted so
ANY number of them may be pulled
open for ventilation. With five shoats
in each pen, the house will be warm
enough to have some of the windows
omen most of the time. OF course,
hogs need ventilation just as much as
uny other animal in order that they
may maintain their good health
The pens are divided with solidly
constructed fencing. space between
boards being sufficient to allow a free
