WATERBURY,

The addition to the state plggery,
which is being built on the DuXbury
farm, makes this the largest connect
ed with any of the state institutions
and probably one of the largest in the
state, Running parallel with the main
| road, but back from it, is the new
part, $50 feet long and % feet wide.
| Three feet OF the outside walls are
of cement, with four feet above OF
| boarding. The floors are of cement
and the walls between the pens. This
has % pens against "a in the origi-
nal structure. Each will accommo-
| date six or seven sows, but as there are
| now 400 on the farm, one viii see there
will be no lack of tenants. This runs
at right angles with the former build
ing and joins the cookroom. Every
sanitary method is taken advantage of
and with plenty of water and air a !, is
it to the piggery will be interesting to
everyone. The piggery on the Yer
mont state hospital farm Is becoming
recognized as business institution
| and this past year many pigs have
been sold besides furnishing the insti
tuition with pork. A truck full of pa
tients and attendants making the trip
each day has caused some wonderment
as to what they could be doing, but
there is much digging out of the sand
banks and grsveling around the build
ings, also good deal of road build
ing around the big barn. Constant
improvements are being made all the
time and this additional room in the
building makes the equipment much
| more valuable.
