MODERN DESIGN
FOR HOG HOUSE
Proper Housing Is Essential to

Colleges Than Hog Houses

Success In raising hogs depends on
two things-well-bred stock, both
sows and sires, and proper housing.
Well-bred stock is plentiful. and no
farmer in these days of better farm
live stock can afford to breed or raise
scrubs" In every community, espe-
cially In the so-called corn belt"
states, hogs are one Of the principal
farm products, and high-bred, If not
registered pureLred sires, are avaia-
BILE. With a start OF one or two we'll
bred sows and the service Of a pure
bred boar, careful management will
insure good profit in hog raising.
The second essential-gOod houses
Is just as available as good breeding
stock. During the last ten or more
years, architects who have made
careful study Of the needs of farm anil
mails have designed, and local con.
tractors have erected, thousands Of
buildings-barns, hog houses and
chicken houses-that provide the live
stock with houses where they can be
kept at the highest state of productive
" and In the best Of health.
The product that farmers turn into
cash with their hogs is flesh. Both
can be obtained with scrub" stock,
but the cost is prohibitive. About the
same amount Of care will bring well.

essentials to healthy yOhng pigs cost
nothing and can be obtained In abun-
dance by planning the house correctly
and constructing II according to the
modern knowledge Of what is best for
the animals.
BY proper care In laying the con-
crete foundations and floor this hog
house can be built at any season Of
the year By heating the aggregates

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Red clover has been styled the cor
ner stone of agriculture in the North
Central and Eastern states.
Many farmers will begin laying the
corner stone as early as February,
when It Is customary In many sections
to SOW red clover on the surface Of the
snow, so that 1t will sink into the soil
with the first thaw In the spring. Red
clover Is hardy, and is not injured by
ordinary cold and the fact that II can
be sOwn at season when work on the
farm is comparatively light adds to
the economy Of Its cultivation.
The first important point to be OBJ
served is the selection of good seed,
say specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. Consider
able care should be used In this re-
spect well In advance of the time of
seeding. This is particularly true at
present, when large proportion of
thc tCu CioNcI Sceu uocu III the OhitCN
States comes from abroad. If poor
seed is used the expected crop may be
. partial or total failure.
Good Seed Is Plump.
Good red clover seed is plump or
well filled, bright with slight luster,
the color OF individual seeds ranging
from violet to light yellow. The indi-
vidual seeds should be at least me-
dunn sized and fairly uniform, free Of
adulterants of any kind and from
seeds Of noxlous weeds.
Homegrown seed is desirable, espe-
clally in the North, because 1t Is al
most certain to be adapted to local
conditions. II 1t Is not available. sam

3, laid on edge and with the upper
corners rounded of, makes a good
roost A pole, or even piece Of
board or 3 inches wide, may be
used. II the roost Is Of light material
and fairly long, 1t should be support
ed in the center, as well as at the
ends, to prevent II from sagglng bad
ly. An allowance Of to 10 inches
Of roost space per fowl, according to
the size of the birds, should be made.
If more than one roost Is used, they
should be placed about Is inches
apart.
Provide Simple Nesta
Nests must be provided and may be
very simple. ANY box about foot
square and 8 or 9 inches deep Is
suitable. An ordinary orange box
with the partition In the middle
serves very well, each box forming
two nests. The top Is removed, the
box laid on its side, and strip 3
to inches wide nailed across the
lower front. Nests can be fastened
against the walls of the house or set
on the floor. 1t is preferable to fasten
them against the walls, as they take
too much floor space II set on the
floor. One nest should be provided
for each four or five hens.

ment Of Agriculture.)
Piano and packing boxes can be
successfully converted into adequate
backyard poultry houses, but many
owners Of small fiocks prefer build
ing erected especially for the purpose,
because 1t usually presents a better
appearance In the back yard. For
such, poultry specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
suggest plans for a poultry house of
the shed or slope-rOof type that will
make small flock comfortable and
be neat In appearance.
This building is 8 by 8 feet square,
and is 9 feet high In front and feet
high IN the rear. The house may be
made higher with little extra cost and
would be more convenient to work in.
The ventllator in the rear Is not need
ed In the northern part of the country.
The roof is covered with roofing pa
per. The same material may be used
on the sides or II desired the cracks
may be covered with wooden strips
three inches wide. Such a house Is
large enough for a flock of 20 hens.
Dry Floor a Necessity.
II the soil is well drained and re-
mains dry no floor need be used in
the house. Often a slight dampness
can be corrected by filling up the floor
several inches above the outside
ground with sand. gravel, or dry dirt.
Three or four inches Of the surface of
the floor should be removed and re-
placed with fresh earth once or twice
year. The run should be spaded up
at least once year. II the ground
is so wet or damp that this condition
cannot be- corrected by filling, 1t is
best to provide board floor, as this
will help to keep the house dry. will
allow easier cleaning, and will pro
mote the general health and welfare
of the hens. A house with board
floor should be set on posts or blocks.
so that It is 8 to IL inches above the
ground. When this space is left the
floor win not rot so quickly and rats
will not be so likely to take refuge
under the house.
The dropping boards and roosts
should be placed against the back
wall. Here they are out Of the way
and also are least likely to be reached
BY drafts. The dropping boards
should be about 20 to 80 inches from
the floor, depending on the height OF
the building. This gives space enough
under them 30 that the hens have
room 20 exercise and is not too high
for the heavier hens to fly up to. The
roosts should be 3 or 4 inches above
the dropping boards. If more than
single roost is used. they should be
on the same level: otherwise all the
hens will try to crowd upon the high
est roost. A piece Of 2 by or 2 by

Gaming with dice and cards has pre-
vailed from the earliest times. We
do not read Of gambling houses In the
classic literature of Greece. but there
can be no doubt that the vice was very
widely practiced In private houses. In

prevailed extensively. Augustus and
most Of the succeeding sovere,gns were
passionately fond Of the dice. and the
Emperor Claudius wrote book on the

orsd young pig to marketable size In
half the time required by a scrub"
and the amount Of feed both consume
per day Is practically the same.
Before the days Of efficient hog
houses, a farmer considered himself
lucky II half the litter was brought to
maturity. Young pigs are subject to
many diseases and have little stamina
to withstand them. Pneumonia is one
Of them. The pigs that were Uttered
In the early spring and were not
housed In weather-proof, well-venti-
lated and warm quarters had and still
have little chance Of reaching ma
turity.
II was with these facts in mind that
.he modern hog house was designed.
And In passing II might be said that
40 type of farm building has been
given more attention In the agricul-
tural colleges than hog houses.
The modern hog house Is well
constructed building. II usually Is set
On concrete foundation. with con-
crete floor. The side walls are wealth
er-tight, and the roof Is designed 50
that a maximum of sunlight can reach
me pens on both sides Of the building.
Also some system Of ventilation. either
through the roof or by the suction ven-
tflators that are used on every modern
Hairy barn, Il provided. Half Of the
foors. whether they be Of concrete or
1nders, are covered with heavy
soards. raised slightly above the

Protects American Farmers.
A seed-testing service Is maintained
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. where 2o.63S samples OF
various seeds were examined and
tested In the last fiscal year-1e. 442 In
washington and 1896 In the Ave
branch seed-testing stations. Similar
service Is offered By the various state
experiment stations. The department
also exercises a strict inspection serv-
ice over field seeds brought from for
eirn countries, and last year 100000
pounds Of various seeds were rejected
ar held for cleaning before being al
lowed to be offered to American farm
ers.
