PIGGERY. 



The swine-feeding industry of the Dominion is capable of indefinite extension, 

 with advantage to the farmers. To provide for the accommodation of this class of 

 live stock on the farm, a piggery was erected during the summer. In the details of 

 its construction an effort was made to embody those points in the building and 

 ari'angement of the pens which could be copied with advantage by farmers, and also 

 by those who feed the by-products of dairies upon a large scale in connection with 

 cheese factories and creameries. 



The following figures illustrate the plan of the pens : —

Notes. — The feed 

 room contains 12 bins ; 

 the flue in the comer 

 accomodates the 

 steam-heater. There 

 are three large venti- 

 lators up through the 

 roof. 



The floors of the 

 Pens are all finished 

 with two coats of oil 

 applied hot ; they 

 have a fall of 2 inches 

 towards the gutters 

 on both sides of the 

 passage. There will 

 be a small yard out- 

 side for each Pen.
