HOG HOUSES 



dows each contain four 12 x 14-inch lights and are set solid 

 and close together. The lower windows each contain four 

 10 x 12-inch lights. 



"The most striking feature of this house is the ingenious 

 way in which outside pens have been provided without hav- 

 ing them on the north side. There is an outside pen for 

 every inside pen except one, the sows on the north side going 

 out as indicated in Figure 14. This could not be- accom- 

 plished with any more pens. 



u The ventilators are 6x6 inches inside. The lower ends 

 are 2 feet above the floor and the upper ends just above the 

 comb of the roof. The south rafters are extended to meet 

 the north rafters so that no studs are needed under the south 

 edge of the north roof (See Fig. 13). Whether this gives 

 any advantage is doubtful. The sunshine will strike the 

 floor in all pens several hours a day on March 1. 



"The dipping tank is convenient, but in a cold place. 

 Perhaps this could be bettered."
