 divided nito 16 single pens. As there is no post in 

 the outside corner of the tirst pen, some provision must 

 be made for staying it. This can be done by driving a

 large sow will often do. The fenders should project at 

 least eight inches into the pen and allow eight inches in 

 the clear between the fender and the tloor."
