Portable Pig 

 Houses. 



The brood sow should have the run of a clover 

 patch in summer. A small portion of the clover 

 field may be hurdled off and a portable pig house 

 (see III. 120) constructed to shelter the animals from 

 the hot sun and storms. Each brood sow should 

 have a separate enclosure and a portable house in 

 which to rear her young in summer. The same style 

 of house may be used for the young pigs during the 

 summer. In order to get the best results it is nec- 

 essary to provide shelter in the clover or rape pasture 

 during the summer season. A pair of horses will 

 haul the portable pig house wherever required.
