The covered end protects the occupant from sun and 

 rain. Two wheels made from a plank are screwed at 

 one end, while handles are placed at the other. It can 

 be moved its length every clay. 



Many cheap shelters for hogs used in the Ohio 

 valley are made by piling the straw 

 from the stacker over and around a 

 simple frame-work. The illustration 

 shows a type of this cheap but effec- 

 tive shelter. It would be better with the sides boarded 

 up and straw piled all over it except the front. 



For a permanent hog pasture sow four quarts of 

 clover and two bushels of blue grass where this grass 

 does well. If not blue grass then orchard grass, the 

 same quantity. The clover will furnish feed for the 

 first season while the other grasses, which are slower 

 to start, are coming up. The clover will usually die 

 out the second year, but the blue grass or the orchard 

 grass will hold on for years if allowed to get a start 

 before winter sets in, so as to cover the crowns of the 

 plants. The quantity of seed named is where the 

 land is in excellent order, and if it is not, double the 

 amount should be used to insure a thick sward.
