THE PIGGERY.

for the breeding sow. The new-born pigs get tangled 

 in the straw when there is too much, and they get un- 

 der it and the sow lies on them. They should always 

 be in sight. 



Here is a design for a small, inexpensive house. 

 The plan shows the arrangement. It is twelve and 

 one-half by eight and one-half feet, 

 divided by the low partition P. 

 The doors are marked DD. The 

 one from the feeding room leads 

 out into the yard. The feed trough 

 is shown with the chute that 

 PLAN leads to it. The house is eight and 



one-half feet high in front and five feet in the rear. 

 The eaves should project 

 a foot or more. The par- 

 tition is five feet high at 

 the highest part, sloping 

 down to six inches. WW ' . 

 are the windows, one and SECTION 



one-half by two feet. The door leading into the yard 

 should be two and one-half feet high and two feet 

 wide. 



An Ohio man sends me his plan for a combined 

 hog house and corn crib shown herewith. Fig. i 

 is the floor plan. It is forty feet long and thirty feet 

 wide, exclusive of the runways marked FFF in the 

 plan. The pens are eight by ten and the entry is ten 

 feet wide. The outside runs are as long as you care 

 to make them. This house can be lengthened or 

 shortened to suit the requirements of the builder 

 by leaving off or adding pens to the plan as here
