Floor. Concrete makes the best and most durable floor, both for inside and 

 outside pens. If the floor of the house is of wood, it should be raised a couple of 

 feet off the ground on- posts for the sake of ventilation and to avoid creating a 

 harbourage for rats, which are always troublesome about a pig-pen. Concrete is 

 more sanitary than any other material, but is cold for pigs to sleep on. For
