Great Impoktance of Good Pastoke. 25 



Where many hogs are pastured in a large lot of several 

 acres or more, and there is no natural shade, a long shed 

 can be built witb the sides left open for about two feet 

 above the ground. This should also be kept free from dust 

 in the above manner and well ventilated, and as dark as pos- 

 sible during the hot dry weather when flies are trouble- 

 some. But no shade equals that of a good tree with spread- 

 ing branches in a woods pasture well set in white clover 

 and blue grass. However, I do not recommend the use of 

 a thickly set under brush or where the trees are so close 

 together that the sun cannot penetrate to all parts some 

 time during the day. Avoid such a place, as the direct rays 

 of the sun are necessary for complete sanitation.
