An excellent plan for a hog house Is given by William Critchell In the Alissourl Valley Farmer as follows: Illustration No. 1 shows the floor plan of my hog house, 24 by 60 feet. In this house there are 16 stalls, 6 by 8 feet divided Into a sleeping place 8 by 6 feet and a feeding place 6 by 6 feet one cooker room 8 by 12 feet one feed bin 8 by 12 feet, and a driveway drive-way 8 feet wide with sliding roller floors. No. 2 gives an Idea of the concrete floor, 24 feet wide. A Is the sleep'lng place, B the feeding floor with a 2-inch rise next to bedding to keep out litter, C the driveway 8 feet wide. A, C and A ire all on the same level. The feeding floors (BB) are 6 inches higher than AA, sloping to 4 Inches higher than C. All litter drops Into the driveway, where It can be taken up and hauled out as fertilizer. No. 3 shows the house plan, with lighting space at top nd small swinging doors at bottom. These doors are hinged at . the top o as to swing both In and out.

Placing a post at each corner cor-ner of every stall gives plenty of rtrength; then by putting in a few rlrts, siding up with No. 1 stock boards nailed on up and down and stripping the cracks, you have a good building. The roof should have half pitch. Pieces of 2 by 4, 10 feet long, make the lower rafter and these cut in the middle make the upper rafter. |
