Show MISSOURI SWINE HOUSE PLAN Building With Concrete Floor Is Shown In Illustration Hogs Manipulate Ma-nipulate Swinging Doors. An excellent plan for a hog house Is given by William Critchnll In the Missouri Valley Farmer as follows: Illustration N'o. 1 shows the floor plan of my hog house, 24 by 60 feet. In thla 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 doors. t. No. 2 gives on idea of the concrete floor, 21 feet wide. A Is the sleeping plat e. II the feeding floor with a 2 lucb fix'e text to bedding to keep out litter, C tho driveway 8 feet wide. A, C and A - are all on the same level. The feeding floors ( DIl) are 6 Inches higher than AA, sloping to 4 Inches higher than C. AH litter drops Into the driveway, where It ran be taken up and hauled out us fertilizer. No. 3 shows the huuse plan, with lighting space at top and small swinging doors at bottom. These doors are hinged at the top so as to swing both In and out. The bogs soon learn to open them, and they always stay shut. I would use 4 by 4 dimension lumber and make building 6 f el,6 -.first caves and 14 feet to the ij iehr fear IMv I I I I I I I J f fl B3 m m m m tii m I W I I ' it No. 1, Floor Plan; No. 2, Cross Section .f Feeding Floor; No. 3, Form of K2!i'Si second, giving a window space at top of 4 feet. Placing a post at each corner cor-ner of every stall gives plenty of strength; then by putting in a few girts, siding up w ith 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 tho upper rafter. |
