The arguments in favor of this type of houses for swine are that each sow at farrowing time may be kept alone and away from all disturbance ; that each litter of pigs may be kept and fed by itself, consequently there will not be too large a number of pigs in a com- mon lot ; that these houses may be placed at the farther end of the feed lot, thus compelling the sow and pigs to take exercise, especially in winter, when they come to the feed trough at the front end of the lot; that the danger of ...spreading disease among the herd is at a minimum ; and in case the place occupied by the cot becomes unsan- itary, it may be moved to a clean location. HOG HOUSES. 291 LARGE HOUSES Although individual houses have certain characteristics or ad- vantages in their favor, large houses, if properly built, also have some points of advantage and these are good sanitation, service- ability, safety in farrowing, ease in handling hogs, and large pas- tures, involving little expense for fences. Sanitation : In order to be sanitary a hog house should admit the direct rays of the sun to the floor of all the pens and exclude cold drafts in winter, be dry, free from dust, well ventilated and exclude the hot sun during the summer.
