Sous l>r«-d In November will farrow
»luring the month of March, which
gives the young pigs an early start, a
thing sought by all succMuiful swine
raisers. Rut whet) young pigs come
along In March, both they and their
mother» need a weather-tight, sunny
house, or not many of the youngsters
Wtll lie brought 1» maturity.
It Is this profitable metho»! of
breeding—thnt la, breeding for early
spring farrowinp—that has cause«!
farm huUilIng architects tn design
such hog houses as the one »hbwii
in the necoiapanj Ing Illustration.
Thl« building is of substantial frame
<*on»t ruction, set on a concrete foun­
dation. Its outslile walls are of
nmtihed siding, so that the wind and
cold cannot get in. At the same time
It 1« «o designed thnt a mpxlinum of
spring *un will be admitted to all
part« of the bouse, adding the sun's
bent to the heat thrown off by the
hots The windows also permit good
ventilation, which prevents the air
In the house from becoming moist
and "clammy."
The hog house shown In the IHns-
t ration Is 37 fee»t long and 24 feet
wide. This size will agconimodat«' 12
fn-na, each 1! feet wWe nml I* feet
long. A six-foot alley, or passageway,
extends through the center of the
building, foe the convenience of the
caretaker In feeding and removing
the Utter. Each pen has a feed
trough at the feeding alley. A part
of the j»en floor is coveretl with
plnnks. raise»I from the concrete so as
to jiermlt a circulation of air umler-
neath. This plank floor holds the
plentiful supply of bedding that little
pigs n««e»l and prevents the young­
ster« from coming In contact with the
cohl cement floor. Around the three
sides of the pen is a rail, rnise<1
slightly lYom the floor, tn give the
pigs a place where they will be safe
from being crushed by the mother.
The building sbmild be set on a site
«lightly higher than the ground
aronnd it, so ns tn provide good draln-
I
type. but «rill bouse the swine prof­
itably.
Farmers In the «•oru belL and In
every part st the conntry, are turning
more and more t« live-stock raising,
now that the prl.-ee of farm product«
are low. Fwdltig corn to hogs and
cattle, and thus marketing It "on the
hoof" brings a better price than
though the grain was sold in Its nat­
ural state. It la prawn by records
of price« that live stock have depreci­
ated la value far lean than grains.
However, there is not much profit
In hog raising unless a maximum num­
ber of the pigs farrowed are saved.
The first few weeks In a pig's life
are the most Important, for upon fhe
start the youngsters get depends the
speed with which they can be fitted
for market. Vnlesa they hate the
proper bousing, are protected from
cold, dampness and drafts the pigs
are apt to die, or their growth be re­
tarded.
Such a building as the one shewn
can be built In winter as well as sum­
mer. Tlie concrete for the founds "‘on
may be laid in a day, «bra the tem­
perature la above freocing, aud Hire
should be well protected from front
It requires at least three days for con­
crete to properly set In winter, when
the temperature !s at freezing or low-
er. But under no circumstance«
should wet courretv be allowed to
freer.c If it doe« It will «Tumble and
be of little value as a building foun­
dation.
After the foundation for the build­
ing Is set, the work of framing nnd
enclosing the building can go ahead
rvgardle«« of the weather. IFhen the
building 1« complete the concrete floor
can be laid, as the building can be
kept warm with a stove. By using
these methods the fanner may have a
good, warm house in which to place
his cows an»I when the pigs arrive
they will find n healthful place In
which to get a good Mart In Ilf« he
fore spring comes. Farrowed In
March the pigs wH! be weaned about
the time pasture 1« ready.
Mooring Mast fqr Airplan«.
A mooring mast for nonrigld dirigi­
ble«, ermstruetvd at the Vnlted States
naval air station at Pensacola. Fla.,
consists of a lattice-steel mast on a
CTtncrete base, supporting a semicircu­
lar Inverted arch, or crutch, of trussed-
steel construction. The mast rotates
»Uliln a collar guyed to concrete foot­
ing.«. A a frv rope extends front a
winch at the bane of the mast to a
pulley in the crutch and then to the
ground. The dirigible picks up the frek
«•nd of this rope by mean» of a line
dropped to the ground, and It 1« made
fnst to the ship. The ship is brought
down to the crutch by means cf the
winch.
Two

small
winches at the top of each crutch arm,

of the ship and It Is pulled firmly
ngalnst bearing pads by the winches.
