The James Sanitary Hog Pen HE early hog is, of course, the profitable hog. If it is pos- sible to send a bunch of pigs to the market a month earlier than you would ordinarily send them, that bunch of pigs is provmg a big money maker; but the early pig is not saved without warm, dry and sanitary quarters. It is necessary to properly house pigs for winter farrowing if you expect to prepare them for early pasturage and early market. To provide such quarters, the James Manufacturing Co. presents a new type of hog barn construction. The new construction has met with the approval of every hog raiser who has inspected it. This new James Gambrel roof barn is superior to any other type of hog barn construction, in that it permits a greater amount of sunlight. By facing the barn Northwest and Southeast, it is possible to have sunlight on the floor throughout the day. The saw-tooth hog barn which has been advocated in the past, and with which you are familiar, will admit the sun only five or six hours of the day. Hog men who have used the saw-tooth barn, in a good many cases condemn it because it is too cold, owing to the great height between the floor and the apex. This height, if the saw-tooth barn is properly proportioned, is 14 ft.; the greatest height between the ceiling and floor in our new barn is 10 ft.; thus the barn is warm and comfortable, which is even more important than sunlight in a farrowing building. The two windows in the first pitch can be tilted, if desired, allowing a flow of air to pass through the building. The windows are high enough so the draft will be above, and not directly onto the animals. The two upper sash should be stationary as it would be unnecessary to open them at any time. We furnish detailed drawings showing how the sash should be built. The cheapest and best material to use for the walls is hollow t
