The method of ventilation depends on the climate. If the climate is severe, greater precaution will be neces- sary in admitting fresh air and permitting the exit of the stale air, while if the temperature is habitually higher, very little system is necessary in securing good ventilation. A hollow shaft leading from the floor through the roof will permit the exit of stale air from the bottom; and an intake under the eaves with a shaft opening just under the comb will admit fresh air from the top, which will minimize the draft on the pigs. Light may be secured by open space or by glass, depending on the climate. Since glass is expensive, it should be on the south side of the building, so that morning, noon, and afternoon rays all reach some part of the pig house where sunshine is needed. Any equip- ment used constantly is less expensive from the standpoint of results obtained than the same equipment used only a part of the time, and therefore greater expense is justified in case the glass is in the south where it is used constantly. A plan with this end in view has been worked out by.
