A  hoghouse  built  and  operated  according  to
the  above  plan  not  only  furnishes  the  condi-
tions that  are  used  as  arguments  in  favor  of
the  individual  house,  but  also  makes  possible
a  number  of  conditions  that  it  would  be  impos-
sible to  secure  to  so  perfect  a  degree  in  the
individual   house.    Among   these   are   better
sanitation,  greater  ease  in  handling  hogs,  thus
permitting  of  the  greatest  amount  of  work  with
the  smallest  amount  of  labor,  and  permitting  of
fewer  and  larger  pastures,  which  involves  less
expense  for  fences.    Besides  this,  the  pigs  can  be
marketed  at  seasons  of  the  year  that  are  out  of
the  ordinary.
