A Convenient Pig Sty.
Wb here illustrate a handy method of constructing a pig sty for convenience of feeding. The cut represents one end and side of the sty, and any farmer can easily build It who has any notion of using carpenters' tools. It may be made either of rough timber or planed boardsand painted. The end
of the trough and its place in the pen aie indicated by the dotted triangle D. The swinging door, abed, is made by nailing inch plank to the scantling A B, which ib let into the corner-posts of the pen at A and B, so as to make an axis upon which the door swings. The deor is fastened shut by the bolt C, made of three-quarter-inch rolled iron. "When the pigs are to be fed, draw up the bdlt, push back the daor, and let the bolt fall in front of the trough. Then the trough can be filled while the pigs are kept out of the way. Raise the bolt, let the door fall back into its place and bolt it, and the pigs have undisturbed access to their food.
