Are Your Hoga Comfortable? The chief end of the hog is the pork barrel. If he is to be profitable, he must be comfortable—comfortable_in summer, comfortable in winter. The uncomfortable hog does not turn corn and grass into pork ut a profit. His life must be one of ease and even of luxury, if it is to be profitable. He must be kept warm, comfortably warm, for his work is interfered with if he has to burn up fat (ten pounds per bushel of corn) in order to be com- fortable, In the summer time, his com- fort is easily looked after. But in the winter, when-snows and could rains fall, and when icy blasts come sweeping down from the neigh- borhood: of Medicine Hat, his comfort needs luoking after, and not merely as @ matter of comfort, but of health. A leaky roof or a muddy floor does not romote his comfort at that season of or thirty hogs squealing and fighting to get near each other, to get ‘mth, cold night, those hogs are not comfortable, and are not making you any profit.
