A cement bathtub in- stalled in the hog lot is an efficienti means to this end. Snell a wallow is easily 'built at small cost. A dozen, sacks of cement mixed with coarse sand and gravel in the proportion of one to four will construct a peal at least 6x12 feet in dimensions. The walls should project somewhat above the ground in order to keep foreign substances from finding their way into the wallow. Shallowness of the basin es to be aimed at, rather than depth. Three or four inches of water in the. pool is suifieient. An outlet into an underground tile should be provided,' and water shouId be piped from some near -by source. The concrete hog bath indulges the animal's natural desire to wallow, and promote$ a. cense of creature comfort and contentment which makes for thriftier animals. By replenishing the water with reasonable frequeneye. greater cleanliness of the hogs is maintained, and there is less liability of disease, If a dip or some farm of disinfectant: is placed in the water once a week the hags will keep them- selves free from vermin. It is the experience of men who have installed the concrete wallow in their hog lots that it is to be counted as ''ane of the things whirls go far toward successful hog raising.
