The accompanying drawing is almost self-explanatory. The size of the crate would depend upon the size of the pig, but about 4ft. 6in. long by 2ft. 6 in. wide and 2ft. 6in. high will be large enough for any ordinary animal. The framing should be of good yellow deal 3in. square, and the laths 2 1/2 in. by l 1/4 in. The latter can be either mortised into the framing as shown, or the rails can be kept back from the face and the laths nailed on. The roof should be of 1-in. tongued and grooved boarding, and the floor should be formed of 1/4-in. boards laid with spaces of about lin. between them. One end of the crate should be made to open to form a door for the entrance and egress of the pig. Two small iron wheels, say about 8 in. diameter, can be fixed, one at each side of the crate; a 1-in. wheel should also be mounted in the middle of each end. The crate would thus have four wheels, but would run on the two side ones only; the other wheels would prevent the crate from ploughing into the earth when the pig shifted its posit ion.
