TO BUILD MODEL
HOG HOUSE HERE
NEXT WEDNESDAY.
J. H. McLeod, director of the live
stock extension division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, and H. B. Joy,
of the same department, both of whom
live at Little Rock, arrived in New
port this morning and completed ar
rangements for the construction of a
model hog house, which will be locat
ed near the Missouri Pacific park on
front street
The house will be built next Wed
nesday at a cost of $19.80, which was
donated by the three banks of the
city. Agent G. P. Coffin of the Miss
ouri Pacific readily agreed to furnish
space for the house on railroad prop
erty, and T. W. Johnson, manager of
Johnson Cloyes Hardware Co., will
furnish tools for construction work.
The construction of this demon
stration hog house in Newport will
be a great thing for Jackson county
farmers who will build similar
houses on their farms. Mr. Whittaker,
the county farm agent, says 60 per
cent of the hogs of tne country are
lost before weaning, this high death
rate being caused by lack of proper
housing. He will be glad to demon
strate the advantages of the house to
the farmers when it is built and giv^
other information as to means of con
struction.
