USDA Farmers Bulletin No 566 describes a portable hog house built from 1 by 12 inch planks with battened seams and open front facing south.

Estimated material cost about five dollars, suitable for most South regions with mild winters and sun access. It includes steps for adding stability with guy wires, dirt mounds for access, and a summer shelter option using poles, planks, and straw. It also notes practical building variations using waste boards and emphasizes safety to prevent pig crushing.

Sediment Carried to Sea From Yangtze River Study
Prof Konrad Keilhack of the Berlin School of Mines reports estimates on Yangtze discharge and sediment load after a September 1913 river visit. Measurements at Wusung Nanking and Hankow yield a below Hankow discharge near 3.5 million cubic feet per second during high water with a 1.75 million cfs annual mean. Filtration near the mouth combined with discharge data suggests about 37,500 pounds of sediment per second moved seaward, totaling around 584 million tons yearly.
