KEEP THE PIGS COMFORTABLE


And You'n Have Thrifty Stock at Light
Expense.
When the farmer starts out to pre-
pare narrowing nests he is too often
careless about having them comforta-
BILE. The roofing is not made perfect
against rain or snow, or may be the
sides of the structure are not wind
proof. These careless fellows do not
realize how short the skip is from in
different to perfect work. Nor does he
realize the difference between success
and failure with litter Of pigs. The
wind blowing through an opening In
the shed may work ruin to the pigs.
For narrowing, a comfortable shed or
house can be built for S.; one that
will do good service for number of
years with but little repair. Often q
litter of pigs is lost that is worth much
more than the cost of the house.
Sometimes when an effort is made at
providing shelter, there is extreme
thoughtlessness In its preparation, as
though wind or rain would not find an
opening in straw or a crack between
plank or rails. No more comfortable
shelter can be made than double
sided rail pen, the sides packed with
straw, and the whole covered with
straw to sufficient depth to prevent
leakage. Most farmers do not cover
such sheds perfectly; instead of making
them rain proof, they act as filters,
often dripping water on the pigs for
hours after the rain is over. 1t would
require but lite more work to perfect
such shed. Many farmers think
straw the meanest kind of bedding
and SO it is, If not properly used.
When it is used as it should be, there
is nothing better on most farms.
When used, it should not be allowed
to become wet, nor should it be used
SO long as to become fine as to form
dust When we use it and it gets
broken up so fine as to stick to the
bodies of the pigs when they come ont
of the nests, we think the time
has come for a change. Again,
there is something in keeping
pig comfortable by proper
feeding; pig should not be compelled
to take exercise on account of hunger
altogether, but rather on account of
his thrifty condition; comfort does not
lie entirely in the shelter given, nor
can best feeding take the place of
shelter and comfortable quarters But
certain amount of comfortable shell
ter is much cheaper than an endeavor
TO make the animal comfortable by
high feeding. Some farmers il treat
ment of their swine act as though they
believed comfort in the way of sheds
was actually unnecessary, that hog is
more healthy without shelter than
with it. Too little is thought OF
the deleterious effects of the nest that
al ways stands when the animal leaves
it. A farmer does not learn proper
care at once when he desires to get
away from old customs. II his pigs
cough, he inquiries of his neighbors
what will cure them-does not take a
thought as to the cause.
We used to have our pigs and stock
cough, but since we have learned how
to make them comfortable. we do not
think, of other remedies; in fact we
have no use for them.
A thoroughly comfortable pig is a
healthy one.--John NJ. Jamison, in
Swine Breeders Journal.

PLAIN SPOKEN.
Sculptor Who Charmed sIttcrs by His
Bluntness.

A Sculptor who Charmed sIttcrs by His
Bluntness.
1t is said that some OF the sitters to
Nollekens, the celebrated sculptor,
were charmed by the downright blunt
ness Of his compliments, which were
30 evidently free from all intentional
battery.
One day he was modelling the head
of a lady of rank, when she forgot her.
self, changed her position, and as
sumed look of great haughtiness,
which displeased the sculptor.
Don't look so scornful, madam" he
said. bluntly, you win spoil my bust
and you're very fine woman
think it will make one of my very
best"
At another time he said to sitter
who had cast in ono eye: ''Pray look
the other way, madam, that may get
rid of that shyness in your eye, which
though not disagreeable in life, is un-
usual in art"
At one time he had had for sitter .
woman of great beauty, but of ex-
tremely nervous and impatient temper
ament. During her sittings she con-
stantly changed her position, and with
each change OF position her expression
varied.
At last Nollekens' patience gave
way.
MADAM" he cried, unceremonious-
ly, ''what does it matter how hand
some you are, if you will not sit still
till have modelled you'll"
The sitter smiled with gratified van
ity, and much to the sculptor's amaze
ment was almost rs quiet as lay
figure during the remainder Of her
sittings. Youths Companion.
