THE pos QUARTERS.

No matter whether many or few
pigs are kept through the winter. if
they are kept in the best condition at
the lowest cost it is quite an item to
provide them with comfortable shell
ter. There is no necessity Of going to
any considerable expense. What is
desired is cleanliness, warmth and
dryness. As hogs sleep close together
in beds there is no necessity for max.
ing the house quite as snug and tight
as for other classes of stock. One es-
sential item is to have it dry, both
where they eat and where they sleep.
Another item is to have the feeding
tloor arranged 80 that in coming out
of the sleeping place they will not
have to stand exposed to cold wind
while eating. 1t is also an item to
have arranged SO that the sun can
shine in at least part of the time dur.
ing the day.
In making tho floor it should be
slanted little so that any water will
run off readily. 1t will help consid-
erably about cleaning. The floor
should always be made tight IN oIVer
to avoid waste in feeding grain, and
then care should be taken to keep it
clean.
Dry earth makes the best sleeping
aoor, and in order to insure its being
dry it will pay to fill in with dry dirt
until it is five or six inches higher on
the inside than the outside. Then,
with tight roof, it can be kept dry.
A little straw on this makes good
bed. The straw can be changed every
ten days in order to prevent its be-
coming too foul. There should be a
tight trough for feeding slops. The
door should be sufficiently large to
permit ten or more hogs running in
ut once and thus prevent crowding.
The house should be large enough for
the number of hogs wintered to eat
and sleep without overcrowding. The
idea is to have comfortable and yet
not too expensive quarters. Such a
hog house will prove profitable in
vestment. The Silver Knight

Culture OF the Sunflower.

The sunfower is mostly grown as n
crop in Russia, where the seeds are
pressed for the oil they contain, and
the residue is fed to cattle, the stalks
being used for fuel. In this country
the plant is grown at times as cattle
food; the leaves, stripped from the
stalks, make good fodder when dried,
aud the seed heads are dried and fed
to pigs or poultry, which fatten well
on them. the seeds having thirty to
forty per cent. of fine oil in them.
The stalks are kept for burning in
stoves. These uses make it valuable
plant for culture on the plains, where
fuel is scarce and dear. Recently the
heads and leaves have been mixed
with corn fodder in the silos, and they
add very much to the value of the
food. New York Times.

BARNYARD MANURE.
ton.

The ideal way OF storing manure
temporarily till time and opportunity
are secured for applying it to the
fields is to put it under cover. Un-
mixed horse manure tends to heat
quickly and violently. II spread out
evenly, ,sprinkled with some dry earth,
or, better, gypsum, and wet and mod
erately solidified, it will be in an ideal
condition.
Natures method "a to spread the
refuse material thinly on the surface
in the late fall and early winter
where plants are growing. During
the winter and early spring large
percentage of the available plant food
in manures is washed into the soil.
Some farmers, knowing this, have
adopted the practice of spreading
their strawy ma nures on the meadows
in the fall and enrly winter. In April,
during dry time, the coarse parts of
them are raked together, carted to the
barns, and used second time for bed
ding. When manures are spread in
the winter or early fall they may be
plowed under in the spring with a
shallow furrow. American Farmer.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
WASTE OF CORN STALKS.

While IL is not true that corn stalks
exposed to rains will decay like clover
hay, there is altogether too much loss
in il, il not secured in time, for any
farmer to afford. Green stalks dried
without rainfall retain their fresh
color inside where not expo sod to the
sun. But the fading of the outside
Of the stock does not affect its nutri-
tive value or it's palatabeness. We
have many times fed cows and watched
them while they we're eating. While
they would select the stalks that had
been slightly softened by heating, there
was no apparent preference for those
that had retained their green color
over those that sunlight had blenched.
But where the rain had washed the
outside Of the stock. and had not
reached the inside, the cnse is doubt
less very different. Rain cannot fall
on any partly dried vegetable matter
without carrying off some of its nutri-
ton.

CULTURE OF cow-pEAs.

The bunch varieties are the ones
which are best adapted to growing for
hay or ensilage, while the runners and
trailers are valuable for soiling pur-
poses or for turning under as green
manure. The length of season re-
quired for maturity also varies greatly,
the bunch varieties, as rule, requir-
ing only very short season. The
feeding value of COW peas, either
green, fed as hay, or preserved as en-
silage, is very high, being considerably
above that of red clover. Cow-p
require deep, rich, sandy loan, al
though, because of their strong root
system, they are adapted to grow upon
almost any soil which is not too wet.
The ground should be we'll prepared,
and the seed should not be
sown until the soil is thoroughly
warmed. Cow-peas, by the means
Of the tubercles on the roots,
gather large amounts of nitrogen from
the air, and also pump up large
amounts Of valuable mineral fertilizers
from the subsoil. When the stubble
is plowed under after tho crop has
been removed these valuable fertiliz.
ing elements potash, nitrogen, and
phosphoric acid--are left in the sur
face soil for the use of succeeding
crops. At the Rhode Island Expert
ment Station the total crop of feen
vines per acre was 35, 900 pounds, con-
tanning 157 pounds of nitrogen, 100 1-2
pounds of potash, and 31.2 pounds OF
phosphoric acid, and the additional
quantity estimated to be contained in
the roots was II "a pounds of nitrogen,
ten pounds of potash, and 8. 10 pounds
of phosphoric acid. Jared G.. Smith,

The Pueblo Women.

"The Pueblo-lndInn women are
often very pretty as girls and some Of
them make stately young mothers"
writes Hamlln Garland In the Ladies'
Home journal. "They work generally
in groups of three or four cooking,
whitewashing. weaving, or painting
pottery. They seem to have a good
deal to chatter about, and their smiling
faces are very agreeable. They have
most excellent white teeth. Their
ceremonial dress is very picturesque,
especially the costume of the Acoma
and Isleta girls. All burdens are car
ried by the women of Acoma, Isleta
and Laguna upon the head, and they
have, in consequence, magnificent

women of Walpi. on the contrary, are
bent and down-looklng. They carry
their burdens on their backs slung in
a blanket. The girls of Isleta wear
light cloth over their heads Spanish
fashion, and manage 1t with fine grace
and coquetry. The everyday dress of
the Hopi women consists OF n sort of
kilt, which is wrapped around the hips
and fastened with belt "a modification

THE PACKING OF APPLES.

The worst trouble with packing
apples in warm weather is that they
undergo what is improperly called the
sweating" process in the barrel. As
n matter of course the apple enc used
in moisture full Of germs will speedy
decay. Instead Of being mistake to
pile the apples on tho ground in the
shade, it is not at all injurious to
leave the packing in barrels 50 long MS
possible. and have the apples cool
when placed in the barrel or nearly
so us they will be during the winter.
Then no "sweating" will occur. II
there is grass under the trees the
apples may be laid on that. If the
ground is bare, straw or an old cloth to
protect them from contact with the soil
should be spread where they are to lie.
Apples buried underground acquire
an earthly flavor; but merely leaving
them on the surface under proper con-
ditions inflicts no injury upon them.
But it is important that the apples be
kept ut MS even temperature as possible.
If exposed to sunshine by day and
left uncovered by night the apples will
he in fair way to rot before the time
comes when they may be safely bar
relied. 1t is the protection that the
barrel gives them from sudden
changes of temperature that makes
immediate barreling as soon as picked
popular with farmers. But il these
changes can be prevented by other
means, and the apples be barreled
later, they will be all the better for it.
When putting the apples into the
barrel the fruit should be an inch or
more above the chime Of the barrel,
and be gently pressed down until the
head is fitted in. A screw press is
best. Apples so pressed down will not
be bruised. If not pressed down the
fruit will shrink aud rattle in the bar
rel whenever moved. d.-American Gull

A DEADLY CALLING.
Bringing Out Borax From the
Riffs in Death Valley.
Sixty-Horse Teams Subjected to
a Killing Ordeal.

The deadliest occupation for meu or
horses II teaming in the borax fields
of Death Valley of the great Ameri-
can desert, writes correspondent
from California. There the longest
teams in the world are employed.
Scientists declare that the fierce heat
in this narrow rent in the cracked
surface of the earth is not equaled
elsewhere in the world. Where the
thermometer often registers 140 de.
grees of heat, unrelieved by even a
breath OF nir, where men sleep at night
in hollow bitches filed with water in
order to avoid dying from collapse,
the necessity for the longest teams OF
mules and horses ever barnessed to
draw the borax laden wagons is APP
parent.
The desert team is the longest in
the world, and the percentage of
deaths of the horses is greater than
that of domestic animals used in any
other calling. Forty to sixty horses
are often hi,ched to one of the lum-
bering vehicles in which the bornx is
slowly dragged across the sun-baked
alkali plains. The average life of
even the sturdiest horses used in this
work is six months, for in this length
of time they either become broken
winded, consumptive from inhaling
the deadly dust of the desert or are
driven crazy by the frightful heat.
A man there, though protected by
the wagon awning from the suns rays,
can not go an hour without water
without danger of death. When a
tenn breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted, the men ride
on ut top speed for the nearest source
of supply, aud often when they return
they find that the remaining horses.
made mad by thirst, have broken
from the harness and dashed on, only
to find death in the desert.
The borax wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 10000 at load.
Behind each wagon is a tank contain
ing hundreds OF gallons of water. The
horses are harnessed in pairs, the
trained ones in the lead, and the next
in intelligence just ahead of the
tongue, while the unruly and the
youngsters are hitched between. The
nigh leader has bride with the
strap from the left jaw shorter than
the other, and from the bride runs a
braided rope which the driver, perched
on the wagon seat, holds in his right
hand.
The rope is called the "ierk-line,"
aud is little longer than the team,
which stretches out several hundred
feet in front of tho wagon. During
the busy season the borax wagons
make an almost continuous train, and
the horses alone, If placed in single
fle, would make team more than one
hundred miles long.
Besides little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After few mouths of the kill
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service. A kindly rifle ball
then ends their agony, and their
emaciated carcasses are left alongside
the trail to furnish scant picking for
the lowering vulture.
