CONVENIENT PIG HOUSE.
The Plan Here illustrated Can BE
Adapted to Suit the Size and
Condition of Any Herd.

Concerning modern up-to-date hog
house costing 5000 or more, large
enough to accommodate 40 or so, would
say that in building pigpens, like every
thing else, the best is always cheapest.
The plan shown herewith needs but lit
tie explanation, as it can be construct
ed according to the means at the build
er's command and it can be made to
suit the size of ones herd. You could
house on this plan out of good dressed
lumber for less than 5000, especially
if you are able to do your own car
penter work. When as many as 40 or
so hogs are to be kept they always do
better if kept in different pens accord
ing to size and age. 1t is also neces-
sary that different aged animals be
fed different ration for best and most
satisfactory results, and this can only
be done when we have our hogs prop
erly graded and separated. One thing
we would have in making hog house
and that is concrete floor. Any other
floor is Objectionable in some way. All
kinds of wooden floors make bad rat
harbors unless they are built up high
off the ground, and in most cases they
soon begin to decay and make pens I'M
healthy. By letting the concrete extend
out to the walls all round no rats can do
any damage and you can scrape or
wash out your house as clean as jug
at any time. The cost of a concrete
floor may be little more than wood
to start with, but it is cheapest in the
end.
Let the sleeping rooms be made like
a lean-to, roof sloping just one way
and facing the south if possible. In
these we would have no floor. They

Test of Good Farming.

81 believe that no man can claim to be
a good farmer who does not maintain
the fertility of the soil,' says Waldo F.
Brown, land that to do this the best
way is to keep as much stock as will
consume most of the grain and rough
food produced on the farm. To get the
best rxuits in winter feeding, some sue
culent bulky food is needed, and so
silos have multiplied. But the small
farmer often thinks he cannot afford to
build one, and have found that by the
use of beets and sorghum the silo is not
necessary. To get the most fertility
from our stock, we must save all the
liquid manure, and SO l have adopted
cement floors in all Of my stables and
have found them very satisfactory"

can be moved about the yard from time
to time and thus keep a nice pure
place for pigs to sleep, every time it
is moved using clean bedding, or rather
moving every time clean bedding is
used. Water is best supplied out in
the lots instead of in the feed room,
as hogs will keep the feed room more
or less filthy if water is supplied there,
especially if they can get to it to wal
low A small cistern or well is located
in storage room from which under
ground pipes may extend to the sew
eral lots. In making fences between
lots do not make them more than three
or four boards high, just so man can
straddle over them comfortably. This
you will find very convenient in look
ing after your hogs. The outside fence
may be higher if other stock have ac-
cess to pens and are likely to jump.
Two and half feet is high enough for
all inside fences. = Orange Judd

CuItiyating Sugar Beets.

In the early cultivation the ground
should be stirred as deeply as possible.
To accomplish this without covering
the plants the ideal implement would
be cultivator with numerous long,
hooked teeth, not more than an inch
wide, one of which might be called a
cross between a harrow and cult
vator. Such culticators are now on the
macket. After the beets have become
larger a cultivator with broader SHOW
els may be used in order to cut the
weeds more effectually, but deep work
ing of the soil should be carefully avoid
ed, after it has become filled with the
feeding roots of the crop. The after
cultivation should consist in keeping
the ground free of weeds and keeping
the surface loose, both points being
necessary to the preservation of the soil

PACKING-BOX COOPS.
They Are Strong and II Properly
Built Are Sure to Last for Many
Years to Come.

Tip large packing box on one side,
making the open space or original top
the front. Nail boards, a, across this
space half way down, letting the top
one, b, extend nearly its width above
the top edge of the box, and several
inches beyond the ends. Nail similar
one, C, on the back, leaving this couple
of inches above the top. Two side
boards, d, are now added, sawed slant
ing to make smooth slope between the
front and back for the roof. AS they
are six inches beyond the ends OF. the
box, it makes a protection from the
weather, besides leaving space for cir
culation, while to make this of value to
the interior a square must be sawed
from the top of the box before the roof
is put on, as this top floor has been left
whole. This makes the ventilation
good without danger of leaks, and the
roof is now added.

down the center and tack fine wire net
ting, f, over one side. A second strip
is put over the first to cover the edge
of the netting, and to leave room for
groove for the sliding door, G, on the
other side. This may be either of wood
or a skeleton frame made and covered
with netting. a groove must be made
in the box for the other side of the
slide. Nearly all the boxes come with
well-stayed corners, so this is not diff
ficult.

prevent the cracks from spreading. Or
the roof may be covered with roofing

and as they are strong and well built
they will last many years. - Orange

STANDARD VARIETIES.
Why Farmers Should Select Their
Poultry from Breeds Known
to Be Satisfactory.

T. f. McGraw, in the Reliable Poultry
Journal, sounds the note of alarm by
asking this pertinent question: "Wlll
we ever perfect few good varieties, or
will we continue to drift into new"'
This is, indeed, serious question and
one of vital importance to practical
poultry breeders everywhere, COM
ments the Southwestern Farmer. The
question plainly stated is, will we re-
tain the practical features of poultry
culture or drift into exclusive fancy?
In the past decade there have been
many new varieties introduced, and
among them all there are none with
more good qualities, or that have
proven more profitable to the practical
breeders than those we had before. If
all the effort and money spent booming
new breeds had been directed toward
the improvement of the old varieties it
might not be necessary now for breed
ers to want to remove color and other
disoualifications from the standard.
They practically admit they cannot
breed them true and want authority to
conform the standard to their flock.
1t is true that many who are merely
''fanciers" have made money from new
varieties, but there are none who have
succeeded in bringing more desirable
points than existed in the old breeds.
Brown Leghorns are superior in every
way to the buff, but there has been
thousands invested in this variety, and
[ NAV add, there are hundreds of disap-
pointed breeders, also. The same may
be said of nearly any of the new ones.
Farmers, especially, will find 1t to
their interest to make their selection of
breeds from the old standard varieties
and thus avoid the trouble that will
surely follow in attempting to breed
any of the new additions to anywhere
near the standard requirements.
Let us perfect a few varieties first,
increase their laying qualities and
size, and greater profits will be realized
than from any other course.
We are now neglecting breeds which
have merit and looking for something
new and of uncertain value, from q
practical standpoint.

Raising Quail on Farms.

A Missouri young man, G. Gross, of
Morgan county, says an exchange, has
built up large business in tame quail.
which he claims are more easily raised
than chickens and far more profitable,
selling alive at four dollars per dozen
for meat, or when tame at five dollars
per pair as pets. The eggs hatch well,
either under quail or common hens.
The care and food are much like that
for chickens and the birds prove very
hardy and free from disease. The
coops are only foot high, covered over
the top and are movable.

HIS BATH NOT A SUCCESS.
Being in q Hurry He Forgot to
Take Of His Under
clothes.

1t seems her husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home in the
rose flush of the morning he thought it
would be capital idea to take bath be-
re getting into bed First of all and most
important it would contradict any wrong
impression as to his condition, as his wife
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are so
suspicious
So he went boldly to the bathroom and
was soon splashing around as gayly as
canary. In fact, he created such an un-
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with look so cold and contempt
uous that it struck chill to his very
heart. But he made dive for the soap
and went on industriously with his abIu-
tions.
What are you doing there, Peter?" she
asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.
Cant you see what / am doing, my dear?'
Unanswered, with another prodigious splash
''Im taking BATH"
Don't you think it would be good idea
for you to take off your underclothes she
asked him, with a frozen reflection, as she
passed out of sight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

An outing Hint from Outing.
Fast, safe, superbly equipped and most
carefully governed, one need not wonder
at the great popularity of the New York
Central. No other line affords such facili-
ties for through travel between the East and
the West as this wonderful four track sys-
tenn. In the possession of the Grand Central
Station, located in the heart of New York
City, and within trihing distances of all
frst-class hotels, this railway offers greater
advantages than competing lines. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter, it has attrac-
lions irresistible. The great Northern Will
derness, the playground of the State, now
beckons its thousands. As autumn falls,
Americas scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim its annual host of pill
grims with its majestic power the fierce
turmoil of the Whirlpool and all the pic
turesque surroundings, the awesome Cave of
the Winds and several other minor attrac-
tions of the vicinity. And when winter
comes, then the entire scene transformed to
what seems fairyand of marvellous frost
dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces;
of cleaning crystal prison barriers vainly
striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge
of water-will present spectacle of weird,
mysterious beauty which is not duplicated
in the world.-Outing.
