CONVENIENT PIG HOUSE.
The plan Here illustrated Can lie
Adapted to Suit the Size ana
Condition of Any Herd.

Concerning a 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
lie explanati<p, rs il can he construct
ed according to the means at the build
er's command and IL can be made TO
suit the size of ones herd. You could
easily construct fourroom feeding
house on this plan out OF good dressed
lumber for less than 5000, especially
II YOU are able to do your own car
penter work. When as many as 40 or
80 hogs are to be kept they always do
better if kept in different pens accord
ing to size and age. 1t is also neccs-
sary that different aged animals be
fed a different ration for best and most
satisfactory results, and this can only
he done when we have our hogs prop
erly graded and separated. One thing
we would have in making a hog house
and that is a 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 un-
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 a 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
lean-to, roof sloping just one way
and facing the south if possible. In
these we would have no floor. They

In my experience. the best way to
grow calves when you want them TO do
their own milking is to not let them
run with the COW. but let them take the
milk night and morning, having good
pasture for them near the barn or shed,
where they can come into the barn dur
ing the hex of the day. Have a trough
there and put in n fair ration OF ground
oats and corn and il will not be- many
days until they will have the trough
licked out nice and clean for you every
morning. Then keep right on with yoar
feed and YOU will not have TO wean your
calves, but will have TO wean your
cows, and by the time your calves are 10
10 20 months old they will weigh from
ten to twelve hundred pounds and viii
bring you the top Of the market. Short
horns are what | am talking about.
Your cows will be in much better condi-
tion in the fall and will be more apt TO
bring another calf next spring. Wal

The mare with foal should have

not be the kind that promotes the ac-

for that development is needed the class
of feeding stuff that builds up its

for the foal for the mare To have much

from receiving healthy support. Let

Cuitivnting sugar ncets.

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 a cultivator with numerous long.
hooked teeth, not more than an inch
wide, one of which might be called a
cross between n harrow and cult
,ator. Such culticators are now on the
market. After the beets have become
larger a cultivator with broader SHOW
els may be used in order to cut the
weeds more efrectually. but deep work
ing of the soil should be carefully avoid
ed, after il has become filled with the
feeding roots o. 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
moisture.-Farmcrs Review.
