The simpler the hog pen the better.
The shed which shelters from rain and
wind, gathers the warm sunshine and
gives pure air, is all that is demanded.
Such pen is more easily kept clean.
Large, dark houses, with windows here
and there, are nuisance, and they are
especially unsuitable for some reasons
of the year. There is hardly anything
to recommend the building of an extern
sive and expensive house. The thing
at which to aim is the comfort of the
hogs, and in their comfort lies the
secret of profit. If made high, there is
no better floor than one of earth. Keep
them dry, with a frequently changed
bed, and they will be happy and dc
their best for you.

An Irishman was hauling water in
barrels from small river to supply
the inhabitants of the village, which
was not provided with waterworks.
AS he halted at the top of a bank to
give "blow" before proceeding to
peddle the water, gentleman rode up,
and after passing the time of day,
asked:
"How long have you been hauling
water for the village, my good MANI"
'Tin years or more, sor," was the re-
ply.
"Ah! and how many loads do you
make day?"
"From tin to fifteen, accordin' to the
weather, sor.''
eyes. Now I have one for you,
Pat" said the gentleman, laughing.
"How much water have you hauled al
together?"
The Irishman jerked his thumb in
the direction of the river, at the same
time giving his team hint to start,
and replied:
"All the water that yez don't see
there now, sor."

On the small farm it is better to raise
sheep than other stock. The money in
them can be turned over quickly. A
flock of well bred ewes, bred to Shrop-
shire ram, will produce lambs which
may be sold for enough to more than
pay for the cost of the ewes, if the lambs
are well cared for, and the feeces of the
ewes will pay for the cost of all the
food they have consumed. The flock
may be improved and increased if the
best of the ewes are saved for breeding
Things can be so managed that there
will be little cash return at all sea-
sons.

''Now, Mr.. Beefy," coldly said the

1t costs too much to try to lay on fat

ed from the pen, attend to it this month.
