MOVABLE PIG PEN.

other swine and still give them the ad-
vantage of green feed. This pen is
cheap and easily constructed and light
enough to be easily moved by two men,
or even one, and it need be moved but
few feet to make a change to new
ground.
The pen is eight by sixteen feet, made
of two-by-fours and fencing boards,
three or four feet high, according to the
size of the pigs it is to contain. Three
pairs of two-by-four posts, each about
six feet long, are used to spike the
boards to. The lower board should be
nailed on four inches from the bottom,
as when the pen is lifted in moving the
pigs could escape if the boards are
higher. Nail brace at the top of each
pair of posts. If the pen is to contain
pigs large enough to lift or move it in
roofing beneath it can very easily be
staked down. Bore inch holes in each
of the corner posts and put wire
through it, making loop foot and a
half in length. Make stake of some
hard wood with notch near the upper
end to catch this loop. With one of these
at each corner you can fasten the pen Sc
curely.-J. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.

ship and habit of growth, really beans,
and not peas, as the name indicates.
They are ANIMALS and are closely re-
lated to the lablab, lima and haricot
beans of our gardens.
Varieties-Cowpeas occur in every
graduation of habit, from a compact,
stocky, upright bush having stems a
foot high with very short lateral
branches to those with trailing run
ners growing as fiat upon the ground
as sweet potato or melon vines, the
PROSTATE stems Is to 20 feet in length.
The pods vary from four to six inches in
length, and the peas are of every i'm
aginable shade of white, yellow, green,
pink, gray, brown, red, purple and
black, of solid colors or variously mot
tied and speckled, and of varying sizes
and forms, from large kidney-shaped to
little round ones smaller than the gar
den pea. There is like variation in
the length of time the different forms
require to ripen seed, some requiring
eight or nine months, few ripening in
60 days from the time of planting.

OZARK AGRICULTURE.
How Farmers Practice Rotation OF
Crops In That Prolific
Region.

Ozark humor appreciates the story that
a scientist was quite amazed the other day
at observing a farmer, after killing nest
of snakes turned up by the pillow, arrange the
dead snakes in the furrow before he went
back to the pillow. 49,,
"Why do you do that, my good MANI" the
scientist asked.
The farmer looked curiously at the sci
enlist, and, seeing that he was really IN
search of information, replied:
81 do that so the pillow will cover the
snakes on the next round"
Seeing that the scientist was still mysti-
fed, the farmer continued:
81 cover the snakes so that they will de.
compose. That is what you call it, ism it ~

of the pug. Another, referring to a
companions criticism of the butter, re-
marked that ''some men would kick at
anything" and the man shuddered.
That night the man slept little. He
was wondering how the pug felt, and
wrestling with his conscience. When
from sheer WEAKNESS his eyes closed in
slumber he was disturbed with visions
of savage dogs which chased him. He
rose heavy-lidded and respondent.
There was corned beef hash for break
fast that morning, and the man was I'M
commonly fond of corned beef hash
which was one reason why he was dys-
peptic-but the portion that he took on
his plate was almost untouched when
he left the table.
AS he took up his umbrella in the hail
he told himself that "a hours before he
was not a criminal. He sighed heavily.
He walked down the steps, and his
face was averted from the house.
Somebody, he thought, might be look
ing out of the window and see and rec
ognize him. He felt he could not sus-
tain a reproachful glance. Then, as he
turned to walk down the street, he
started at the sound of a sharp bark.
The pug was standing in the shelter
of the doorway, barking at the man
with unbelievable energy and hearth
ness. His curly tail vibrated and his
black muzzle barred his white teeth as
he yelped his defiance and anger, but
the man stood and looked at him with a
happy smile on his face.
''Thank the Lord!" calculated the
man, piously.-Chicago Daily Record.

Western Farmers.

Herewith we illustrate the cowpea.
AS will be seen, it is more of bean
than pea. Bulletin 102 of the United
States department of agriculture says
of it: The cowpea has been cultivated
in the south for at least $50 years. 1t
was probably first introduced on plan
tations in South Carolina, the seeds
having been brought from India or
China. From this original introduction
and from subsequent importations its
cultivation has spread to almost every

why the Heat Kills Hogs.

Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, explains why the
hog succumbs so INTERESTINGLY when
overheated. The man or horse when
overheated soon has his body covered
with perspiration, and the evapora-
ton of this at once begins to reduce
his temperature. Nature has made no
such provision for the relief of the
hog when heated by exposure to the
sun or by excessive exercise. This is
reason enough why it should have an
abundant and convenient bathing or
wsllowing place. whether on summer
pasturage or confined lot. and have
plenty of green food that is laxative

Not BE Profitable.

"Stagnant water Is the best vehicle

supply of clear. pure water. easy of ac-
cess to sheep. we hasten to advise you
not to attempt sheep raising.
Low. marshy or spouty land is an
abomination TO the fockmaster; but
Kansas is so free from this character
of land that the caution seems uncalled
for. But the ponds-the ponds some
times called artificial lakes. but rather
artificial sspools-drain them, drain
them dry, or apply the herd law and
fence them (the sheep) out"
The above true remarks were made
by Hon. F. d. Coburn, of Kansas. and
will be Endorsed by all practical shep-
herds. 1t has as truly been said the
hog cholera follows the course of
streams, is most virulent near their
banks and fades out at distance from
such waters. We know, too, that an
thrax is often spread by watering
ponds and creeks, and we see from the
above the danger of stagnant water for
sheep. In England tie liver auke,
which passes one period of its life his
tory within the body of water snails, is
only prevalent in low-lying, marshy
places. 1t is likewise true of some of
the intestinal parasites of sheep that
they are worst on such lands, and it is
proverbial that sheep should be kept
high and dry. Some argue that sheep
do not drink water, but they should
just watch them in hot summer wea Their
when the grasses are devices even in
the early morning. They do drink wa
ter. and it should be pure. We have
known of wholesale abortion among
ewes which drank water polluted with
the leechings of manure pile.
We have seen an epidemic of enteric
disease among sheep from drinking
stagnant water, while the ophthalmic
disease of sheep and cattle may often
be traced to similar source of infec-
ton. One always finds on investiga-
ton that a successful sheep-raising
country is a country flowing with pure
streams of water and dotted with ponds
fed by everlasting springs.-Farmers'

Before this experience the man hat,
entertained fairly good opinion of
himself. Now he felt that he was little
better than murderer. "And cow
ardly, mean-spirited murderer" added
conscience. Would you have kicked
mastiff like that? No; but poor lit
tie pug--an inoffensive little animal
that a magnanimous kitten would have
scorned to swear at-was fair game for
you. Do you realize how thick your
bootsoles are?"
Then imagination pictured the dog
writhing in pain with fractured ribs
and displaced internal organs, whim-
pering more and more feebly, and yet
striving to lick the hand with which its
weeping mistress tried to soothe it's
agony. OF course it would be absurd
for woman to weep over a fat, asth-
matte little beast like that, and yet
there were doubtless cases where peo-
pie became attached even to pugs.
Memory carried the man back to time
when he loved stolid and unresponsive
guinea pig, which he kept in the back
garden. He remembered that he
howled dismally when it died of a sur
felt of turnips. The man groaned.
whats the trouble?" asked the ship
ping clerk. Haven't got the toothache,
have you?'
Its been bothering me more or less
for week. Guess I'll have to have it
out" replied the man, and then con-
science went for him again.
1t happened that another clerk soon
after spoke of teamster that he had
seen trying to make a wreck and
remnant of horse pull tremendous
load-how the horse had strained its
CALLED shoulders against the collar
again and again, and then, slipping, fell
sprawling on the granite and was
dashed numerically by its driver. All
the others loudly condemned the inhu-
mainly of the teamster, but the man
was silent.
''Dare TO say word" said conscience.
"The teamSter had his load to deliver.
He had to get his horse up. He was
ignorant, but you-what excuse can you
offer?"
The man knew he had none. He felt
that he had forfeited his right to eX-
claim against anything short of the
Spanish inquisition. He had anticipat-
ed great deal of pleasure in inveigh-
ing at the boarding house table against
the brutality of the approaching prize
fight, but it was quite likely that by
night everybody would be informed
how he brutally kicked the pug. Per-
haps, he thought, the pug had died Of
its injuries. The little round body was
perhaps stiff in death, the brown eyes
glazed and sightless, the cleaning
white teeth acknowledgements he had
happened to cross the path of bitter,
malevolent reincarnation of Nero.
Allday long the mans conscience har-
ried him. 1t seemed that nobody in the
boarding house had heard about the
matter, and yet the man thought there
was distinct alteration in the bearing
of the boarders toward him. 1t affected
his appetite for dinner, as the memory
of the kick had destroyed his inclina-
ton for lunch.
One of the boarders spoke of the foot
ball game, and the man thought he de-
tected yelled allusion to his treatment
