Hog Houses.

In the building Of hog houses, II
such houses are to be ideal, a number
Of important points must be taken
into consideration. A writer on the
subject Of hog houses rightly says:
There is one point that is commonly
lost sight OF in hog growing. and that
ia that he Ia an animal to which sun
shine Ia just us essential as II is to
the orn plant. Neither corn nor pork
a be produced successfully without
OF the hog house have It constructed
In such q way that the sun will shine
into It on the south and reach to the
back OF the pen and on the beds OF tho
pigs" The house should be arranged
on the Inside &c that there will be .
free circulation of air between the
pens. This is especially necessary In
warm weather. The drainage should
be such that the floor Of the house
will be always dry. The arrangements
for removing the manure should be %
perfect that II can be kept out OF the
way Of the hogs at all times. The
pens In the house should be construct
ed with the idea Of often needing to
change pigs from one pen to another.
To accomplish some Of these things Il
will be necessary to have much Of the
inside arrangement made movable.

Yields of Wheat.

That the average yield per acre OF
u wheat can be doubled under proper
methods Is demonstrated by the re-
ports that we are constantly receiv-
ing from the agricultural colleges and
the experiment stations. The average
yield OF wheat In the country at large
Is only about IL bushels per acre. vel
in some OF our states where, because
of deficient rainfall, the conditions for
growing wheat are not OF the best,
the yields are FAR in excess OF the
average for the country. We notice
that even In Oklahoma the yields as
reported at the station are such that
wheat raising is highly profitable.
Yields OF from 20 to SO bushels to the
acre are given as the results Of their
various experiments in handling the
LAM for the wheat crop. What ia
done on a small scale can be uuite gen
orally done on a larger scale, and
there Is no good reason why the best
methods should not be widely applied

The Sod.

A farmer can have neither n good
Il good sod. But the kind OF sod he
needs IN his pasture is very different
from the sod he needs In his meadow.
We see in a contemporary n laudation
Of bluegrass sod for the pasture. But
We know that blue grass sod is not the
ideal sod for a pasture. 1t should DO
a part OF the sod but not the whole
thing. Blue grass makes good pas
ture at certain seasons, but during
much OF the time Is below It's prime.
The pasture sod should most certain
ly be formed Of n variety Of gras es.
so that grass will be making a l)Od
growth at all seasons when any grass
could grow.
The sod for the meadow should Of
course be made Of one kind OF grass.
The meadow IL supposed to be for the
production OF hay and the hay crop ID
gathered at one time. But In both
cases the sod should be we'll taken
care OF, should be well MANFRED and
not permitted to get thin. One OF the
great faults OF our American farming
is neglect OF the sod in both pastures
and meadows. In the sod lies much
OF the profit on the farm. We think II
our farmers would keep a close &C.
count of the receipts from their sod
lands they would pay more attention
| to them.

SnIineirr for Irec NIIIInn.

Some time ago we saw In an Aus
tralian exchange n letter from a form
or resident OF the United states tell
ing about the practice Of killing trees
by the use Of saltpetor. According To
his statement the saltpeter was In
serted In the tree while In the process
OF growth and while the leaves wera
still performing their function. A hole
was bored In the tree and filed with
saltpeter II water, after which the
hole was plugged mn. This saltpeter
Then another hole was bored and moro
saltpeter inserted, which also was dis

tree died II was set on fire and burned
up root and branch, the saltpeter maxi

how much OF a fancy sketch this was.
and ~ any OF our readers have had ex-
perience In the matter we would like
to hear from them.
Recently n discussion has been going
on as to the power to destroy green
stumps In this way. Some men say
they bored holes in the stumps and
put In the s~altpeter and water, only
TO find afterward that the stump would
not burn. Some others say the effect
was to rot the stump. which could
afterward be dug out easily. Up 10
date we have learned of no way that

lively than does the stump puller. As
to the burning up Of trees that rave

the time has gone past for that kind
of operation. The time was when
trees In this country were simply in
the way and were destroyed IN The
shortest way possible. But TO- they
