at the base, five feet six to the gable
with a six-foot slant length to the roof.
The frame for the ends will follow the
general outline of the roof edge. The
A-shaped ends are connected with ga
BILE piece and two crosspieces some
where between gable and where bases
are nailed to the The run-
ners are connected by three crosspieces
two feet apart, to which the fioor is
to be attached. For the generalframe-
work seven 12-foot two by tours
are all that is necessary. Twelve feet
is the best length, from the fact that
all are cut six feet long, thus avoiding
all waste.
The lumber used in covering the
framework should be of good quality
and practically clear, or, if knotty, the
knots should be sufficiently firm that
there will be no danger of holes. l
think four-inch pine, matched stuff, is
preferable. If this width is used, 10
12-foot boards will cover the build
ing in good shape without any great
waste. In addition to these, there will
be required eight more boards of same
width and length to the ends. 1t
will be a good idea to ace the ends of
the structure just below the roof
boards, and also put boards on either
side of gable. If this is done, there will
be required three more boards of the
same length and width as the others,
saw that it is preferable if this lum-
Der is unmatched stuff.
1t does not seem to me advisable to
build one of these shelters without Civ
ing it a floor. It is something done,
but because of roofing in the winter
time such arrangements are seldom
satisfactory. A floor is the %cleanest,
h~ealthiest, and, generally, most con-
venient. 1t is most apt to mean a warm
nest for the hogs, and, what is more
important, a dry one. In putting in
such a floor 1 would use nothing save
two-inch planks, probably a foot wide.
If this size is used, only three 12-foot
planks will be necessary. I do not
believe that a floor of inch boards
doubled would prove satisfactory in
such a place on account of the likeli-
hood of holding moisture and ultimate

There is a pretty custom in the Ha-
waiian islands of decorating a popular
resident or visitor on leaving the is
land with wreaths and streamers of
flowers which are hung around the
neck and on every available part of
the frock and hat. These wreaths are
composed principally of carnations, of
which large quantities are grown for
the purpose. A native yellow flower
with a powerful scent is employed to
this end. These wreaths, or ~"leis," as
they are called in the vernacular, are
also presented to women On every pos
sible occasion by their men friends

Feeding Is a Real science.

Some people have a way of feeding
cattle without making them fat. The
fact of the matter is, feeding live stock
is a BUSINESS that can stand consider
able close study. a man gradu-
ates in this school, for one experience
is not always just like the previous one.
They are similar in this respect, that
al stock consume more or less feed
if they can get it. just how to balance
and regulate the quantity is the thing
that tells on the ledger of profit and
loss. Agricultural colleges have ex-
perimented and helped the feeder to
solve the problem, but, after all, exc
perience is the best teacher.-Chicago

Is Lumpy Jaw Decreasing.

A representative of the Farmers
Review was recently talking with a
business man who is brought into
close relations with cattle raisers and
who has abundant opportunity for OBJ
serving the frequency or infrequency
of cases of lumpy jaw. He expressed
the opinion that the disease is less
prevalent than in former years and
that it seems to have been decreasing
for the last five years. The gentleman
in question says that there is less than
usual this year at least in the states
most affected by drought. This condi-
ton o. the weather he thinks favor

The best food that l lave found for
pushing pigs is milk mixed with
shorts placed in a trough close to the
pen, where the mother cannot get at
it. The little pigs quickly learn it is
for them, and as 500 as they eat it
up good, add a little corn meal with
it, and when three months old 1 put
as much oats ground fine as 1 have
shorts and corn meal. Then soak
shelled corn and feed it for Stops.
Make the slop thick, just so it pours
readily: put a little salt in it; it aids
digestion and is relished more by the
pigs. As a substitute for milk l use
oil meal, old process, and soak slop
for IL hours. I get more growth
from this mode of feeding than any
thing / have tried yet. Pigs, when
being pushed heavily, should have les

Beware Of the Cold Bath.

The cold bath in the morning is not
SO popular as it was formerly. There
is much energy expended in the re-
action. and just at the time of day
when this energy is at its lowest ebb.
Then, too. cold water has very little
cleansing effect. Very hot water
stimulates the nerves. which is the ef-
feet that we are seeking from the cold
water, while it does not demand the
energy of reaction of the latter The
duration of the morning bath should
he as short as possible-hardly longer
than the mere application of the water
TO the skin, followed by a brisk rub
bing. However. many prefer a cool
sponge bath in the morning, and if
this is followed by warm glow and a
feeling of well being it certainly is
beneficial. Many people are not strong
enough to react we'll A hot bath at
night is most cleansing and restful.
General bathing must be regulated by
individual peculiarities. = Emma E.
