at the base, five feet six to the gable,
with 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 runners. The run
ners are connected by three crosspieces
two feet apart, to which the floor is
TO be attached. For the general frame
work seven 12-foot two by fours
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 lnotty, the
knots should be sufficiently firm that
there will be no danger of holes. /
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 cover the ends. 1t
will be good idea to face 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,
save 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 floor. 1t is something done
but because of roofing in the winter
time such arrangements are seldom
satisfactory. A floor is the cleanest
healthiest, and, generally, most con.
venient. 1t is most apt to mean warm
nest for the hogs, and, what is more
important, dry one. In putting in
such floor l would use nothing save
two-inch planks, probably foot wide
If this size is used, only three 12-foot
plsnks will be necessary. l do not
believe that floor of inch boards
doubled would prove satisfactory in
such place on account of the likeli
hood of holding moisture and ultima tie.

CHEAP HOG SHELTER.
The Sort of Structure Here Described
Is Getting to He Quite Popular
in Some Sections.

There is tendency with many farm
ers to turn from the old-fashioned
hoghouse to the small shelters large
enough to hold possibly half-dozen
medium-sized pigs, says Michigan
farmer in Breeders Gazette. Even
farmers who still cling to the large
hoghouse are using small shelters in
addition to the other, where hogs are
turned off into field, and in some
cases in small yards the large house
might be used. The small house has
the advantage of being more easily
handled, and involves less attention to
keep in order.
In building such a structure the
first thing is to build the frame. This
is simple, and can be modelled largely
after the general outline of the shed.
The first things necessary are the run
, ners on which the affair is to be built.
Perhaps nothing better than two sew
en-foot planks three inches thick and
six inches wide can be secured. Hewed
sticks from the wood lot can also be
made to do. The general dimensions
of the building are six feet each way

fertile to produce thirty and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre from less
than a bushel of seed; where the gov
ernment gives everyone desiring it u
free homestead of 160 acres OF this
land, and where more may be bought
at from So to SIS per acre; where one
years crop will much more than pay
for the land upon which it is grown, it
is wicked waste of time to cultivate
the "fence corners"
Before l had acquired this informa-
tion / was on one farm where road
way cut off a small corner of land from
the remainder of field of wheat.
There was, should say, nearly an acre
in this little plat of neglected ground.
and l asked the owner of the farm why
it had not been put under cultivation.
"To undertake to plow that little
three-cornered strip of land would
take far more time than the land is
worth, giving both the present market
value. To add it to the remainder OF
the field would cessitate q longer
way around from the main road to the
house. Lying just across the road
there is 100 acres of as good land as
this upon which have this year grown
more than 30 bushels of wheat to the
acre, and l can buy that land of the
railroad for 81 an acre. 1t would take
as much time to plow that small piece,
in its present shape, as it would to
plow two acres of the land across the
road, and SO would be what we in this
country consider a waste of valuable
time"
Straight burrows and long ones is
the blowing rule in Western Canada,
and the gang plowis the favorite meth
cd of turning the soil. The Western
Canada farmer, found, cultivates his
land upon wholesale methods. No
matter where he may come from, no
matter what the methods in vogue in
his native place may nave been, the
farmer in Canada soon learns that it is
wholesale methods that pay best there.
and for this reason 1t is Western Cana
da that is the home of every improved
agricultural machine that tends to
the speedy handling of great harvests
or the production of them. These ma
chimes are not always the product of
Western Canadian inventors, but the
Western Canadian farmers are among
the heaviest buyers of this class Of ag-
rieultural machinery in the world.
The Canadian farmer never becomes s
land poor as does the farmer in the
States. When he buys land he knows
that it will bring him adequate returns
upon his investment, and that his gov.
ernment will not put burden of taxes
upon it. AS sample of what is posi-
BILE with the progressive farmers in
Western Canada let me cite the case of
one living near White Plains, in Mani
toba Mr.. Winslow by name. During
the past season this one man had 2,70O
acres of land planted in wheat, and har-
vested 67.50o bushels. He makes farm

SENSIBLE HORSE TALK.

Don't throw time and money away
on lunkhead.
Neighborhoods must pull together
in these times.
The man who has not an inborn
fondness for horses should raise the
steer.
Don't raise colts from cross
grained, ill-tempered mare. She must
be bright and intelligent, with a fine
bloodlike head.
A western man who makes a spe-
cialty of coach horses has handled
over 600 high-class horses since the
beginning of the year.
Buyers know where to go to find
the horses they want. Any neighbor-
hood can bring the buyers to their
doors by simply raising the stock.
1t costs no more per pound to raise
colt than steer, and the colt will
sell for four times as much as the
steer if the colt is of the right kind.
The business of buying and match
ing carriage horses and fitting them
for the wholesale market is a new
and important branch of the horse
business.
A half dozen farmers in a communi.
ty who appreciate good horse and
know how to raise n colt could, by
patronizinz or purchasing a high-class
sire, bring the buyers in and make q
nice profit
A hired man who persists in swear.
ing at or speaking to the teams in q
loud, harsh manner should not be
tolerated. All farm animals should
be treated with kindness. 1t neve.

ing on these fertile lands Immensely
profitable by going about it in
wholesale way.
Do not, however, ina gine that it
is only the wholesale methods that
pay well in Western Canada. / saw
men who owned only the 100 acres
of land the government had given
them as a homestead who claimed
to be making better livings for
themselves and their families and
saving more money than they had
ever been able to do IN the States
on the same amount of land. Prac-
tically every one of these compara-
lively small farmers whom / met as
sured me that it was their ambition to
purchase more rand as rapidly as they
could accumulate the means with
which to buy. They fully realized that
they could not get too much of what
they knew was a good thing. There
is vast amount of difference in buy
ing productive land at SO to S5 an
acre and at $40 to $40 an acre.
The straight burrows and the long
ones are possible in Western Canada,
where, as / know from my own investi-
ettions made during the past summer,
farming pays and pays well.

"URIOSITY and love of travel
combined caused me to take an
extensive trip through the ag-
ricultural sections of Western Canada
during the past summer, and while
there / was given the best of opportu-
mites of studying and judging for my
self of the conditions that exist in that
extensive section of our continent.
After 1 had travelled over few mil
lion acres of Western Canada, and
:. watched and studied what at first
Aseemed to me an extravagant waste of
land on the part of the farmers, be-
came better acquainted with condi-
tions and the very good reasons for
this seeming wastage.
1 had been used to the farming oper-
atoms of the more thickly populated
States, where to make farming pay it
was necessary to cultivate practically
every foot of ground; where it was the
rule rather than the exception to go
to the length of blasting out, If neces-
sary, heavily rooted trees or large
powders; where much of the farm
land was secured by clearing it of tim
ber and stones, which had been accom-
plished only after years of toll and
privation on the part of the first set
tiers. There travelled with me over
these millions of acres of Canadian soil
gentleman who had been rearee upon
just this sort of farm in Michigan,
and, as he expressed it, land was so
scarce and so valuable because of its
scarcity that we had to cultivate even
the corners of the rail fences"
But in my journey through the agri-
cultural section of Western Canada,
ranging from Winnipeg on the east to
the Rocky Mountains on the west, and
from the international boundary on
the south to the Saskatchewan river
and beyond on the north, 1 saw moth
ing that savored of our method OF
"fence corner farming" and in time
learned the reason for the little un
cultivated tracts.
Time, rather than land, is the valu
able commodity in Western Canada. In

A Philadelphian tells the story of wait
er at restaurant in the Quaker city who
has lately announced that he has begun to
study French.
'Do you find it necessary here?" asked
the customer.

been offered steady job in Paris at one of
the hotels if | can learn French"
But Paris is full of French walters" said
the gentleman. "Pm afraid you're being de.
ceived."
ooh, no, sir!" said the man, with much
earnestness and absolute simplicity. ITS

of the hotel says the walters he has can t

speak it, and that's what he wants me for,

GEORGE M. PULLMAN TO WE'D.
His Engagement 90 Mrs. BrazelI, n
widow OF san francisco, Has Been
Announced.

George NJ. Pullman is once more
gong to tempt fate and enter the
holy If somewhat fragile bonds of
matrimony, just as soon as he can
secure a divorce from his present
wife, Lynne Fernald Pullman. The
engagement has been announced to a
few intimate friends, which means
that everyone in Burlingame, San
Mateo and Redwood knows of it, and
it is admitted somewhat cautiously
by relatives of the fancee, Mrs. Bra
zell, who is Mrs. Sanger Pullman's
sister.
Mrs. Brazell is one of four West
sisters, who were considered and still
are among the most beautiful women
in San Francisco One of the girls was
married to Hugh Mcdonnell, mine
owner, who has the reputation of be-
ing fabulously wealthy. Another,
while living at the palace hotel with
Mrs. Mcdonnell, met and shortly af-
terward was married to Sanger Pull
man. Still another, who still re-
mains Miss West, is teacher in San
, Francisco.
Mrs. Brazell was always thought to
be the prettiest and most attractive
of the family. She is the oldest and
| considerably the senior of young
Pullman. She has two children
boys, the eldest being nearly 12 years
of age.
Mrs. Brazil was married when she
was very young. Her husband was
Jim" Brazell, a very popular man in
! San Francisco. He had plenty oi
money and spent it freely. Finally he
lost all he had in mining speculation
and drifted away from home, leav
ing his wife and family. Subsequent
ly Mrs. Brazell obtained a divorce
from her husband. HE died recent
ly at the city and county hospita
alone and friendless.

The conditions surrounding arctic
travel are such that the principal diff
ficulty is found in maintaining COM
muncation with base of supplies. 1t
is believed that wireless telegraphy
has now reached a point where, at
least, it promises such development
that future exploring parties will be
able to carry along apparatus and
base camps. If this proves to be the
case, much of the terror of the arctic
will be removed, and exploration will
be made both easier and safer, with
the possibility that this added instru-
mentality will enable the discovery of
the pole at no far distant date.-Elec-
