Comfort for Swine.

\ model sleeping room for swine may
lie cheaply constructed by using heavy
lumber aud covering it with tarred
paper. The house should be set up from
the ground the height of a brick laid
Sat at each corner and the space be
tween the corners filed In with boards
to keep out the wind. The floor should
be Of plank or cement. and there should
be some division between the portion
where the animals are to sleep and the
clear space in the house. This division
need be nothing more than an eight
inch pink set on edge Plenty Of straw
Should be used for bedding. and when
it is broken up so that it is too fine for
this purpose it may be scattered over
the floor in the clear portion of the

Meeting Farm Competition.

Time was when the farmer needed
only to keep close watch of what other
farmers in his own county or State
were doing in order to meet competi-
ton fairly Now he must keep his
eve on competitors in every State in
the Union and even then he frequently
finds himself running behind The
remedy lies largely in change of meth
DDS and the building up of soil ferttl-
ity. Many of the farms in the West,
and in the great corn-belt sections at
that. are not producing corn to com
pare in quality and yield per acre with
many of the cornfields of the East, on
farms that have been worked, some of
them. for more than century, because
the owners of alese Western farms
have taxed the fertility of the soil nj
returned little to it, The farmers of
the South learned the lesson of over
taxing the soil by the constant crop
ping to cotton. and a bitter lesson it
was. They are wiser now, and are
realizing the value of stock. of legumes
and of the iud cious use of commercial
fertilizers. III, soil of every farm is
the factory of It's owner and to pro
d,lce the greatest crops possible for an
indefinite period it must have constant
care, study and improvements, other
wise. like any wornOut machine. it will
fail TO produce results.-IndianapOl

Wife of tie President Planning n Revc-

A dress revolution is in progress in
Washington, the effect of which is to be
the total extinction of the deeollete gown.
Washington ladies, without distinction Of
position. have appeared at dinners in the
regulation decollete gown. Quips and
sneers at this full dress, or undress. have
been unavailing to compel the ladies TO
raise the superstructure Of their gowns
by an inch, but Mrs. Roosevelt and her
associates propose that while the gown
itself shall not he tempered with, jack
ct or dinner coat shall become a proper
and fashionable mode of keeping the
shoulders warm. The lamented Mrs.
Gage was a champion of this reform, and
many Of her companions ia the cabinet
assert that her death is attributable TO

Prof A. ID. Selby of the Ohio station
has tested the effects of extreme cold
upon certain seeds, including corn,
wheat. rye, fax. sunfower, castor
bean. cucumber, mimosa. yellow lupine,
sain foin and pine. They We're taken
right from the temperature of the room
and immersed in liquid air, for six,
twelve, twenty-four and forty-eight
hours for each lot. The liquid air rep
resents a temperature equal to 80 de-
grees below zero. certainly an extreme
test, for it is not often that the cold
est portion of the United States reaches
much more than 30 degrees below zero.
The seeds were terminated by the side
of lots not subjected to treatment, and
there was no essential difference in the
proportion that terminated. The corn
was not of high grade. and the starchy
portion cracked badly. but the germ
did not seem to be affected. The eX-
IRENE cold seemed to be favorable rath-
err than otherwise to the flax and rye.
OF course the seeds were properly
dried, that is air dry, before being cub
jected to the test, but with this precau-
ton the farmer need not fear injury
TO seeds from freezing weather. If the
castor bean, native of a tropical eli
mate. could endure such cold. our gar
den beans and peas should do so, and
we see no good reason why squash
pumpkin and melon seed should not en-
dure cold as well as cucumbers, or
clover, cabbage, turnip and others of
the same size as well as lupine and
haxseed. American Cultivator.
