influence Of Wheat Awns.

Everything has an economic value
either on the positive or negative
size. In Germany some scientists have
been studying the value of the awns
on the wheat heads. Red winter
headed wheat was studied Two plats
we're selected, in one of which all the
awns were removed from the spike as
soon as they appeared, while upon
the other they were allowed to remain.
The ripening began two days earlier
in the case of those spikes deprived
of their awns. The absence of awns
is accompanied by a smaller sized
grain and by less weight. The grain
from the awnless spikes was richer
in ash but poorer in nitrogen and phos.
phorus. Comparisons were made with
the figures obtained in this experiment
and the results of growing bearded
and beardless varieties of wheat were
found analogous in each case. BY com.
pairing the average yields of awned
and awnless wheat for number Of
years 1t was concluded that the awned
varieties gave smaller yields of grain
but the individual grain possessed n
higher absolute weight and the fluctua.
tons of the bearded wheats are less
than those of the beardless varieties

Concerning Hog Houses.


prof r. S. Shaw, in bulletin 81 OF
the Montana Station, says: The size
of the hog house win be determined
bv the number of brood sows and
poars TO be kept. AS regards shape a.
long narrow building is preferable, OF
such proportions for instance, as lex
As. In such a structure a 315 foot
passage way should run from end to
end along the north side Of the build.
ing. thus leaving all the pens on the,
south side. Pens Sx12h will furnish
room for a brood SOW and litter or
several fattening pigs, according to
size. One pen of twice the capacity
should be constructed to furnish sleep
ing quarters for larger number OF
animals, although an extra shed could
be constructed cheaply to protect the
animals during the pasture season.
Each pen should be provided with a
small hinged door on the south, and
directly above 1t window. Not more
than two windows will be required on
the north side. The troughs should be
placed directly under the partition ad-
joining the passage way, and this par
tition so constructed as to swing from
the top. In this way the pigs can be.
excluded from the trough while the
feed is being supplied. The swinging
partition is held in place by means Of
a slide in the center which works up,
and down thus resting on either side
of the trough as desired. Less food is
wasted when the fiat bottomed
troughs are used. Because of its.
splintery nature hemlock makes dur
able trough. the pigs not caring to
chew it. Concrete overlaid with ce-
ment furnishes a good flooring, its
only fault being that it is cold. This
may be overcome by OVERLAPPING a
small portion with plank for bedding
place. Plank floors give good salts
faction but should be made water
tight, or else much filth will work
through and produce unsanitary con-
ditions. One or two yentilators should
extend from within few feet of the
floor up through the roof; in many
cases these do not extend below the,
ceiling and as a result remove only
the upper warm air leaving the foul,
heavier air below. If necessary to Sc
cure warmth the inside may be lined
and the spaces between the studs filed
with sawdust or chaff The chief es-
sentials of good hog house are
warmth, sunlight, dryness and good
ventilation without cold draughts.

Leek Flavor in Butter.

From Farmers Review: A man
writes that he has accepted a posi-
ton as buttermaker in a region where
there are leeks in the pastures and
that both the milk and the butter
have a strong flavor from this weed.
He wants to know what is the best
way for me to deal with such milk"
In reply | have to say, that the best
treatment known for milk containing
the flavor of leaks at the present time,
is to areate it thoroughly at milking
