Hawaii's board of health has of late
had many applications for licenses to

who seek the licenses is that without
any licensed sale Of liquors the illicit

ed a resolution setting forth its pur-
pose not to license any drinking places
on Molokai and its determination to
put down if possible the Illicit sale OF in

longer, with only one row of pens
and these on the south side, with
feeding alleys on the north. Sun
shine is as essential to the healthy
growth of hogs as it is to the
growth Of corn, and no effort should be
spared to provide plenty of it. A wide
house standing east and west may be
lighted by having the north side of the
roof three or four feet higher at the
ridge than the south side, and windows
built in between. This plan insures some
sunlight in each pen. At least one foot
of trough room should be allowed for
each hog. If the house is divided into
ten pens, each 1Ox14 feet, with four foot
alley through the center, it will accom-.
modate the full number while fatten.
Ing. Twelve or Is brood sows will be
required to raise 100 pigs, and the ten
pens will be none too many during the
narrowing season.
II ear corn is used largely in fatten-
Ing, labor will be saved by removing
the slides between the pens, using three
or four on one side for feeding floor,
and the other side for sleeping quar-
tiers. II this suggestion is adopted q
passage two feet wide should be pro-
vided across the end of the feeding al
ley. Reserve pens are thus kept for
store hogs and brood sows, and the full
amount of trough room can be used.
The construction of the house will de-
pend largely on the amount of money
that can be put into the building. A
cement floor and cement troughs are
advisable. The floor should slope to
the outside for free drainage and
should always be kept we'll bedded dur
ing cold weather. Drop siding over 2x4
studding makes a suitable building. 1t
IS assumed that the corn crib can be
built close by, which is better than to
make it a part of the building, as the
steam from the animals is likely to in
lure the flavor of the grain. One pen
may be inclosed entirely, to use as a
feed room where mill feed is kept, and
It will often be useful for a narrowing
pen for early pigs. The posts should be
eight feet high and floored to provide
storage for bedding above the sleeping
pens.
Outside pens or yards should be built
also, if mecns will permit, access being
made to them through a sliding door
from each pen. A good sized window
should be put in for each pen also, and
movable partitions or at least sliding
doors between the pens for convenience
in changing stock from one pen to an
other. Numerous conveniences can be
added to suit circumstances, but as so
little is stated in regard to the amount
Of money to be used, and as to personal
preference, only the general features are
given-Prof. Andrew Boss, in Orange

Why Hogs Get Mischisvous.

The way to avoid having mischiev-
Gus hogs is to keep them from getting
so hungry tat they are tempted to
break through fences and become con-
firmed roamers. 1t is the underfed hog
that is troublesome. A good many hog
raisers think that grass is enough for
a growing pig, and so it is if the pig
has enough Of it; but overstccked hog
pastures are very common thing.
While the grass looks to be plentiful,
there is not enough of the kind the
pigs will cat. A pig pasture must
contain plenty of succulent grass. 9TH
erwise it might as we'll have none AT
this season the succulence is on the
wane and daily feed Of corn is the
thing. Whatever may be true of feed
ing cattle grain ON grass, it is certain
that pigs will pay for it in growth,
and it keeps them out of mischief,
which can easily be expensive.

PLAN FOR HOG HOUSE.
Advice to a Farmer Who Wants to
Build Structure to ACCOM-
mOdate 100 Animals.

It is difficult to plan a hog house
where little is known of the conditions
governing. 1t is assumed that it is the
purpose of the builder to grow and fat
ten 100 hogs per year. or in other
words that he is likely to have 100 hogs
to shelter at one time that will average
200 pounds each. This being the correct
assumption, it would hardly do to plan
q building less than 32x50 feet, on the
ground. The building should stand
north and south. If the lay of the land
and other buildings will permit, so as
to get sunshine into each pen at some
time during the day.

A curious and interesting bit of
naval history ends with the sale of the
old United States gunboat Monocacy,
on the Asiatic station. The vessel, a
side-wheel "double-ender," was sent
to eastern waters in 1865 because of
her light draft. With her four big
smoothbores and two rifled muzzle-
leaders she did great service in the
war on Corean pirates in 1871. The
next year she stuck fast in the mud of
the Yangtse river, and remained there
% years. Then in 1900, during the
Boxer outbreak, she was hauled out
and refitted, and although an object
of amusement to foreign naval officers,
again proved her worth; for her light
draft enabled her to do work impossi-
BILE to the foreign fleet. Monocacy is a
title which should not be forgotten.
