a floor space seven feet square; but for
a feeding floor they should have rather
more room, say, floor space eight feet
square. 1t is a difficult matter to plan
out a satisfactory hoghouse for some
one else, when the surroundings are not
known or his plan or manner of growing
hogs. Every pen in a hoghouse should
have an outdoor yard connected with it,
for hogs cannot long be kept in close
confinement on a hard floor. Young
things will suffer much more quickly
with lameness than older animals. In
this place we will allow space for the
pigs about one-half that allowed for the
grown hogs. | will give the floor plan
and Mr. P can construct the kind of a
building that will suit him best from it.
He can make one-story structure, shed
form, or else two story, using the up
per story for feed room. A small room
at the north end will be found convenient
for a well and for feed mixing purposes.
The plan is u by "a feet. In this latitude
| would make the long way north and
south; cut an alleyway three feet wide
off the west side! for the large hogs
sleeping room cut space five by nine
feet off the north end. Then give them a
feeding room six by nine feet, connecting
with sleeping room by door in the east
end of the partition
This will leave space nine by 10 feet
for the pigs. Give them a sleeping room
six by nine feet off the south end. This
leaves them feeding space seven by
nine feet. In each case make the door
into the lot from the feeding room, but
close to the partition between the feed
ing and sleeping rooms. The lots can be
made as large as Mr.. P wishes or has
land for.
This building will give much better
satisfaction if f1oored with cement
which will cost little if any more than
a first class floor of lumber. This plan
will probably be as large as Mr.. P. will
want. Allowing as much space each for
the pigs as for the larger hogs would
doubtless require a house larger than he
would care to build at first-John M

DOGS BLOW BELLOWS.
Unique LnbOr-SaVinG Device of a
New York Blacksmith Which
Passersby Watch.

On an uptown street, on the east side
of the city, hundreds of people daily
pause at blacksmith's shop to watch
three large Newfoundland dogs, which
are employed by the brawny smithy to
work the bellows of the FORCES of his
shop In one corner of the shop is q
large wooden wheel, about eight feet
in diameter. and wide enough for a dog
to stand in. When the wheel is at rest
the dog stands in much the same posi-
ton as a horse in child's rocker with
its head always turned toward the forge,
awaiting orders. When told to go
ahead" the beast on duty at once starts
on brisk trot, which makes the wheel
turn around rapidly, and by means of a
crank and lever the power is conveyed
TO the bellows.
The dogs work willingly and with such
intelligence that people are never weary
of watching the efforts of the animals
to keep the smithy's fires bright. Each
dog works in the wheel for one hour
and then rests for two They cost their
owner about two dollars a week for each
to feed, and he estimates that they save
him $12 a week, as otherwise it would
require the services of two men or a
. small engine to do their work-N. Y.

GROW MORE POTATOES.
No Crop Yields Better Profits for a
Corresponding Outlay of
Labor and Time.

An acre planted to potatoes will
yield more than 10, IA or II times
as much food material, in the order
named, than when planted to wheat,
rye or peas. The German scientists
hold that about half the land under
cultivation should be devoted to the
growing of vegetable products, princi-
pally potatoes and sugar beets, and the
other half to grains, mostly wheat, rye,
barley and corn. In the production of
potatoes Germany is far in advance of
this country, the yield per acre being
fPom two to three times as great and
the total product six times as great.
In addition to consuming an enor-
nous quantity of this vegetable as hui
man food, the Germans use it for man
ufacturing purposes; alcohol, starch
and glucose being the principal prod
ucts. Nearly a hundred million gal
Ions of alcohol, used largely in the fac
tories, are produced every year from
potatoes in the Fatherland, while in
this country the industry has not been
born. In view of these facts, it would
seem that here is vast field for de-
velopment, which the American farm
er has overlooked or neglected; a field
which even now, with but little care
and attention, yields an average return
or from $40 to $50 per acre.-Farmers'

The Turkeys in Winter.

Provide a good, warm house for the
winter and on stormy days get the flock
in about four p. m, otherwise they may
roost in the trees. Through the winter
months get on speaking terms with the
flock and freely provide clean water, fine
bone, shells, scraps of meat, etc. Do not
confine them too closely in their diet,
but vary the fare with oats, chopped
hay, small potatoes, apples, etc, cooked
and mixed with meal and given to the
flock while warm.-Orange Judd
