The Hoqhouse.

The first requirements in the hog
industry is a good hoghouse, says
John Cownie. You can't get along
without that. In the old times we
had them gathered around the straw
stacks, lying around fence corners,
and sometimes quite successfully. But
there is too much risk from loss un-
less you have proper shelter for both
brood sows and young hogs. They
must have protection, and so l say
that the first requirement is a good
hoghouse. In my hoghouse l have an
alley running down the center. l
would have the alley four feet wide.
with pens on each side six or eight feet
and window to each pen. No out
side door but l would have a door
opening into each pen from the alley
and window to allow light and ven-
tilation for the hogs at all seasons of
the year. l would set the hoghouse
north and south, so that the morning
sun would strike one side and the
afternoon sun the other, so that dur
ing the day, when the sun was shin
ing every pen would be warmed and
lighted, and lit up with the sunlight.

An Electric Typewriter.

An ELECTRIC Typewriter. .-7
If by the use of an applied power the
ordinary typewriter could be operated
by depressing the keys one-eighth of
an inch, requiring only the lightest
touch to produce both the ordinary
impression of the type face and the
powerful stroke necessary for mani
folding, such machine would reduce
by fully four-fifths the exertion which
the operator is compelled to put forth
in running one of the ordinary ma
chimes. 1t is just such a machine
which a Connecticut inventor has pro-
duced, as illustrated in the picture. 1t
has its own individual motor, with con-
nection to an incandescent electric
light socket, and is stated to require
about one-fourth as much power to
operate it as is consumed in a sixteen
candle power light. The type in this
machine is formed on the face of a
wheel, making partial revolutions in
either direction before being depressed
to the paper. Upon depressing any key
ever so little there is swift whirl
of the type wheel, blow on the pa
per, and the wheel is back in place
before the operator can possibly touch

Details Of the .Udder.

Milk Is a secretion OF the mammary,
gland, said J. J. Repp in an address to
Nebraska dairymen. This gland is a
dependency of the skin, and is a mem
ber of the group of glandular struc-
lures known as compound saccular or
racemose glands. A COW has four such
g--:::2ds which, combined, form what is
popularly known as bag, or udder.
Each gland is composed of Is or 20
'1stlnct lobes which are held together
by connective tissue so as to form q
single conical mass. Each lobe is sub
divided by penetrating septa OF
fbrous and fatty tissue into numerous
lobules which are again subdivided
into the individual sacs called acini.
The acini are very small, barely visi-
ble to the naked eye, and each one is
lined by numerous columnar epith.
elial cells. These cells are microscopic
in size, varying from 1,100 to 1900 OF
an inch in diameter. Each acinus has
minute tubular duct leading from it.
These small ducts unite to form larger
ones which constitute the ducts of the
lobules. These larger ducts still fur
ther unite to form the common lactif-
erous, or milk-bearing, canals which in
turn empty into the large cavities at
the lower part of the glands called
milk sinuses. The ducts and milk
sinuses are lined with epithelium.
BY way of illustration, in order to
make the description which have
given more clear, will ask you to i'm
agine a very prolific grape vine with
fifteen or twenty punches of grapes
hanging close together. This would
represent in a rough way a mammary
gland, each one of the punches would
figure as a lobule, and each grape on
a bunch an acinus. Now conceive each
grape followed out almost to the hull
and then lined with small column-like
bodies. These bodies would represent
the cells. The stem of each individ-
ual grape will represent the small, in
tralobular duct which conveys the Sc
cretion out from the little sack in
which it is formed. The main stem of
the bunch and the principal branch
upon which the various punches hang,
typify the interlobular and the COM
mon, excretory canals. The 4fibrous and
fatty Tissue between the acini and To-
bules of the gland may be likened to
the air which everywhere fills the in
terstices Of the various parts of the
vineful Of grapes.

White Holland TURKEYS.

From the Farmers Review: AS
breeder OF thoroughbred poultry for
some years, would briefly state that
the White Holland turkey has proved
to be the most remunerative of any
breed of fowl have kept Some claim
one tom is sufficient for ten to twenty
hens during the breeding season, but
| am successful when only seven to
nine hens are mated to one tom, and
breedi1cG< stock prefer tom with
pure white plumage throughout, with
nice pink legs, standing up erect on
short, heavy leg bones, with heavy,
compact body and plump breast, and
not weighing less than SO pounds.
The hens should be of like stamp and
build, and not weigh less than 1S
pounds. When practical, mate old
hens with young tom and visa versa.
To insure fertility, turkeys must have
a wide range. and never use sick!y

Pasturinq Winter Wheat.

To what extent winter wheat can be
pastured without great detriment to
the crop is a problem. Much expert
menting remains to be done to solve
it. The Oklahoma station made some
tests in this line last year and the ex.
perimenter's report on the result
makes interesting reading. The plan
was to give different wheat fields diff
ferent treatment in this regard. Some
of the fields were pastured only when
frozen, while others were pastured
both fall and spring. Even in the win
ter pasturing the ground was badly
punched up" Check fields were not
pastured at ALL The report of the
result says:
The following is the yield per acre
of the different treatments.

Missouri's Example.


The University of Missouri is GER
tainly doing most excellent work in
it's efforts to disseminate agricultural
information throughout the rural
schools of that state. Every year
a teachers summer school is held at
which the teacher.students are given
instruction in agriculture and horti-
culture. At least 5000 children in
Missouri are learning this year these
subjects because of the instruction
given to teachers at Columbia during
the past summer. The Department Of
Education of the state is preparing to
work with the College of Agriculture
in introducing the study of agriculture
and horticulture into the public
schools. It is claimed that in this
work the, University Of Missouri is
not only leading. the state, but the
nation as well. It is certainly making
first-class experiment on a magni.
ficent scale. It is. demonstrating
what can be done in this line. Dur
ing recent years the policy of the men
at the head of that institution has
been broad, and energy has been
shown in putting it into practice. The
fruition Of the work Is being already
seen in Missouri and the example 10
being felt In other states. ~.
