v SHAPED, o AND SHALLOW TRoUGHs.
Louis advises the use of a low, wide,
shallow trough. Troughs should not he
so long that they cannot be handled by
one man, and they should be so strong
that they will not readily be broken u
pieces by the pigs.
A very convenient arrangement of
the feeding troughs is shown in the
sketch of a trough used in the hog
house AT the Maryland Agricultural
college. The troughs extend across the
front of the pen and are built solidly,
SO that they will not be displaced. The
front of the pen Is hung on hinges, and
winch Its into holes In the edges of
the trough and holds the pen front
firmly. When feeding the pen front Is
swung back and the rod inserted in the
edge OF the trough. The pigs cannot
then get to the feed until the front is
lowered. The plan permits feeding
without being disturbed by the eager
ness Of the animals, and the feed Is
evenly distributed.
Wooden troughs are Objectionable in
some respects. They are not very eas
lily kept clean and are not dnrabfe.
Iron troughs are used to a considerable
extent aud have much to commend
them. They are more sanitary than
wooden one and with proper care will
last indefinitely.
As o o as 1t is determined what pigs
are to be fed for market their fattening
should be started without delay. Ex-
periments have repeatedly proved that
young animals always fatten more eco
nomIcally than old ones, and therefore
any delay In finishing Ia accompanied
with a loss. Ips rare Instances il may
pay to keep a pig over winter as a
store hog, out generally he loses the
flesh he accumulated while sucking
his dam, and this cannot be replaced
except at increased expense.
Corn will now come into the ration
and should be supplemented by al. the
variety OF feed at the feeders com
mand to keep the appetite keen and
the digestive system In the best condi-
ton. This variety should consist OF
mill feeds, dairy byproducts ana sue.
culent feeds and. according to some au.
thorities, pasture. IL skim milk, whey

A GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT.
what the Good Road saves In Horse
flesh. Time and Breakage.

Local papers printed near New Iork
often contain items like the following:
'John Smith, our popular truckman'
has abandoned his trucking business
for the summer and taken his horses
TO the Hudson road. John says there
Is twice the money TO be made hauling
farmers wagons UP the hill or over the
swamps." The facts are that hundreds
of farm wagons travel every night on
the o 10 New York. They are load
ed down with sweet corn, tomatoes,
lima beans and similar perishable
goods. Parts of the road are smooth
and hard. Other PORTIONS are soft or
stony and steep. The size Of the load
is determined by the poor places in the
road. not by the firm, level tracks.
Two horses may be able to haul a load
worth $50 over a smooth road, while
the same team would struggle to haul
$50 worth over the worst places. This
might not make so much difference
with crops like hay, grain and potatoes,
for they can usually be held until the
roads are az their best. The green
produce cannot wait. II must he hauled
when il is ready or be wasted. Thus.
even though the stretch Of bad roads
covers only > per cent Of the total dis
lance, the farmer must keep an extra
horse. leave part of his load behind or
hire some one TO help him Owe the
bad places. Dozens Of men with teams
find great profit in doing the work,
sometimes earning half a dollar for a
few hundred feet of hauling. We have
known farmers to ridlcule the figures
given to show the cost of bad roads.
That Is because they do not realize
what the good road would save in
horsehesh, time and breakage.-Rural

ICE STORAGE
A s~erviceabIe and Durable House
That Largely Prevents Waste.


Looking forward to winter work. Z
l.. Hiles gives a s%easonable article in
Orange Judd Farmer on securing q
farm supply Of ice. He says:
Select a site convenient to the point
where the Ice will be used A slight
elevation on dry, sandy or gravelly soil
is best for drainage. A house 30 by -
by II fee inside viii bold 1000 tons Of
Ice. each foot i'm length Of the house
representing seven tons storage capac-
ity. A house 10 by 30 by II feet VIII
store 100 tons, each foot In length rep
%resenting a little more than three tons
storage capacity. The construction Of
either size or an intermediate one will
follow the same general lines OF ON
%Etruction.
For a 1000 ton house level of the
site and lay down mud sills 4 by :
inches q by s inch planks spiked to-
gether to break joints. Drive in stakes
on both sides. about ten feet apart, TO
hold the stills in place. The studdlng
are 2 by s inches by II feet, set with
thirty inch centers; plate, 2 by 8 inches.
Board up inside and out with / by 10
inch boards. surfaced on one side and
two edges TO make close joints. 1t will
cost a little more for lumber all one
width, but the saving in labor In han
ding it will largely Offset this.
In the latitude of Chicago two ply
waterproof paper between the studding
and the inside sheathing is necessary
20 keep dampness out of the walls and
prevent air circulation. South of Chi
cage to central Illinois two ply paper
on both sides of the studding Is re-
quired to increase the insulation. IL
paper lining Is omitted the walls be-
come damp and rot out rapidly. Fill
In the walls with dry sawdust, packed
snug, or with chopped straw or slough
hay II sawdust is not readily secured.
The rafters are 2 by 6 inches by "a
feet, with thirty inch centers and 2 by
8 inch tie %stringers fifteen feet apart
on the plate. Finish the roof with
shingles and place two slat ventilators
thirty inches square or the ridge. Coat
the house all over, shingles and all,
with waterproof whltewash or cold
water white paint. This will reflect
the suns rays and lessen waste by
meltage and reduce danger from fire,
the lime wash preventing the wood
from readily igniting.
Such a house kept In good repair will
be serviceable for twenty years and
will preserve Ice with little waste II

IN NAVAL WARFARE
Elements Of Risk in This ENTERPRISE
Are Very Great,

Are Very Great.
Captain A. T. Mahan in Scribner's
The adventure of a privateer is of the
nature of a commercial project or specula-
ton. conducted by commercial men uron
principles of mercantile calculation and
profit. The vessel and her equipment il a
matter of great expense, which is expected
to be remunerated by the probable chances
Of profit, after calculating the outfit, in
surance, ETC., as in regular mercantile
voyage. Mr.. Jones would doubtless have
admitted what Gallatin alleged. that the
business was liable to be overdone, as in
the case with all promising occupations;
and that many would engage in 1t without
adequate understanding fOrethought
The elements of risk which enter into
privateering are doubtless very great, and
to some extent battle calculation. In this
it only shares the lot common to all WAR
like enterprise, in which, as the ablest
masters of the art repeatedly affirm, sone-
thing must be allowed for chance. But 1t
does not follow. where sagacious apprecia
ton of well-known facts controls the d.
dection of effort, and preparation Is pro-
portioned to the difficulties to be cncoun-
tered. that a reasonable measure of SUE
cess may not fairly be expected. Heod-
lessness of conditions, or recklessness of
dangers, defeat effort everywhere. as well
as in privateering; nor is even the chapter
of unforeseen accident confined to military
affairs. In 1912 the courses followed iy
the enemy's trade were well understood,
as were also the characteristics of their
ships-of-war. in sailing, distribution and
management. Regard being had to these
conditions, the pecuniary venture which
privateering essentially,fs, was sure of ialc
returns-barring accidents-tf the vessels
were thoroughly well found, with superior
speed and nautical qualities, and If directed
the approaches to the English channel
or. as before noted; to- where great higE-
ways cross, inducing an accumulation of
vessels from several Quarters. So, priva-
full as is shown by the increasing number
and value of prizes as the war went on.
