the floors of cement, with fall of one
half an inch to the foot from the back
side to broad, shallow gutter just in
front of the trough. This gutter should
drain toward the end of the house, fur
thest from the feed room.
Construct truck to run on tracks,
or even on the cement floor, nearly az
wide as the passageway. On this the
litter can be easily removed to a wagon
placed at the end of the building. A
separate feeding truck may also be
used If desirable; a feed room 10x20
feet will give ample storage room and
provide for kettle. Bedding may be
stored in the loft over the pens. The
building may be added to as desired.
Each pen will accommodate a brood
SOW and her litter, or from six to ten
fattening pigs, according to size. Make
doors between each pen. and from each
pen to the passage. If durability is
sought AFTER. the side walls and parti-
tons may also be of cement for one
to three feet. II the exercise yards are
large and we'll drained, they need not
be cemented.-Country Gentleman.

Unhealthy Palaces.

The recent illness of the czarina has
heen attributed to the unsanitary con-
dition of many royal palaces in Russia.
It may be so, but there are cases where
Inflammation of the ear arises from
mite other causes. There is, of course,
considerable difficulty in renovating the
private apartments Of monarch
whose life is in constant and i'm
minent danger from obstinate an
archist intrigues. Unless rumor grave
" lies, the car himself does not know
where he will sleep before night comes,
and to throw open the geography of the
palace to workmen would increase its
terrors tenfold. The best plan would
be to employ foreigners, and, preferably,
Englishmen, who are least of all touched
by hatred of monarchy. A court is al
ways conservative, like university, and
it is not uninteresting to compare the
statements about the damp and I'M
healthy palaces of Russia with the IA
nous American mothers characteristic

An omcial English Table Of Rules
That Seems to BE Worthy Of
General Application.

The Live Stock Report recently pub
lished list of rules governing the de-

These rules are those governing the
classification of animals at the Smith
field and Birmingham shows in Eng
land. While there IL more or less va
ration In any class Of animals and We
can see very serious objections to the
use of such rules for the above purpose
they have general application; and
our readers may find them very con-
venient on frequent occasions:

hired man built Just before threshing
time in the summer of 1900, there be-
ing nothing in the way of shed or
shelter big enough to accommodate our
flock of sheep. Being a tenant, told
the landlord that If he would pay for
the nails and sawbill l would build a
shed for our sheep. The illustration
gives the plan. To build shed of this
size, it takes 26 posts 10 feet long and
from to IL inches in diameter (should
be of some good, lasting timber) at
top end. Then we set three feet in the
ground which will leave them stick out
seven feet. Six poles 81 feet long are
to be put crossways Of the main part;
three poles II feet long to be put on
the wing or addition. This makes the
cross poles eight feet apart, just right
to receive rails for the covering. l
hewed the posts on one side and coun-
tersunk three lines of nail ties of 2x4
inch studding 16 feet long. This length
just reaches every other post and
makes the logs easy to haul to the mill.
It will require about 400 feet of STUD
ding for nail. ties and managers, and
1904 feet Of lumber for siding. The
black dots in the diagram represent the
position of posts and the dotted lines
the hangers, marked w. w. There is
door at each end eight feet wide, SO
as to admit team and wagon or sled,
which makes it convenient for haul
ing out manure. This shed was built
in the northwest corner of the feed
yard, and makes a good windbreak dur
ing the daytime while out in the yard

Digestion Of the Horse.

A good horseman says If he can
feed and water his>horse he will never
have sick horse from overeating, in.
digestion or stomach trouble. The
careful horseman learns to know his
horses and just wha4 amount of feed
they require and the kind Of feed,
while the careless hand feeds the s. me
to an idle horse as to the worker, and
misses a meal occasionally, and the
hungry horse is given double feed
which he gulps down and has the collie
or some trouble. The digestion of. the
horse Is sensitive and requires care

Corral for Feeding Sheep.

In the west sheep feeding corrale
are quite extensively used. When
feeding racks are used the sheep get
much Of the hay out of them and
trample it under foot. The most eff.
fective, convenient and economical ar.
rangement for feeding sheep has been
found in a corral constructed Of sec
lions of board fence so arranged that
hay can be scattered along one side
of the fence, while the sheep are on
the other side. The fence should be
boarded tight up to the height of the
sleeps neck. A space should then be
left OF proper size for the sleeps
head. No hay is pulled through the
fence by the sheep while feeding.

THE IDEAL MUTTON SHEEP.
1ts Production Depends Altogether on
Judicious Selections Of Rams
and Lambs.

The sheepman who expects to raise
good mutton sheep-the thick-fleshed.
broad-backed kind-must have the
right kind of q ram, for in sheep, as
in all other kinds of domestic animals,
like produces like, says Successful
Farming.
To produce lambs that have thick
flesh and broad backs, a ram with
those qualities must be selected. The
get of the ram will partake of the form
and qualities of the sire more than
any other animal will after its SIRE
II the ram has a round and smooth
form, with a back that is we'll covered
with flesh when he is thin, it is an in
dication of good form, and his lambs
will inherit that good form, will breed
we'll and be thick fleshed.
In selecting ram, the one that
shows a sharp backbone as soon as he
begins to get thin should be avoided,
for his lambs will be poor feeders and
will not show that broad back SO nee
essary in good selling sheep-sheep
that all the buyers will want and will
bid against each other and will run
the price to the highest point in order
to secure them.
In selecting lambs for feeding it
must be remembered that lambs that
are born with good backs, thick
fleshed, will retain that form to the
end, and that such lambs will be
delight to the eye when fat and will
make the best kind of mutton. The
profits of the feeder will depend very
much upon the kind Of lambs and
sheep which he selects for feeding, for
there are scrub feeders among sheep
as we'll as among cattle. The sheep
breeder can afford to raise only the
good kind, and whatever breed he Sc
lects-whether for luton or wool or
for both-he should have the best and
raisel the best Of the breed that he
selects. g..
