manger end the gate is fastened by
a pair of gate hinges.
Two stiff sticks are fastened to the
joist above with bolt, one over the
manger end and one over the other
end. In the lower end of each Of these
sticks a notch Is cut which comes over
a staple and holds 1t, the fence, firm.
When the fence is not in use it may
be lifted from the hinges and put away
and the sticks folded up against the

temporary division can he easily made,

A plan for doing this is shown in the
illustration. A gate is made of proper

In no other way can good, thorough
work be done so quickly and easily
as with tools kept in nice working
order. And after you are through with
them, store them away in dry place.
Have place for every tool and put
it in its place. When you lay them
away coat all steel parts with oil
mixed with white lead or lard and
Kerosene, the latter to prevent the
mice and rats from eating off the

When selecting male birds with q
view to propagating flesh and prolific
laying, they should be moderately
short-legged, unless the hens are very
low in stature, and even then short
legs should be preferred for compact
ness and growth of flesh, for the cock
erels from a sire having long legs are
apt to be stilted, and they do not put
on flesh kindly. The sire should have
a broad, full and round breast, broad
back, to secure plumpness and com
pactness of flesh in the offspring.

Large Litters.

There is a wide difference in the
bank account of the breeder whose
sows bring and raise him ten or twelve
sows only average four or five pigs at

sows that do not bring good sized
litter and raise them. 1t is true that
this Is not such an important consid-
GRAFTON with the professional breeder
who raises pigs to sell at fancy prices
to others; because If his sow only
brings four or five pigs they should be
very fine at weaving time and possibly
one or two of the litter command an
extra fancy price as show pig or

breeder who looks to the pork barrel,
the rock upon which the hog business
is founded, for his dividends, then the
amount of pigs raised is a very i'm
portant item to him.

Dear b other you have left US,
10 this world of pain and woe,
but when we asked II you were afraid.
You gently answered no.
Never more on earth shall we heal
your voice,
Never shall we hear you call,
Just before you passed the portal OF
death,
You said, know you all.
The voice that did not complain,
Beneath the Christening rod,
We will hear ir again,
In that home, the palace OF God
Dearest brother, thou hast left us
We thy loss most deeply feel,
But tits God that hast bereft us,
He can all our SORROWS heal.
All Is sad within our home.
Sad and lonesome every spot,
Listening for his voice till weary,
Weary, for we hear it not.
You are gone but not forgotten
Nor will you ever be,
AS long as our life shall last,
Dear brother, we will remember
thee.
