Sleeping Places of Hogs.

The sleeping places of hogs should
be under cover at all times of year.
Build the hog house so that the
hogs cannot root under the walls and
make way for rats and mice.
Cement floors, though expensive
are to be found very serviceable in
the hog pen, as they prevent the hogs
from roofing under the timbers. Such
floors should be we'll covered with
bedding.
More pigs die at narrowing time
than at any other, and for this reason
all useful appliances possible about
the pens should be adopted.
The portable hog house is not being
used extensively in many of our
states, especially in those states
where hog cholera prevails.
A portable hog house should be
large enough for half dozen full
grown hogs.
The sides and roof of the portable
hog house should be perfectly tight

Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" 5ak.
ina Powders.


ing Powders.
The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation: they certainly
give the purchaser plenty Of powder
for his mony. These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior ma
terials that they will not make light,
wholesome food. Further, these cheap
baking powders have very small per-
centage of leavening gas; therefore it
takes from two to three times as much
of SUCH powder to raise the cake or
biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder. Therefore, in the long run.
the actual cost to the consumer of
such powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
and acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line, and always unpalatable. They
are never of uniform strength and
quality.
Why not buy a perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is at
the same time moderate in price and
one which can be relied upon? Calu.
met is always the same, keeps fndef-
initely and gives the cook the least
trouble.

that it is not desirable to have hay

get into the milk and affect it, some
times quite injuriously. In an old
stable where we used to keep our
COWS the NOW was just above the
heads and backs Of the cattle. The
cracks between the boards were not
very tight, and in the spring when
most Of the hay had been used the
dust easily fell through these cracks
and onto the cows. A cat running
over the boards above would send

jersey Cattle,

It is rather strange that very little
island in the English Channel should
have produced breed of cows that
has become the leader as a specific
dairy breed and that is now known
the world around. 1t is also rather
strange that the world has so taken
to this breed that now there are hun,
dreds of times more Jersey cows pro,
.duced in other countries than in the
Isle of Jersey. The secret of the
influence Of this breed is that in this
island they have been selected and
bred for long time along lines that
must result in the production of the
very best possible dairy COW.
This little Island of Jersey formed
part of the Duchy of Normandy in
early times. 1t is about IL miles long
and not more than seven wide, not
much larger than two townships in
the United States. Its area is about
81 square miles and about 10000
acres. 1t will thus be seen that its
area is much less than that included
in the city of Chicago. The climate

Sheep Notes.

The old idea that sheep do not need
water is good one to get rid of. It
has caused many sheep good deal OF
discomfort. Give them all the pure
water they can drink, and if they want
to go without, the conscience of the
owner will be no longer troubled.
Green feed is very important for
sheep, and this should be given even
when the pastures get dry in mid
summer. Il pays to cut some of the
green forage for the sheep as well as
Tor the cows.
When sheep are to be sold it pays
to fatten them moderately to give
them a good appearance. The sheep
that has an unthrifty look is not likely
TO find a man anxious to purchase.
1t is we'll to. change the pasture Of
:he sheep occasionally, as one pasture
MAY become filthy, especially if the
weather is dry for many weeks at a
time.
Turnips are still one of the best
feeds that can be given the sheep.
English turnips can be sown at any
time and will begin to produce food
for the sheep early in the summer.
The English get very good results in
feeding turnips to sheep.
1t is not very profitable to feed the
sheep grain in summer, unless the pas
lures are very short. Grain is not
particularly helpful to the young
lambs that are developing into sheep
Their stomachs are more adapted to
'ucculent feed.
Sheep like short grass better than
long grass and so do better on short
pastures than on long pastures. This
is true in spite of the fact that sheep
are great weed eaters.

The production of the play was the
outcome of a movement among certain
disaffected Japanese in Honolulu to
bring ridicule upon the Consul General
and endeavor to have him removed
from office. After holding mass meet
ings at the theater, where professional
orators acclaimed against the Consul,
accusing him of collision in conjunc
ton with the Kei Hin Bank to cheat
Japanese immigrants, and thus agitat-
ing the Japanese during a time when
the plantation laborers were somewhat
restless over the Lahaina affair, it was
decided to present play wherein the
Consul would be shown up to ridicule.
The promoters asked for license and
were refused by the High Sheriff. Their
printed application for the license
shows that they intended to make an
attack on the Consul. Obtaining legal
advice, from ex-Judge Gear, it is said,
the promoters announced that they
would put the show on the boards, free.
The initial performance was given to
a crowded house. Any one was at lib
erty to enter, but it was noticed that
the pit was reserved. According to the
testimony, one had to pay a fee to sit
