SLEEPING PLACES OF HOGS
What Should Be Provided for the
Swine During the Summer Time
as Well as Winter.

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 a dozen full grown
hogs.
The sides and roof of the portable
hog house should be perfectly tight.
A movable floor is a good thing to
have, but it need not be used in sum-
mer
BY keeping few hogs only in one
house the chances of epidemics are
lessened, though this should not be
depended on to prevent such epidem-
ics.-Farmers' Review.

THE FARM ANIMALS.

Wire makes the cheapest and best
fence.
Idleness is not a help to the horse
at any time.
When the horses feed is abundant
exercise should also be abundant.
For the mare in foal an increased
quantity of good food is required.
1t is a poor stock raiser who does not
know a hydraulic ram from a Texas
steer.
When flies are bad. cover the cow
with large, coarse blanket, made of
bran sacks.
When pig is good breeder for one
year, he will be just as good for five
or six years more.
Oats continue to be the best grain
that can be given horse in normal
condition.
BY intelligent feeding all horses
may be kept in state where little doc
toring will be needed.
Better care of the milk than is gen
orally given it would insure a better
product and better prices.

BEDDING FOR HORSES.
Needed in the Summer Time Just as
Much as During the Win
ter Months.

Some horse owners seem to think
that because it is summer and no heat
is needed that horse can be comfort
to try sleeping on the bare springs of
their beds for a while, says the Mid
land Farmer Is is no waste of ma
terial to make the bed of the horse as
comfortable during the summer as in
the winter; it is not necessary to be so
night, but there should be enough so
that the bed is comparatively soft.
If one wishes to economic try the
plan of buying a load of shavings (the
short ones), from a planning mill and
use these in the stall several inches
deep, then cover them with the long
straw or other material used. 1t re-
quires less straw and the shavings will
absorb much of the liquid excrement.
BY using them literally a top layer
may be removed and the rest will do
for night or two. Do not, however,
use these shavings too freely in the
manure pile. Some will not injure the
manure, but will act as an absorbent.
II one has too many shayings to put IN
the manure pile, use the cleanest OF
them in the hog pen or in the corner
Of the hog yard where the animals lie
during the day; in this way they viii
be converted in the hog droppings to
good fertilizer and without injury to
the nog manure.

TURKEY AUD RxEr
Weight fer Weight On Bnmer is
More Valuable as "a Endl
Than the Latter.

Discussing the comparative food value
Of roast beef and turkey, the English
Lancet says:
First, it may be said that weight for
weight the flesh of the turkey is more
nourishing than that OF beef, but the
latter is. generally speaking, cheaper
than the former. The moisture in beef,
however, exceeds the amount present in
the flesh of the turkey, and the latter
contains a better percentage of proteid
or flesh-forming substance. In either
case the percentage OF moisture is sell
dom less than 20 per cent.
In lean beef the amount of fat is much
the same as in a not too well-fed turkey.
but it must be pointed out that the flesh
of poultry differs from that of beef and
mutton in not having its muscular fibers
permeated by fat, and, moreover, the
fibers in the flesh of the fowl are short,
and readily yield to the disintegrating
action of the digestive processes. 4
large amount of fat in either case is apt
to interfere with the digestibility of the
meat. The fat of beef is more digesti-
BILE than the fat of turkey. The fat of
birds, In fact, is harder, and, owing to its
tendency to become rancid, is unsuitable
for the dyspeptic patient.
Perhaps the most important differ
ence, however, from dietetic point of
view, between beef and turkey is that
whereas beef contains high percentage
of extractive matters, turkey contains
hardly any at all. The extractive mat
tiers in beef account largely for it's pc
culiar and marked flavor, and owing to
their absence in poultry generally, and
in the pheasant and partridge, the flavor
OF these meats is delicate. But there is
no doubt that the extractives of beef as
well as mutton, are valuable, for not
only are they favoring agents, but they
also act as, perhaps, the most powerful
stimulant to gastric digestion.

A FOOLISH PREJUDICE.
Objections to Pure-Bred Dairy Stock
Are Ill-Founded and
Unwise.

The average dairy farmer has his
share of unfounded prejudices, and II
they are unfounded then they are fool
ish. One of these prejudices, which
stands like veil between his eyes and
the truth, is that which relates to pure
bred dairy cattle, says HOard's Dairy
man A great many farmers are breed
ing their herds down instead of UP be-
cause of this prejudice. Any man who
uses a grade bull shows that prejudice
and is breeding his heifers and future
COWS down.
If these men would study this breed
ing question, if they would obtain by
reading the ideas and opinions of the
best posted breeders, if they would re-
fleet for a moment how all develop
ment in an upward direction has been
obtained, they would cast this preju-
dice aside, and use only pure-bred
males. The experience of the best men
in cattle breeding is worth something
to the dairy farmer. if he would only
thing so. Thousands of them do think
so, and we see them providing them
selves with good books and papers,
wherein such experience is recorded.
But where there is one such dairy
farmer, there are ten who face the
other way. They keep the poorest
cows, and, as if that was not enough,
they breed for the coming heifer with
scrub or low-grade bull. Such men
do not realize what dairy farming
means. They do not realize the i'm
portance of having strong, prepotent
dairy blood in the male, if they expect
any improvement in the resulting heif-
ers. They are governed too much by
prejudice and what they do not know.
rather than what they do know. In
variably, if we see a man developing
a fine herd of cows, he is doing just
what they refuse to do. He has to
travel different road, and in differ
ent direction.

THE ORPHAN COLT.
Suggestions as to the Care Of the
Foal When the Brood
Mare Dies.

If one is unfortunate enough to lose
a brood mare at foaling time, and he
has an orphan colt on his hands, the
question is how to raise it. A couple
of suggestions may be in order. First,
the milk of the mare is much sweeter
than that of the cow, nature providing
for the young thing the kind Of food
best adapted to it's development, says
Midland Farmer. Cows milk, there
fore, when fed to the orphan colt,
should have a tablespoonful of white,
granulated sugar added to each quart.
AS matter of course the sugar should
be dissolved in hot water before it is
added to the milk, but do not use more
water than necessary. Every farmer
knows that the colt takes little milk
at time and takes it often. If, there
fore, the farmer is compelled to raise
an orphan colt, he should adopt ma
lures method and feed it about as
often as it naturally feeds itself when
running with the dam.
One of the most convenient ways is
simply to take an old teapot and put
a kid glove o. the spout, puncturing
the glove full of holes. 4 After the first
few days the time between drinks may
be heightened just as it is when the
colt raised by the dam is left in the
stable after she has gone to work in
the field. 1t goes without saying that
all milk fed to young things should be
given at about the same temperature
as that of the dam, say at about 100
degrees.

coast-Lines and Character.

In an address delivered before the
Section of Anthropology of the Amerit
can Association for the Advancement
of Science, Mr. E. L. Blacl1shear main
tains the proposition that the scarcity
of islands, peninsulas and bays along
most of the coast-line of continental
Africa has indirectly exerted profound
influence on the character of the inhab-
itants of Africa. by isolating them from
all the great world movements of his
tory. Deprived of the stimulus of COM
mercial and maritime influences, they
have remained stationary and dormant
with regard to the organic life of the hui
man species. These characteristics, Mr..
Blackshear thinks, have not yet been
bred out of most of the descendants of
African natives transported to this
country in slavery days.-Youth's Com
panion.
