certain number of squares are allowed
to each soldier a day. All he has to
do is to break up a square in boiling
water and add his dried fish. In a

thick soup, which to him is very good.
If he cannot procure boiling water

Ventilation Of Poultry Houses.
During summer weather no ventila'
ton is needed, as the windows and
doors, where wire screens are used,
will be open night and day. But In
the late fall, winter and early spring,
the doors and windows have to be shut
most of the time, and some ventilation
must be provided. The dirtier the
house is kept the more ventilation will
be needed. The old-fashioned venti-
lator on top of the poultry house
should be discarded. It's effect was to
take the warm pure air out Of the
house and pour down on the heads OF
the poultry a stream of cold air.
Probably the best system to be fol-
lowed is to have q long wooden tube
IN one end of the poultry house, said
tube reaching from the top of the
house to within a foot of the floor. II
this Is carried above the roof q draN
should exist in it as In chimney,
that will draw the foul air out Of the
house. II the walls are double it will
be easy enough to provide ingress for
the air on either side. Make q few
little holes on the outside near the
caves of the roof and on the inside
bore a few more holes near the floor
opposite and below the holes on the
outside. If these holes for ingress of
the air are made only on one side of
the building, they should be on the
side of the prevailing winds.
The idea of ventilating poultry
has been preached, but never tried, so
far as we know. It would hardly pay
to construct a sub-earth duct for a
common-sized poultry house, as such
duct would cost more than the poul-
try house itself. In the case of a large
poultry plant, however, it might be
tried and would doubtless prove very
satisfactory. These ducts consist of
rows of glazed (water-proof tile laid
in trenches about feet deep and
running through the ground for 100
feet or more. Generally three or four
rows of tile are laid, the ends all be.
ing sealed with cement to prevent any
water entering. The work has to be
done very perfectly to prevent water
entering and filing up the pipes. In
addition a pump should be placed in
one end of the trench so that If water
does get into the pipes 1t may be
pumped out without the pipes having
to be dug up. At the end of the
trench, away from the house to be fed
with air through these tiles, a stand
pipe is erected with hood that turns
to face the wind in whatever way 1t
blows. The trench is filed with soil
and the ground leveled. The object of
all this is to provide air for the build
ing at a temperature of, say, so de-
grees, the temperature of the ground
at a depth of feet. Summer or
winter this temperature will remain
the same, whatever the air outside.
Where man has number of poultry
houses they can all be connected with
this duct by smaller tile tubes and the
air forced In. The only time when
this scheme fails to work Is where the
air Is still. At other times the wind
blowing into the hood forces the air
into the house. The great advantage
about this Is that comparatively warm
air is supplied to the houses. Some
cheese factories and stock barns are
now using the system, which proves
very satisfactory.

The Corn Feed Problem.

A dozen years ago the farmers OF
the corn belt that we're engaged in
the raising of hogs would consider no
other feed for swine except corn.
They began to feed the pigs corn
about as soon as they were weaned
and continued to feed them corn till
they were butchered. Corn was very
cheap then except in occasional years
when there was q partial corn crop
failure. In those days corn was not
only cheap, but freight rates were
high and 1t cost great deal to get
the corn to market. There was saw
ing to the producer in marketing his
corn crop in the shape of pork. Since
that time there has been a great
change in the position of corn relative
to oats and other grains. There are
many commercial uses to which corn
is now PIT that formerly we're not
dreamed of. It now seems likely that
the general average of corn prices
will rise from year to year, responsive
to the increasing demand and the re-
strictive area of country In which
COIu Coll 10 SIOWu. no lutuI0 10
likely to see the oat and barley crops
more largely used in the finishing of
swine than is dreamed of at the pres
ent time. At any rate we are about
at the end of feeding pigs on a whole
corn diet. We cannot now figure out
a profit with such course of feeding.
For a long time yet hogs that do not
follow cattle Will be finished on corn,
but we may expect to see that finish
ing period grow constantly shorter.
Men will also realize that a change
to clover and grain other than corn
will give them some benefits in the
way of increased stamina in their
swine as well as more fecundity. The
corn feed problem is one that cannot
be ignored longer, but is in course of
solution by every swine raiser that
Is trying to make money.

Earthly Glory.


Solomon had glory
He isn't living now;
There's wonder in his story
He isn't living now;
Caesar mounted pretty high,
Charlemagne was proud and great;
Charles of England. my, o, my!
He moved at a rapid rate!
There was French King Louis, too,
Who had nothing much to do
Save be gay the seasons through
They're not living now!
There is much regretting
BY men who live to-day;
They want more than they're getting.
The men who live to-day;
They look across the past and mourn.
They bend to labor and are sad;
They wish that they might nave been
born
To things such as some ancients had;
But better far. 1t seems to me,
Than having Immortality
And being dust it is to be
Up and round to-day.
