ASTOR BUYS A CASTLE.
Former Home of Inflated Queen Anuz
Boleyn Being Modernized by
American Millionaire.

London.-Hever castle, in the county
OF Kent, which Mr.. William Waldorf
Astor bought for an English home, has
proved too historic for comfort. 1t was
the home of Queen Anne Boleyn, and
was built in the reign OF Henry VI. 1t
has a portcullis and moat, and is de-
c1dedly medieval. MIR. Astor has had
a large bungalow mansion erected quite
close to the castle. Eight hundred men
nave been employed on the contract;
and he intends to have this most up-to-
date country house equipped with the
latest scientific appliances for promot-
ing happiness. Archaeologists are
aghast at the vandalism in interfering
with the quiet that broods over Hever
castle, but Mr.. Astor, while he oonsid-
ers the castle an interesting example of
the Tudor period, does not regard it as
an ideal residence. However, the Amer

BATHTUB FOR HOGS.
Cement Trough in Which the An

of Great Value.

Lately we visited the farm of one
OF the leading hog raisers of south
eastern Iowa. Among other improve
ments we notice cement hog wallow
mat was about foot deep and six or
seven feet square. This could be filed
with water from an underground pipe
leading from a tank on a hill. and
could be emptied into a tile drain by
removing plug in the bottom. This
was done twice each week. and the
wallow disinfected with crude carbolic
acid.
The idea of bath tub for hogs will
sound ridiculous to some readers. but
we are sure that little consideration
Will convince the most prejudiced that
a clean place in which to wallow is
fine for hog health.
Those who favor the mud-hole saw
that 1t is natural for the hog to cover
himself with mud and water; and that
when a thing Is natural it is not detrl-
mental to health. They tell us that
the hog is non-sweating animal, and
that the only means he has of cool
ing himself is in the walow: and IL
the wallow is not provided he must
suffer from the heat.
The argument looks well in print,
but we hardly think it can stand in
