DOWN TO BUSINESS.
BY DUNCAN ~. SMITH

IL matters not how we crate
About a cause that we are booming
And on its merits loudly pirate.
Great bales Of heated air consuming.
And. be IL politics or art
Or something else for which we holler,
The cause that's closest 10 our heart
Is one that brings us In a dollar.
Aloft In realms on high we soar,
bout the future specializing.
And theories deep we ponder DER.
Their merits carefully debating,
But when we open up our vest
And tell the searcher TO go through US
He'll find the fad that suits US best
Is one that brings the money to US.
We talk about the simple life
And everything in hat connection
In fact, we argue with our wife
That 1t is good for the complexion.
In every way We figure out
That IT is better than the other.
And then we turn and think about
How we can do a man and brother.
We plan to push reform along,
To hand a knockout blow TO error,
To take a crack at every wrong
And be the evildoer's terror.
And then We see a dollar note
And drop our hobby TO pursue II,
Toss of our necktie and our coat
Lest some one else should beat US
TO II.

INDIVIDUAL HOG HOUSE.

two sides sloping in toward the top so
as 10 form the roof. These are built on
skids and when necessary car be
moved as a whole by being drawn by
a horse. They are built in several diff
ferent styles; some have a window in
the front end above the door, while all
NAV have a small door In the rear end
near the apex for ventilating purposes.
They are also built in different sizes.
Indeed, there are about as many forms
of cots as there are individuals using
them. The form in which these houses
or cots are built is of little significance
as long as the general principles per-
tanning to the health Of the animals
and the convenience OF the breeder are
observed
The arguments in favor of this type
Of houses for swine are that each SOW
at narrowing time may be kept alone
and away from all disturbance; that
each litter of pigs may be kept and fed
by itself, consequently there will not
be too large a number Of pigs In a
common lot; that these houses may be
placed at the farther end Of the feed
lot. thus compelling the SOW and pigs
to take exercise, especially In winter,
when they come to the feed trough at
the front end Of the lot: that the dan
ger Of spreading disease among the
herd Is at a minimum: and In csse the
place occupied by the cot becomes In
sanitary, 1t may be moved to a clean
location.

BUILDING A
HOG HOUSE

In order to grow swine most success
fully in a country with a cold or varied
climate, 1t Is necessary TO have some
kind of a hog house. The proper loca-
ton of this house or shelter Of any kind
for swine is one of the first essentials
to success in swine husbandry. The IL
linois experiment station gives the fol-
lowing points on the location and con
struction of hog houses;
In providing shelter for swine as
well as for other classes of live stock,
surroundings should be furnished that
conform as lea TO nature as the im-
proved condition of the animals and
circumstances Of the owner will per
NIT. The best surroundings are those
that will satisfy their natural desires.
but so modified and improved as to
promote the largest financial results.
The best location for a hog house,
therefore. is one that is well drained
and well lighted and one that will per
NIT access to pasture, to good shade
and TO a stream Of running water that
Is free of disease germs, where also
there are opportunities for making
wallows in clean mud. If the build
ing can be placed on a sandy or grav-
ely soil it viii afford better drainage
than a clay. silt or peaty soil would
furnish.
Light and shade are desirable for
reasons that are apparent to every one.
Pasture should be accessible, as consid-
cradle food is obtained from the soil in
the form of roots. worms and insects,
as well as many materials that are not
foods, but are necessary to the health
OF the pigs. A limestone soil is prefer.
able because the water from such a
soil, as well as the soil and stone them
selves, furnishes the lime that is so es-
sential in building up bone. A rolling
pasture is preferable because ii fur
nishes better drainage and a form of
exercise that Is conducive to the pro-
duction OF a large percentage Of lean
meat. II also tends to produce strong
legs with upright pasterns, which,
from the breeders standpoint, are
among the first essentials Of a good
hog.
Individual HOG Houses.
Individual hog houses or cots, as they
are sometimes called. are built In many
different ways. Some are built with
four upright walls and a shed roof,
each of which (the walls and roof, be
ing a separate piece, a easily be
taken down and replaced, making the
moving of these small houses or cots
an easy matter. Others are built with

n WELL BRED HOG.
Far In Of the Ordinary One
In Point 0f PROFIT.

In a number of our excellent breeds
of swine il would appear that our
breeders have reached the limit In i'm
provement. They have the quick grow
ing, early maturing development and
capacity for making the largest posi-
BILE amount of slaughtered meat from
a minimum consumption Of feed. In
such strains prepotency is so firmly
established by long years of selection
and judicious crosses that IT, charac-
ter of the litter is practically assured
at time of service, and the work that
careful breeders have accomplished Is
as surely within TIE province of any
other breeder making as intelligent an
application of swine r7owledge.
Swine are so commonplace and SO
universal on American farms that the
fine possibilities of good breeding are
not always appreciated. Too often to
the ordinary farmer "a hog is a hog
As a matter of fact, he is such a fix
ture and usually such a profitable one
that whether 10y more careful breeding
and feeding his pr~oftableness can be
increased is not considered. The well
bred hog, the one that has been
brought up to make the largest gains
in the shortest time on a given amount
of feed, is as far in advance of the or
binary scrub hog in point of profit as
the special purpose dairy cow is of the
old brindle of the brier patches. More
over, ii is a fact that hogs are not al
ways raised and fattened for market
at a profit if an account be kept with
them and all feed given them duly deb
TIED to them.
Calling our swine to a strict account
would often show that the margin Of
profits In feeding them must be found
In the returns the best feeders make
over the poor ones; hence the question
arises. With well bred, good swine so
cheap in comparison to their superior
ity why should not all farmers use the
