Bulletin No. 100 of the Illinois Elk
construction and operation of hog
houses. 1t gives numerous drawings
and pictures to illustrate the same, and
the bulletin is summarized as follows:
l. A hoghouse should be located so
that it is well drained, we'll lighted and
gives access to pasture, good shade,
pure running water and clean mud wal
lows.
= The two principal kinds Of hog
houses are the individual houses and
the large houses with Individual pens.
Each has points of advantage.
g. For sanitation the building should
be constructed so that it is dry, VEN
tilated, free from dust and drafts, and
so that the direct rays of the sur fail
upon the floJr of the pens at the time
the winter crop of pigs Is farrowed-
These rays should also be excluded In
summer.
f. The building should be made serv-
iceable by being built 50 that it can
be used every day in the year. and BE
arranged so that the largest amount OF
work may be performed with the small
est amount of labor.
.. For large houses, gates and parti-
lions of wire are best, because they do
not obstruct the light and heat rays
from the sun, do not hide the pigs
from view of the attendant, nor from
each other, and do not furnish lodg-
ment for disease germs.
6. The large house is operated SO
that two litters per year are farow-
ed and grown for market, and so that
the pigs are put on the market at the
most favorable season.
This is practical bulletin on a sub
ject that should interest every farmer
who raises hogs, as it contains many
useful hints and suggestions about
hoghouse construction.

Orgies In Holy War.

The declaration of holy war such as
has just broken out in Casablanca, Mo-
rocco, with the murder and torture of a
number of Christians, or Nazarenes, as
the Mohammedans derisively call the
whites, is a periodical event in northern
Africa.
1t is always attended with fanatical
orgies of the widest kind, and the life
of a Christian falling into the hands
of the religions crazed mob is not worth
a straw. Death is not enough. either,
and the most atrocious indignities are Wis
tied upon the bodies of the "infidel."
Travellers who have witnessed the be-
ginnings of ''holy wars" say that the
scenes attending them are weird and
thrilling. The white-robed fanatics. with
coal black faces, blazing eyes and barred,
white teeth, dash hither and thither
through the narrow streets, sometimes
shrieking curses at Christians and their
religion, changing to chant of passages
from the koran and finally throwing them
selves to the ground with their faces to
the east, and praying to Allah and Mo-
manned his prophet.
In these frenzies there is no deed that
they will not perform: a holy war enthu-
siast would alone charge a regiment of
white soldiers and die with a smile of
joyous happiness.

Imperishable Paper Wanted.

Lionel Walter Rothschild, London,
England, has been for long time de-
voting a part Of his share of the
Rothschild family wealth to the pro-
duction of one of the costliest books
on record. It's subject is extinct birds.
1t aims to give accounts of all birds
that have become extinct in historical
times.
The author, whose private natural
history museum at Tring Park, Hert-
fordshire, is world famed, has spent
about 100000 on the work, while the
publishers have expended more than
5000 for engraving blocks alone.
They have also been experimenting
for years to obtain an imperishable pa
per, Mr.. Rothschild wishing his work
to endure for all time, because he
thinks it improbable the subject will
ever be rehandled.
1t is stated the publishers have now
obtained for the plates paper they are
sure will take color printing without
any coating and give perfect results.
1t costs about SO cents a pound. Only
800 copies of the English edition Of the
work will be printed, 1t will be sold
for SIZE copy. Foreign editions will
follow.

AGREE WITH CANADA
NEW POSTAL RATES FOR Gee
ONT CLASS MATTER.
Modification Of Present Convention by
Which Sources OF Canadian Dis
satisfaction VIII Be
Removed.

Washington. An agreement to
amend the postal convention between
this country and Canada was reached
at a conference between Postmasters
General Lemieux of the Dominion and
Meyer Of the United States. The new
arrangement will, 1t is hoped, remove
the causes for complaint by the Cana
dams of unfairness in the transmits
sion OF second-class matter.
Canada accepts the tentative pro-
posal of the United States that second
class matter mailed in one country
and addressed to the other be sub
ject to rate of one cent for each
four ounces or fraction thereof on
each bulk package, prepaid by stamps
affixed.
Under the arrangement which has
heretofore existed such mail matter
has been transmitted to It's destina-
ton in either country by payment Of
the regular second-class rate, no fiscal
settlement being made on account Of
the difference in volume of the mail
received by one country over that re-
ceived by the other.
On account of the very large pre-
ponderance of mail matter going from
this country to Canada over that re-
ceived in the United States the
agreement has operated very mate
rally to the advantage of this coun-
try.
The rate agreed upon is substan-
FRS ncfn nIa Ia
which the individual citizen Of the
United States now enjoys, the excep-
ton being that publishers in the
| United States have an additional
privilege Of mailing bulk packages,
at the rate named, separately ad-
dressed newspapers and periodicals
intended for delivery to subscribers
at one post office, and the cost to
American publishers will be at least
so per cent. less than If the postal
union rate should be applied.
Last fall Canada gave notice that
she would abrogate the present con-
vention May Z, but stated that she
was willing to negotiate for a new
one. The convention now in force
has existed in its present form since
1904.
Before the formal motive of abroga-
ton the United States post Office
department has been informed that
many American publications were
carried at second-class rates in
Canada which would not be allowed
in the second class in this country
About 100 American publications
have been excluded from the second
class in Canada, but some of them
got back again, numerous American
periodicals of questionable value
are largely circulated in Canada
and more or less feeling against
them exists among publishers over
the border.

Twelve minutes past the hour. Sud
