OF all external parasites the sc4h

In fact, upon the ranges, scab aud

HOGS AND SHEEP.

Don't think that pig eats merely
to live.
A wet, slippery pen often makes a
lame hcg.
1t is well to shift the hog pasture
every year or two.
In crossing, use males from the
smaller of the two breeds.
Have you any animals on the farm
that return such large profits for the
money invested as sheep?
Keep the best pasture for the lambs.
Glover is good, so is a fresh blue grass
pasture, but an old one is productive
of worms and possibly death
Never buy a poor sheep; you have
no time to fool with it. Let your neigh
bors experiment and throw away their
feed If they wish Buy the best quail
ity you can, but try to have the whole
flock uniform.
1t is best to have salt boxes in the
pasture where the sheep can find
them at will, but If not done, make a
practice of sailing them every Sunday
morning. You will get acquainted with
your sheep then, and careful shep-
herds know it pays to promote friend
ship between flock and flock-master.
Parent hogs overfed with corn al
ways produce offspring weak in bone

healthy pigs, and the sooner the farm

profits.

houses as pass along a country road
some look very comfortable and home
like, but there are too many of the
other kind-bare, neglected looking
places, and uninviting, not because of
cheapness, but because they lack care
and the inspiration born of reflection.
In town and in the country l see both

appearance is not attractive An arch

builder can put it up in thorough work
manlike manner, but after it is fin
ished and the family moves in, unless
real good common sense moves with
the family the neighbor will be in
clined to admire the fine house from
a distance.
Then, there are a good many freak
houses, houses that are built to suit
some one with a fad or fancy OF
their own. The fellows have been
experimenting, which is very costly
work When a man decides to build
a house he should remember that the
modern dwelling as it is built to-day
by the best talent in the building line
is the composite work of one inventor
after another for thousands of years.
A man must have an extraordinary
opinion of his own ability who will de-
liberately step very far outside of the
beaten path worn as it is by such a
succession of architects and builders.

The house shown in this plan is rs

by the rooms upstairs coming directly
over the rooms below which gives an
opportunity to carry the stovepipes
through to the rooms above and to
warm them with drums. Houses may
be made very comfortable in this way.
Stoves burn less coal than a furnace
and a great many prefer them. It
is easy to warm any part of the house.
and it is not necessary to keep fire
in the rooms that are not used.

are laid out and planted with suitable
shrubs and flowers. No plain bare

that there is something lacking. The

A house like this may be built, when
conditions are favorable, for about
$1,000 complete with gas fixtures and
plumbing. 1t may be that the gas
fixtures are not wanted at first, but It
is better to put in the pipes. Recent
improvement in small gas plants make
It possible and often desirable to in
stall a little machine just for home
use. II the pipes are in the fixtures
and burners can be put on at any time.
Another thing that should be remem-
