According to the observations of W.
Dietrich, of the Illinois Experiment
Station, the following suggestions as
to the location and construction of hog
houses are given:
"a hog house 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
wallows.
"rhe two principal kinds of hog
houses are the individual houses and
the large houses with individual pens.
Each has Its points of advantage.
For sanitation the building should
be constructed so that 1t Is dry, ven
tilated, free from dust and drafts and
so that the direct rays of the sun fall
upon the floor of the pens at the
time the winter crop of pigs Is far
rowed. These rays should also be ex-
cluded during the summer.
'rhe building should be made serv-
iceable by being built so that 1t can
be used every day in the year, and be
arranged so that the largest amount
of work may be performed with the
smallest amount Of labor.
For large houses gates and parti-
tons made 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.
"'rhe large hog house is operated so
that two filters per year are farrowed
and grown for market, and so that
the pigs are put on the market at the
most favorable season."

Good wool is not produced by sheep
that are starved and fed alternately.
Evenness of wool depends upon even
ness of condition of the sheep.

THE WEALTH OF POVERTY

b
Wealth bides with poverty. The wilding
Or little violet Nesting by the stream, !.
lis these that set the gazing eyes
a-dream,
Not all the beauties of the garden-close.
LIS not in mighty tempest where it blows,
Nor in the sea that shouts to cloud and
sail,
That music lives, but in the nightingale,
Inc wee, brown bird that sings at dusk
its woes.
Yea, and the crowns of happiness and
love,
Grace not the troubled brows of king
and queen;
But, Fnte's free gifts, they deck the
hearts that move
In lowly state amid the quiet scene.
Ills not rich Croesus, owner of the sod,
But passing beggar hath the peace of
God!
-Munsey's Magazine.

The peculiar brittleness of their tails
is sometimes an advantage to certain
lizards. Perching head downward on

example, is often seized by hawt.

Corn is low in price some years in
certain localities. 1t is possible that
next season there may be but half a
crop, but the excess over that required
for consumption may bring good prices
Farmers who have too much grain on
hand, with prices ruling low, should
endeavor to increase the number OF
animals on the farm in order to con.
vert the corn into something more
saiable

"Heeping the Fences Tight would

thing that is aggravating it is to chase

ing that unthrashed oats, cut when the
grain is in the rather soft dough
(milky) state, and cut fine with stalk

farmers raise far more weight of oats
to the acre than of hay.

three years of experience on forty
farms in Minnesota. farm labor costs
about twelve cents an hour and horse
labor about seven and half cents.

$50. Hay can be produced for one-half
and grain for three-fourths of the cost
of raising corn.

IndIan. and War Paint.

The Indians have a tradition that
tells how the custom of painting their
faces originated. A certain big chief
while hunting deer was chased by a
lion and fell exhausted, calling upon
the Big Bear, which Indians believe
was the grandfather of man, to save
him. The Big Bear heard and went to
the mans assistance. scratching his
foot and sprinkling the blood over him.
No animal will eat bear or taste his
blood, and when the lion smelled 1t he
turned away. But In doing 50 he
scratched some Of the blood off the In
dams face with his claw by accident
When he found himself unhurt, the
Indian was so thankful that he let the
blood dry on his face. With the marks
of the lions claws this gave the effect
Of stripes, and ever afterward when
going on hunting expeditions for man
or beast the Indian painted his face In
stripes as a charm against danger.
