Portable Cot for Hogs.

Following is the description given by
the Wisconsin Agricultural Station OF
a valuable portable hog cot which VIII
be found of use on the farm. The cot
is six feet wide, eight feet long six
feet two inches high in front and three
feet R;gh In the rear.
The floor is built first, with 2x4s
as stringers, and the frame Is held on
the floor by blocks at each corner. The
large sized house Is provided with two
doors in front and a temporary NOV
able partition and a temporary NOV
able partition in the middle so that the
cot can easily be adjusted to accom-
modate two lots Of swine at the same
time. on a level with the glass win
dows, there Is also a drop window,
hung on hinges fastened at
the top for ventilation and sunlight

inches In length. The bottom is made
of good stiff piece of harness leather
cut out and sewed firmly into the hem
of the ducking. A leather strap is
riveted into one side of the mouth of
the sack, and a buckle is riveted on
the other, so that the whole may be
strapped on to the horses head, as
shown In order to feed a horse must
be unchecked, and he soon learns to
place the sack on the ground where he
can push his nose TO the bottom of it to
clean out the last of the food.
For the farmer who takes a day to
go to town these sacks will be found
very handy, as horse can be fed with
them without any waste of grain pro
viding he is unchecked. A little eau
ton should be used In placing the sack
on horse not accustomed to it, as 1t
may cause him to jerk back. How
ever, after he has once eaten a meal

Farm Management.

Economy Is wealth. Extra and un-
necessary expense Is a milestone around
the neck Of many who otherwise would
succeed. Discharge the improbable
employe Stop every leak of unneces-
sary expense. Money saved Is money
made. Money invested In improved
machinery Is economy. Money invested
in the best seeds and appliances is
economy. Time wasted, labor wasted,
is extravaganza.
A successful farmer says he does not
have to inspect a farm to see whether
1t pays or not. Just give me
chance to look into the barn. The con-
dition things are kept In Is all the go
by l want" The barn is a telltale on
the careless or wasteful farmer. In
fact, economy in farming begins at the
barn In the proper handling of food,
caring for the manure, care of tools
and harness and the care given to the
live stock stabbed there. There is al
ways best way to do things, and the
best way is generally the paying one.

MEANING OF WATT.
Ii Is n Word that Few EIectric-Light
Patrons Understand.

IL Is n Word that Few EIectric-Ligh
Patrons Understand.
In the electrical world one hears and
reads great deal about watts" The
current is rated by watts lamps burn
by watts. To the ordinary layman all
this talk of watts" is as mystifying
as the death of tho late Akhood of
Swat. says the Electrical Review.
The man to whom we owe the idea
of the horse power was Scottish In
ventor James Watt, and when the cleo.
trio uait involving the idea of working
capac,ey came to be formulated the
name of Watt was chosen to indicate
this unit, just as that of Volta has
given us the term volt and Faraday
the farad
Watt considered that taking the av-
erage a London dray horse was capable
of doing the work of lifting $4,000
pounds through one foot of distance In
one minute of time against gravity. The
of this time limit, the min
ute. gave the unit of power or rate Of
performing work. This or its equiva-
lent has ever since been called a horse
power.
The electrical unit called the watt is
capable OF being represented in terms
Of the horse power, and in that form
It is perhaps more ineligible to those
who are familiar with mechanical
rather than with electrical expressions.
The electrical watt is the product OF
rolts multiplied by amperes, where the
rolt is the unit of electrical pressure
md the ampere is the unit of meas (
lrlng the density or volume of an cleo
.rlcal current
Careful experiments have demon. !
'trated that 746 watts per second are
equal to $50 foot pounds per second. or,
o state the equation In its usual form. 7
I48 watts equal one horse power. The
'orm in which electrical power general
' is sold Is computed on the basis of
Silowatt hours. The prefix kilo comes
rom the Greek Chlioi. one thousand.
\ kilowatt. written also k. W., is there
ore 1000 watts. The kilowatt hour is

ause the kilowatt hour is the unit

Money In Peanut Raising.

Texas farmers are getting 90 cents a
bushel for peanuts, and with a yield
of from fifty to sixty bushels to the
acre are calling it big money"
The acreage in peanuts for another
year will be large, as this price will
bring more than cotton at 10 cents per
pound.
The farmers of Burmah have recog-
nized the commercial value of the pea
nut, and have this year increased the
area planted to 7S,743 from 37,11O
acres last year, and it is reported that
a much larger area will be planted to
this tuber next season. Thus far most
of the peanut planting is done in the
provinces of Magwe and Myingyan

Fo.tail and Pigweed.

Both these weeds are ANNALS; that
is, they grow from seeds each year or
season and the plants die after ripen-
Ing seeds. The way to keep them down
Is to prevent the plants from ripening
seed and making sure that are no seeds
in the grain sown upon the farm. Fox
tail is troublesome, because 1t springs
up in cultivated fields after the crops
are laid by, and then it comes up in
stubble and In meadows and pastures.
Late cultivation Of corn fields, and
moving the stubble, meadows and pas
lures to keep seeds from forming, is
the way to attack this weed. Judging
from the way these weeds spring up,
whenever conditions are favorable,
there must be great stores Of them in
cultivated felds-showing the seeds are
long-lived Pigweed quickly springs up
In corn or potato fields, after culti-
yation has ceased These seeds ripen
from August 10 to November /, so 1t
will take vigorous measures to get rid
Of them. In fact, the only way to get
i'd of these weeds is to cut them down
before seeds mature. If crop Of
hem is left to mature in corn fields.

coming season, you have stored away
enough seeds to bother you for the

The Scientific Immorta,,,x

Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted British
scientist, has delivered another pro-
nouncement on the subject OF the i'm
mortality of the soul. He says first that
the simple important truth to be kept in
sight is the commonplace fact that there
is nothing immortal or persistent about
the body except the material atoms of
which it is composed. He dismisses nj
terly the notion, still taught by part Of
the Christian church, that these atoms
will some day be gathered and reunited
so as to constitute complete man as he
appeared on the earth, and who there
after will last forever. This he regards
as merely a clumsy expedient to make
pleasing the idea of the homeless. wan
dering spirit or ghost of the departed in
dividual. Sir Oliver says that nobody
knows what the soul is, but that COM
mon sense rebels against its being moth
ing, and that no genuine science had as
sumed to declare it a purely imaginary
nonentity. He holds it must be acknowl~
edged by science that no really existing
thing perishes, 1t only changes form. AZ
this has been shown clearly in the cas-.
of matter and energy, it must also be-
true of mind consciousness, will, mem,
DRY, love and other activities which in
teract with matter and appeal to the
bodily senses. These facts of the indi-
vidual human consciousness, he says, can
not be regarded as nothing, and they will
never vanish into nothingness. They did
arise with us. They never sprang sud-
denly into being from previous non-exist-
ence. They are as eternal as the Cod
head itself, and will in eternal being en-.
dure forever.

Prof. W. s. Massey says sawdust from

the manure is not worth half as much

Dip or wash the animals with a l OF
2 per cent water solution of tar dis
infectant, such as kreso. A convenient
way to apply the remedy In the larger
animals Is with spray pump, and In
sheep or hogs by dipping. Whatever
method Is used, the coat and skin must
be thoroughly wet with the solution.
After treating the he'd, the stables,
sheds or sleeping quarters should be
sprayed with about I. per cent water

Cowpea IIny.

II. NJ Cottrell, after years of expe-

pea hay is nearly equal to alfalfa in
feeding value, and contains nearly one
half more flesh and milk making ma
terial than clover hay. 1t is rich in the
mineral matter that is needed In form
ing bone, blood, flesh and milk. These
qualities make It especially valuable
for feeding growing cattle and pigs,

The total cost of material to build
the cot with floor, door, and window
complete amounts to about $3.50. For
neatness, economy, durability, and
comfort to animals, this type Of cot is
excellent. Where 1t is desirable to
keep number Of hogs in one lot the
large size Is preferable. The cot will
accommodate from three to five mature
animals and the large cot from seven
to nine. Although the Wisconsin sta
