Hinged or Sliding Windows.

Some poultrymen have sliding win
dows and seem satisfied with them.
The men that have the hinged win
dows say they prefer that style over
the other kind chiefly because in wet
and stormy weather the wind does not
beat in to wet the birds, as it does
when the windows slide in grooves.
In the hinged windows the hinges are
at the top and the window is opened
at the bottom. The windows can
easily be held open at various dis
tances and the rain falls down. All
the air comes in at the bottom of the
opening, and this keeps the poultry
house dry.

SALE OF THE CITIZENS NATION
AL BANK,

We gave full particulars last week
of the transfer Of the property and
business of. the Citizens National
Bank of this city. The new board of
directors consists of Robert Thomp-
son of Cresco, Iowa, president; James
! D. Sheedy of Austin, vice president;
P. H. Friend, John w. Mackie and
Lafayette French of Austin. AS yet
no cashier has been appointed, but
j. E. Crippen is retained as assist
ant cashier. The capital stock of
$780, 900 and the surplus remain the
| same. The financial standing and
| ability of the Austin directors are
we'll known here. They will give
| close attention to the practical work
of the bank and are conservative
| and careful. The other heavy stock
| holders are Robert Thomson, presi-
dent of the Cresco Union Savings
| Bank, John McNaughton, the mill
lionaire paper manufacturer of Ap-
pleton, Wis, and president of a ma
tional bank there and J. P. Shells,
cashier of the National Bank of
| Neenah, Wis. He is rated at three
quarters of million. The transfer
lasc week was made under the super
vision of J. L. Root, national banB
examiner, who pronounces the bank
in excellent condition at present and
says that it should make one of the
strongest financial institutions b in
Southern Minnesota. OF the stand
ing of the president, we clip the fol-
lowing from the Cresco, Iowa, Times:
Robert Thomson has been elected
president of the Citizens National

holders who are Austin's business

of Austin, believing that he will
make a complete success in this new
venture as he has in his ~Cresco
bank. . The new management solicits
the accounts of responsible business
men and farmers In this commun-

take care Of all responsible custom

GROWTH OF PIGS.
Difference Observed in the Develop
ment Up to Weaning.

Pigs do not grow with the same
rapidity from the time they are born
till the time they are weaned.
Whether this is due to the greater
ability some pigs have for digesting
food or whether it is due to the fact
that some pigs get more food than
Sthers is a matter for conjecture.
The average weight of Poland
China pigs is in the neighborhood of
three pounds at birth. In one case
on record, a pig that weighed 3.6
pounds at birth, weighed at time of
weaving, 70 days after birth, 469
pounds. Another pig Of the same lit
ter weighed 81 pounds at birth and
in 20 days weighed 57.3 pounds. An
other pig of the same litter weighed
80 pounds at birth and only 21.S
pounds at time of weanings 70 days
later; and pig that weighed only 1.9
pounds at birth, weighed 1856 at time
of weaving.
This latter started out as a runt,
but outstripped another pig that was
of normal size at birth. His prenatal
development was: against him, but he
had a supply of energy that enabled
him to develop vigorously after birth.
In the so days: after weaving, this
pig, that started out as runt gained
44.5 pounds in weight, while the
heavier pig of the litter of eight-a
pig weighing at birth 3.6 pounds
gained IS pounds in the so days after
weaving.
At the end of the 120 days from
birth, the pig that was the runt at
birth weighed 80.1 pounds, while the
other pig weighed 8l.9 pounds. He
was just 1.S pounds heavier than the
ono developed from the runt. It is
interesting to note that the heavier
pig was at birth heavier by IL
pounds and that after 120 days hs
was is pound heavier. The one
tenth pound might be due to error In
weighings. So these two pigs held
their relative weights from birth to-
the age Of 120 days, but not the per-
centage of differences.
This goes to show that 4 very little
pig at birth may be just as valuable
for the feeder ~ 4 big one.
However, it would take 4 great
many examples Of this kind to- indf-
cate a law. We have not much
data of this. kind on which to- base
conclusions.

BREED GOOD HORSES.
Perfect Harae Should Have Form
Action and Good Disposftlon.

Every civilized nation, and some Of
tho uncivilised ones, for that matter,
recognize the value Of the horse. The
perfect horse is tho noblest of all ami
mails, and yet perfect horses are scarce.
To be perfect the horse should not
only possess form and action, but
should have good disposition. He
should be courageous and free from
hereditary diseases.
At the fairs and horse shows may
be seen all the best types of the horse.
They have been carefully and scien-
tifically bred and properly cared for.
Out Of the 100000 horses in the
United States, countless numbers suf-
fer from cataract, sidebones, ring
bones, spavins, fistulas, spr1nghalt or
navicular disease. II we want sound,
perfect horses we must breed to the
best type Of horse and mare, says the
Journal Of Agriculture. In France the
government insists on veterinary inspec-
tioa ana tho use Of unsound stallions
ssisT nef* psrmttted:.: Perfect tesls can
b spoiled BY neglect or abuse. The
youngsters should b managed care
fully, ted generously and not bs sub
ject to hard work before maturity.
The; most Femunsrativs branchsf :ol
breeding are the heavy drafter and
tho light harness classes. With care
in the selection Of sound stallions and
a liberal system OF raising the foale
the perfect horse can be produced that
will command top prices when offered
for sale in the open market.

Study the Markets.

It only remains for the market gar
dener to make a close study of his
marketing to be one of the most fav-
ored sons Of agriculture. Too many
farmers lack tho ability at this end
Of the machine. It's nice to produce
good crops, but it's not very crafty
ing If you do not profit by such labor
and ability. It is probable that If 4
choice was to be made between the
two, an element of business, and =
keen eye for getting the prices, and
the knack for raising good stun, the
latter requirement would be more de-
sirable. :t..

Hoo Pasture More Essential Than Ever.

Hog pasture is now more essential
than ever before, as the grazing of the
hog is the phrase of feeding him that
makes the most money. Green grass
and clover are still cheap, though
dried grass and dried clover are ad-
vancing in price. When corn was
cheap the pasture was of secondary
consideration. With corn too high
to feed to hogs the pasture assumes q
position Of great Importance.

DRY LAND FARMERS UNEASY
Lack of Winter Moisture Causes Anx
iety in Arid Belt.

Dry land farmers have begun to cast
anxious glances heavenward In search
of hope for heavy spring rains, says
the Yakima Republic.
So little moisture remains in the
ground as the result of the winters
precipitation that It will have little
virtue in the production of crops on
the highlands in central Washington
IL not augmented by heavy rainfall
during the spring months.
Little snow fell in the valleys OF. the
Yakima country during the past win
ter, while 1t is said that the snowfall
In the mountains has been quite equal
to that of any previous year, general
ly. Very little rain came during the
winter months to moisten the soil be-
low the surface.
In the older districts where culti-
vation has been in progress for years
the effect of this winter drouth will
not be severe, it is claimed; but in the
raw land districts where cultivation
is proposed this year It will discourage
the extensive use Of the acreage on
the uplands which It was the purpose
Of homesteaders and others to plant
to vegetables and, in some cases, to
wheat. However, there is yet time for
a heavy rainfall. The season. Of
equinoctial disturbances has not yet
