entirely for three or four years. Still
loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
It could do such damage.
What l needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.

but never thought it would fit my case
until one day / decided to quit coffee.

Useful Hog Houses.

Individual hog pens are much more
convenient thar large hog houses, as
hey can be kept in q sanitary cOndl~
ton more easily and may be moved
from one place to another with little
difficulty.
The plans here given are those OF
unusually clever houses and were de
vised by A. S. Riley, Who uses such
pens successfully on his farm. The
frame is made entirely OF 2x4s and is
6 feet wide and : feet long. The floor
iOiStS are spiked to the frame and then
the floor, preferably Of rough inch
pine boards OF good quality, is nailed
to the joists and the corner posts are
tOenailed to the floor.
The corner posts are , leet s inches
= "night and are Joined together by
plates. To those are attached the
IS, which are 3 feet 10 inches in
length, and give the pitch Indicated
in the drawing herewith.
Use q good grade Of matched floor
ing for sheetjng the entire building
and on one side of the roof have two
doors. each , feet in width, for the
purpose Of admitting plenty OF sun
light.
These doors should be III the south
side OF the house when it is facing the
cas- The ROOT boards should project
oyer the frame about two inches.

STARVED EWES, NO TWINS.
experiments Show That POor Feeding
Always Means Slow Growth OF the
Flock.
(By Richard Harding. IOWa.3

Ordinary or less than ordinary a
iand is often more probably locked
with mixed animals. 4 sheep bites the
sweet young grass so close that no
other animal can get any. but the
sheep leaves the long, coarse grass Of
other parts for the healthy and hun
cry cow, whose complicated digestive
apparatus can deal with any coarse
foods, hence the most parsimOniOus
stock dealer has some difficulty to
starVe a COW or to damage her by
scarcity Of food or meagerness of diet.
Perhaps a sheep suffers most. the
fattening flock going back rapidly in
time of drought or any other insult
able weather, and the breeding focks
suffering from abortion ana other ills
when hardship or scarcity Of GOD is
their unhappy portion.
During q month of bad time the
wool grows veal and the buyer gives
less for the f~leeceS. because the weak
link in the chain is the true test Of
it's strength.
The COW is the only farm animal
that produces q profitable twin. and
perhaps in show sheep or fashionable
sheep rams the breeder would prefer
only one lamb.
In all classes Of horses il is q decid-
ed disadvantage to have a twin, as
they are generally dwarfs, but there
is no disadvantage in small sheep. as
small joints are now in great eques
and the quaint old saying When YOU
nave done Weighing you have done
selling does not now hold good.
The two influences. which result in
many twins and triplets are the breed
of sheep and their condition In the
autumn when visited by the ram.

ton nature, still demands an effort for
