Taft and Sherman.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Analysis OF
the returns OF the recent presidential
election, discloses that one county Of
the United States apata county,

received a certificate Of W. D. DaVie,
secretary Of state Of Texas, declaring
that Zapata county cast its 42s votes
solidly for Taft and Sherman. The

Elevation of Hog House..

1t is only natural that the climate
and soil which will best favor the
production of any live stock are those
in which the same stock is found
wild, in his natural state. The hog is
found where vegetation is abundant
and luxuriant, where he can find shell
ter in winter and shade and plenty
OF water in the summer. writes J. r.
Bridgman, in Orange Judd Farmer
While he is heavy feeder and
thrives best where he can find luxur-
liant pastures, roots, etc, he is not
ranger and cannot endure a great
amount of travel at one time. AS
hogs are notably affected by extremes
of cold and heat, the character of
their shelter will have much 10 do
with their successful rearing. The
above being true, we will naturally
do best with hogs when we have ar
ranged their home and feeding
grounds, to a certain extent, at least,
such as he would choose for himself
in his wild state. Proper shelter is

The floor of the feeding room is
dropped eight inches and covered with
stock boards. The entire floor con-
sists of eight inches of cement. The
feed room is also used as a slaughter
house. A galvanized iron vent stack
is placed over the cooker to carry
away the steam, and a good brick flue
is built in the corner, as shown. The
house is sided with drop siding, and
lined on the inside with six-inch floor
ing. Each pen has a small window
and one door leading to the driveway,
also one leading to the yards. A slid
ing door, shown at b, closes the drive
way from the feed room. A good
tight floor is laid in the loft, and a
5XS-foot open door left for passing
down bedding and for a ventilator.
All hog men have their own ideas
of arranging the feed and water
troughs. However, a good plan is

WAGES PAID
FARM LABOR
Increased from $IO.43 IN 1870
to sly IN IoO6-May Tend
to Hold Men On
Farms.

Statistics gathered from the federal
governments reports show that the
average prices paid farm labor since
1879 have risen considerably. For the
year or season. the monthly money
rate paid farm labor for the different
census periods was $10.43 in 1879,
1929 in 1893. $12O2 in 1895, and in
creasing to Sl7 in 1906
George X Holmes, in Volume 80,
No 3 of the 1909 annals of the Amer-
can Academy of Social Science, speaks
of this wage as follows: THE express
sions of farm wages in money and
as a rate is very misleading and is
probably one of the most powerful
causes of the dissatisfaction of the
laborer and of his migration to higher
nominal money rates of wages in
town and city. The farm laborer re-
ceives some things besides money in
return for his labor. More or less in
local practice there are wage pay
ments which take the form of bonus
es. such as house rent, or the use of
garden plot. or pasturage for a COW,
or milk for the daily use of the fam
lily, or firewood, or feed for hog or
two, or the use of horse and wagon
for family pleasure on certain days.
Then there is the low cost of living in
the farm laborers favor as compared
with the cost which he would find in
the city, which makes his money
wages much larger in fact than the
rates Indicate This fact, however, has
no weight With the farm laborer and
is not perceived by him.
These failures to perceive and to
understand the full fact with regard
