FEEDING sllaqe Outdoors.

Professor Cochel gave the history
of four lots of cattle fed at the Penn
sylvania State college this year. One
lot fed with a two-thirds ration OF
corn and one with a fun ration OF
corn gave practically the same re
suits. showing that with less grain
and more roughage practically the
same gains can be made and steers
made for Pennsylvania trade. He also
showed that steers fed silage out
doors as compared with steers fed
silage In a barn made better and
cheaper gains. The impression has
prevailed heretofore that the feeding
OF siiage requires warm barns. This
experiment made in a winter which
was unusually severe, shows that
nothing more than an open shed and
a dry bed Is necessary In the way OF
shelter.

QUAINT OLDCUSTOM
BUILDERS GOSSIP ABOUT ORIGIN
OF THE ROOF TREE.
Several Opinions Are Given and the
Reader Is Left al Liberty TO Be-
Ileve Any or All Of
Them.

On the highest point OF a New YORK
skyscraper. the framework OF which
had just been finished, a small Amer
lean nag was hanging, a tiny speck OF
color against the sky. Many OF those
who passed the new structure saw the
nag. but perhaps none of them knew
just what II signifed Its meaning Is
that the building has been topped
on" or that the highest point has
been reached. and the flag is a little
reminder to the boss that II Is time to
treat. The general rule Is to hang a
small branch OF evergreen in winter
from the apex OF the roof, when the
roof tree has been put up, but In the
building OF modern skyscrapers in the
heart OF city like New York q
branch Is luxury. and the getting
OF one might lead to all sorts OF
trouble with the police and park au

that the work IVES finished"
Another prominent builder thinks
the custom comes from the time wher
matched houses were built and the
roof tree was actually tree from the
surrounding forest When that was
put on II meant that the highest part
OF the building had been reached anC
that the frame was all up. But with
this idea not all contractors are
agreed. as the next opinion given will
show.
1T Is a Dutch custom. and only
about 30 years old" says another
builder. IF the contractor Is liberia
he treats the men. There was a Tins

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF SWINE
Two Systems Now Commonly Used
for Housing Pigs, Both Having
Their Own Advantages.

There are two systems now com
monty used for housing swine. the
central house system and the separ-
ate houses. Both have their advan-
tages and many farmers will do well
to use both to a certain extent. The
important factor In pig pens Is to keep
the swine dry and free from drafts.
Damp beds and sleeping pens cause
trouble.
Cement floors are preferable for a
hog house, but sleeping pens should al
ways be overlaid with board floors
As rule hogs should be fed outside
on a feeding floor Inside feeding Is
