Ventilation arrangements must not

A WINTER HOME FOR THE PIGS.
Every perfectly satisfactory pig
gerry for winter use must be well
lighted from the south, east and west
If from all three directions, so mucn
the better Direct sunlight, rather
than diffused light. is what is required
to insure health and aid in santa
ton, says the New York Tribune
Farmer, Warmth is another import
ant feature OF the satisfactory pig
gerry. Walls such as described be-
low will, other conditions being favor
able, prove sufficiently nOncOnductive.
Warmth must never be secured at
the expense of pure air. If 1t Is i'm
possible to ventilate properly and
maintain a sufficiently high tempera-
ture with the natural heat of AMI
mails 1t might be fOnud advanta-
geous to use artificial heat. In any
case, pure air is more to be sought
than a high temperature in winter
quarters.
Freedom from moisture on the
walls and ceiling is another import
ant requirement. This may be in
sured by proper construction of walls
and ceiling and by perfect venuIa-
ton The walls and ceiling should
be built with q dead air space This
space should have building paper on
both sides Of it: that is, a wall. start
ing from the outside, should consist
of matched inch lumber, tar paper,
studding. tar paper, matched inch
lumber A similar construction should
be called for in the ceiling. Another
factor affecting the freedom OF a pig
gerry from moisture is the materIai
used in construction of walls anG
floor Wood, although not very dur
able, is quite likely the best suited
for the walls Cement blocks. or
hollow cement walls, are likewise
said to be very satisfactory. =. cod
en- floors are a constant source OF
annoyance on account of the quick
ness with which they wear out ana
the practical impossibility of keep

said to be too damp, but a cement

prove satisfactory

Many and various are the styles OF
wall and roof that are advocated.
The roof plan lighting and ventua-
ton are so closely related that they
should be considered at one and the
same time. The common half pitch
roof, with the windows placed as
high as the caves will allow on both
sides and as low as safe from the
pigs, is good. Such a building should
run north and south. A roof that
has met considerable favor in many
parts of America is the double shed
roof. The two parts of the root
should have the same pitch and be
Of the same length. The wall on one
side should be three or four feet
higher than that on the other side,
so that there may be a drop of three
or four feet between the higher and
lower parts of the roof at the center
Of the building. Such a building
should be built to have the upper
window face the south.

hey have grit to assimiIate their
food.
Fowls must have green food in
some form or other for egg produc-
ton during the winter months. In
cooked or scalded clover hay or al
falfa we have good substitutes, ana
it is wise to mix either one with the
morning mash; but, if at all possible,
some real green stuff should also
be given each day.
Sprouted oats are fed by many
poultrymen, and to good effect.
1t is a noteworthy fact that fowls
prefer green food in the morning.
1t is a relish to them. 1t seems to
brace them up, and they are more
eager for it.

Huge Scarfs PoDular

The long coat and the long cloak have
kept securely in favor. The popularity
of the loose, untitled cape cloak, almost
huge scarf in fact, has been a bit in
consistent when worn with the closely
fitted princess gowns, but there is no
question of the popularity of the scarf in
every size and material In heavy satin
or Satin-faced cloth, edged on all four

year when fashions receive least attcn-
lion, yet it is the turning point, we might
say, Of the fashion year February

making are already being prepared

world, where fur models are fitted and
perfected in July and dimities and or
CANDIES grow into gowns with equal
indifference to snow and ice Lighter
fabrics will require appropriate treat
ment and TUNES and -draperies, real
and simulated, may be expected Prin-
cess lines have held in favor so bravely
that we must believe they will continue
into the spring, even though modified in
form From the princess vogue has de
veloped a revival of the Jersey waist of
twenty-five years ago These are de
velOped in Jersey cloth, that may now
be bought by the yard or in any dress
fabric. Another adaptation of the jersey
