EARLY SPRING PIGS.
Sows Farrowing In Winter Should
Have Warm Quarters.

Have Warm Quarters.
If young pigs do not come in Octo-
Der and November we do not seriously
object if they put in their appearance
at about any other time Of the year,
provided we know when to expect
them and there are not too many to
arrive in winter. We have brought
them through. except when born in
the months mentioned, and have tried
it then, but it is too long before spring
comes, writes an Ohio farmer in the
National Stockman. l understand it
is very good advice to have the pigs
all come about the same time-say in
March or April-and have them grow
up together. But not many men sue
ceed in having 100 pigs come about the
same time in March, and in so large
number several will not thrive equally
we'll with the rest, SO that the herd
should be divided anyhow. Also in
keeping a large number of sows it is
not best to let all run together. Again,
separation is desirable.
We put the sows in box or closed
stalls in the lower story Of the barn
where the windows may be opened
to the sun on the south side. These
are good, warm places, as we would
say, in winter. There is quite an
amount of heat from the horses. No
drafts get in. The sows are easily
watched during most Of the day, and
if the weather is extremely cold when
due to farrow we take pains to see
how matters go at a time or two dur
ing the night. If pigs are chilled they
are taken to the house to be revived.
AS l recall, the experiences in mid
winter with litters have not been more
trying than they have been in cold
weather in March. The pigs should
be ready to wean when grass comes.
and their mothers will be ready for
another litter good while before fall.
1t should be noted that rearing pigs In
winter is more trying on the constitu-
ton of the SOW than in spring or SAM

HANDY LIFTING JACK.

Easily Made Farm Device For Weigh

Herewith is given an Illustration Of
a device for weighing cotton, beef,
hogs and any other heavy article that

a man who finds it very handy on the

about as much as five men without it

KRESS STORE
Ready for Business To-day, October
sell

Tie annOurvelnIr that the KreIs
store will be ready for business today
emphasizes in no uncertain terms the
growth of Americas as retailing CEN
ter. S. H. Kress & Company have
spared no expense in the effort to fit
lup the finest 5, 10 and 25 cent store in
the country, and it can be truthfulIy
said that there is no city, no matter
how large, that has a store better
equipped than the new store of Kress
& Company.
The writer was invited to take a
peek behind the scenes, and was very
much impressed with the careful de-
tail shown in the working out of ali
plans, and especially the completeness
of the layout
The general plan of the store shows
a division into departments covering
candy, notions, dry goods, drug goods,
hair goods, hardware, tinware, enam-
.elware, crockery, china, jewelry, mus
sic and special departments for other
lines.
The candy department, however, APP
pealed most to the writer. Mr.. C. H.
Mcconnell, who is directing the ope
ming, informed us that the equipment
is entirely new, and is being installed
for the first time in the Americas store.
The new candy equipment, we were
told, is a result of fourteen years OF
careful, painstaking effort to produce
a sanitary candy department that
would combine attractiveness with
ease of handling. The Kress organiza-
ton has certainly succeeded in making
this department the most attractive we
have ever seen.
The plan of candy selling is entire
| ly by the package method. The dis
plays are shown in especially coa-
structed display cabinets, paneled on
the inside with special mirrors, hav-
ing a plate glass front These cabin
cts run the full length of the candy
department and are lighted from T
ceiling by row of magnificent drop
electric lights, held in position with
heavy chains. The effect is at once
startling and satisfying, for instantly
you are made aware that the Kress
candy never touches the fingers, and
lis packed fresh daily for the discrim-
Einating buyer.
The framework of the candy depart

ment behind the counter is attractive,
ly fitted up with a cabinet having a
mirror background and glass shelves.
The lower part of the counter is ar
ranged for reserve stock and has rum
ming water and every facility for rap
i'd handling of big business. The re-
serve stock is kept on the second floor,
connected with a rapid-running dumb
waiter so that no matter how busy the
department, the. stock can be replen-
ished on a minutes notice.
The jewelry cases. of which there
are two, have been built according to
Kress' ideas of detail and perfection
in constructio mas well as being so ar
ranged as to make them easy to deco
rate. They are fitted with special 81
ectric lights-the general effect is most
stunning.
The rest is especially designed for
the comfort and convenience Of shop
pers who find it desirable to larry for
a while, rest between shopping pc
RODS, or meet their friends
Special arrangements have been made
for an informal opening and concert
Friday afternoon between 3 and 80,
and evening between 1880 and 8 There
will be no goods sold between these
hours This opening and concert is for
the purpose of giving tn people Of
Americas an opportunity OF seeing the
store leisrely, the strains OF music
adding much to the holiday feeling
which will pervade the occasion
No goods will be sold until Satur-
day morning.
