Feeding Floor.

Ing to the size of the SOW, and should
stand out or inches to prevent the
SOW from MASKING the pigs against the
wall.
1t will be found convenient to have
the alley gates removable by lifting
out. 1t is sometimes helpful, also,
to have part or all of the partition
fences removable All partitions should
be 80 to 36 inches high
Six by feet is generally found to be
q very satisfactory size for pens, but If
feeding is to be done inside, the pens
will need to be longer in order to give
room to feed and water without get
ting the bed befouled. Very large
sows, such as are sometimes kept by
breeders, may need more room, but
the producer of pork will not need
a larger pen. Small sows do not need
this much room, and 1t might be good
economy to make half of the pens s
feet wide. Five by feet will accom-
modate a small SOW very well.
How doors should be % to 23 inches
wide and 30 to 81 inches high In the
clear. In cold weather a piece of
burlap or ducking hung at the top Of
the hog door, with a stick a little
shorter than the width of the door
nailed across the bottom to prevent
the wind from blowing 1t back, will
help materially to keep the pigs warm.
The pigs will soon learn to lift the cur
tain when they want to go through.
The board doors in cots would not
then need to be closed except In very
bad weather, or while the pigs are
very small.
In most cases either ventilation is
lacking or the house is drafty. In a
well-ventilated, double-walled build
ing, little moisture will gather on the
walls even in very cold weather, while
In a poorly ventilated one thick coats
of frost will often gather, and the
whole house will be damp when the
frost melts. 1t is not easy to secure a
good supply Of fresh air and prevent
all drafts from striking the pigs.
There are, however, several quite sat

TRIMMINGS THAT HAVE FAVOR
Laces Of Every Kind and Description
Are Among the First In Popu-
lar Esteem.

Among the favorite trimmings are
laces of all kinds, among which are
Venise, italian, filet and Milan laces,
Gold and silver laces are also used on
some of the more elaborate gowns,
Hand embroidery is much seen. A
number of beaded trimmings are
shown, and there seems to be ten
dency to favor large beads somewhat
on the order Of Indian beads, which
are noted on several of the Paquin
models.
Braids of all kinds are used on tail
or made suits and dresses, in various
widths, in plain and fancy designs.
Fringe, tassels and braid ornaments
are also among the trimmings and
arouse much attention. Silk fagoting
is used to great extent on many OF
the best models. There is also quite
liberal use made of velvet ribbon,
which was employed largely for
sashes, in both black and colors.

The hog house floor is an unsettled
question. A good floor Is the ground
with woven wire stretched on top to
prevent the hogs from roofing. Elec-
trically welded corncrib wire Is very
satisfactory. This makes floor which
is easy on the hogs, almost free from
rats, and, If properly bedded, warm
and dry. 1t is, however, more difficult
to keep free from dust than some
other floors. Many concrete floors are
used, but they are cold, liable to be
wet, and are hard on the hogs feet.
Often almost an entire pig crop and
many sows are lost by taking cold on
concrete floors. Concrete floors are,
however, very satisfactory when Gov
cred with plank overlays, or false
floors, which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side. The wood
portion of this floor consists of by 4
inch timbers laid about one-fourth
inch apart to allow drainage.
Board floors are expensive, short
lived, cold If up off the ground, and
make the worst kind of, rat harbors.
The writer once visited an old hog
house with wood floor in which Sthe
owner said the rats had gotten over
half the pigs. Several men report
that rats may be kept out by packing
sand or cinders to the top of the joists
before laying the floor, but these
materials are often too expensive to
be used for this purpose
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them
perfectly tight at the floor and for
about 10 to IL inches above, so that
young pigs cannot crawl through, and
so sows in the adjoining pens cannot
get hold of them and pull them
through. A SOW will often pull newly
born pig through under partition
and eat 1t, when, If the pig was in
the pen with her, It would be perfectly
SAFE Above the first 10 or IL inches
1t Is better to have the partitions open
enough so the hogs can see out, other
wise at every sound the sows will be
up on the partitions to see what is
going on.
Pig rails or guard rails should be
placed on the inside of the pen, from
6 to 10 inches from the floor. accord

MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.

Professor F. e. Clements, the state
botanist of Minnesota, has attracted
attention by his estimate in a recent
bulletin that the annual waste of
mushrooms in the United States
equals in value the entire agricultural
product of the country, says the Man.
chester Union. 1t is easy for an en-
thusiast in any line of thought or en-
deavor to lose the sense Of just pro.
portion, and 1t may perhaps be taken
for granted that Professor Clements
has permitted himself to be carried
away by the contemplation Of the
waste Of a natural food product which
is more or less abundant everywhere
and which has an unquestioned food
value. Beginning with early summer
and continuing until late fall. the pro-
duction Of mushrooms in woods, pas
lures and waste places Is something
enormous, and large proportion OF
them are not only edible, but nour
fishing. In so far as they are not
made use of-and small proportion
OF them is ever gathered-they Of
course, represent loss Of possible
food supply, but some account must
be taken Of the cost of collecting and
distributing them to consumers, as
well as Of the danger from some spe-
cies which are harmful and of at
least two which may be classed as
deadly. These are easily distinguish.
ed, to be sure. by any one who has
made a study of the mushroom tribe,
but until Americans, as a rule, are
much more familiar with the subject
than at present. great proportion OF
the edible varieties will continue to go
10 waste.

An appeal for American-made rub
Der tires is made by the United States
consuls in Germany, who say that a
rich market is being overlooked by tho
people at home. These advance agents
Of trade point out that in some of the
cities on the high road Of tourist
travel there are for sale but two
makes Of automobile tires, and those
Of French and German brands. The
use of the bicycle as means Of trans
portation ia reported on the increase,

ploitation, many Of the smaller cities

advantage of rubber tires as a part Of

Basing calculations on the estimate
that the number of American tourists
IN Europe in a season Is 100000 and
that the average individual expendi.
ture by these tourists Is $3.50, some
one has easily figured that about $685..
100000 Of American money is spent
abroad in the course Of season; and
this does not include the cost Of steam.
ship tickets. Bankers who handle the
letters Of credit for wealthy Ameri-
can tourists are quoted to the effect
that $4,000 Is a fair average for the
value Of these letters, says the Man.
chester Union. Among tourists of the
wealthy class, says the report, It is
common to place from $4,000 to $75,.
900 In the hands Of the bankers, and,
as rule, fully two-thirds of the
amount is drawn. Possibly the major
premise Of this main proposition has
been overdrawn; possibly the minor
premise; possibly both-and possibly
neither. In any event, 1t must be ad-
mitted that $225, 100000 Is tremen.

TAKING PLACE OF FEATHERS
Algrettes of Wheat Just Now Are the
"ReaI Thing" for a Variety
of Reasons.
JULIA BoTToMLEY.

No one seems to be able to ex
plain why fashion is leaving the enor
nous aigrettes of white and black,
which have been with us so long, un.
less 1t is laggard desire to be hui.
manitarian. The restriction thrown
around birds by the laws Of the states,
and the difficulty and cost of getting
aigrettes, has given many milliners
good reason not to carry them in
stock. The expense of buying one Is
the best reason for their unpopular
ity.
The milliners, liking the effects Of
the aigrette, have determined to use
many other materials to take its place,
therefore the new hats are trimmed
with silken wheat in the form of an
dgrette. Some Of 1t is in the natural
color and a great deal of 1t is dyed
to match the hats or frocks.
One sees much blue and green and
purple. The green is the most popu-
lar for summer use, as 1t Is re-
freshingly cool.

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is, with some forms of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo-, to ex-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
81 have taught school for fifteen
years. and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however, my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily,
in spite of doctors prescriptions, and
everything could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good, only
the more ate the more wanted to
eat-I was always hungry.
1.-THE first symptoms of my break
down were distressing nervousness
and a loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles, which were very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches.
The doctors seemed powerless to
help me, said was overworked, and
at last urged me to give up teach
ing, if wished to save my life.
But this could not do. kept on
at it as well as l could, each day grow
ing more wretched, my willpower
alone keeping me up, till at last
good angel suggested that try diet
of Grape-Nuts food, and from that
day to this l have found 1t delicious
always appetizing and satisfying.
81 owe my restoration to health to
Grape-Nuts. My weight has returned
and for more than two years have
been free from the nervousness, con-
stipation, piles, headaches, and all the
ailments that used to punish me so,
and have been able to work freely and
easily" Name given by Postum Co.,

cost me $54 but good mill can be
purchased for $27.50 and up.
Counting the three months that

three hours work per day at 10 cents
