CONCRETE FLOORS FOR HOGS
Have Been Found to Be Very Service able, Convenient and Economical
 Cement Is Only Cost.

The loss in feeding on the bare ground, especially in bad weather. has been a serious drawback in hog rais- ing. Wood floors are expensive and too short lived to become general. Concrete floors are found to be very serviceable, convenient and sa ing, writes J. H. Haynes in the Farm and Home We have been feeding on floors open to the weather. but in the future such floors shall be under cover.
 A floor 40 feet long and 30 feet wide will afford room to feed 75 to 100 head of hogs. The roof to cover this floor will not cost over $2OO. including the row of cribs along each side for feed.
 In building the floor we excavate a pit 9 feet deep and fill this with cob blestone even with the surface. On this we put a layer of coarse gravel l foot deep and after packing well. the concrete is laid. making a solid floor feet deep-which will last lifetime We do the work ourselves. The cement is the only cost. The rock and gravel are on the farm.
 We raise the lower side of the roof feet from the floor and erect gran aries the full length of the floor and feet above the concrete These ex- tend back or ' feet.
 It is easy to remove the cobs and water from the hogs and in inclem- ent weather the hogs have a refuge. The saving in feed for one year will pay the expense of building.

For Separator Users.

Professor T. A. Haecker gives the following suggestions for the users of cream separators:
 1. Locate the separator on solid foundation in a place free from dust
 2. For the best results separate the milk as soon after milking as pos sible.
 8. Cool the cream after it has been separated and feed the milk while 1t Is warm.
 4. Never put warm cream into old cream until the new has been cooled and stirred
 5. Cold milk will not separate as completely as warm milk

cost g farmer from $2O to $40 per ton when purchased from the com merciaI fertilizer agents
 It seems to be a pet fancy with many farmers that commercial fertil- izer will make quicker growth when used to fertilize young plants than ordinary barnyard manure on account of being more available for the young plants to feed upon.
 The above claim may be right to a certain extent if the best quality of plot and barnyard manure on another.
 But when we speak or write of the ordinary barnyard manure we must consider the fact that it is not as val uable as when fresh from the stable and contains the full amount of plant food, both liquids and solids, that 1t contained at the time it was made.
 Thus, many make the mistake of losing the most valuable fertilizing elements from their manure and then claiming it inferior to the commercial fertilizers for promoting a rapid growth of the young plants.
 We do not think that better results can be made by using commercial fer tilizers for a number of years than can be made by using stable, not barn. yard. manure, when care has been ex- ercised in saving and preserving all of the fertilizing elements that 1t origin ally contained.
 Whenever I see or hear the term barnyard manure used 1t calls to my mind a certain class of farmers who allow their manure to remain under the stable caves all winter to ferment and wash away and who the next spring pay commercial fertilizer agents a whole hatfu1 of money for the very clements that he has allowed to wash away and then says that the feeding of livestock and dairying does not pay.

The farmer who wishes to see his houses always in good. thriving con dition. and consequently in shape to perform their labors in the best pos sible manner, will never feed any damaged grain or moldy hay. To use either means rapid lapse Into poor condition certainly, and the serious ailments which follow digestive trou- bles, probably.

on the character of reproduction. Trees with heavy seeds, live oaks, hickories, and chestnuts, can SOW them only in their own neighborhood, except when they stand on steep hill- sides or on the banks of streams, or when birds and squirrels carry the nuts and acorns to a distance. Trees with light, winged seeds like the pop lars, birches. and pines, have a great advantage over the others, because they can drop their seeds long way of. The wind is the means by which this is brought about, and the adap- tation of the seeds themselves Is often very curious and interesting.

STORES CL0EE
FOR THE GAME
Biaaest Crowd Expected That Ever
Witnessed Game on Kyle
Athletic Field.

The Eagle published the list Of mer.
chants, business and profes sional
men yesterday afternoon who had
signed the agreement to close their
places of business on Friday after.
noon for the big football game. It was
a long list and included almost every
business house in the city. In fact, 1t
was so near all of them that it can be
said the movement was endorsed unan-
imously.
When the hour of three arrives to-
morrow afternoon the doors will slam
and there will not be enough houses
left open to make n corporars guard.
Then will follow the rush for Kyle
Field to see the game. 1t is safe to
say the biggest crowd will go out from
Bryan that ever witnessed a game on
Kyle Field and every vehicle, automo
bile and interurban car available will
be taxed to the utmost to handle the
crowds.
In addition to the crowd from Bryan
fully one thousand will come by the
special train from Houston and inter
mediate points.
The game will be between A. & NJ
and the University of Mississippi, two
of the strongest teams in the South
Game called promptly at $3.50.

PLAGUE BEYOND CONTROL
NOW IN MANcHURIA.

MUKDEN, Manchuria, January 18.
-Bubonic plague continues to make
terrible ravages among the residents
of this city and the surrounding dis
trict. The pest has got beyond con-
troll of the local health authorities and
the ignorance of the populace is MAX
ing the situation impossible to han
die with the means at hand. Already
the number of known deaths here
from plague amounts to one thousand
seven hundred and fifty-two, with
hundreds of new cases appearing dali
ly and the disease spreading rapidly
throughout the country districts. The
people are terror stricken and are
fleeing in every direction to escape
the contagion, by which means they
are carrying the plague germs into
regions heretofore free. No attention
is paid to quarantine restrictions, nor
can the elementary rules regarding
sanitation be enforced.
Legation Endangered.
PEKING, China, January 1S.-All
the legations here, the inmates fear
ing that they might become involved
in the spread of the hubonic plague
are preparing to sever communication
with all the plague infested spots
Provisions are being hastily secured
and stored, as though for a siege, and
preparations are under way to close
the legation gates and sever commun-
ication with the outside if such be
necessary.
