raising and putting a sled underneath.
A good floor is the ground with
woven wire stretched on top to pre-
vent the hogs from roofing Electric
ally welded corncrib wire is very sat
isfactory. This makes floor which
is easy on the hogs. almost free from
rats. and. II properly bedded, warm
and dry. 1t is. however, more difficult
to keep free from dust than some 9th
er 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 COW
cred with plank overlays, or false
floors, which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side, as shown in
the illustration. The wood portion of
this floor consists of 2 by inch tim
bers 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 the
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 josts
before laying the floor, but these ma
terials 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 ~ inches above, SO that
young pigs can not crawl through, and
so sows in the adjoining pens can not
get hold of them and pull them
through. A SOW will often pull new
ly born pig through under a partition
and eat it, when, If the pig was in
the pen with her, it would be perfectly
safe. Above the first 10 or 70 inches
it 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 guardrails should be
| placed on the inside of the pen, from
to 10 inches from the floor, accord
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 SO inches high.
Six by feet is generally found to
be a very satisfactory size for pens,
but If feeding is to be done inside, the
pens will need to be longer in order F
to give room to feed and water with
out getting 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 it
might be good economy to make half
of the pens 5 feet wide. Five by 8
feet will accommodate a small SOW

CHAPTER XIx.-Continued.

The boy walked briskly back of the
scenes toward the little door, behind
which, as he tapped, he hoped with all
his heart to hear her voice bid him
come in. But there were other voices
in the room. He ratified the door knob
and Lefty Lane herself called to him
without opening the door:
"Will you go, please, Mr.. Blair?
can't see anyone tonight"
He had nothing to do but to go
Ntc grind his heel as he turned-to
Swear deeply against Poniotowsky.
His late ecstasy was turned to gall.
BThe theater seemed horrible to him:
fthe chattering of the chorus girls,
their giggles, their laughter as he
passed the little groups, all seemed
weird and Internal, and everything be-
came an object of irritation.
As he went blindly out of the the
alter he struck his arm against a piece
of stage fittings and the blow was
sharp and stinging, but he was glad of
the hurt.
Without, in the street, Dan took his
place with the other men and waited,
a bitter taste in his mouth and anger
in his breast, waited until Lefty Lane
futtered down, followed by Poniotow-
sky, and the two drove away.
The young man couF have gone
after, running behind the motor, but
their was a taxicab at hand; he
! jumped in it, ordering the man to
follow the car to the Savoy. There
the boy had the pleasure of seeing
Miss Lane enter the hotel, Poniotow-
sky with her-had the anguish of see
ing them both go up in the lift to her
apartments.
When Dan came to himself he heard
the chimes of St. Martins ring out
eleven. He then remembered for the
first -time that he had promised to
dine alone at home with the Duchess
of Breakwater
Gosh, Lily will be Wild"
In spite of the lateness of the hour
he hurried to Park lane. The familiar
face of the man servant who let him
in blurred before the young mans
eyes. Her grace was out at the the
alter? Blair would wait then, and he
