CBy GEORGE w. BROWN, Ohio.)
 There is no theme upon the farm that will so benefit the farmer as to keep the quarters and surroundings of the farm in a sanitary and health fuI condition where swine are kept
 Nowhere will an outbreak of chol- era become so disastrous as upon the farm where these animals are kept with dirty, filthy surroundings, and no care taken in the disinfection of the nesting places and slop troughs during the summer time.
 Upon our farm we have never prac- ticed the method of keeping a herd of swine in one place very long. and never do we fatten out more than one bunch of animals in the same field in one year, preferring rather to shift our operations about from place to place.
 We have no permanent quarters, but rely upon the service of the cot. shown in the illustration.
 These hunks can be shifted about easily upon runners. and many times each year are changed from one field to another. or from one pen to an- other, thus we always have the ami mals in fresh sleeping quarters. and upon fresh forage. While the animals are located upon a new range. we break up the old range, cropping it in some profitable farm crop, thus get ting the benefit of all excrement from the animals, prof1ting in its enrich ment of the soil. and we as well freshenmg and sweetening the soil by cultivation.
 Then swine should be supplied with some shade aside from board shel- ter to ward off the heated rays of the summer sun. There is nothing for this purpose quite so nice as clumps of willows, catalpas or pop lars grown in some convenient loca- ton in each field, preferably along the fence row, in such manner that the animals may have access to the cool ing shade during the heat of the day.

PROPER PLACE
 FOR CHICKENS
Should Not be A flowed to Roost On Top of Harness or Buggy Should Have Good
 House.

One of the most important things in the care of laying hens is the house that they are to live in. On most farms it used to be that the hen roasted any old place, and her favor ite place was on top of the harness or buggy. And when they could not reach their favorite place, they took to the trees, but I can say that the hens life on the farm has changed. for now you see nice houses and yards for them, says a writer in the Successful Farming.
 A good poultry house may be de- fined as one that is dry. warm and ventilated, and fitted to accommodate the kind of fowls that is to be kept A stationary house suitable for any kind of fowl may be built of stone or brick, but the best house is built of lumber made in a size suitable for moving once year at least Lumber is cheaper than brick or stone, and when you find that there is some i'm provement that you could make to the advantage of the hen and coop, 1t will be a good deal cheaper remodeling the wooden building.
 It is impossible to build a house that will answer for all times of the year. You will find alterations to make in spring and fall. so when wood Is used in its construction 1t can be built in sections and bolted together. In warm weather you can use wire frames in place of the board sections Give the hens plenty of room, lots of clean straw to be used as scratching material, fight lice nine days week, and see If the hens don't pay their way

In one of our fields we have such a clump of quaking-asp and it is pleas ing to note how contented these anil mals are during the sweltering heat of the day, as they lie about in the shade of this rustling clump of trees
 If there is not such shade planted along the borders of a field we should not be slow in planting such If we were in the swine growing business, and every wide awake farmer should be, for indeed he should consider himself too poor to be without this profitable animal upon his premises.
 Many make a mistake in allowing their swine to run to the creek dur ing the summer for water. We have such a place upon our farm, and we might save much time in getting wa ter to our swine many times if we allowed them to go to this water course, but we are afraid of it. In- deed in this field we never allow our swine to roam. for we do not know what farmer several miles above us in another district might have chol- era or plague, and our animals ex- posed by contamination in the water flowing down stream.
 We rather prefer to keep our anil mals well away from this stream of water. and give them pure water from the well in disinfected troHghs. thus doing our part toward keeping down loss from cholera
 We keep down the objectionable and nauseating hog wallow upon our farm and do not tolerate it in the least We know the swine enjoy it, but we have learned to detest it's abominable company, and by chang ing the animals about, and locating new quarters frequently we keep this mire of mud and filth abandoned. With the advancement along other lines of farm operations, the ad vancement in this line of work ap- peals to us as very significant in keep ing these animals in a sanitary and healthful location at all times.

mentioned. He is a warm supporter OF

as one of the greatest secretaries of state

Only one of the party was seen after

Not Break Down.

Boston. May 20.-A desire that
his execution might come speedily was
apparently the dominating thought in
the mind of c. " T. Rfcheson as he
rose from his prison bed today. The
young Virginian, who shortly after
midnight tonight will pay the penalty
of his crime for the murder of Avis
Linnell, has become reconciled to his
fate and courageously faces the future.

warden" he said to General Bridges
late last night when that official paid
him brief visit. And he added:
do not worry, 1 shall not break
down."
Richeson bore up well through his
last Sunday on earth. He even was
cheerful, as he sang hymns with
Chaplain Herbert w. Stebbins until a
late hour last night, several times re-
peating his favorite selection, Some
time we'll understand"
Then he would read from the
Psalms and his expositions of the les
sons were described by the chaplain as
eloquent and learned.
Doesn't Want to Sleep.
1t was not until daylight this morn
ing that Richeson fell into a ftful
sleep. Realizing that his hours were
so few in number. the condemned man
openly declared that he did not want
to sleep. "I have so little time to
live and have so much to say that /

with death cell. His brother, Doug

the city today declared last night that
he would not go to the PRISON today
but would remain until after the exc
cution to see to the disposition of the
body.
Following the execution the medical
examiner of the county, DR.. G. B.
Magrath, will perform an autopsy in
accordance with the law. notwith-
standing the fact that the family sent
word they would not allow it. Rev.
Johnson, Richesons adviser, and his
counsel, William A Morse, probably
will accompany the body to Virginia
where it will be buried beside that of
the young mans mother at Amherst
Court House.
The disposition of Richeson's eff
fects have already been provided for
in consultations between the prisoner
and his counsel and through docu-
ments left with his counsel.
Rev. DIR. johnson arrived at the
prison just as Richeson awoke from
sound sleep.

death chamber Richeson said: 'T am
