In order to secure the highest mar

comes necessary to store them until
spring, when they will usually CON-
mand a much better price than in the
fall. Potatoes may be stored in cell
lars or pits ranging in cost and con-
v%enience from a mere pit in the
ground or rude cave in a hillside to
the elaborate cellars constructed Of
wood, stone, or concrete and often
containing elevators, sorters and 9TH

CURTAIN FRONT HEN HOUSES

cred With Muslin.

The best and nearest perfect sys-i
tenn Of ventilation which has yet been
devised is the curtain front poultry
house. In this house the windows
are left without glass, the openings
being covered with common muslin.
In. my own poultry. house the whole
front, is left open except two feet
next the ground and six inches next
the caves, the opening being covered
with wire netting with muslin curtain
behind this to let down at night. This
allows air to filter in at all times, yet
so slowly and in such thin currents
that no perceptible draughts are form
ed. In very cold weather a supple
mentary curtain of coarse burlap is
let down from the roof in front of the,
,perches SO as to shut the hens in al

Of which is the burlap curtain. NY

SELECTING TYPE TO BREED.
Much Depends on What Animal Isl
Wanted For, Whether for Produc-
Ing Lard or Bacon.

By W. B. RICHARDS, Professor of Ami
NAL Husbandry, North Dakota Agri-:
cultural College.) !:
Before the breed you are going to
raise can be decided upon it is neces-
sary to know what type you are going
to produce. If the lard type of hog is
to be bred, any of the following breeds
may be selected and found suitable for
this locality: Poland China, Berk~
shire, Chester White and Duroc Jer-
sey. There are several other lard
breeds including the Victoria, Suffolk,
Cheshire aud small Yorkshire, but
they are not raised to any extent in
any part of the northwest and their
merit would not justify farmers breed
ing them in preference to the breeds
first mentioned. There is not a great
deal Of difference in the merit of the
Poland China, Berkshire, Chester
White and Duroc Jersey breeds, for
they are quite uniform in type. The
success that the farmer has with any
breed will depend upon the skill
he exercises in handling them than up

characteristics Of the breeds. All the
best individuals of the lard breeds are
compact and thick aeshed, and mature
at an early age.
II one desires to produce bacon
hogs, the following breeds are best
adapted for that purpose: the Large
Yorkshire, the Tamworth, the Hamp-
shire, and the English or Canadian
Berkshire. These are we'll adapted
for bacon production because they con-
form to the type necessary in a hog,
whose carcass will furnish good bacon
cuts without a large per cent. Of the
other cuts. They have long, narrow
bodies and deep sides, with moderate
ly light hams and shoulders. On the
same kind of feed they will produce
a greater distribution of lean and fat
! throughout the carcass than the lard
breeds.
In selecting individuals Of any Of
these breeds the most important thing
10 be kept in mind is to see that they
4aonform to the type of the class to
which they belong. For example, a

formidable enemy to animal hus-
bandry.
Many a breeding farm can testify to
the cost Of having tuberculosis intro
duced into it's herd and many a breed
or has seen his prosperity diminish
or destroyed by this veritable scourge.
In addition to the losses produced
in the original herd of thoroughbred
cattle. there is a dissemination of the
disease into other herds by tho sale
of young breeding stock. The writer

North Dakota farmers introduced the
disease into their herds by buying

The plan of allowing the second

the crop from winter killing about one

Brush land or wood soil is ideal for
growing potatoes. This Is due to the
smellowness of the soil resulting from
the large amount Of humus it contains
and the usual freedom Of the soil
from weed seeds. Where new land is
not available much the same condition
can be had on q piece Of newly-plowed
