In ali divisions Of the trade again today,
packers favoring weight even at liberal
premiums and avoiding high mixed and
light stuff. Early business consisted
largely OF lard hog sales that usually
averaged strong in comparison with yes
terday's prices. Following creditable
clearance OF heavies. a lull developed,
and something ike IS per cent Of the re-
ceipts had to move on late market that
ruled dull and weak.
The demand during the first rounds had
plenty Of life, but receipts seemed TO
Be a trifle In excess of the weekend KILL

tile leading buyers retired after their
drpyes had attained fair size. supply
was estimated at f2oQ head. making
five days total Of almost 1000 head, and
weighty grades were plentiful.
Shippers and spectators furnished
good outlet for anything that might be
turned to advantage. buying fully 10 per
cent Of the total. A healthy provision

Of speculative buying. but outside oper-

HOUSING SWINE.

In the class in Swine Production"
at the Washington State College the
Question of hog houses recently came
up. These are the conclusions:
Hog houses need not be elaborate or
expensive, but they must be good for
the purpose. A good house:
l Is dry and clean inside.
2 Is well ventilated.
3 Admits plenty of light.
Is free from drafts.
5 Is comfortably warm for the
hogs.
Such a shelter will avoid trouble
from colds, rheumatism and pneu-
monia. 1t will not be the breeding
place for disease germs. If your hog
shelters are not satisfactory, see how
we'll and how cheaply you can make
them fit these conditions.
In our damp weather, dryness is
absolutely essential. Don't give too
much bedding and change it frequent
ly by cleaning everything out of the
sleeping pens. Scatter air-slaked lime
about at frequent intervals. Use a
coal tar dip or crude carbolic acid So
luton and spray the pens every few
weeks.
Keep lice off the hogs. Do you like
to go into your hog house? Why not ?
Fix 1t so it suits you and see what the
pigs say.
