PORTABLE HOG PEN IS HANDY
Those That Will Accomm odate Sew
eral Animals Desirable.

A portable hog pen that will accom-
modate several medium sized hogs or
four shoats is in common use by the
small faEmers and truckers of the New
England States. These pens are found
convenient, sanitary and far superior
to the stationary pen, which is more
or less nuisance in thickly settled
sections The portable pens are grad
ually coming into use in the trucking
sections of New Jersey, as their many
excellent points become better known
They are just the thing for the one
acre man. The following method of
building a cheap, convenient hog pen
that is portable is given by a New
England farm paper:
Take two pieces of hard timber,
white oak is best, 3 by 9 inches each.
IS feet in length, rounded off at the
end in the form of sled runner. them
lay them parallel eight feet apart, with
four 2 by 4 scantlings and halve or
tcnon in crosswise, one piece at each
end and eight inches from the ends
of the runners and place the others so
as to support floor in one-half of the
pen Adjust these strips SO they will
set about two inches below the level
of the upper edge of the runners. then
lay floor of onc-inch oak planks over
one-half of the pen, leaving the other
half dirt floor. Some have the outer
yard slotted. which will allow the hogs
to Craze off the grass, but will prevent
the sod from being rotted up. The
sides of the pen should be Slated
Now mortise in by scantling at
each corner and midway for posts on
which to nail half-inch boards for the
enclosing One-half of the pen should
be covered and for this reason make
the posts for the siding about one
foot longer on one side than on the
other. so as to give sufficient slope
to the roof. The roof should be high
enough to allow man to walk into
the pen If only one-half of the pen
is hoored there must be a partition
across, and in this arrange a slide
door so as to shut the shoats in or out
of either section The roof of covering

covered with tar paper, then give two
coats of hot lime wash as preserva-

Western stockholders who have

SUCCESS IN DRY SECTION.
Do Not Place Yourself in Position
Without Sufficient Capital.

| have driven very widely over the
arid plain during the past year. My
early experience in new country
places me always in sympathy with
those who go into new lands with
the thought of establishing home.
There are some things which must be
observed by those who succeed i'll
what is called the dry sections, writes
o. c. Gregg in the Deseret Farmer.
First, do not invest all of your cap
ital in land and then incur debt for
adjoining lands and so leave yourself
without sufficient amount of ready
money to aid in doing the things
which must be done in order to make
that land sustain expenses and family
living. Second, do not delay to open up
reasonable amount OF this land
which you have acquired SO as to OBJ
tain from it as soon as possible meas
ure of crop that will help if it does not
fully sustain the expense of the fam
lily for the first year or so.
Third, one of the greatest aids for
the sustaining of the home will be
found in the reasonable amount OF
stock which should be obtained very
soon and to help pay the running ex
penses. Let this stock comprise few
good cows Do not forget the poultry
and add to these two classes of stock!
one or more good brood sows Fourth.
without mourning too much expense
proper shelter can be made for this
stock. There will need be little
fencing. This is more readily obtained
today than in the early days because
woven wire is now comparatively easily
obainable.
Fifth, make every effort that is need
ful to keep the stock well. The rev.
cnue from them will enable one to live
upon the land without mourning debts
which may seriously handicap further
efforts Sixth, use what implements
are necessary to do the work upon the
land which is open Do not. however,
open more land than you can proper
ly cultivate Seventh. let the incrcaS-
ed acreage be made gradually 1t is
better to thoroughly cultivate a small
number of acres rather than to have
much land that cannot be fully TILED
and that will probably call upon the
settler to furnish expensive implc-
ments which will in turn make trou
blesome debts Eighth. begin quite
early to plant about the buildings the
beginning of shelter belts. The trees
should be so set as to aid the comfort
of the home and make one of the best
conditions for the continued effort to
make the new piece of land to be a
home in every way.

POULTRY NOTES.

The, wire nest has much to com
mend it.
A neglected hen will lay in summer
but never in winter.
Gapes can be cured by fumigating
the chickens with sulphur
The first thing after setting up an
incubator is to select place for it.
The mighty mite is more quiet these
cold winter days. but he isn't dead.
Pigeons take care of the feeding of
squads and that saves lot of bother.
Scraps saved at butchering time
make fine egg stimulating feed in
cold weather.
Hens that are let out into the cold
and snow are soon chilled out of the
egg laying notion.
A dozen eggs will buy almost a
bushel of oats. And oats make, a good
winter feed for eggs,
If the house is damp scatter some
dry ashes and air slaked lime about.
They are good absorbents.
For quick fattening. nothing beats
a mash of corn meal and milk, fed
warm about three times a day.
Running an incubator is job for a
grown person. Better not let the
children have anything to do with it.
/ 1t is a good plan to make the nest
bottoms of poultry wire. That makes
them easy to clean and a poor harbor
for mites and lice
Ducks kept up in winter will be
found to thrive better if their corn is
soaked in warm water instead of feed
ing it hard and dry.
A light case of roup may often be
cured by ducking the sick birds head
in mixture of one ounce permanga
nate of potash to three pints of water.
Every farmer keeps chickens and il
they would give their poultry the same
care their other stock gets they might
all have winter eggs.

Clover for Egg Production.

Clover is as much an egg producer
as it is a producer of milk. 1t is rich
in nitrogen and mineral matter. Hav-
ing high nutritive ration. it is equal
to barley. and almost as high as
wheat It's action is to extend the food
ration. reduce the too concentrated
|grain food, and prevent the accumu-
lation ofeinternal fat The second crop:
or proven" clover is the best. Glover
should be cut when in full blossom
Let it grow until the first blossoms
begin to turn brown.

Timely Orchard and Garden Notes.

Celery should never be left in the
field when there is danger of hard

or leaves from severe cold will impair
the keeping quality of the plants. The
safer plan is to have the rows we'll

A good way to secure early rhubarb
is to take it up in the fall and put it i'll

IMPROVING FARM POULTRY.
Introduction of Better Male Birds is
What is Needed.

On many farms we find Hooks ot
non producing fowls that could be
greatly improved by the addition Of
new blood; and the betterment could
be accomplished at very little cost
A great many farmers would not
consider it good policy on their part
to dispose of the entire flock OF fowls
and purchase thoroughbred ones. The
cost of such move might be con-
siderable, and owing to the fact that
the same attention on farm than an
exclusive poultry raiser gives, the re
suits obtained might not be as good.
The average flock of farm poultry IS
as remarkable for its hardness as its
non productiveness. Now if a few
strong blooded males of some good
laying breed be added to the flock each
season for few years, better results
might be obtained The mixing of the
good-laying blood with the hardy
blood ought to result in decided i'm
provement in the stock.
The flock Of farm poultry usually
consists of conglomeration of many
varieties, and in selecting new males.
those of the predominating variety or
the ones that are the best layers
should be chosen In most instances
it would be best to introduce males
of the Leghorn classes to secure an in
crease in the egg production.
Sometimes it may be desirable to Sc
cure an increase in the weight of the
fowls and this can be done by intro
ducing males of one of the larger vari
cites. Rhode Island Reds might be
recommended as a good variety to in
troduce for the purpose of increasing
both the egg yield and the size of the
fowls.
By this plan of introducing new
blood year after year and by dispos-
ing of those hens that do not seem to
be giving good results. and keeping
none but the very best for breeding, it
would be possible to build up a flock
that to all purposes would be prac-
tically as good as pure bred, There
certainly could be no deterioration in
laying qualities, and the fowls would
gradually take on the markings of the
pure-bred.
If possible to do so, it would be best
for the farmers if they would dispose
of all their mongrel fowls and make a
If that cannot be done, by all means
start with some good pure bred stock.

build the flock up to a high standard.
