PORTABLE HOG PEN is HANDY
Those That Will Accommodate Sew,

small farmers and truckers of the
New England states These pens are
found convenient. sanitary and far

is more or less nuisance in thickly
settled sections. The portable pens
are gradually coming into use in the
trucking sections of New Jersey. as
their many excellent points become
better known. They are just the thing

method of building cheap, conven-
lent hog pen that is portable is given

Take four 2 by scantlingS and halve

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 be-
low the level of the upper edge of the
runners, then lay a floor of one-inch
oak planks over one-half Of the pen.
leaving the other half dirt floor.
Some have the outer yard slotted

off the grass, but will prevent the sod
from being rooted up The sides of
pen should be Slated. Now mortise
in 2 by 4 scantling at each corner
and midway for posts on which to
nail half-inch boards for the enclos
ing. 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 suffi cient slope
to the roof. The roof should be high
enough to allow a man to walk into
the pen. If only one-half Of the pen
is fOored 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 cover
ed pen may be made of half-inch stuff
and covered with tar paper, then give
two coats of hot lime wash as a pre-
sentative. A pair of horses can read

q HOld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas j. Webb,
of Chicago charged that there is in existence a
coffee combine which is ''the most monstrous inn
position in the history of human commerce.
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement 1t comes very close to being literally
true. There is coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used
in the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pes American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, ''to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists
The worst thing about this is that the consum-
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cnch them, has been made effective.
There formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States Those taxes
denounced imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes removed. Immediately
thereafter Erazil imposed export duty upons
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
"valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil.
through Cnls plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil IS promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
suners to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remedy7-Seatle Post-In-
