It is great mistake and poor bust

Some farmers think that because

any kind Of shelter or with no shell

In the hog business. Hogs Of all
kinds like cool shade, and cool places
for wallowing and sleeping during the
warmer months.
The efficient hog house is simple
AFFAIR, and can be built by anyone
with only small cash outlay. It
need not be more than four feet high
in the rear and slightly more In the
front to allow slope for the roof. The
sides should be short. The lumber
for them will not cost much. but It
should be of good material to keep out
rains and winds. Probably the best
roof for hog houses is that Of heavy
felt. This Is to be laid on tight fitting
or matched boards. Galvanized iron
also makes q good roof, and Is to be
commended for the movable houses.
When iron of any kind Is used for the
roof 1t should be laid on solid boards,
as iron is very hot in summer when
the sun shines, and Is cold In winter.
Since q hog house need not be too
large the farmer who keeps several
sows and IL growing large number
Of pigs each year should have half
dozen or more Of these houses on the
farm and In convenient places. Some
farmers have all their hog houses
near the barn and other buildings,
but do not think this Ii good prac-
tice. Hogs Of different ages and sizes
will not do well in one herd. says
writer in an exchange. They should
be separated into small herds. accord
ing to their ages and conditions. Sows
and growing pigs should not be al
lowed to be on the same lot with fat
tening hogs. The excessive corn diet
is not good for their growth and pro
duction, and with large fattening hogs
the smaller ones will be crowded and
injured. Too many hogs In one PEN
are more apt to contract disease than

When the farm Is divided into small
fields and each deld is fenced hog
tight It will pay to have at least one
hog house In each field. 30 that It can
be pastured with hogs at some time
each year, thus saving and turning to
good account all the waste forage.

Once upon a time there raj a busy little frost elf named Frisky. He was al

uS GREATEST array OIL Special prizes
that was ever offered in the north

the twin cities. will be given on this
occasion, and the greater number of
these have been donated by the bust
ness men of the cities Of Fargo and

There are cups of great value and all
of them are worth going after. When
the awards are made the prize winner
can have them appropriately engraved
by the jeweler from whom they were
purchased. The fact that Judge Clay

fairly and that each exhibit will be
judged according to its merits.

handled by Alex McPhail of this city

ence in the business and they will be
well looked after.

been associated with him In the under
taking are very much pleased that
their hard work is bearing forth such
excellent fruit, for the indications are
that the show will be the biggest thing
that the northwest has ever had. The
fact that there are ninety special
prizes should bring a very large num-
Der of dogs to the city, and they will
be well worth seeing.

The Duluth Herald has the follow
ing editorial which aptly illustrates
the need for being thorough:
1t doesn't pay to be too quick in
deciding that you have arrived" in
life, and to sit back resting on your
laurels.
David Belasco tells a story which
illustrates the point.
One Of his players gave brilliant
promise and made good.
But he failed to realize" says Be-
lasco, that he had merely learned one
lesson and that his real caree was
tar ahead. He gave up serious study,
accepting himself as n who had
finally arrived. He has not had O.
success since, and now is all but for
gotten by those who praised him
most
The ailment is common, and there
Is a name for It. "SWelled hear" the
boys in the strickland some others
call 1t.
The trouble with this actor was
that he didn't keep going--he didn't
keep growing, he didn't keep working.
he didn't keep studying. He made
a success, and sat back to admire
himself. And while he did the pro-
cession passed by and he never could
catch up again.
Nobody ever reaches the point
where there is no more to be learned,
and no more need to strive.
Whoever thinks he has reached that
point has unknowingly stamped him
self a failure. Others will find it out
before he does, but he will find it
out, oo-to late.
Keep on going.

fed as the time they celebrated their
first Christmas and each received a
new pair Of red top boots. 1t was a
great gathering and represented the
hundreds Of men employed by the
great company. AS might be expected
the head Of this department, Frank X.
Gravel, was everywhere apparent and
greeted all of the travellers and man
ayers OF branches by name and made
them all feel at home. There were
several meetings daily during the three
or four days the party assembled at
Duluth, n there vas plenty of good
advice and instruction given out which
is bound to fall on good ground and
grow and thrive. In addition to ten
talkfest which some of the boys call
ed the meetings, there was real feast
ing and the knights of the grip lived
off the fat of the land and hobnobbed
with the heads just like "as if they,
too were heads 1t was a democratic
gathering in which all enjoyed every
thing that went on.
Frank Clark, when he was asked
what they all did up at Duluth, merely
remarked: We'll, we had several
meetings, and after each one we ate.
Then we had ONE more and her we
went to the table again. / believe that
this is the right way to get informa-

or child anything on any empty stom-
ach. That's GraVe1's idea of things.
Look how round and fat and well kept
he is. He's been training in that
shape all the time and is able to make
a speech, sing a song, and when he is
out in a gathering and there's no one
to tell or him he can do a dance. 1t
was a great big time for the boys of
the branch houses and the travellers,
and I guess every one of them will
say that it was worth going to. We
look for a big business during the
