A GLASS HOG HOUSE.

A Kansas hog raiser some three or
four years ago built glass hog house
at cost Of about $4,000, it being his
contention that hogs need good deal
more sunshine than they usually get.
This house contains sixty-two pens
that are six by eight feet in size. Each
pen is connected by sliding gate with
an eight foot aileyway which runs the
entire length Of the house and in
which the little pigs can exercise
Each sow is marked as she is given a
pen, and q record Is kept Of the num-
Der and individual thriftiness Of the
pigs in her litter. In making the house
double glass was used, and the owner
reports that It never freezes in this
glass hog house. He says If he were to
build another hog house he would build
it like this one.

TREATING FENCE POSTS.

Farmers $ullettn No. 3ST should be
I'm the hands Of every farmer who has
a job Of fencing to do. 1t takes up
simply. yet in detail. practical methods
for treating wooden posts with pre-
servaives which will prolong their
period of service. Outfits for treating
posts in the manner mentioned cost
from $40 or $12 for simple homemade
barrel outfits to $50 for tank outfits
with bricked in fireplace in which the
posts can be laid down full length.
The most satisfactory results in treat
ing posts seem to have been had with
pine, cottonwood and willow posts,
this being due to the cheapness of the
post material and the greater capacity
of these lighter woods for absorbing
the preservative material. Before
posts are treated all bark and fiber
should be removed and the posts thor
oughly seasoned. Usually this is &C.
cnmplished in the case of five inch
posts following exposure to the wealth
er for a period of from six to eight
weeks. In the experiments described
in the bulletin the best results were
secured by first giving the posts bath
in hot creosote from one to three
hours, depending upon the kind of
wood, and following this with bath
in cold Oil for from one to two hours
The result Of the preservative treat
ment is definitely shown in the case of
lodgepole pine in Idaho. Untreated
posts, costing cents each, lasted four
years, while treated posts, costing the
same and given a creosote bath cost
ing Is cents, lasted twenty years. Fig
uring the cost of setting as II cents
in both cases and figuring per cent
interest on the investment, it makes
the annual cost of the untreated post
: cents and of the treated post 8 cents
icr year. A postal addressed to the
department of agriculture at Washing
ten will place this bulletin in the hands
Of any farmer who may desire it.

SkIMMlLK FOR HENS.

Some very interesting evidence OF
the value of skimmilk as ration for
laying hens is contained in contribu-
ton to Hoard's Dairyman from the
proprietor of large New York poultry
farm. He became convinced Of the
wisdom of using skimmilk as part of
the ration for the hens and during
April, May and June fed on an average
about $50 pounds of skimmilk per
day to 1900 hens. By a mistake in
instruction the milk was fed to other
stock for week or two. and at once
there was decline in egg production
from sixty-two dozen eggs per day to
thirty-eight dozen, the loss directly due
to the omission of the milk being twen-
ty-four dozen, which, at 81 cents per
dozen, were worth $7.44. This. divided
by the 344 pounds of skimmilk which
were being fed per day, gives $2.16 per
hundredweight as the value Of the
skimmilk as an egg producing ration.
1t might be contended by some that
the slump was due to other causes, but
this is disproved by the fact that as
soon as the milk was resumed as
part of the ration the daily production
Of eggs again increased from thirty
eight to sixty-six dozen per day.

one strange method Of making the dyes
Of ancient days. 1t seems that in some
places the custom prevailed of making
holes in the beds Of brooks during the
dry season, in which, when the rain
fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral
substance were deposited and left to
act upon one another until the dry sea-
son arrived, when the contents Of the
holes were removed by the dyers, who,
grinding all together indiscrininately,

valuable yet held from the standpoint
of the program of addresses and dis

Each subject discussed will be opened
by men of recognized authority and
experience in that particular line, while
the discussion following will be by
practical fruit growers present Among
some of the subjects already selected
for discussion are: The standardized
pack, utilizing lower grade fruits in by
products, storing fruit for market.

RuTrERMlLk PAINT.

A very satisfactory as well as cheap
paint for rough uses may be made ac-
cording to the following recipe: Take
one gallon of buttermilk and to it add
three pounds of portland cement and
enough venetian red or other pigment
to give the desired coloring. The paint
should be applied as soon as possible
after it is made and should be stirred
frequently while being applied, as the
cement, being heavy, tends to settle to
the bottom of the pail If the paint
has five or six hours in which to dry
after it is applied it will shed water
very effectively. However, it does not
produce a glossy color and will not be
found successful for the better kind of
work.

How often in suggestions that are
given for the care Of animals or poul-
try in which a disease has appeared
the direction is given to remove sick
animals from the well. OF course the
sick must be separated from the well,
but in many cases it is far better to
remove the well animals or poultry
from those that are sick and, what is
even more important, from the condi-
tons under which it has been possible
for disease to develop. Leaving the
well In the quarters where the sickness
has developed Is simply an Invitation
to have them ceme down with the
