II is great mistake and poor bust

Some farmers think that because a

dampuess will take OF weight almost
as fast as it Is pat on. With only q

Portable houses, sows. pigs and ma
ture hogs will bring In larger profits

kinds like cool shade, and cool places

warmer months.
The efficient hog house is simple

with only n small cash outlay. r.
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 good roof. and is to be
commended for the movable houses
When iron of any kind is used for the
roof il should be laid on solid boards,
as iron is very hot in summer when
the sun shines, and is cold in winter
Since hog house need not be too
large the farmer who keeps several
sows and is 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 is a good prac-
tice. Hogs of different ages and sizes
will not do we'll in one herd, says a
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 they are put into several lots
and smaller punches.
When the farm is divided into small
fields and each field Is fenced hog
tight it will pay to have at least one
hog house in each field, so that it can
be pastured with hogs at some time
each year, thus saving and turning to
good account all the waste forage.

CONTROL OF coRN-EAR WORM

tBy W. c. o'KANE.)


One Of the encouraging things that
turn up occasionally in the eternal
warfare against insect pests is the fact
that some remedy or other that il
recommended is also an ordinary fea-
ture of good farm practice. 1t is that
way with fall piowing Several trou-
blesome insects of field and garden
happen to be in such location in the
late fall that we can reach them by
stirring the soil One or two OF them
can be fought in almost no other way.
The pest that hits the mark most
closely is the corn ear worm. When
infesting corn it eats It's way along
within the husk devouring the young
and tender kernels and silk. As It
works its way down into the ground
the worm nils the hole behind 1t with
soil. But once at a depth of three or
four inches it turns and makes short
open gallery, part way to the surface.
