larly If it is made a part of any other
building.
Hog houses ought to be isolated,
and better STILL portable houses
should be used whenever possible.
Portable houses, mounted on run
ners, can be moved from one small
clover or rape field to another, giving
the pigs fresh pasturage and clean
quarters. OF course such pens are
only for shelter and nesting purposes.
The portable farrowing pen should
have place on every farm where
two or more sows are kept. These
are easily built by any farmer handy
with tools, and should not cost over
three dollars. o.. .- %&.

Let Uncle Try for Another.


The little Bratenahl boy visited his
uncle, who lives away out in the coun-
try. Uncle is a devout man; a pillar
of the church and a breeder of fine
horses. And upon a certain pretty
colt did our little friend cast his eye
with admiration and covetousness.
Uncle Samuel" he said, will you
please give me that colt?"
"Why, no, Harold" answered the
uncle. 81 can't give you that colt. Do
you want colt very badly?"
I'D rather have colt than any
thing in the world"
"Well, if you want colt that much
you ought to pray for 1t. When l want
a thing very badly I pray for it and
it comes to me-"
Honest, Uncle? Well, I'll tell you
you give me this colt and then you
pray for another one."-Cleveland

you-just keep on pretending you're
dead"
So the wildcat said he'd do as the
rabbit told him to, and they went close
to where the turkeys were resting hud-
died on the ground.
Then the rabbit skipped over to the
turkeys and said to them:
Come with me and see what / have
found-the wildcat, our enemy, is dead,
Come with me and we will have a
dance around his dead body" And the
turkeys went strutting and peering
after the rabbit until they came to the
place where the wildcat was lying and
pretending to be dead.
Now for the dance!" said the rab-
bit. ''I'll get a stick and beat time
while l sing, and you will all dance
around the wildcat"
And so the rabbit began to beat
with his stick and sing: Ca lagina
hasuyak; Ga lagina hasuyak!" That
means, "Pick out the gobbler, pick out
the gobbler!" And the turkeys asked
the rabbit why he sang that song,
oh" said the rabbit, its song
the wildcat used to like to sing-now
we'll sing it to him. Everybody dance
fast now, and dance closer and closer
to the dead wildcat"
So they all danced in closer and
closer.
Now hit the wildcat as we do in
the war dance" said the rabbit And
as they danced the turkeys hit the
wildcat, but he did not move. Finally,
the biggest gobbler kicked the wild
cat, and just then the rabbit struck
the ground hard with his stick and
shouted out as loud as he could: "Pick
out the biggest gobbler!" And then the
wildcat jumped up quick and grabbed
the biggest gobbler and ran off to the
best supper he had ever had
And ever since, when night comes,
the wild turkeys have gone to sleep
up in the trees at night, where the
rabbits can't find them. Ever since,
too, good rabbits have always come
home before it gets quite dark-an
example to little children.
