BUILD SUITABLE HOG HOUSES
Building May Be Cheap and Simple In
Construction, but Should Be Com
venlent--Eas Arranged.

When hogs are handled in large
numbers, or where twenty or more
brood sows are kept, a hog house
large enough to accommodate the ma
jority of the stock is often found.
This system has the advantage of en-
abIing the breeder to handle his hogs
with less expenditure of labor and
time than is possible If they are scat
tered over larger area.
When such house seems desirable,
1t may be cheap and simple in con-
struction, but should be convenient.
It should run east and west. and is
most easily arranged with a row of
pens on each side of an alley way,
which extends the entire length Of the
building. The walls may be of one
inch material siding, but should fit
very close in order to prevent
draughts. The roof should be moder-
ately high, to provide sufficient venti-
lation. Quite d number of windows
should be installed in order to pro-

pens should be by s, or, for large

There are many things to be said
In favor of individual houses. First

thus iessening the chances of disease
spreading through the entire herd.
Secondly, fields and pastures may be
utilized regardless Of their location or
proximity to other farm buildings.
Third, such buildings are quite mex

posed to the Storm II in the cellar,
a place should be prepared for them
now, SO that when cold weather sets

Once more: Never set the hives

people do. Bees must have fresh air,
and be kept free from dampness.
Every stormy Gay in which the hens
are allowed to wander about without
shelter. adds to the discrepancy in the
egg basket
OF course we can wait until stormy
weather sets In before making the
chickenhouse snug and comfortable,
but 1t win cost us something, In the
loss Of eggs, to do it.
After it has been made all comfort,
able for the winter, take the time to
give it another whirl of spraying with
whitewash into which two teaspoon
fuls Of carbolic acid to the pailful have
been dropped
If we win put the drag on the road
after late rains. right up until the
ground freezes, we will have very
much better roads when the frost

Stuff them two weeks, and send them

Many people do not know that the
tops Of turnips, sugar. beets and car

Maybe it is too late to gather road
