temporarily abandoned its interest IN
international affairs today TO give
some consideration to the outcome Of
the elections. With the stock market
still under closure, there was no way
of measuring the significance of the

but conservative opinion the market
would have responded with a vigorous
upturn in prices.
On the other hand. il was regarded
as debatable question whether these
political conditions would not have
been largely neutralized by the latest
victories of the German navy. These

llp no DATE HOO HOUSE.

One OF the most practical us well
az nm TO date hog houses that the writ
er has had opportunity of Inspecting
In many a day is u brood SOW house
arranged for ten animals. The roof
ON the north half Of the house extends
some three or four feet higher than
the roof on the south half. and this
space is given over almost entirely
TO windows. which let an abundance
of sunshine into the pens on the north
side of the alley Each of the pens on
the south side is provided with y
good sized window, insurihg plenty OF
sunshine for these pens. The house
Is built ON a cement floor, which
slopes slightly toward the middle to
insure proper drainage. Each pen Is
provided with swinging door hung
from rod above so that it can be
pushed out or in. To complete the
house, it has been equipped with the
King system OF ventilation. consisting
of wooden ventilator fues situated
about six feet from each end of the
structure and extending from near the
floor through the roof Of the higher
section. These carry OFF the foul air
which lies near the floor. Fresh air
is admitted through two conductors
made by boarding in the space be-
tween two studdings at either end
the opening on the outside being close
to the ground and that on the inside
being some six or seven feet from
the floor. BY this system the hogs
get fresh air without being subject to
drafts, which are frequent source Of
trouble at narrowing time in Ill ven
tilated houses.

Eaa LAYING CONTEST OVER.

The international egg laying contest
which has been held ut Storys college,
Connecticut. and which has been tho
center of much interest ON the part OF
poultry keepers over the country clos
ed on Nov. /. The highest score was
made by five White Leghorn hens
owned by the Englshman Tom Bar
ron. They laid l,l00 eggs. which is an
average of 23S per hen. The best in
dividual record was made by one OF
these hens, which had 2S2 eggs to her
credit The next best record for a
pen was made by five other White
Eeghorns belonging to Edward Cam,
also an Englishman. These laid l,l07
eggs. or an average OF 22l eggs per
pen. Thirteen other pens entered in
the contest laid more than 800 eggs
during the year. or these, ten pens
were White Leghorns, two were White
Wyandottes, and one was pen OF
Rhode Island Reds. Eight pens OF
Barred Plymouth Rocks averaged $40
eggs per pen, eleven pens of White
Wyandottes 77s eggs per pen, eight
pens OF S. c. r. |. Reds $40, five Of
X. G. Il. |. Reds 6S5, forty three pens
Of White Leghorns S5I. four pens OF
White orpingtons $50 eggs per pen.
The BOBBY prize for poorest record
WINS won by pen OF Black 0rping-
tons. which laid a total Of 300 eggs, or
an average OF rs eggs each during the
year.

POTATOES EoR HOGS.

There isn't much likelihood that
with potatoes retailing at dollar or
more on small town markets any great
quantity Of them will be utilized as
hog feed. However. the Wisconsin
experiment station has been conduct
ing some feeding experiments with a
view, to ascertaining the value Of po-
tatoes as a hog ration that are worth
while remembering for seasons when
potatoes are drug on the market. In
these tests 40 pounds of cornmeal,
fed alone. produced 100 pounds of
gain. and 262 pounds OF cornmeal with
1856 pounds of potatoes. weighed be-
fore cooking. produced 100 pounds OF
gain. In this it will be seen that 1856
pounds OF potatoes took the place of
ITS pounds Of cornmeal, which means
that the feeding value Of corn was
about four and one-half times that OF
raw potatoes. 1t was found that small
quantities of potatoes fed with the
grain ration helped to keep the pigs
In healthy condition.

A GIRL WORTH WHILE.

The other day Hamilton county
Qa.) girl husked 10 bushels Of corn in
one day, and it is stated on good au-
thority that she has husked more than
100 bushels for several days. Her ia
Their was short OF help. and she has
been giving him lift. 1t is safe
guess that this vigorous and athletic
miss doesn't spend great deal of her
time powdering or painting or porting
over the galaxy Of sapheads shown in
the average fashion magazine to see
how close she can come to being indie
cent In dress and yet maintain a repu-
tation for mOdesty and her own self
respect. Unless we miss our guess
some young man Of judgment and
good sense will come along one of
these days and ask this young woman
to help him make home. II one such
has not already done so. And 1t Is
more than likely that she will be In
shape to swing her end of the respon-
sibility. tt

WHAT ONE FARMER DID.

"A farmer who owns sixty acres not
far from where the writer lives has
for the past three or four years been
working out system Of intensive
farming which Is deserving Of much
more attention from the average farm
er. The past year he succeeded, In
raising $1,000 worth of crops on this
sixty acre tract Thirty acres were
devoted to beans, 600 bushels being
produced and selling for S2.75 per
bushel. An acre and quarter in on
ions brought $7S3. while the remainder
Of the farm was in potatoes. the yield
being about 100 bushels per acre and
the crop averaging about 81 per bushel
There is little question that this farm
er has more money in the bank now
at the end Of the season than thou
sands of men who have titled half sec
tons of land or more. 1t goes without
saying that this sixty acre farmer was
kept busy. but no more so than owners
of much larger tracts, nor did he have
any more worry.

lr PAID TO ADVERTISE.

The other day farmer whose case
the writer noted had an auction sale.
Instead of spending from 81 to 50 for
advertising it, which Is the amount
usually spent by u majority of farmers
who have such sales, he spent $50
along the publicity line. On the basis
OF prices which had been received for
stock and machinery at sales shortly
preceding his own he figured that his
stuff ought to fetch about $4,000
When he counted his cash after the
auction was over he found that his
sale had netted him 500 more than
he had figured on. He attributed this
gain to the extra amount spent ON ad,
vertising and the Increased number OF
wide awake bidders that were on hand
as result Of his special advertising
effort, There is much In this thorough
advertising OF farm sales that resem-
bles using plenty of good seed when
one wishes to reap a large crop.

MANcHuRlAN HENS.

An American consul ut Antung. Chi
ma, reports that the hens In south Man
churia lay eggs that average from FIVE
to seven to the pound. He reports
that he has frequently seen eggs
weighing more than four ounces.
These are produced by u hen of no
particular breed. but one that resem-
bles the Black Langshan. She lays
an egg every day for week or ten
days and then rests two or three days
Usually the egg laid every third day
weighs four ounces These hens are
fed largely on corn and are kept con-
fined. The consul thinks that 1t might
be possible to increase the size Of
American eggs through importation Of
some Of these Manchurian fowls and
careful breeding.

a NEW AYRsHlRE RECORD.

The best record ever made by "A COW
Of the Ayrshire breed was recently
completed by Auchenbraln Brown
Kate. owned by Percivnl Roberts, Jr,,
Of Pennhurst farm. Pennsylvania. Her
milk production for the year was 49,,
022 pounds. which tested 800 per cent
and yielded OF pounds of butter fat,
equal to 1919 pounds Of butter. Brown
Kate was imported from Scotland in
1910 and in good condition weighs
1,350 pounds She was MIXED three
times day during her milking period,
and her highest consumption of grain
was fifteen pounds per day Her feed
bin cost $1Si,G2. and the ll.51l quarts
Of milk she gave sold at cents per
quart. or S57555. This leaves a net
return, not including care. Of $39O.93
In every real sense this COW Is milk
factory.

SAN HOSE SCALE.

1t is well for those having apple
orchards In sections which have not
as yet been infested by the San Jose
scale to keep sharp lookout for the
pest Its presence is indicated on the
bark OF limbs and trunks OF trees by
minute grayish scales. which serve in
the aggregate to give II a somewhat
rough surface. The presence Of the
scale on fruit is plainly shown In small
purple spots with grayish center, and
this is particularly true where the
ripe fruit is either green or yellow In
color. The spray that is universally
used in keeping this scale pest in
check is concentrated solution Of
lime-sulphur applied while the tree is
in dormant condition. In sections
where the aphis bothers. the spraying
is usually done in the spring just be-
fore the buds start.

AGRICULTURE AND THEOLOGY.

They have hit upon unique but
very sensible plan In one western
state. 1t has been arranged that six
lecturers from the State Agricultural
college shall appear before the stu
dents Of not distant theological semi
nary and give a short course in agri-
culture. including lectures on farm
crops, soils and farm management,
animal husbandry. dairying. poultry,
horticulture and rural landscape gar
denlng These lectures will be espe-
cially adapted to the needs of minis
tiers whose fields are likely to be To-
Gated in small towns or rural com
munitles. The income of.many a coun-
try pastor might be materially In
creased or the household expenses less.
ened were more lectures given on the
subject mentioned and fewer on orig

GET OUT ALL THE MILK.

Where hand milking is done, and
this applies to a vast majority OF dairy
herds, II is matter of no small i'm
portance to take good deal Of pains
In the matter Of stripping the cows
carefully, Experiments that have been
made prove beyond question that by
taking the teat in the hand and push
ing the udder up close against the
body and repeating this operation
three or four times with ench quarter
OF the udder the flow OF milk can be
increased materially. Not only are
the strlppings secured In this way
the richest OF the whole milking. but
the manipulation mentioned tends to
cause the secretion OF that much more
ut subsequent milkings.

Whether a grade COW fetches $35 or
800 at an auction sale depends upon
the showdown she makes when 1t
comes to milk and butter production.
II she is just barely paying for her
keep the lower price will take her. and
1t means that she is worth what her
carcass is worth for meat II, on the
other hand, she is yielding her owner a
net revenue of from $50 to 500. as a
good many cows do, she is worth three
times what the other COW is simply as
an investment proposition.
