not deep enough to form a gutter but
sufficient to collect the water after
cleaning. and to lead it out through
the back or farther door.
The floors of the pens are sloped so
they drain into the center alley and
the manure is taken out this way by
means of a manure carrier. The in
tention is to use some kind of stable
absorbent to take care of the liquid
manure and the slop water that col
lects around the troughs. The drain
through the center alley is for remov-
ing wash water when the pens are
washed out with the hose. Some damp
ness accumulates around the feeding
troughs with the most careful manage
ment. The easiest outlet is in front.
In practice this plan works the best
because it keeps the dampness away
from the nests it is in plain sight
where the men are likely to be remind
ed of the necessity of keeping the
house clean. This arrangement keeps
the bedding dry with little labor.
All concrete hog house floors should
have raised wooden platforms for the
nests. These platforms should be made
of matched boarding nailed to 2x4's
turned on edge. Each nest should
have a rail of 2x4's to keep the bed
ding in place and this rail should be
set in from the edge of the floor about
three inches, to form step for little
pigs. The nests should be movable
for easy cleaning.
1t is common practice to raise the
nests above the floor at cleaning time
by placing them on top of the division
fences They are then entirely out OF
the way of cleaning, so thorough
job may be done. Sometimes perma-
nent cleats are nailed to the walls to
hold the nests when lifted. The bed.

Brain Amnutation.

One of the wonders of surgical sci
ence has been performed in a French
military hospital where wounded SOL
der has had a sixth of his brain am
putated without missing it. The pa
tient was carried in with penetrating
wound in the occipital region of the
Uranium. Splinters Of bone had
caused an abscess to form in the left
cerebral hemisphere. These were re.
moved by DR.. A. Guepin, surgeon in
chief to the hospital, but a fresh
abscess formed, and Doctor Guepin
was obliged on two occasions to ampu.
tate portions Of the brain which pro-
truded from the wound. The patient
thus lost at least third of the left
hemisphere, but shows no special
signs of trouble, either of motivity,
sensibility, or ideation.

face.

ard, and she started and looked up
like frightened fawn at the sound
of his approaching footsteps.
"Oh, it is you, Mr.. Howard" she
stammered in confusion, and then, as
he sat down beside her, despite his
grave manner, she nestled toward him,
the shadows on her face tightening as
if he infused her with sense of pro.

Her eyes were downcast, her face

tones a-tremble, her face half hidden.
Howard gave a great start. A sud

had illumined his mind. In flash he
saw it all-his nephew, Walter! Why
of course! Had not Milly for months

Coal improved by Sea Water.

Work which has of late years been
accomplished in recovering cargoes Of
coal from sunken vessels has tended
to show that the combustion of the
product is improved by submergence
in salt water. Coal subjected to the
action of sea water for number of
years has been found to burn almost
entirely away. leaving only small
amount of ash and no clinkers. Some
time ago several cargoes of coal were
recovered from old vessels which were
apparently lost about century ago.
The combustion of this material was
found to be excellent. Crates of coal.

often enough to keep 1t clean and San
itary.
1t is better to run the bedding
through the cutting box, especially for
sows with small pigs; but it pays to
cut the bedding for other hogs, be-
cause the short lengths Of straw get
scattered around the floor and absorb
liquid manure much better than long
straw.
We are learning the value of liquid
manure from numerous experiments
at the various agricultural experiment
stations, and we are often surprised
at the splendid results.
Winter hog houses for breeding
stock are rooted somewhat differently
from other farm buildings. 1t is de-
sirable to have the sun shine into the
nests at narrowing time. This perspec-
tive shows that the roof of this hog
house is pitched to catch the rays OF
the sun at the proper angle during the
fall and spring narrowing seasons. at
about AZ degrees of latitude.
The size of this winter hog house is
80 by "a feet. The pens are nearly
by feet, which is considered about
right for a SOW and her litter.
Such pens also are large enough to
hold four OF five shoats for fattening
in early winter. Four or five growing
hogs will live together in pen with
out injury to each other, but a larger
number are likely to pile up to keep
warm and the smaller ones are in dan
ger of being smothered Such losses
rarely occur when the number is linn
tied to five, especially when they are
practically the same in size. There Is
no criticism against making small pens
in winter hog house.
Ventilation is another necessity in a
close-built hog house. This plan pro-
vides ten windows and seven doors, all
or any of which may be opened to let
the fresh air in and the foul air out.
While ventilation is necessary in hog
house draft is a bad thing. To pre-
vent drafts the sill is Embedded on the
top of the wall in fresh cement NOR
tar; the mortar is troweled against the
stills both inside and outside. A draft
coming through under the sill is just
the right height to do the most dam
age.
The wooden walls above the stills
are made carefully by using building
