dying that they might live. After the
days OF mourning came the ceremony
Of the finding of the body of Osiris
and the resurrection of the god, the
signal for the beginning of the spring
festival OF Joy throughout the ancient
land Of the Nile. The resurrection of
Osiris as symbolized in the sprouting

Of mans immortality.
1t Is from the rich mythology OF
our Teutonic ancestors that we derive
the very name of Easter ITSELF for the
spring festival Of Eostre, the goddess
OF spring, was a period of rejoicing
that made the dark forests of northern
Europe ring with gladness. With the
conversion of the Germanic races to
Christianity much Of the old ritual OF
the Eostre worship was retained in
the Easter ceremonies and customs OF
the peasants, where IL is found today.
The Eastern customs Of today had
their beginnings so far back In the
history Of the world that 1t is impos-
sible to trace their origins. The egg
and the rabbit are two spring symbols
Of reviving nature that are universal
and appear to be as popular today as
thousands OF years ago in ancient In
dia. One Of the legends is that the god
Buddha finding the people starving,
transformed himself into a hare that
the people might be fed. All of the
egg legends, of which there are q hun
dred variants, express the idea Of re-
generation that comes with the begin
ming OF spring.
Our own Indians had many spring
customs and rituals similar In many
respects to those OF the ancients of
Asia Minor and Egypt. The old Peru
VANS and the Aztecs had elaborate

FRESH AIR FOR SWINE:
Too Little Attention Paid to Win
ter Quarters.
Drafts Are Prime Promoters of Colds,
Which Develop into Pneumonia
Provide Ample Ventilation
From Top of House.
tBy l.. M. BENNINGTON. !,

>
Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation of their
winter quarters, or If they attempt to
ventilate at all, they do little more
than leave a few cracks around the
bottom through which the cold air can
get in, but provide no way for it to
get out.
Experience has shown that drafts
are bad for swine. They are the prime
promoters of colds, which develop
into pneumonia, and what is gener-
ally known as swine fever.
1t is important that the bottom
boards of the hog house should be
thoroughly we'll battened and the d.
visions between the pens should be
treated in the same way.
Ample ventilation should be provid-
ed from the top of the house and not
by underneath drafts. Who has not
seen hogs piled upon each other in
cold weather, shivering. fighting to
get into a warm place?
Under such conditions 1t is impos-
sible for a hog to put on flesh, and
there are nine chances to ten that he
will take cold, which may develop
into serious lung trouble.
Overhead ventilation Is easily Sc
cured by leaving an open space of,
say six inches, between the top Of the
outside wall and the roof. An Eng
fish farmer, who has had great sue
cess with hogs, builds his houses with
a section OF the wall hung on swivel
pin in the middle, which can be swung
open whenever sunlight and air are
needed. When the section is released,
1t swings back into an upright posi-
ton by gravitation.
In order to let the rays of the sun
into every part of the building. the
houses have been laid out north and
south, so that by opening the wall
shutters on the east side, the morning
sun Is let in, and by opening those on
the west side, the rays OF the after
noon sun can penetrate to every part
of the house, keeping 1t sweet and
clean.
NO less important than proper ven
tilation is drainage. A floor that will
be absolutely impervious to dampness
can be made of four parts gravel to
one of cement, making floor of one
and one-half inch thickness and top
ping off with half an inch of sand and
cement In the proportions of two parts
sand to one of cement
This will give two-inch floor, per-
fectly smooth and easy to sweep and
clean. 1t should have a pretty sharp
fall, at least one-half inch per foot
from one end to the other. in order
that the liquid manure can be drained
into a proper receptacle for dlstribu-
ton to various parts of the farm
The floors Of the hog houses should
be thoroughly cleaned every day. The

KEEP FALL PIGS ADVANCING
More Care 10 Necessary to Good
Growth of Animals Than Those
Farroweo In the Spring.

To keep fall pigs steadily advancing
a bit more care is necessary than is
generally essential to the good growth
of springfarrowed animals.
Letting fall pigs crowd is serious
thing and always results in loss
Warmth may be had without crowd
ing.
Feeding pigs at this season is no
serious task. Remember that large
and small should not be fed at the
same trough.
A good thick slop of shipstuff, some
soaked cracked corn and oats and we'll
cured alfalfa or clover hay well cut
and steamed will keep them thriving.
Every farmer does not have this, but
he should plan to get it, Last fall

corn and oat chop These three are q
fine combination.

VALUABLE POULTRY FEED
Some Fowls Become Fat on Almost
Any Kind Of Food, While Others
Will Not Fatten on Corn.

Corn Is valuable poultry food, and
1t Is In it's abuse and not its use that it
Is to be condemned. Some fowls be-
come fat on almost any kind of food,
while others will not fatten even on
corn. There seems to be good bit of
humanlike nature about the makeup of
the hen. II hens are made to exercise
for their grain, and are in good lay
Ing condition. there is not much dan
ger of their becoming overfat. In
fact, 1t is rather q difficult matter to
overfatten laying hens. 1t is when
they are slack in laying and become
lazy that the fat seems to start 10
grow. When hens become too fat
they should be placed in separate
yard where there is no male bird, as
the attention Of male to an overfat
hen Ia apt to hasten death. If such
hens are given only an evening feed
OF wheat and nothing during the day
except green food and water they will
soon lose considerable Of their sur
plus fat.

1t is interesting work, this breed
ing up a flock of pure blood sheep,
and it pays excellently well for the
time and money spent. In fact, there
is no other animal which the man of
moderate means can raise that will
do the farm as much good and bring
In as much clean money.
Your sheep must always be well
Nd
Have place where they can get
under cover quickly in the event of
sudden storms, which are likely at
this season of the year. A structure
of this kind should be more than a
roof; 1t should be so deep that the
sheep can get far enough under SO
that the storm cannot possibly reach
them. 1t should also be a hooded
shed; that is, some provision should
be made for low front that will
break the storm.
If this Is not feasible, a good way
is to build up straw stack or stack
OF cornstalks in the open in front of
the open part Of the shed, but several
feet away so that the sheep will not
feel they are penned In, yet can read
lily get In by going aground the stack
on the other side.
The floor should be dry at all times,
and it is an excellent plan to have
more or less roughage which the
sheep may MUNICH over to keep them
happy and contented
1t is not intended that this shed be
more than q place of cover in case of
storm. The barn or stable should be
the regular home and arranged for
comfort
The subject of marketing is one of
the greatest importance and quite
another story.

The ram is the main thing. Unless
the head of the flock is everything he
should be, it will be impossible to
breed up to the highest standard.
In selecting the ram, look for con-
formation, rather than size. Some
big rams are poor breeders.
The ram should be close to the

in bone. He should have a well-shaped
