The colony house has two openings;
one door at the front to enable the
sows to go in and out; the other, a
door in the rear, hinged at the top,
which may be raised to admit sunlight

In extremely cold weather, when the

The plan followed at the New Jersey
station is to keep about three sows
which are bred for spring farrowing in
each colony house, the number depend

shown in the illustration, three houses
are placed side by side and anywhere
from eight to ten sows taken care Of
in the group. II has been found that
when kept in these houses disease is

MUNITIONS BILL
GIVEN APPROVAL

LONDON, June 1S.-(3:2O a. M
The greatest interest is being mani
tested in the labor for munitions
bill" which David Lloyd George the
minister Of munitions, will introduce
in the house Of commons next
Wednesday.
The bill will provide for munition
courts or committees composed Of
equal numbers Of representatives OF
employers and workmen empowered
to punish by small fines offenses by
ordinary munitions workmen which
hinder production, but not by i'm
prisonment.
The employers will be allowed
profits on an average Of the past three
years plus one-fifth Of that average,
and an allowance for depreciation OF
machinery Any surplus profit will
be attached by the government.
The bill will be operative only for
the duration of the war. The Times
commenting Of these provisions says:
The scheme is one Of the most re-
markable in the history Of labor leg
islation. 1t will give a measure Of Of
ficial countenanCe to trades unions
such as they never enjoyed before
The trade union leaders will almost
certainly embark upon the scheme
