GETS TWO LICENSES TO WED
Feared Business Might Interfere With
Original Plans So He Prepared
for Emergency.

Woodland, Cal.-To make certain
that there would be no possible hitch
in the arrangements, Charles F. John
ston, local garage man, obtained a
marriage license in Woodland recently
to wed Joan R. Erringer, a Williams
girl, although the couple had originally
planned to be married in San Fran
cisco. Later Johnson contributed his
second 81 marriage certificate fee to
the county clerk of San Francisco,
and the wedding was solemnized &C
cording to schedule.
1t is supposed that the two feared
business affairs might possibly pre-
vent the ceremony being performed
in San Francisco, and so obtained a
license from the Yolo county clerk in
case of an emergency.

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.
Rx ~ 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 well battened and the di-
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 it 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 a swivef
pin in the middle, which can be swung
open whenever sunlight and air are
needed. When the section is released,
it swings back into an upright posi-
ton by gravitatfon
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 it sweet and
clean.
No less important than proper ven

be absolutely impervious to dampness
can be made OF four parts gravel to
one of cement, making a 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 a 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 distribu-
ton to various parts of the farm.
The floors of the hog houses should
be thoroughly cleaned every day. The
