PRODUCTION OF LIVE STOCK
Not Keeping Pace With Increase in
PopuIation-Manure Needed to
Maintain Soil Fertility.

In raising live stock the successful
farmer fully appreciates the value of
good breed, proper care and scientific
feeding. If any one feature is neglect
ed the full value of the feed is not
secured. The production of live stock
is not, nor has it been for several
years, keeping pace with the increase
in our population and the demands
from abroad.
Western ranges have been devel-
oped into farms so well satisfied with
the high price obtained for corn, hay
and other products that they have not
bothered with live stock.
Because of the increasing demand
for meat at home, and the deficit
abroad partly because of the war, meat
will command a very attractive price
for many years to come.
Another reason why stock raising
should not be neglected is because the
manure from the live stock is indis-
pensable in maintaining the fertility
Of the soil.

actly the same as every other window.
A more artistic effect may be secured
by a judicious variation.
Another mark of beauty in this plan
is the wide and deep cornice and the
way it is supported by heavy brackets.
A roof as wide as this, with so lit
tie incline, is better made of roll
roofing, with the joints carefully ce-
mented with plenty of asphalt pitch.
The chimneys require a little extra
attention to prevent the water from
leaking in. 1t is possible and practical
to make roof like this rainproof and
satisfactory, but it requires good quail
ity of material and good workman
ship to do it. Such roof should be
laid on smooth, even, well-supported,
matched roofboards, covered with
building paper, to make the best foun-
dalton. Then if the roofing itself is
good quality, properly put on, the job
will last a long time.
The size of this bungalow is 80 by
A feet on the ground, exclusive of
the rear porch. This gives floor space
sufficient for five rooms and good
sized sun parlor, which makes SPLEEN
did annex in connection with the livs
ing room. And it is a good-sized sun
parlor, being IL by II feet; and light,
because two sides are mostly inclosed
with glass.
The sun parlor and the open porch
are supposed to look to the southeast
to get the morning and forenoon sun,
and where it is shaded from the sun
in the afternoon. The front porch
has the same advantage. Because OF
the wide roof overhang it is not neces-
sary to build separate roof to cover
this porch.
A study of the plan shows a very
neat connection between the living
room, sun parlor and front porch by
means of three doorways. The corner
entrance steps are built at the end Of
the porch to leave a space of about
10 feet 6 inches free for the proper
placing Of porch furniture without in
terfering with the free passage in or
out of the front door. Such little
things mean a good deal in the real
comfort of a home.

rooms and the bathroom on the north

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Real bungalow architecture is gain
ing in popularity. Habitations of this
character are typical of California, be-
cause that is the section of the United
States where artistic bungalows we're
first built
The bungalow idea is supposed to
have originated in Africa and to have
been adopted in most other warm
countries.
The prevailing characteristics of all
bungalows is the low general appear
ance and the wide-spreading roof. The
roof overhang on some bungalows is
as much as six or eight feet, to protect
the sides of the house from the hot
sun. In a great many sections of the
arid west the sun shines very hot in
the daytime, but the air is so dry that
it is always cool in the shade. If a
house is shaded it is cool on the west
ern slope, even on hot days. Eastern
atmosphere contains a great deal more
moisture and is much colder in win
ter, SO that eastern bungalows are
built little different.

WHEN CHOLERA is SUSPECTED
Take Temperature of Apparently
Healthy AnimaIs-Make Post-Mor-
TEN Examination of Dead Hog.

When disease that is contagious
appears among hogs, spreading more
or less rapidly, is quite uniformly IA
tai, and is accompanied by high
temperature, it is quite safe to as
sumo that it is cholera.
Where cholera is suspected, it is
well to get thermometer and take
the temperature of a number of those
that are apparently well. The nor
NAL temperature is from 101 to lob
degrees in winter and about degree
higher in summer If cholera is pres
ent, the temperatures will be found as
high as 105 to 107 degrees.
Make post-mortem examination on
a hog that has just died and examine
the kidneys for small, dark red spots
resembling those on turkey egg.
Look for small red spots along the
small intestines and somewhat larger
ones on the lungs. The Emphatic
glands, which are found in the flank,
along the intestines and between the
lungs, and which are a light amber
color in health, will be found longest
ed and varying from pink to very
dark color.
Where the services of a qualified
veterinarian can be obtained, he
should be called to make post-mor-
TEN and to give serum.-Departme

gether. If there are any cellar win
dows in front. they do not show from
the street. Bungalow cellars may be
lighted sufficiently at the back. A lot
is chosen that slopes back from the
street, or, if the lot is level, the front
is filed in to give the proper effect
The planting of shrubs and flowers
helps out in this respect.
The beauty of this bungalow may
be traced to the symmetrical proper
tions, artistic lines and to the roof
brackets and the overhang. The de-
sign is splendidly embellished by the
manner in which the windows are ar
ranged. The tall, narrow easement
windows in the sun parlor are con-
trasted with the wide, low window
looking across the front porch and the
high, square window at the side. It
is not absolutely necessary to make

rooms are larger than is generally ex-
pected in a bungalow. The dining
room is Is by IL feet inches, this
large size being accounted for by the
window extension.
There is an extra large pantry and
a very convenient kitchen. In fact,
the kitchen is one of the most pleas
ant rooms in the house, which is per-
fectly right, because the woman of the
house usually spends a great deal of
time in the kitchen Modern kitch-
ems are built as carefully and are per-
haps a little more carefully finished
than the other rooms. The modern
idea is to have the kitchen thoroughly
sanitary, which means in the first
place that it must be light and well
ventilated. The kitchen furniture
should be plain, but as well designed
and as well made as any other furni-
ture.
Kitchen cabinets and other conven-
fences for the proper care of kitchen
utensils demand as much or more skill
and ingenuity than the more snowy
parts of the house.

the East requires good, warm cellar,
and the roof should be made double to
keep out the cold in winter and to
prevent the humid heat from striking
through in the summer. 1t is a puZ-
zle always in building bungalow in
the East how to retain the low Cali
fornia bungalow effect and still adapt
the house to climatic conditions in a
more humid summer climate and a
much colder winter.
The illustration shows how the trick
may be done. While this bungalow
has splendid cellar, you would not
know it from the photograph. The
cellar walls are built up to the sur
face of the ground, and the floor joists
are raised two or three feet above the
sill. The joists rest on a 2 by g.,

In most f1ocks of sheep, especially
of purebred animals, it is advisable to
use some system of flock numbers
aside from the registry number. It is
easy for an ear tag to be lost out, but
a good system of ear notches serves
as an Identification at all times.
The system used at the Colorado
Agricultural college is one which can
be recommended for small fiocks. One
