showed great form with his back hand stroke, but it came little too late. Bartlett's smashing at the net and his all-round fast playing brought cheers from the large crowd of spectators many times during the game. Warren's back line playing and shothop pickups were also sensational. Although Lange was not in his usual form he made some hair-raising plays on several occasions.

the energy that they receive from
their feed in developing heat to pro-

conditions it is impossible for them
to develop into fine heavy hogs that
will command good price.
The house shown here is built in
the most modern way and is suited
particularly to the needs OF the man
who is raising hogs for profit and not
because he thinks there should be

slightly toward the center alley, which
has a gutter on each side. The floors
and also the alley can be washed out
with hose whenever it is necessary.
Very often a litter carrier and track
is installed so that the manure can be
handled in the easiest way.
The nets in the pens are raised
above the floor and are made of plank
spaced about a inch apart. These
pianks are generally fastened togeth.
or with a by across each end.
This keeps the planks of the floor so
that they can be kept dry. Cleats are
often nailed TO the walls so that the
nests can be hung up when the house
is being washed out.
The walls are made double, so that
the hogs will be Protected from any
draft. This house is built with 2 by g.
inch studding, which is fastened TO the
foundation by studding sockets. The
outer side of the studdieg is covered
With drop siding, and on the inside
dressed and matched ceiling is used
For the inside finishing wall, board
can also be used. Several of the
wall board concerns are making wall
board that is particularly suited to
this kind of work. Some OF these
brands are disinfected, so that they
will be very satisfactory from a sani.
tary standpoint.
The ceiling is made in the same way
except that the outside is covered
with sheathing, with shingles on top
Of that.
Two rows Of windows are placed
in the ceiling so that the sunshine
can penetrate into all corners OF the
house. These windows are made with
a galvanized iron frame and are gen
orally covered with a heavy screen.
A good ventilating system is pro-
vided, as it is very important that the
hogs have plenty of fresh air. This
air must be obtained without causing
a draft, as drafts are often fatal &c

ing around in the mud and assume
that II he can stand that he can stand
anything. As matter Of fact as all
men know who have handled hogs. the
hog is more susceptible TO diseases
and more often affected by unsanitary
conditions than any other animal on
the farm. The hog looks as though
he could stand cold weather in great
shape because of the large amount OF
fat on him and yet he is more likely
TO be hurt by a draft or exposure
than a COW or horse.
The improved hoghouse has helped
considerably in eliminating disease
and putting the hOg-raising business
on a better paying basis than ever
before. The fact that the hog needs
as careful attention during the winter
as any other kind OF stock has been
impressed on farmers more and more,
and the result is that winter hoghouses

springing up all over the country.
These houses are designed in many
