FAIRIES AND NYMPHS

One night in the fall of the year,
when the leaves were falling in show
ers from the trees. the fairies wan
dered down by the river.
The queen had always told them to
keep away from the water, whether it
was river, an ocean or lake, for the
water nymphs hold full sway there
and they should not intrude
But the little fairies saw the pig
leaves floating over the surface. and
they looked so attractive IN the moon
light they could not resist the tempta-
tion to take sail.
81 do not believe the nymphs could
catch u.s.. said one, I'VE can sail so
fast and then they are asleep at this
hour" And soon they were gliding
along like so many flowers; their little
wings were like tiny sails and made
them go very fast.
But the water nymphs were soon
aware that someone was in their do
main. and the first thing the fairies
knew the smooth surface of the water
became like little waves and the
leaves and their passengers tipped in
the most threatening manner.
"Oh, dear!" cried the fairies. sup
pose we tip over" The water splashed

riers are both handled on one track
that runs down between the two rows
of pens. This concentrates all the
work in one alley, which simplifies
the handling Of the work to a large
extent.
The fences that divide up the out
side pens are placed two inches above
the concrete, so that the cleaning can
be taken care Of The yard can be
placed on slight slope and the ma
nure can then conveniently ba
scraped toward the low corner A pit
can be dug for the manure spreader
at this corner so that the loading will
be easy or it can be driven up to the
corner and filed in the usual way.

When the hoghouse is wanted there is
nothing that will take its place. This
is especially true at farrowing time,
when the sows must be kept warm
and comfortable
The upper row of sash that fur
nishes the light for the back part OF
the house is pivoted about its center

double, having prepared roofing over
the rafters. This insulates the roof SO
that the hogs will have no trouble in
keeping the house warm.

and the most successful is shown in
the illustration. The roof is made in
what is known as saw-tooth style. In
this way the sunlight is admitted to
the back corners of the house and
will assist materially in keeping the
floors clean and in good sanitary con-
dition
The floor, foundations, and walls
are made of concrete. In the pens a
wooden, movable floor is placed so
that the hogs will not have to lie on
the concrete. The floors can be easily
taken up so that cleaning is not in
terfered with in any way. The NOV
able floor is made of 2 by As spaced
one-fourth inch apart Another by
is nailed under the floor at the ends
and a l by is placed over the floor
at the ends. These planks hold the
floor together so that it can be re-
moved at one piece.
The floor of the feeding pen can
also be made of concrete, but a very
lean mixture can be used for this pur-
pose. Bank-run gravel can be used,
and the floor should be divided into
slabs as in sidewalk work, as the con-
traction and expansion will cause the
concrete to crack unless some sort of
joints are provided. In handling
this kind of concrete plenty of water

should be used and the concrete
should be well mixed before it is
placed. A mixer driven by a gasoline
engine will save time, though the mix
ing can be done by hand. Such
floor will not be suitable for road,
but when used for feeding purposes it
will last long time.
Special feeding devices have to be
developed for hogs. They are not like
other farm animals, as the well-bred
hogs do not have long necks or noses
and cannot reach for their feed the
way horses and cattle do. A special
device is used in between the stalls in
order to make hay available for feed
ing. This is hay rack with hinged
sides. When the side is pushed in the
supply of hay is cut off and when
the slide falls back to it's original po-
sition the hay once mora falls down
within reach. This arrangement pre-
vents the hogs from scattering the
hay around the way they generally do.
The pens are equipped with swing
ing fronts so that the hogs can be
readily transferred from one pen to an
other. The pens are. also equipped
with removable partitions so that the
size of the various pens can be
changed readily. The small pen doors
that lead out into the yard can be
closed so as to be almost airtight. The
house can thus be kept warm in very
cold weather. The warmth of the
hogs will keep the temperature almost
uniform all the time Ventilation is
taken care of by the two small venti-
lators placed on the roof. one at each
end.

Furnishing the fairies that they had
sailed into the ocean without knowing
1t.
What are you doing here without
my permission?'' asked Neptune. The
nymphs hung their heads.
And who are these little crea-
tures?" he asked.
Please, sir, we are the fairies" said
one. And then she told him how they
were sailing on the river and the
nymphs caught them.
And we are so frightened said
another. "and our wings and pretty
dresses are wet and our queen will be-
angry"
"She may take away our wands,'
said another, and they all began to
cry.
"Oh, do not cry said Neptune, put
ting his hands over his ears, do stop,
and l will try to help you. Why, see
here" he said, why do you not use
your wands?"
I'VE thought we couldn't on the wa

"Of course you can," said Neptune;

Presto, there was an island with a
fairy standing on it.
Now reach out with your wands
and bring the islands together in

said Neptune: now run about and dry
your wings and clothes" Neptune
next called the nymphs around him
and told them he would forgive them
for coming to the ocean without per-
mission if they would forgive the
fairies and take them safely home.
The nymphs gladly agreed to this,
and soon they had large shells for the
fairies to sit in. 81 shall leave this
island" said Neptune. I'VE will call
it fairy island, and when you see this
you will remember you are beyond
your rivers limit And you and the
fairies must be good friends also.
They all promised to be on friendly
terms after this, and the fairies. whose
wings and dresses were dry and

in the shells The nymphs drew them
along and by the time they reached

Wool chinchilla in dark colors is

TAXATION RUN MAD
Democratic Party Wrong in Prin.
cipIe.
People Will Soon Tire of the Burden
some System of Raising Revenue,
and Turn to Republicans
for Relief.

BY next fall the whole country will
be awake to the economic mistake Of
imposing taxes on salaries, incomes of
every kind, instead of raising revenue
to support the government by impos-
ing a tariff tax on foreign-made goods
in order to protect our home market
for our own products. America will
soon come to the condition of England
century ago described by states
man in speech in parliament. 1t ran
something like this: A taxed farmer
drives taxed cart, pulled by taxed
horse, in taxed harness. guided by
taxed reins, driven by a taxed whip.
over taxed road, the farmer sitting
on a taxed cushion on a taxed seat,
wearing taxed clothes.
We are to have a recrudescence of
the taxes imposed necessary to carry
on the war on about every instrument
used in every kind of business. AL
ready there is a tax on every deed
passing piece of property from one
hand to another, on every mortgage
negotiated to raise the money. on
! every note OF hand put into the bank.
Now we are to have tax on bank
checks, possibly on receipts for gro
ceries.
The people are tired of this bur-
| den of direct taxation, which is felt
like boil on the end of ones nose
every time he has to pay cent or :.
| dollar in this way of taxation. Indi-
rect taxation is never felt so burden
some as the direct kind.
The people are seeing and feeling
this, and will see to it that the Ameri-
can party with the real American prin-
ciples for Americas good is restored
to power, and then with the good old

and to give him definite purposes at
an important period in his life.
Z. To furnish to the aggressive, pro-
gressive rural schoolteacher an oppor-
tunity to vitalize the work of the
school by correlating the teaching of
agriculture with actual practice.
The aim Of the boys club work is
the same as that among men-viz. to
secure the adoption of better methods
of farming and greater yields at less
cost. Many of the boys in the clubs
who begin to study agriculture in this
way will continue the study in the ag-
ricultural colleges; others will con-
tinue such efforts on their farms, and
all of them will make more useful and
more efficient citizens. From the pleas
ant and profitable experience of own
ing and managing their small plats.
they will develop into independent, in
telligent farmers.

Where Present Tariff Law Fails.

Most of the Democrats in Congress
admit freely that the present tariff
law has not been successful in rails
ing revenue The official evidence
Of this is found in the presidents rec
ommendation that the free-sugar
clause be suspended. Official admis-
sion has also been made that this
country faces the grave danger in
volved in the deliberate dumping of
cheap labor products on the American
market following the close of the
war. Foreign nations have been
known to encourage the selling of
their goods at extremely low prices
to the United States, at times even
at a loss, in order to drive American
interests out of the market.

that are well worth while; one is the

Republican Victory Sure.

The vital issue upon which the Re-
publicans will win the election next
year is protection. This is a country
that must have a protective tariff. It
are different from the workmen of Eu-
rope. They are used to better things
than the laborers of Europe, and they
can continue in their comfortable sur
roundings, keep carpets on their floors
and have beef to eat and pianos to pro-
vide amusement only under a protec-
tive tariff system. Free trade will
mean their ruin, and when it comes to
voting next year these men will re-
turn the Republican party to power.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY BOYS
Prizes Of City Life Hold No Allure
ments for Metropolitan Lad
Not Worth Striving For.

Speaking of the curious fact that
city boys seem to have greater phys
ical stamina than country boys, there
is also the Civil war tradition that it
was the city boys who stood priva-
tions, long marches and other physical
strains better than the country boys.
What makes the country boy out
strip his city competitor must be his
ambition to win the prizes of city
life which dangle so alluringly before
his eyes, whereas to the familiar vi
sion of the city boy they appear as
mere matters of course, hardly worth
having and certainly not worth ex-
ceeding strife and self-sacrifice.

The principal objects to be attained
through the promotion of boys agri-
cultural clubs in the South, as defined
by those in charge of this work, are:
l. To encourage and train boys
along the lines of the activities of
country life.
2. To put into practice the facts of
scientific agriculture obtained from
books, bulletins. etc.
3. To bring the school life of the
boy into closer relationship to his
home life.
4. To assist in the development of
the spirit of cooperation in the fami-
ly and in the community.
s. To dignity and magnify the voca-
tion of the farmer by demonstrating
the returns which may be secured
from farming when it is properly con-
Quoted.
6. To enlarge the vision of the boy

Facts Worth considerina,

There was a drop in United States
exports in the 1914 period of $101,-
100000 from the 1928 figures, while
for the 1914-15 period there was
gain of s1,O1O,OO0,OO0 over the previ-
GUS year under the Democratic tariff
law. Had there been no war there is
small probability that our export trade
for the 1914-15 period would have ex-
ceeGed that of the 1894 period. In
all likelihood, under the depressing
effect of Democratic free trade, 1t
would hare been still less.

Wrong in Substance.

The administration in it's policies

but not the form. There would be no
complaint from protectionists if the
form suggested by the administration
were really as effective as protective
duties levied at the customhouses.
Unfortunately, however, attempts to
reach the real offenders under an
antidumping law will be futile. A pro-
tective tariff is a preventive measure,
while an anti-dumping law is a puni-
tive measure. American manufactur-
ers will agree that in this case, as
in most others, an ounce of preven-
tion is worth pound of cure.

Sunshine is one of the most i'm

living quarters must be kept in the

best way to secure such conditions is
by having plenty of sunlight in all

the hoghouse should be faced toward
