Seventy years ago Thomas Carlyle

years ago he proposed to take Great

lands of the Canadian Northwest, in
stead of allowing free trade or free

The average person has the idea
that the hog IS about the toughest an
inal on the farm and needs very lit
tie attention. They see him wallow-
ing around in the mud and assume
that If he can stand that he can stand
anything AS a matter of fact, as all
men know who have handled hogs, the
hog is more susceptible to diseases
ard 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 draft or exposure
than cow or horse.
The improved hoghouse has helped
considerably in eliminating disease
and putting the hog-raising business
on 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
of modern sanitary construction are
sspringing up all over the country.
These houses are designed in many
different ways, and many different
styles have given the best sort of re-
suits The accompanying floor plan

STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS
Reprinted by request.)

Strangers and pilgrim through the world we wander,
Like exiles longing for their native land
And all longing for the sweet rest yonder
The homesick hearts OF earth will understand.
Pilgrims and strangers, YEARLY we roam
But in Gods good time well all get home.
Strangers and pilgrims When, like souls benghted,
We grope through darkness for our Fathers hand,
Lol just ahead see the heaven-lamps lighted,
To guide footsteps TO the Fatherland
Be patient while little time roam
At eventide will come the gathering home
o rapurous thought! Beyond the world OF sorrow,
Beyond the hills OF earth where roam
Wen find the rest OF God some glad tomorrow,
And all dear ones, safe in Gods sweet home
Be patient heart, till he shall call 10 thee
Come home to dwell forevermore with mef

ROADS AND TRANSFORMATION

Importance Of Roads

Roads are a fairly good index TO
the prosperity of community.
The people depend on them very
largely for markets for produce,
for the necessities in the home, for
good farm implements, for the ex-
change Of grains, fruits, stock and
other things among one another.
Every farmer who goes 10 market,
or TO mill, who hauls logs, cross-ties,
tan-bark, crushed limestone, bricks,
cement, potatoes, or anything else
that he has TO sell or anything that
he needs for building a house, a
fence or barn must travel the road
in some kind OF vehicle. II the
road is good and the weather fine
he makes the necessary trip in a
very short time. He saves his team,
his wagon and harness, his time,
his money. He reaches the market
with his produce in good condition.
sells il at a good price and returns
home with his furniture unscarred
and his tableware unbroken.
How Bad Roads Cause Loss
But IL the road is bad he looses
much time in getting around mud
holes or around rough places.
Parts OF his wagon are jostled loose
and perhaps lost, his team is tired
out and the harness broken. He
reaches the market with the apples
or peaches crushed, the potatoes
badly skinned and bruised and is
forced 10 sell at a reduced price.
Or he was so badly delayed that the
other farmer beat him 10 market
and supplied the demand for fruits
and vegetables.
II he starts with a heavy load OF
lumber, wheat or cross-ties he will
in all probability get stuck in a mud
hole or stalled at a steep hill. Here
he will loose time and patience, beat
his team and fall out with the road
over-seer, the county court and the
community in general because the
road is not kept in better condition.
II he buys a sack OF -four, CEN
ter table or a bowl and pitcher he
