To make hog production most profit
able, the farmer should provide pas
ture for his hogs whenever possible.
The earlier in the year green feed can
be supplied the better. Swine of any
age relish green feed, and its use al
ways reduces the cost of produc-
ing gains on hogs. In addition, 1t
keeps the animals in good, thrifty con-
dition. The information given in this
article, however, applies only to the
northern part Of the United States,
particularly those states and sections
of states lying north of parallel 80.
The best crops to seed in early
spring are wheat, oats, rye, barley,
rape, Canadian field peas and vetch.
Any of the cereals do we'll planted
singly or in combination with rape,
Canadian peas and vetch. In certain
sections, where these crops will sur
vive the winter, they can be sown the
previous fall. In sections where 1t Is
impossible to maintain a stand over
winter, the crops mentioned can be
sown in early spring as soon as the
ground is fit.
The pigs should be turned in to pas
ture the cereal crops when the plants
attain a height of about six to eight
inches, and taken off when the plants
reach such a height that the pigs be-

Floor Plan Of Bungalow.

a full measure of return in the way of
good appearance for every dollar ip-
vested.
The use of several materials in the
finish of houses has come to be quite
common practice. There is certainly
a possibility of sidestepping the mo-
notony of large wall areas by facing
the walls with more than one material.
Both the color and the character Of
surface may be varied in this way, and
many pleasing combinations may be
found.
Among the class of houses which
depend upon the combination of diff
ferent materials for their exterior fin
fish, the little bungalow shown here
is somewhat different from the ordi-
nary. The finishing materials used in
this Ease are shingles and stucco on
the walls of the house and ornamental
brick and stucco in the chimney. The
method of proportioning the different
materials over the walls is distinc-
tive. The stucco is applied in a wide
belt around the house in line with the
main floor windows. Beginning at the
top of this belt and carried down to
the water table, the chimney is finished
with stucco. Above the belt orna-
mental face brick are used in the chiru-
ney. .

very artistic In itself, is greatly aided

DAIRY
PROFITS IN DAIRY BUSINESS
Unfortunate That Farmers Can Make
Living Even When They Are
Losing Money on Herd.

It is unfortunate for dairy farmers
that they cannot always tell how
much they are making or losing with
out a great deal of study and investi-
CATION. 1t is also unfortunate that
they are losing money or their herd.
If it were possible to Immediately de-
termine the profits and losses in the
dairy business farmers would not con
tinue to lose money when they think
they are making a little. Men who
care only for Il living are usually sat
isfied If they get it some way or other
and such men are slow to realize what
they are losing by maintaining an I'M
profitable herd Of cattle.
The remedy for the situation Is to
charge up the products of the farm to
the cows who are eating the products.
Test every cow and know what sha
can do, breed to a purebred dairy bull
and improve the herd and then dis
pense with the boarders. There is no
mystery about how u man can lose
money on the dairy business and still
make a living. He does not make the
living from dairying.

IS RUN BY STEAM
NEW MACHINE SAID TO BE A
COMPLETE SUCCESS.
Embodies Best Features Of Both Gas
and Steam cars-Has Great Speed
Capacity With Practically
No Engine Vibration.

AS q result of prolonged expert
ments, a Detroit inventor has devel-
oped a steam-pOwer automobile which
seems to Obviate most of the Objec-
lions usually presented by vehicles Of
Its type. In a general way It embodies
many of the best features Of both gas
and steam cars. BY turning a switch
and opening the throttle, the car is
started almost instantly. There are no
gears, levels, or clutch to operate,
while unlimited flexibility is afforded.
From a snail's pace to a speed of so
miles an hour, the car is said to run
practically without engine vibration.
There Is no noise, and nothing to
watch but the road. So far as appear
ance Is concerned, the machine would
ordinarily be mistaken for a gasoline
car. Fourteen miles can be covered
with a gallon of kerosene. The steam
Is condensed after being used, and
saved. This makes it possible to travel
from 1900 to 1000 miles without re-
plenishing the water supply. The for
nation Of scale or rust in the boiler
is prevented, since the lubricating oil
is carried to the engine by the steam.
Thus the inside of the tubes is con-
stantly coated with a thin film of oil.
The experimental car has been driven
333, 900 miles during the last three years
without repairs, and is claimed to be
in perfect running condition. The fuel
is vaporized, mixed with air in a car
buretor. heated, and burned in a spe-
cially designed combustion chamber.
A small electric blower supplies the
necessary volume Of air, while the
ignition is accomplished electrically.
The latter is the striking feature of
the system, for it relieves the driver Of
the necessity Of giving attention or
labor to the matter of firing the boiler.
In case the car stands inactive for sew
eral days, about a minute and a half is
required in starting it. If, however, 1t
has merely been idle owe night, or dur
ing a corresponding period, it starts at
once.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

to be fastened to the hub of the wheel,
At the front and rear end of this run
ner IS mounted a small wheel resem-
bling a gear. These are so placed that
their spikes or cOgs engage with those
on the special tire tread just as the
cOgs of two spur gear wheels engage
each other. In this way these two
small auxiliary wheels keep the cogs
OF spikes of the car wheel from filling
up and becoming smooth as the shod
foot Of a horse becomes filled up with
a "snOwball." This insures that the
car wheels shall have good traction
at all times, and also prevents danger
Of the wheels slipping from side to
side. The purpose of the inventor
seems to be, to give the same "sure
fOotedness" to the car on slippery win
ter roads which is to be had by use
of tire chains, and still to give the
greater smoothness of riding to the
passengers to be had with sleds as

Prefers Cows to Pigs.

The parent of Brooks, age eight,
keep a boarding house. By way of ap-
probation of three regular meals a
day and a roof that does not leak,
Brooks occasionally helps serve the
guests. He is a serious child, whose
sense of humOr is of the English va
riety, and the guests enjoy teasing him.
'There isn't any milk for you to
drink. Mother says it's so scarce she
can only serve it at breakfast" Brooks
informed the milk topper recently.
"Oh, that's all right" the topper re-
piled, genially. "In fact, I'm thinking
of buying a COW, anyway. There's only
one thing that bothers me"-and he
winked at his companion across the
table. "Should l bring the COW with
me to meals?"
The question was put so seriously
that Brooks FASTENED to his mother
for advice.
In a few minutes he returned beam

In external finish the bungalow

which, no doubt, have had considerable
weight in causing this type of house to
come into such popular demand. The
atmosphere of home is very easily
brought into the design, and almost
any of the common building materials

some desired detail of finish. For the

tible part of the plant, increases rap
idly as the plants grow larger. Green
wheat, oats, rye and barley are gen.
orally classified as carbonaceous
roughages. When young, however,
these contain a high percentage of
protein, and should be classified rs nj
trogenous r%Oughages in the early
stages of growth. Because the small
grains when young are so nutritious
and are green when frost has killed
clover, they are ideal plants to grow
for pigs during late fall and early
spring.
Canadian Field Peas.
Canadian field peas, when sown in
conjunction with some other kind of
grain Goats, rye, etc.) make an excel
lent early crop for hogs. The seed
should be sown in April or early May,
and If conditions ire right the crop
will be ready to pasture in about thirty
or forty days. Hogs clean up the peas
and vines very well. The vines that
are left on the ground, together with
the manure, enrich the soil and add
more humus to it. The great value of
peas as a pasture for swine is far toe
little understood.

Hairy vetch is a legume of increas-
ing importance, especially as a forage
for hogs. 1t flourishes to a surprising

important That Farmer Should
Know How to Handle and
Dress Wounds on Animals. :,
(By L.. s. BACKUS.)
First aid Is most important.


Quick healing leaves smaller scars.
Don't use dust or lime to stop bleed
ing
Bleeding that can be stopped with
powders will Don stop itself anyhow.
Frequent washing irritates wounds,
prevents prompt healing, and may
cause proud flesh. Small concealed
stab wounds, such as those from nails,
are the most likely to cause death.
Find them and keep them clean and
well disinfected.
Swab out deep cuts with pure tine
ture of iodin as soon as it a be Sc
cured and they will take care of them
selves then if the normal pus discharge
Is removed.
ANlong-continued discharge from a
wound indicates an abscess pocket, q
bone injury, or the presence of a snag
or something else that should not be
in the wound. Call a veterinarian.
AS soon as bleeding has been
stopped, wash the wound with a pint
of warm water to which two teaspoon
fuls of creolin, lysol, carbolic acid, or
some similar disinfectant has been
added.
A wound should be healed in about
three weeks. If 1t Is doing well the
swelling will gradually 60 down, and
the discharge will be odorless. thin.
and bloody at first, and thicker and

Antitoxin will prevent lockjaw at
ter nail or other puncture wounds. II

Jaw cases ever The hard
crust lime forms over the surface of
a wound favors lockjaw by shutting
out the air.
Bleeding from a leg can always be
stopped by tying a small rope loosely
about the wound, then twisting 1t
with a stick or small rod. Tighten till
bleeding stops. Apply bandages and
remove the cord if possible. If band
ages cannot be applied, prevent seri-
Gus bleeding by pressing the fingers
against the cut blood vessels until q
veterinarian can be called.

trip, from Tangier on the Atlantic
coast to the inland city of Fee, was
made by the Tangier automobile dis
tributor in a touring car The dis
lance covered totaled over 500 miles
and the time spent en- route occupied
from July % till August 2. The trip
is particularly interesting in that it
marks the first passage of any vehicle
on wheels between the two cities, and
marks the first entry of an automobile
into the ancient and sacred capital Of
the Moors.

by the various smaller details Of ex-
terlOr finish carried through the de-
sign. Because shingles look best for
wall finish when they are stained some
dark tint, the preferable color scheme
for this bungalow would probably be
found In the use of dark-stained
shingles, gray stuccO and pure white
trim. The molding used Mt the junction
of the shingles and stucco is carried
across the porch, around the chimney
and along the top edge of the flower
box built under the large front window.
The decoration of the porch columns,
although very simple, is effective. The
roof of low-pitch type, Is sufficiently
elaborate to harmonic with other
parts of the design. On the extended
end of the porch a pergola roof Is car
ried out under the caves of the main
roof, and three-column supports are
used at each corner.
The room arrangements afford every
convenience that could be desired in a
five-room bungalow. A hall through
the center Of the house from the front
door to the bathroom makes 1t pos
sible to enter any room but the pan
try from the outside without going
through other rooms. The basement
and attic are also reached from this
hall.
The living room Is a square room,
along the side wall Of which a brick
fireplace and two bookcases are built.
The cased entrance from the hall is
G a one corner of the room. This Is
an advantage from the standpoint of
interior decoration, because the cor
ner entrance does not break up the
wall space where 1t may be used for
pictures and other purposes. The ar
rangement of furniture in a living
room opposite the fireplace offers a
large unobstructed space for some
large pieces of furniture, such as a
piano or Il davenport.
The dining room Is across the hall
from the living room. In this room,
which is made slightly longer than it
Is wide-a convenience when the table
Is extended to accommodate guests
all projecting corners are eliminated.
The china closet Is built into the walls,
with its doors flush, thus taking no
space in the dining room. Back from
this room is the pantry and kitchen.
The pantry is well fitted with cup
board, shelves and table, to save steps
for the housewife.
There are two bedrooms, each of

Too Many Careless Drivers.

Observations have been made to
record care shown by automobile
drivers and in $4,000 instances the
following results were noted: 80 per
cent looked neither way before pass
ing over a grade crossing; 8 per cent
looked one way only, and ia motor
car drivers (about half of 1 per cent?
actually stopped their machines be-
fore proceeding to pass V the cross
ing. These figures show that few
men of undoubted intelligence display
the necessary caution that may save
their lives, limbs and property, by
simply waiting a moment or two to al
low the train to pass.

URGE REGULARITY WITH cow
Does Her Best Only When MIXED at
Equal and Stated Periods Of
About Twelve Hours.

The COW can do her best only when
MIXED at equal and regular daily Pc
RODS of about twelve hours each the
year around. The full supply of milk
is not in the udder ready to be drawn
out before milking time comes, but
some Of it Is produced by the glands
during the operation of milking. The
udder, however, is usually filled and
the cow becomes accustomed to this.
but If the operation Of milking is de-
layed and glands cease to some ex-
tent to secrete milk, they will then
not be stimulated to good activity dur.
ing the process of milking. This in
jures the glands and produces a de-
crease in the milk flow.

attention TO SOWS
BEFORE NARROWING
Animal Does Best When Kept in
Healthy Condition-Avoid
Heavy Corn Feeding.

The way q SOW is handled before
narrowing has much to do with the
value of her litter, according to the
University Of Nebraska Agricultural
college.
The sow does best when she is kept
in healthy condition, but is not al
lowed to become too fat. Heavy corn
feeding makes sows fat, and they are
not likely to produce large, healthy
pigs. For this reason, breeding stock
must be separated from fattening pigs
If best results are secured, Feeds
that produce bone and muscle are
best. Any one Of the following ra-
tons, supplemented by alfalfa hay In

The bungalow has done a great deal
to promote home construction during
recent years In this country. The ap-
peal of a neat little bungalow Is strong

himself to get into the habit Of rent

feared the cost than for any other. A
great many more homes of the bunga-
low type would be built If every man
who has u firm desire for n home
would go to an architect or contractor
and get the information which will en-
able him to figure the proposition out
in a logical manner

be turned on the rape until the plants
are at least ten inches high. Rape
Is a very satisfactory forage plant for
hogs, because it grows rapidly and is
a cheap green feed.
f. Grain for Hogs on Pasture.
While the cost Of producing pork
may be reduced by the use Of green
feed, 1t Is desirable to feed grain in
addition. There is no time that grain
can be so profitably fed to a hog as
when he is young and running on pas
ture. Under such conditions it is pos
sible to secure Is pounds Of gain for
each bushel of grain fed. During the
spring, summer and early fall months
from one-half to three-fourths Of q
full feed Of grain will be sufficient for
hogs running OF pasture.

One-half of the total value of all kinds

that the value of tires is nearly 40 per
cent Of the total. The Goodyear Tire
and Rubber company, Akron, uses 10
per cent of the total worlds produc-
ton of crude rubber.

of the children who drink the milk
n qualified veterinarian should be
called upon to inspect and test each
COW every year.
With the assurance of a healthy cow,
she should be housed in a clean, well
lighted shed and provided with a clean
yard in which to exercise. The milk
should be drawn into a clean, small
topped milk pail and kept cool until
consumed.
Milk and spoils because of the
bacteria which enter it with dirt from
the COW and from pals not thoroughly
washed. Keeping these bacteria out
of the milk and preventing their
growth by keeping the milk cool, are
easy and efficient means of procuring

lenuthen Tire Use.

Probably two-thirds of the expense
incurred in operating an automobile is
by tire upkeep. There are many things
that drivers can do to lengthen the
life of their tires, but it is impossible
to get the most out Of a tire without
the use of a tire tester and a small
vulcanizer that will repair small cuts
and injuries in castings. A repairman
is not always on hand and such a
small %vulcanizer may save serious in
convenience.
