RULES OF THE HOUSEHOLD
One Woman Writes Out What She
Wants Done and Thereby
Gets Results.

"The reason that we, as homemak-
ers. are obliged to put up with un-
skilled and inefficient assistance is be-
cause we do not do our share in train
ing the raw material" said Mrs. Good
Housewife with some emphasis. Sup
pose the great factories where emf
grant labor is employed should be run
on the system which prevails in so
many homes? Suppose the employer
should say. oh. dear. l just hate to
train a green hand. It takes 80 much
time, and is such bUther!'
What sort of a product would that
factory turn out? How long would that
employer be able to stand the competi-
tion of other factories where a differ
ent method was used? Personally
believe in concrete rules. II q new

suggested it?"
1T is always little dubious, max

thoughtfully.
But Count Okuma is so transpar-

said the American minister. Il really

Japanese doctors are competent to
handle the situation. I won't keep you,
Sir Arthur, but If hear of any devel-

shaking him warmly by the hand
DO you know" he said to me,

Gated Japanese mind. However-here

At five o'clock We were still In Sir

KEEP BROOD MARES WORKING
Ordinary Farm Work Will Not Hurt
Them-Turn Them Out In a Field
Every Pleasant Day.

Pregnant mares can be worked ad-
vantageously right up to foaling time,
says writer. Work should not be too
heavy. but ordinary farm work will
not hurt them. Successful colt raisers
nearly always work their mares and
seldom have trouble with either mare
or colt.
If you have no work, turn them out
N field every nice day. Always be-
very quiet and gentle with mare in
foal. In bad weather she is better of
in the stable.
Fancy feeding 10 not necessary.
Feeding and watering should be quite
regular A horse fed regularly and
fully will seldom eat too much The
best hay for brood mares is mix ed
clover and timothy. Avoid all dam
aged food. Some wheat bran and oats
may be fed, even though the cost is
high. Cut down ON corn as foaling
time approaches.
After the colt is foaled the mare
should not be worked for about ten
days, and then lightly for couple OF
weeks. Care should be taken not to
overwork or overhead her, as this will
cause the milk to be bad and may
cause collie or Indigestion in the colt.
1t is best to leave the colt N The barn
while its mother Is at work.

GOVERNOR LOSES FIGHT ON
CAPP
Appointment Of Shaw Held Void by
Supreme Court Decision.

Denver-Warden NJ. P. Capp of the
State Reformatory was declared
legally entitled to the wardenship in
Supreme Court decision handed
down affirming the decision of Judge
Cavender in the District Court. The
principal question of law determined
by the Supreme Court is that where
an office is statutory and not con-
stitutional the people, as a part of
the legislature. may take from the
state senate the power to confirm
appointments made by the governor.
The decision. however, does not
definitely settle the fight for the re-
formatory wardenship which has
been in progress since Governor Carl
son year ago appointed Richard
Shaw of Buena Vista and Warden
Capp refused to give up the place on
the ground that he is protected by
the civil service.
Since the case decided was filed
Governor Carlson has ordered Capp's
removal and again appointed Shaw.
A suit growing out of this case is
now pending in the courts. Since the
original suit, also, the Supreme Court
has upheld the new civil service law.
This offers further question as to
whether under 1t Capp is protected
by civil service.
The Supreme Court refused an ap.
plication for rehearing on the new
civil service law and also on the suit

Plenty of sunshine is better and
cheaper than buying medicine for the
hogs.
Fresh air is also an essential fea.
ture Of any well-constructed hoghouse
Every farmer knows how soon the air
in the ordinary pig shed becomes foul
when filled with hogs. Hence to In
sure healthy hogs some provision for
ventilation must be made. This is
provided for In the plans shown by
the four ventilators, two on each side,
in addition to the ventilation secured
from the side windows and doors.
These ventilators are especially valu-
able during the cold weather in the
winter when the doors and windows
are closed for protection from the
cold.

are % by 26 feet. It contains ten sep
arate pens each feet Z inches by Z

alley feet inches wide running the
full length Of the building between
the two rows OF pens.
There is an outside door at each end
of the alley. Then a door opens out
ward into the alley from each pen, 30
that the hogs may be separated and
shipped from one pen to another with
convenience inside the building.
Each pen is also supplied with an
outside door SO that separate runs or
yards may be built on the outside for
each. In decent weather this door
could be left open SO that the pigs
could have the use of the outside run

Such house is especially adapted
