OF all the franks the crakicst is
the chronic pcssimist. lie is
always whining like half starved
dog with a tin can tied to his tail.
When the sky is clear he is posi-.
lively certain that everything will
dry up and there will be a scare
ity. When the gentle rain begins
to fall he laments and is afraid
the crops will be spoiled. lie is
always expecting some great ca
lamity, misfortune of some kind
or of being laid up with rheuma-
tism. No matter how rosy the
apples look. or how juicy the
pears. he is afraid that they are
wormy at the core and cant be
Kept until Christmas. The coun-
try is going to the bow vows and
everybody is a dirty and dishon-
est rascal. His own peaceful and
progressive town is all right, but
ne is convinced that it will never
increase so very much. The high
church splre is n notable land
mark. hut it might fall down some
day and do great damage. lie

propriety, the representatives Of
the executives returned to the

presidents said if the strike was
to be called on September 1, they

lmagines that they are very hardy and
can forage for themselves because
they will eat anything that is placed
In front of them. Hogs will weather
many bad storms and considerable ex-
posture but, il a man is raising hogs
for profit and not Just to eat up all
the leftover material from the house.
he will protect them and keep them
in good condition. The raising of
hogs is n of the most profitable
phases of farming if hogs are given or.
binary care.
The floor, the foundation. and the
walls up to is inches above grade are
constructed of concrete and are made
solldly together. This construction
positively protects the building from
being infested with vermin and also
makes it possible to wash down the
floor and the lower part of the walls.
which are the most likely to become
dirty. Another advantage of the walls
extended above grade is that it pro-
tects the hogs from a draft, which is
very important.
The hoghouse is, of course, faced
toward the south, SO hat the hogs can
have the benefit Of all the sunshine
That is available. The windows are
built long and extend from about a
loot or two above the concrete to
within 6 inches of the roof. This al.
lows the sunshine to penetrate into
the back orn of the house and
Keeps the interior in a clean, sanitary
condition. More provision should be
made for sunshine in a hoghouse than
In any other farm building.
Small doors are placed under the
windows, SO that the hogs can come
out during the nice weather. A ward
can be built around the house. as
shown in this illustration, or outside
pens a be made. II the pens are
quilt they are often made with con-
crete floors, SO that they can be cas-
lily kept clean. The concrete for these
foors does not have to be of very good
material, as it can be more easily re.
paired than if made in an extensive
way.
In the construction of the hoghouse
the walls and ceilings are made dou.
bic, so as to keep the interior warm
II comfortable. The walls are made
OF 2 by A studding which is placed on
a sill on the concrete side walls. The
connection between the sill and the
wall must be carefully made SO as to
the possibility of drafts.
The outside of the studding is covered
with siding.
The inside can be finished In several
