PRACTICAL LITTLE
 HINTS ON HOG CARE
Muddy Pens Are DisagreeabIe to Animals-Giye Runts Atten-
 tion-Give Pigs Charcoal.
Dy W. D. NEALL, ColoradoJ

CBy W. D. NEALL. Colorado.)
 Birds, dogs or men may carry hog cholera from one farm to another.
 Burning the hog that has died of some disease is the only sure method of preventing contagion.
 The hog that has been allowed to sleep in the old straw stack will soon cough his health away.
 Hogs of all ages and sizes do not thrive when allowed to pile up to- gether.
 Muddy pens are dsagreeabie to the hogs. Watch the hog pick the ear of corn out of the mud and seek a dry place to eat it and you will be fully convinced of this fact.
 It pays to separate the runts from the herd and give them special atten- tion. By this method you make them profitable hogs.
 Slops should not be carried from the kitchen to the hogpen if the good housewife uses all kinds of wash pow ders in the dish water, for many of them arc poisonous.
 Purs skim milk is good for the growing pigs Put . little bran with it and it will be the richer. Do not give much sour milk to very young pigs for fear of the SCOUTS.
 The dog that 'woois" the ears of the hogs or tears their hams should bs kept away from the herd even fl the hogs do get through the fence into the cornheld or meadow.
 Keep charcoal, salt and ashes be- fors the pigs all the time. and it will mean death to worms or bowel trou- bla.
 Put . teaspoonful of soda In the sov's slop, and it will be beneficial to the pigs an1icted with the SCOUTS.
 Pies look good in . field of alfalfa, clover or rape, and best of all they do weIl while running there.
 The pig that is weaned will squeal around . good deal. Tho only way to shut oR his squeal is to nll his stomach with food.
 Kick the pigs away from the straw stack. Don't let them sleep there. Tho straw rick is . good place to contract the cholera.

RAINFALL EFFECTS ON YIELD
rhers Are Many Practical Methods Of Holding Spring Rains Which Are
 Usually Abundant

The amount of rainfall during July and August practically determines the size of the corn and root crops. If the rainfall is below normal or below the requirements of these crops. the yield is cut short. and is in some in stances Q failure. It Is also we'll known fact that even in years of in. sufficient rainfall. some farmers grow crops above the average.
 As farmers, we cannot change the amount of rainfall by any methods that are practicable. But there are practical methods of holding the spring rains which are usually abun dant. Of these methods deep blowing. thorough narrowing and rolling be- fore planting is by far the best and most practical If cultivation is giv. en at the right time and is thorough the ground will be so deep. finely pull verized. not only on the surface. but several inches below the surface, that 1t will be capable of holding a large amount of water. The fine top soil will act as a mulch to prevent evap- oration in hot weather. Farmers are coming to see the importance of hay ing a thick grass and clover sod, which may be plowed in the fall or in the early spring. for their corn and potatoes.
 The three-horse blow. the steel disk and the spring harrow will make a deep. mellow bed sc. .hc roots tc spread out and run deep for their plant food and moisture needed to make the grain and the roots.
 A rich. routed sod is equal to a heavy dressing of rich routed manure: this is the best method to follow. es- pecially for corn and potatoes.

DeveIopino Siberia,

4 number of new commercial enter prises have recently been undertaken in northeast Siberia. Many iodine works have been established in the neighborhood of vladivostok. on the shore of the Japanese sea. the iodine being made from seaweed found there in abundance. An interesting distil- lery for ether has been opened, the bulk of the ingredients being violets and iris blossoms from the Ussuri countryside. A good deal of amber is being collected from the beach along the coast of the Premorsk. and many new salt workings have been opened in the government of Irkutsk and in the Lena hinterland in the vicinity of Viluisk.

much actual use, but even in such a case it is the greatest factor in dress ing up the building and adding to it's appearance. A rather plain house can be made very handsome and attrac- tive by an artistic porch design.
 The porch is built under the main roof so that it gives the built-in ef- feet. The pillars and the foundation of the porch are made of cement bricks finished with a rough face. The railing is made of concrete slabs along the top and has pillars supporting it made of smooth-faced cement brick. The chimney is also made of an in-

 The bungalow is built high enough above the ground so that a good base ment can be provided. By making the roof fairly fiat and by building over hanging caves the bungalow effect is not lost, though the floor is not built near the ground level. The useful ness of the basement is increased be- cause of the addition of an outside entrance, which makes the basement much more accessible from the out side. The outside entrance is often demanded by people who are building their homes.

Many little details enter into the makeup of a house and determine the impression that the average observer receives in looking at it. The porch on tine house shown nere viii perhaps cause more effect on every one than any other exterior feature. It's rather hard to describe just why a thing looks cozy. but this porch certainly has an inviting, cozy appearance. This is probably due to the broad. low roof and the heavy pillars at the corners of the porch and at each side of the front stairs. The heavy construction of the porch railing between the pillars also gives an artistic touch to the porch.

years to 60. This is ten years longer
than the Swiss term. Otherwise the
Australians took their system largely
from Swiss models. :
Military training begins in the
schools, when every boy of II (un-
less physically unfft) becomes a
member of the junior cadet corps.
There he has physical development
exercises Is minutes in each school
day, elementary marching drill, mini
ature rifle shooting, swimming, run
ming and instruction in first aid.
At IA the Australian boy passes in
to the senior cadet corps and has
every year lin uniformly not less than
four whole day drills of six hours
each, II halliday drills of three hours
each, and ~ night drills of an hour
and half each. He now has form
of service rifle and is trained at tar
get shooting.
At 10 he becomes a member of the
citizen forces, where he has every
year 10 whole days of training, of
which at least eight must be in camp.
At rs he passes into the reserve
and joins rifle club to keep his prac-
tice up to the mark. When the war
broke there were about $4,000 men,
bers of rifle clubs.
Privates are eligible for promotion
to be non-commissioned officers and
these in turn may win commissions.
A war college like West Point, with
admission open to all on competitive
examination, is part of the plan.

posed to universal military training,
but Workingrnen in Australia are not
in the least opposed to it. In fact,
they fastened it upon their country.
The Australian Labor Party had long
been in favor of citizen soIdiery, and
when in 1909 that Party gained COM
pIete control of the government, it
was Labor Minister of Defense,
George F. Pearse, that devised the
plan and a Labor administration that
pushed it through to success. George
F. Pearse, union carpenter, is one
of the big men of these times.
The Pearse plan went into effect
January 1, 1916.
Sydney, Australian metropolis,
with about 100000 inhabitants, is one
of the most sophisticated cities on,
earth. Sydney viewed Pearee's ideas
with amused tolerance.
Eight months later there was a
parade in. Sydney Of one class of the
new recruits-19, 1000 of them, the
largest parade Sydney had ever seen.
The native Australian is a tall, big
Doned man or impressive appearance.
Nineteen thousand Sydney young
men marched throuh the streets in
their new uniforms, and the city went
wild at the sight.
When the war suddenly burst upon
the country, thousands of Pearce's
trained troops sailed away to capture
the German strongholds in the Pa
cific, and save Egypt.
A system so new and revolution
airy could not be introduced in a
lump. Minister Pearce planned that
by 1919 he would have 10000 well
skilled and equipped men. The war
forced his hand. He has more than
that now.
