per cent amounts to $1110 for every SOW pen, and the annual cost of each pen, including interest, depreciation, repairs, and insurance, would be about S27, which is amply sufficient to pay for g good pen outright. It is hard to see how such a building can evey pay for itself
 A large house should always stand east and west, facing the south, so that the maximum amount of sunshine may be had in each pen. When a double house is used, the outside pens on the north are often of little use in early spring and late fall on ac count of the shade and the cold winds. This difficulty can be partially over come, however, by changing sows so that those which have not farrowed and those with the oldest pigs, which have least need of the warm pens, are on the north side
 In the majority of large hog houses the upper windows are not so placed that the sunshine will strike the floor when it is most needed there. h. deed, hog house with the windows in the proper position is rarely seen Direct sunshine should strike the floor in every pen for as many hours in the day as possible at the time when the pigs are farrowed. Nearly everyone realizes this is a matter of the great. est importance, but too often the build CT does not take the trouble to find out whether he is getting it or not. Ordinarily the farmer has no means of ascertaining where to put the win. dows so as to get the maximum amount of sunshine at the time he wants it, unless he happens to be building just at that time, which Is very unusual The country Is dotted with hog houses in which the owner

care for them early in March. Early March pigs are large enough to begin to eat as soon as pasture is ready and thus get the longest possible pasture season, and can be expected to make more pork from grass than is possible for later pigs. They can be kept on pasture until ready for market, or nearly so. Not only can they make more use of pasture but they can make more economical use of all feed because they can be finished for mar ket before the cold weather of winter sets in when grains are more expen- sive. If these pigs are crowded, many of them can be marketed by the first of October. Without a good house two filters year cannot be raised to advantage. because the spring pigs must be put off until so late that the fall filters do not get we'll started be- fore cold weather, but with a good house two filters can well be raised Most farmers do not feel that they can keep an old SOW for one litter, but with two filters it becomes a diff ferent proposition. It is universally conceded that old sows raise better pigs than young ones, and the keep ing of old sows enables one to select and keep only the best producers.
 A little pig loves sunshine and leeds it almost as much as he needs food. No piggery is fit for the pur- l,Jse unless it admits direct sunshine onto the floor of every pen at the time the pigs are farrowed, furnishes plenty of fresh air. and provides for exercise in the open air. Dryness, sunshine, warmth. fresh air, freedom from drafts, and exercise are of pri- mary importance in raising pigs. These secured, the battle is half won. In putting up buildings the six re- quirements just mentioned must be 6ept constantly in mind; not one can De neglected.

means of admitting air and light are the alley doors and few small hog doors.
 The writer has personal knowledge of another hog house quite similar to this but only about half as large, the only openings being one alley door, one hog door, and one small window. In this house over 90 per cent of the early pigs were lost in some seasons, mostly from thumps. The loss in a single season would have more than paid for good building.
 The owner of a new hog house once showed it to the writer with consider able pride. The building was equipped with conyeniences of the best sort and appeared to be ideal in every respect except one-cost. It contained IS pens besides the feed bins, and ;ost, according to the contractor, ap- proximately $4000, or $222 a pen. The interest on this investment at five

 The city lies on a semicircular bay about midway between the mouths of the great Russian rivers, Dniester and Dnieper. It is 1,017 miles south south west from Moscow by rail and SIC miles south from Kief. Varna, the nearest Bulgarian port, and one re. gently bombarded by the Russians lies 29O miles across the Black sea to the southwest.
 Has Six Fine Harbors.
 Odessa is builded in the midst of a dreary steppe. It is regularly laid out in broad streets, faced with substan. tial modern buildings, and wears its commercial prosperity patent to the most casual visitor. Its port is equipped with six good harbors-the quarantine harbor, coal harbor, petro- leum harbor new harbor, practical harbor, and the harbor of the Russian Company for Navigation and Com. merce, the principal shipping company of the port. The freezing of the har- bors and the bay interrupts navigation for an average of 16 days each year
 Novorossia, or New Russia, which includes the governments of Bessa. rabia and Kherson, has it's intellectual and commercial capital at Odessa The social capital is also there, and the life of the metropolis has been de. scribed as much more gay than the life of Paris or Vienna. The nights in the Odessa of pre-war days were giddy with people and ablaze with cafes un, til early morning hours. The merry. making of Odessa did not really begin in the cafes chantants until midnight and it's gayeties lasted until between three and five in the morning.
 There was a dark side to the pic, ture, the usual one to contrast with the bright in every great city. A mis. erable army of poor whose ranks were largely filled by the tides Of transient labor that washed the greatest trading city of southern Russia, lived from hand to mouth on stray crumbs of the places prosperity. The number of the very poor was estimated at 35,000 and many of them lived in the extensive catacombs beneath the city, which were formed by the quarrying of sand stone for building.

GREAT AIM OF BEEF
 AND PORK PRODUCER
Set All Gain on the Calves and Pigs During Early Months
 of Their Lives.

The aim of the beef and pork pro- ducer should be to set all the gain on the calves and pigs possible during the early months of their lives
 Calves make much cheaper gains up to ten months old and pigs mp to six months old than they do after these periods.
 't is not uncommon now to see well finished baby beef steers on the mar ket at the age of twelve to fifteen months and occasionally some come in at less age than that; while the bulk of the hogs now come to the mar ket in well finished condition at eight months old weighing around 225 pounds.

DESSA, Russia's first naval base on the Black sea and the starting point for over-the-wa

DE0SA, RUSSIA nrSt naval base on the Black sea and the
 starting point for over-the-wa-
 ter attacks on Bulgaria, Eu- ropean Turkey and Asia Minor, is the most imposing milestone on the Mus covite's shortening road to Constan- tinople and the warm waters of the Mediterranean, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. The great and flourishing port is one os the youngest cities of the East, for it was founded by Catherine II after her war of conquest against the Turk had end ed in the treaty of Jassy in 1791, and it's foundation was largely due to the desire to have a strong city just as near to Constantinople as possible, as a well-equipped point of departure for Slav armies of future generations.
 It is said that the Russian is the dreamiest and the longest of all the races of Europe, and it has been on it's way toward the world-city on the BOsporus, where it's national faith was cradled, ever since Arab in- vaders broke the communication be- tween Santa Sophia and the Russian church in the ninth century.
 The only un-American thing about Odessa, Mark Twain said, are the cut of it's droshkies and the stupendous girth of their drivers. The city is modern, new, and more European or American than any other city in the czar's empire, with the exception of Petrograd.
 Becomes Great City in a Century.
 Odessa has only recently passed it's one hundredth year, yet, at the out break of the war. it was ranked by but three other cities in the empire for size and commercial importance-Pe trograd, Moscow and Warsaw. A few huts of mud and reeds and a Turkish fort were all that marked the site, when Catherine the Great commanded city here. In 1902, eight years after it's foundation, it numbered 5000 Greeks, Italians. Russians and Alba. nians. It enjoyed, however. unusual imperial patronage for strategical req sons; even the Emperor Paul, who delighted to make vain all that owed it's title to his mother. continued to favor the young town A statue Of Catherine represented trampling the Turkish flag under foot, stands on one of the finest squares.

 Most good hog raisers who have warm buildings try to have their sows commence farrowing about March 1, but without good houses this is i'm practicable. Breeders find it neces- sary to have their pigs come about this time in order to have them large enough for the fall demand, and pro- ducers of market hogs find the prac- tice profitable.
