DRYNESS ESSENTIAL
in SWINE BUILDINGS
Good Results Cannot Be Obtained
in Damp Pen-StraW Read
lily Absorbs Moisture.

In discussing the qualities that hog
buildings should possess and the value
of dryness in the hogs welfare, G.
e. Day, in a bulletin put out by the
Ontario department of agriculture,
says that dryness is closely associated
with ventilation, but is also Influenced
by the material of which the building
is constructed. Good results cannot be
obtained in damp pen, and dripping
walls are pretty sure sign of impend-
ing disaster. The floors and fOunda-
ton may be constructed Of concrete,
and the foundation may rise two feet
above the surface Of the floor. This
will preserve the wood of which the
walls are constructed. A good wall
can be made by setting 2 by 4 scant-
lings on end, and boarding inside and
out with rough lumber. This rough
lumber should be covered with tarred
paper, and then the walls tightly
boarded with matched lumber. Or the
outside Of the pen may be clapboarded.
Smooth, matched lumber is best for
the inside. A means Of keeping a pen
dry is to have a loft or ceiling of poles
placed a few inches apart and COW
cred with straw. The straw absorbs
moisture. 1t should be removed at
least every year or it will become a
harbor for dust and germs.

he said the bordeaux mixture for four
quarts of water will require quicklime,
one and one-half tablespoonfuls cop
per sulphate, one tablespoonful.
Kerosene emulsion for a very small
quantity may be made as follows
Kerosene, one pint; hard soap, one
cubic inch; water, half pint.
To make small quantity of ar
senate of lead use one tablespoonful
Of arsenate of lead paste to one gallon
Of water.
Paris green, one teaSpoonful to three
teaspoonfuls of quicklime to eight gal
sary if bordeaux is used. If bordeaux
is used one teaspoonful of paris green
to eight gallons of bordeaux.
One teaspoonful of pyrethrum to
two quarts of water will be a small
solution to poison insects.
For poisoned bran mash use one
quart of bran or middlings, one ia
bleSpOOnful of molaSSes, one teaspoon
full of paris green, one cupful of
water.
Care must always be used in han
ding and making >poisons or spray ma
terials.

START MULBERRIES
BY USING CUTTINGS
Slips Should Be Made in Late
FaI! When Wood Has Been
Thoroughly Ripened.

Mulberries are best propagated by
using mature cutting. These cuttings
should be made in the late fall after
and tied in bundles of about % and
stored in slightly mOistened sand over
the winter, so that the cuts will cal
luS over during the winter. In making
the cuttings a little of the preceding
seasons wood, or at least part of the
ridged union between the two sea-
sons growth should be included. The
reason for this is that the rootlets
start from that part more easily and
plentifully and thus better results are
assured. In the spring as soon as the
ground is tillable, the cuttings should
be set out in rows so that two or
three buds are above the ground and
the rest below. The cuttings start
best under glass. Some nurSerymen
propagate by short cuttings, starting
them indoors in February or March.
Mulberries are also propagated by
root grating similar to the way the
apple is often grated. The cheap Rus
sian mulberry roots are used as stocks
for grating the named sorts on.
Spring ciOn budding is also used to
some extent. The cion contains two
buds, is cut only on one side and is
inserted under the bark as in the case
of regular budding. The cion is held
in place by a string until united to
the wood.
Grating would be the only way that
you could change a nubbin bearing
mulberry tree to one bearing large
fruit. Unless the tree was small it
would be doubtful if it would pay to
do that. This top grating should be
carried on in the same manner as top
grating apples.

All students serving in the army
have continued their connection with
the university, and of the 1880 car

winter there were $4,000 in the ranks
of the soldiers, or 81 per cent.

SPREAD OF BLIGHT
IN FRUIT ORCHARD
Remove and Burn Every TWig or
Branch on Which Disease Has
Appeared-Care for Tools.

Every twig or branch on which fire
blight has appeared should be removed
to prevent the spread of the disease
through the orchard. 1t is first no
ticed by the flow Of gumlike fluid
from the bark. Fire blight usually
passes the winter in pear trees but it
may also live in Jonathan, Ingram,
Yellow Transparent, and similar ap-
pie trees. Pear trees showing blight
scars or cankers should be very care
fully examined. Blisters from under
the bark and from these the liquid
flows out and is carried by bees and
insects to other trees and thus the
disease is spread. AS soon as this dis
ease is noticed the diseased parts
should be cut and burned Immediately
and the pruning tools disinfected by
dipping them in a 1 to 1000 solution
of corrosive sublimate, so that the dis
ease may not be carried from tree to
tree in this way.

ODD PLACES TO HIDE CASH
Woman Concealed Savings on Her
Mothers Grave-Safety Deposit
in Cannon.

The woman who, as just revealed in
the law courts. hid her savings on her
mothers grave in Forest Hill cemetery
probably hit upon q unique cache. But
there is no saving. The person whc
mistrusts savings banks generally
looks around for the most unlikely
spot in which to deposit wealth, and
more than one may hit on the same
idea.
Old cannon, for instance, seem to
form favorable repositories. Quite a
quantity of jewelry was found some
while ago in solitary gun which
stands in the fort at ShOreham, and
about the same time a bag containing
40 sovereigns was discovered in an
old cannon in Peel park. Bradford.

SMALL CANNON FOR POCKET
Deadly Weapon of War That May Be
Readily Concealed is a New
Invention.

The smallest breech-loading cannon
in the world is now being made for
pocket use. 1t is not toy, but takes
a 22-caliber rim-tire cartridge and fires
bullet that would inflict a nasty
wound at close range.
1t is in the form of a pocket knife,
no larger than the usual knife, and has
two blades of fine steel. But at one
end is a hole. Anyone asked TO eX-
anime the article anil say what it Is
will be most likely to guess that it is
some new-fangled pencil sharpener or
cigar cutter
In the end of the knife is a steel
block that turns out on a swivel, being
held by a spring that is released with
the thumb nail and reveals hole
straight through the block. The cart
ridge is inserted at the base of this
hole, the block is swung back into
place, the trigger on the side Is
opened, thus cooking the pistol, which
is now ready ia fire. 1t is held in the
hand and the trigger pressed down
with the thumb.
