MILK PURCHASES.

Ten commandments for the milk
buyer were issued today by DR.
Harry Z. Barnard, Indiana's food
administrator. That they will save
a family much sickness and much
money if observed is the promise.
The suggestions follow:
/. Buy only the best milk obtain
able. 1t is cheapest in the long run.
,. Consult the health department
before selecting your milk dealer.
8. Buy only bottled milk if pos
sible. Dipped milk is often dirty
and deficient in cream.
4. Take milk into the house as
soon as it is delivered and place il in
the refrigerator Immediately. Bac-
terra increase rapidly in milk which
stands in the sun or warns up, and
such milk will sour quickly.
5. Keep milk in the original
bottle in the refrigerator until the
moment Of serving. Milk which has
been poured from the bottle should
not be returned to it.
s. Keep the bottle covered with
a paper cap OI AllN tl leu LAAll bAEA ~
prevent the entrance of flies ana
dust. which may carry dangerous
bacteria into the milk.
Z. Keep the refrigerator clean
and sweet by means of proper drain
age and frequent washing with
scalding water and sal soda, since
milk quickly absorbs unpleasant
Odors and becomes less palatable.
s. Wash milk bottles as soon as
emptied by rinsing first with luke
warm water and then with hot
water. If there is an infectious dis
case in your home, do not return
any bottles except with the knowl-
edge of the health department and
under conditions which it may pre-
scribe.
Q. Return empty bottles promptly.
and do not use them for anything
except milk. Remember that they
are the property of the dealer and
represent cash
10. Remember that clean milk,
properly cared for is one Of the best
foods obtainable 1t is nOurishing,
digestible and really economically.

To protect hogs from vermin in the
summer time, the cheapest and most
convenient arrangement is hog wal
low. Wslere a good many hogs are
kept, number of wallows are neces-
sary. These are made Of concrete by
first digging pit about a foot deep.
The concrete floor is made in the bot
tom of this pit by pounding down
stones and filing in between them
with concrete grout mortar. Then the
inside wooden forms are put IN place
and the side walls are raised foot
above the floor. The earth is dug
square SO as to answer for the outside
form. The top Of the hog wallow walls
are made after the fashion of curb,
to reach up above the ground about
2 inchec to keep out dirt. A 2 by 4
is used as an outside form above the
ground.
These hog wallows should be neatly
finished. The forms should be made
true and the curb or coping should be
beyeled on the edges SO ass to give a
neat appearance and prevent chip
ping. The wallows are built along the
stock lane at intervals, so the hogs
may be admitted from the different
fields, either by opening the gates or
by creeps.
: The yards in front of the hoghouse
should be paved with concrete. The
work is done by grading the ground
with a drop Of about 2 inches in the
width of the floor, which is 16 feet.
The concrete is laid sidewalk fashion,
by marking off the area with by As,
making blocks 6 feet square. The
lower part of the blocks may be made
with a lean mixture of concrete on top

the scientific work where his heart has always
been.
In his Well-equipped laboratory in Dayton he is
now conducting two lines of work which will be
of immediate value in the great aircraft program
planned by the government. One is the measure
ment OF the air resistance of curved surfaces; the
other the development of stabilizer to make the
control of the airplane more nearly automatic.
Other aeronantical laboratories the world
have made these measurements of air resistance,
but the figures have sometimes been as far as 100
200 per cent apart. The results obtained by
the Wright method fourteen years ago proved sub
stantially accurate, and Orville Wright is

of which a surface layer rich enough
to prevent water-Iogging is placed.
The hog feeding floor is not intended
for hard use, so it is neither thick nor
expensive, but it answers the purpose
splendidly.
There should be good wire fence
all around the outside, stapledlto con-
crete posts. The floor is used for
feeding nnd as an exercising yard for
hogs during the fall and spring, and
when the weather is mild in winter.
In summer and fall the feeding floor
is used to finish the hogs for the mar
ket. Sometimes a bunch Of 20 or 80
will be fed on the floor every day for
week or two and permitted to walk
back to the fields between feeds.
Later on, say two weeks before ship
ping, they are confined on the feed
ing floor and in the hOghOuse until
ready for market. This makes COM
bination summer and winter hoghouse.
Such a complete hog department as
this requires number of small porta-

Sanitary hog raising plans should be
carried out all through the different
seasons. Winter pasture as well as
spring, fall and summer pasture
should be provided in different fields

ough system of rotation of crops.

drains. Steel partitions between the
pens discourage bacteria and COM
bination of all of these improvements
insures success.
A winter hoghouse Of the most mod
Aern type is shown in the perspective
and floor plan. 1t is made on the saw
tooth plan with the upper windows
placed directly over the pens. The
roof plan is worked out to fit the lat
itude in which it is TO be built, SO the
sun will shine into the nests at farroW-
ing time, both spring and fall.
The building is "a feet by 81 feet
in size, built of structural tile, on a
foundation of concrete. This makes
a hollow wall above grade which is
both windproof and dampproof. The
concrete floor slopes from the outside
walls to the cutters at the sides OF
the center feeding alley. These gut
tiers drain out at the far end of the
hoghouse and are easily kept clean
with hose.
The equipment inside is made as
completely sanitary as possible with
steel partitions, manure and feed car
riers suspended from overhead tracks,
feed troughs made Of concrete for the
large sows and feed troughs made OF
steel for the smaller hogs. The house
is planned and built for easy cleaning
and for ease and comfort in doing the
work.
On the north side of the hoghouse
it is advisable to build long, narrow
dipping tank for the hogs. It should
be IS inches wide at the top and 8
