SANITARY HOUSES FOR HOGS
Animals Will Respond Very Quickly to
Clean Surroundings-CreV
Harbor Vermin.

By K. J. T. EKBLAW, University of
Illinois.)
Though the character usually as
Icribed to swine is one which gives lit
tile or no consideration to cleanliness,
still the pig is an animal which will
respond very quickly, indeed, to clean
surroundings. The building should
ibe so built that its construction will
ipermit Of cleaning and thorough dis
injecting. This means smooth walls
and floors, for if crevices exist they
are only harbors for dirt and vermin.
On account of the anatomical con-
struction of the pig, his breathing, eat
ing and drinking is done close to the
ground, and close to a thousand
sources of infection. This makes it
all the more necessary that his living
quarters be cleaned as often and as
thoroughly as possible.

! I'VE
STOCK
CHEAPER BEEF FROM sILAeE
Successful Experiment Conducted az
South Dakota Station by
Director Wilson.

a load of steers was recently mar
keted in Chicago by the South Dakota
experiment station which had been fed
only corn silage during period OF five
months, and brought as killers within
91.50 as much per hundred as the best
steers sold. The steers were on the
road without any feed in the car for
IS hours and shrunk only 40 pounds
per head on a rainy day. The average
gain per head during the 149-day feed
ing period was two pounds. These
steers consumed 81 tons OF silage and
made a gain of 1921 pounds, or an av-
erage Of 296 pounds each.
This successful experiment was per-
formed under the direction of James
w. Wilson, professor of animal hus-
bandry and director of the experiment
station, and explodes the theory that
corn silage should be fed sparingly and
only as part of ration for dairy cows.
''What a wonderful saving it would be
for this country" says Director Will
son, eff all yearling steers had made
an average gain last winter of two
pounds per head, or q little more than
the same-aged steer usually makes on
grass.
''The corn plant when cured in its
own juices seems to be an excellent
feed to produce gain-nothing better
when we consider cost. And when we
consider the hundreds of acres where
only part Of the crop is harvested
the ears-and the stalks and leaves
and husks allowed to waste, we are
not very near the maximum stage Of
production"

ROADS INDEX OF CHARACTER
Determine Importance of Country,
Limiting or Aiding Its Advance
Should Be Built.

The roads are an index of the char
acter of any country, determining its
Importance and limiting or aiding its
advance. A country that isn't worth a
good road isn't worth what its land
sells for and soon won't be worth Hv-
ing in. No community that has ever
improved its roads, has ever regretted
1t, for road improvement is a good in
vestment for any community. Since
the roads are for all the people, they
should be built by all the people with
state and federal aid.

PREVENTING RUNTs in FALL
Problem confronts Every Producer of
Pork-Scrappers Should Be
With Big Pigs.

Preventing runts in fall filters of
pigs is a problem that confronts every
producer Of pork. Establishing pens
for pigs Of the same size, not more
than twenty to the pen, is necessary.
Pronounced scrappers should be
penned with larger pigs. 1t is also de-
sirable that all the pigs should be eat
ing well at weaving time. Grain, one
pounds of middlings to ten pounds Of
milk, placed in q trough easily reached,
will teach them to eat naturally. More
grain is added until the weaving time
ration is one pound middlings to three
pounds milk. At two weeks after

AZ D11dntght, TGtntty, songs OF PRAISE
Dim, distant songs, in t0OrdIeSs lays,
When all the stars together sang.
And they, the shepherds, listening long,
With beating hearts, in Gl0e-fIIed

Was this the song orion sung,
The mystic, golden GiSles among,
In Space-0ennled Solitudef
Or I0ere these ASphG's anthems grand,

When heavy cenSOrS SIolCIy Sl0ung,
Where SandaIed nldidels, bending,

Out all their souls, unloUed, unseenf
Sa0ort forms stood forth, their girdEes

With faces tol0ard the midnight sky;
And, trembling, 1oaited, lips apart,
Limbs tense, 10here fullest muscles
start.
And Quivering arms appraised high.
Clearer the sound 40aUes sr0ept the
plain,
As all the 40ide 1oorlFs pulse stood

Till softly 11orded fen the strain,
From lions hills flung back again,
Peace and good 10iEI, good t0iH."
Do10n t0ent the staIsoart shepherds
there,
In humble pose, t0ith hearts dfdme.
To all the earth from BethEehens's
height,
In solemn matches on that night,
The dear Gods flesO EUdn0eI came.
All Voices Joined the solemn chant,
From DaUid's city to the sea-
From deep EuphrGtes' silent tides,
To JerfchO's pdInl-Shdded Sides
From Gath to GGIiIee.
In I0ideHing circles, s10eet and clear,
From OIiUe grove or pGInl-crot0ned
hin,
St0ept back that anthem, HedUeH-born,
On hGTpS of gold, by angels borne,
"PeGce and good 10iII, good S0ilI."
4 thousand gears on Times strong tide
Haze GOGShed the shores Of Change;
And Life and Death, al indicted,
Haze swept edTth's 10ideSt range.
But still the hdrpers touch the strings,
In chorus 0rdHder still,
And oceans mighty UOices sing,
While all the earth her chOrGIs bring,
"Pedce and good 10iH, good I0iH."
In humble cot on Scotia's braes,
Or Egypt's sIHmb'roHs- UdIe,
DER sdnd-slOept deserts, camel trod,
On sno1C-cro11ned Alps HpTedred to

nary dirt road with dust inches deep
in places, and 218 pounds over a
muddy earth road.
The significance of these figures lies
in the fact that on a good earth road
it is necessary to exert three times
the PULL that is required on a con-
crete road, and nearly twice the pull
required on a macadam road. Fur
thermOre, when the earth road be-
comes muddy, a condition which does
not affect traffic on good pavements,
the pull is more than doubled.
