frequent damp, dark places. such as
those beneath boards, In cellars, and

Prevention of damages to cultivated

FEEDING PIGS FORAGE CROPS
Greater Returns Made Than From
Animals Fed in Dry Iots-Ai-
falfa Given Highest Rank.

Pigs fed on good forage crops will
make many times as much profit as
those fed in dry lots.
The accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age of the hog, and
amount of grain fed. An acre Of
sweet clover, with corn at $3.50 and
hogs at SIS a hundred, netted $42.O7 !;
rupe, $3.50; alfalfa, $65.9O, and a
combination of oats, peas and rape,
s64C0.
OF all forage crops, alfalfa is the
great permanent crop, while rape Is
the emerge cy crop, and green rye
the fall and early spring crop. The
ideal forage crop should show adap-
liability to soil and climate, perma-
nency, palatibility, reasonable cost
Of planting, and good pasture at any
time during the growing season. AL
faifa, clover and rape have most OF
these qualities.

OPEN FRONT POULTRY HOUSE
5urIap Curtain Is Placed Over Open
ing to Keep Out Wind and Snow
During Stormy Weather.

AS believe the housing Of poultry
fully as important as their daily feed,
/ am sending the picture Of the poul-
try house my husband built for me,
writes Mrs. J. M. Freeman of Sawyer,
Mich, in Farm Progress.
This house was designed some
years ago by DIR. P. T. Woods,
prominent poultryman. Since build
ing this house, two years ago, have
not had sick chicken on the
place. The front is boarded up IS
inches from the ground and down
nine inches from the top. The OPEN
ing is covered with heavy quarter
inch mesh wire, over which we put
a burlap curtain in stormy weather
to keep out wind and snow. At other
times it is always open.
A house OF this style, which meas
ures II by 16 feet, will house from
so to 35 hens comfortably, with good
