Originated With Webster.

"When began the custom for indi-
viduals and audiences to be standing
when the 'Star-Spangled Banner was
sung or playedT"
1t was a fair question. 1t was adopt
ed by the army and navy long ago
but the army and navy did not origi-
nate the very appropriate and patriotic
custom.
Between sixty and seventy years
ago, when Jenny Lind. n of the
sweetest singers the world ever pro-
duced, was the chief attraction at q
Boston concert. Daniel Webster, the
great senator. secretary Of state and
patriot, was present.
Jenny Lind sang the "Star-Spangled
Banner" as only that songbird could
sing 1t. The audience called her back
several times, and she sang a verse
Of our present national anthem.
Each time one man stood up, and
mt the close gracefully bowed to the
singer. That was Daniel Webster.
1t was a good example to set. a
needed custom to establish. and one
that has been an important factor In
impressing patriotic lessons.

Good Type Of Individual Hog House
This House Has a Number Of Win
dows and Doors Which Can Be Open
ed to Provide Ventilation When
Weather Conditions Permit
quarters. Cement makes a satisfactory
floor, but In colder climates must be
covered with wooden false floors. A
good floor makes 1t much easier to
keep the house clean. The arrange
ment of the house should be such that
the beds and feed floors are well sep
arated.
There are two general classes of
houses-large community or station
airy, and small individual or movable.
The large house has individual pens
and Is intended for quite a number of
hogs. The advantages of the large
house are: 1t Is more economical for
q large number of hogs; 1t is conven-
lent for feeding and affords provisions
for saving manure. If the house is to
be quite large 1t is usually advisable
to arrange the pens In two rows with
an alleyway between them. The alley
should be 4 to 6 feet wide unless It is
desirable to have space for the pass
ing Of a wagon. In that event the al
ley should be s to 10 feet wide.
Individual Hog House.
The individual house, as the name
suggests, is intended for one hog or
for a SOW and her brood. One decided
advantage of the individual or portable
house is that 1t can be moved from
place to place and a thus be kept
sanitary and made accessible to pas
lures. There are two general styles Of
individual houses, namely, the box
shaped with four upright walls and
the A-shaped. The dimensions should
be 8 feet by 10 feet, or 8 feet by s feet.
Wooden floors are good, but not neces-
sary. The floor should be higher than
the outside level of the ground, to in
sure dryness. All houses should be
sufficiently high to permit the attend
ant to move about them with compare
tive freedom. BY placing tenders on
the walls a few inches from the floor,
individual houses may be used for far
rowing pens.
When q number of sows are kept ON
a farm 1t may be desirable to have q
regular narrowing pen. A small house
provided with tenders serves - a far
rowing pen. Tenders may be made of
2 by 6-inch scantling and firmly attach
ed to the walls of the pen some 8
inches above the floor. The object of
the fender Is to prevent the sow over
lying young pigs.

DISTRICT ENRICHED
BY CHEESE FACTORY
Prosperity Brought to Isolated
Community In Southeast.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculturs)
Cheese making Is transforming many
isolated mountainous districts of the
southeastern states into prosperous
farming communities. For many years
the remoteness of these districts ana
the lack of ready communication with
the outside world has retarded agri-
cultural development. An interesting
story Of the rapid development Of
small cooperative cheese factories
which, with the Improvement of cows,
appears to point the way to financial
and industrial independence, is told in
Yearbook Separate 737 of the United
States department Of agriculture.
The first cooperative FACTORY in this
section was put into operation In the
spring of 1915 In a mountainous sec
ton of North Carolina. On June B q
small building only IA by 16 feet was
built and equipped at a cost Of only
$500 and opened for business. Before
the end of the year this modest factory
returned to it's patrons almost $500, a
net gain of more than $1,000, because
the total income for the sale of butter
in the community previous to the es-
Enlistment of the cheese factory
averaged less than $500. About six
weeks after 1t was established another
factory, built and equipped at a cost
Of 1915. was started In a neighboring
community and was conducted with
equally good results.
The first factories were established
with difficulty because of lack Of In
terest among the farmers, but after
the profits began to roll In It was inn
possible to meet the demand for as
~sistance and no solicitation was need
ed to induce the people to put up new
factories. The first year the factories
were opened, about $500 worth of
cheese was made and sold. In 1916, &c
factories were established In North
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West
Virginia. During last year $4,000
worth of cheese was made In North
Carolina alone, and the "a factories
then In operation In the states men-
toned produced cheese which sold for
more than $685. 00. The cost Of oper-
alton, says the publication, added to
what the farmers would probably have
received from the milk If there had
been no cheese factories, would amount
to about one-fourth of the gross re-
ceipts. Therefore. three-fourths Of
this amount, or a little more than $90,-
600. was newly created wealth.
The effect Of the increased income
from the mountainous farms has
brought about a higher standard Of
living. Farm houses have been re-
modelled; roads improved; better farm
| equipment introduced, and more in
terest has been taken In educational
work OF all kinds. Though some high
grade cows have been purchased and
brought into the section, the greatest
progress in dairy Improvement is
shown by the better care and more
skillfui feeding of the cows already
at hand. The Introduction of cheese
factories, the publication says, Is only
the first step forward, but they fur
nish the financial support for the
movement which is slowly but certain
ly bringing prosperity to these south
ern mountain districts.
