Principles of construction: Four Inn

Light is provided by placing the house
along a north and south line and by
putting in suitable doors and windows.
Doors, windows, and roof ventilation

pueks for Meat and Euas.

The Pekin breed is kept almost ex-
clusively by producers of green ducks,
and also on many farms where they
are grown for meat. They fatten rap
idly and may be fed on ratlons recon.
mended for chickens, but better re.
suits are usually secured by feeding
more green and vegetable feeds and
a larger proportion of mash.
For the general farmer who is more
interested In obtaining eggs than pro-
ducing meat the Indian Runner is q
good breed. This duck holds the same
relative position In the duck family
that the Leghorn does In the chicken
family. 1t lays good-sized white egg
considerably larger than hens egg,
and Is declared to be a small eater,
a good forager, and hardy. The intro
duction Of this breed Is helping to
build MP a trade OF first-class duck
eggs. These eggs should be marketed
frequently. as they depreclate In quail
lily more rapidly than hens eggs.

quarters. Cement makes a satisfactory
floor, but In colder climates must be
covered with wooden false floors. A
good floor makes It 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 q number Of
hogs. The advantages of the large
house are: 1t Is more economical for
a large number Of hogs; 1t Is conven-
lent for feeding and affords provisions
for saving manure. II 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 II 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 II can be moved from
place to place and can 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 9 feet by 10 feet. or feet by 8 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 few inches from the floor.
individual houses may be used for far
rowing pens.
When q number Of sows are kept on
c farm 1t may be desirable TO have q
regular narrowing pen. A small house
provided with tenders serves as a far
rowing pen. Tenders may be made Of
2 by 6-inch scantllng and firmly attach
ed to the walls of the pen some Q
inches above the floor. The object Of

DISTRICT ENRICHED
BY CHEESE FACTORY
Prosperity Brought to Isolated

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
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 1877 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 8 a
small building only. IA by 10 feet was
built and equipped at cost Of only
$500 and opened for business. Before
the end Of the year this modest factory
returned to its patrons almost 81, 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 it was established another
factory. built and equipped at a cost
Of 1915, was started in a neighborlng
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 1t was i'm
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, 26
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 $125,OOO. The cost Of oper-
alton, says the publication. added to
what the farmers would probably have
received from the milk II there had
been no cheese factories, would amount
to about one-fourth of the gross re-
ceipts. Therefore, three-fourths Of
this amount. or little more than $780,
600. was newly created wealth.
The effect of the increased income
from the mountainous farms has
brought about 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
skillful 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

ern mountain districts.
