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
ary, 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: It is more economical for
a large number of hogs; it is cenven-
lent for feeding and affords provisions
for saving manure. If the house Is to
be quite large it 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 1t is
desirable to have space for the pass
ing of q wagon. In that event the al
lev should be to 10 feet wide.
Individual Hog House.
The individual house, as the name
suggests, is intended for one hog or
Cor 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 can thus be kept
sanitary and made accessible to pas.

individual houses, namely, the box
shaped with four upright walls anC
the A-shaped. The dimensions should
be 6 feet by 10 feet, or feet by s feet
Wooden floors are good, but not neces
sary. The floor should be higher thar
the outside level Of the ground, to in

sufficiently high to permit the attend
ant to move about them with compare
tive freedom. BY placing tenders OIL
the walls a few inches from the floor
individual houses may be used for far

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

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 1871 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 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 its patrons almost $1,000, a
net gain of more than $1,000, because
the total income for the sale of butter
in the community previous to the es-
Establishment 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 neighborine
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

sistance and no solicitation was need

When the crash came James lost con-

over the. sidewalk into the plate-glass
window of Highfed's S office, smashing the
glass to smitherecns and demolishing the
castings and sill of the window as well as

of the Eleventh Division, announced that
General koesters brigade had become
part of the Lafayette Division, and that
1T would come to this camp to JOIN the
Meadeites before they sail for France or
go direct from West Point to Europe, to
meet General Cartcr's organization.
General koester was born IN Penn
sylvania. June ,, 1860, and was appointed
from that State to West Point Military
Academy in 1884. He may well be termed
the commander of the lost brigade.
There was IA story from Meade few days
ago to the effect that the 18th Artillery
Brigade, generally assumed to belong to
the Eleventh Division, had mysterlously
disappeared. Two of the regiments of the
11th were placed In a new artillery or
ganization to be known rs the 22d
Artillery Brigade.
This brigade, it was stated, would go
to Europe as a unit independent of the
Eleventh Division and become attached
to another division overseas. The 3lst
Artillery Regiment, the third member
of the Eleventh Brigade, was to remain
an orphan, under the command of Colo
mel Henry l.. Stimson. former Secretary
of War, until such time rs it should be
attached to some other brigade. In the
meantime, the people here were wonder
