PROPER HOUSING
DURING WINTER
Increase Pork Production by
Making Pigs Comfortable in
Cold Weather.
HOG RAISING IS PROFITABLE
Little Pig to Thrive Must BE Kept
Dry, Warm, Away From Drafts
and Provided With Fresh Air
Sunshine Also Needed.

The corn belt hogs furnish one of
the most important means of market
Ing the corn crop. With the exception
of chickens, they are the most numer-
GUS Of all farm animals, and are grown
for market on more farms than any
other stock. Hog raising has probably
made more clear money for the corn
belt farmers than any other enterprise.
In view Of this one might expect to
find hogs the best housed Of any ami
mails on the farm, but the opposite is
the case. 1t Is still hard for many
farmers to get rid of the notion that
anything Is good enough for hog.
Yet there Is no animal on the farm
which requires better protection from
cold than the hog none for which a
good bed Is more necessary, and none
so much in need of sunshine as the
little pig. The horse and the COW have
good coats of hair-even q calf or n
colt when left in the cold Is provided
with a good fur coat; the hens feath-
ers are the best Of protection against
cold; but the hog has almost nothing
One of the first requisites for sue
cess with hogs is n shelter where
young pigs can be kept warm and well
supplied with sunshine and fresh air.
A little pig takes cold very easily and
RECEIVERS slowly II at all. To prevent
taking cold he must be kept dry, warm,
away from drafts, and provided with
fresh air.
Most good hog raisers who have
warm buildings try to have their sows
commence narrowing about March 1,
but without good bouses this Is i'm
practicable. Breeders find 1t necessary
to have their pigs come about this time
in order to have them large enough
for the fall demand, and producers of
market hogs find the practice profit
able. Early pigs have several marked
advantages. Without good house two
filters year cannot be raised to adj
vantage, because the spring pigs must
he put off until so late that the fall
filters do not get well started before
cold weather, but with a good house
two filters can well be raised. Most
farmers do not feel that they can keep
an old sow for one litter, but with two
filters 1t becomes different PROPOSE
ton. 1t Is universally conceded that
old sows raise better pigs than young
ones, and the keeping of old sows en-
ables one to select and keep only the
best producers.
Types Of Large Houses.
The variety of hog houses is almost
as great as the variety of individuals
using them. 1t Is rare, indeed, to find
even a semblance of uniformity pre-
vailing in a community. There are.
however, only two or three general
types which commend themselves to
the careful hog man. OF the two styles
of large houses, the larger has two
rows of pens, an alley through the
middle, and Jog in The roof for win
dows to light the north pens, while
the smaller has but one row of pens,
with an alley and row OF windows on
the south side. The double house is
much cheaper per pen, and for that

 SEVERELY BITTEN
Unruly Prisoner Uses Teeth on Officer When Being
 Placed in Jail

Much excitement was experienced in the warden's office of the city jail last night when man who is said to be a deputy sheriff of Shelby county, C. c. Martin, resisted the attempts of Pa trolman O. I. Payne of the Birmingham police force to place him in the city jail on a charge of drunkenness. Patrol man Payne is suffering a severe bite on the biceps of his right arm, and very bloody coat sleeve.
 A call was received by the desk ser geant about 7:30 o'clock for a man to come to the Metropolitan hotel, near the Louisville and Nashville station. Accord ing to Officer Payne, when he arrived he saw Martin in the custody of Officers Burkett and Sorrell, and stated that when they attempted to place him in the car it was necessary to handcuff and otherwise forcibly keep him in custody. It is stated that when an attempt was made to place him inside the bars that he grabbed the bars on the door and as Officer Payne was in close personal contact the prisoner bit him on he arm. Dr. Cecil Gaston was called aud after treating the wound stated that while not necessarily serious that in all proo- ability it would be painful. Martin is now in the city jail and will have to answer to the judge on charges Of drunk enness and resisting an officer

BOOK CAMPAIGN ID
 START NEXT WEEK Public Will Be Asked to De- nate Novels of Every Kind for Soldiers

Campaign Director James l.. Davidson Is laying plans for the local campaign to be conducted here March 1925 for the purpose of obtaining books of every de- scription for our soldiers and soilors Tn America and over the seas. is expected to raise over 2.000,0oo books, all of which will be placed at the dis lposal of the lads in khaki. According to MT. Davidson, novels Of adventure, detective stories, clean love stories, business stories. books on the war scientific text books and histories. especially of western Europe, are badly needed in the camp libraries. All civic organizations, merchants and citizens of every kind will be asked to llend their support toward bringing :his call for books before the people, by post ing appeals in conspicuous places and py ldevoting a small portion of their adv.sr- Using space to carrying campaign slo- gans.
 The method of collecting these books has not been definitely worked out as Iyet. but it is more. than probable that some arrangement will be made to send after books where the owners are unable to bring them down to the public library. No attempt will be made to handle magazines or very old and worn out novels. but any books worth while will be appreciated by the soldier boys who
 are now sufferingefrom a lack of read ing matter.

EVANS POINTS OUT IMPORTANT FACTS
 ABOUT 3-M|LL TAX
Change of Policy to Charge All School Bond Interest
 to School Tax Returns

''The figures printed by The Age-Her- aid on Sunday for the enlightenment of the tax payers of Birmingham that they may cast their ballots intelligently on the proposed school tax increase are very interesting and valuable just now" said Frank V. Evans.
 T notice that Commissioner Hornady
 charges your statement with being too
 optimistic, denying the correctness of
 your estimate. You may have overesti-
 mated the income to be derived from the states and county, but you were correct in your estimate of the amount the tax payers of Birmingham will pay for school purposes, to-wit: about 1,050,O00 per an-
 mum if the proposition carries at the election.
 T noticed particularly that The Age Herald in its article on the three-mill tax proposition did not discuss the pro- high school while Commissioner Hornady couples the two, and charges the school ] fund with interest on these proposed bonds and with an annual return of the principal He also proposes to charge ! tho school fund with $65,000 per annum on present outstanding school bonds. | overlooking the fact that about one half of this indebtedness is provided for
 in the two-mill sinking fund proposition and that no part of the interest debt or public school buildings has ever hereto bore been charged against the school appropriation of the city.
 1 Therefore, I submit. though the figures presented by The Age-Herald were nearer correct than those presented by Commis.
 sioner Hornady, unless it be to the pur-
 pose of the city commission to depart from an old custom and add immensely
 to the fixed charges against the schoo l fund-principal and interest on bonds issued for building school houses. l In view of the fact that the two prop. ositions-the three-mill tax and the mil. l lion-dollar high school bond issue-ars to be voted on separately, I am sure they should be considered separately and the board of commissioners shoulc fully enlighten the people upon the en l tire plan proposed.
