" hen it is remembered that the ay-

whole empire averaged about 81 10000
for the ten years preceding the war, it
Will be seen how great the increase has
been during the war. The reasons for
the increase are two the abnormal
national wages bill and the dislike en-
tertained by many persons for the los.

other reasons, the demand for silver
coin is so great that even the vastly

The girl with the sylphlike figure
can wear the collarless, straight-line
dress, incomparably we'll, with its
easy, casual sash or girdle-if she Is
graceful. Therefore. dresses on these
simple lines always compel attention
and many times the heartiest admira-
ton. But it is their province TO mere
ly follow the lines of a figure that
needs no flattering. The brisk autumn
weather, with its balmy middays has
brought out greater number of drap-
ed frocks than plain ones, in the places
where acknowledgement women fore
gather. Floating panels, tunics of va
rious lengths and hues, clever draper
les and waists that are bloused in just
the right way, betray the art of sophis-
ticated designers. A variety of collars
and neck finishings and much latitude
in the management of the waist line
make opportunities that are taken adj
vantage of. so that there is a becoming
dress for everyone. These frocks have
a delightful way of concealing defects
and emphasizing good points, that is
certainly endearing-one grows to love
a gown which Is to our faults little

BIRD PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
"Hoatzin," DweIler in the Amazon Val
ley Believed to Be Direct De-
scendant of PterodactyI.

The dense tropic jungle of the Anna
zon valley is something more than
merely jungle. 1t is the point where
the dim ages of the past meet the
present. Many of it's plants and ami
mails seem to be at least cousins TO
those that existed in and before the
coal age of the earth.
One of these "throw-backs" is the
hoatzin, the strange bird whose home
is IN those almost inaccessible regions
OF tangled forest, muddy rivers and
daily transforms. The hoatzin is not
a new discovery. 1t has been known
TO scientists for long time and has
always been somewhat of a puzzle. It
shows so much of the reptilian in it's
makeup, especially when young, that
the experts are almost convinced that
1t is the direct descendant of the
pterodactyl, that giant flying bird
reptile that scared over the newborn
earth in the days when the caveman
was first learning to pit his dawning
intellect against the strength and cum
ming OF the brute. When grown it
shows structural resemblance to sew
eral classes of birds, including the pea
fowl and the domestic chicken.
William Beebe, curator of birds for
the New York Geological park and di-
rector Of the pathological society's
research station in British Guiana, de-
votes a chapter in his book, Jungle
Peace" to the hoatzin.

structed buildings, but 1t pays to house
and feed good breeding stock in a
thoroughly scientific manner.
A few breeding sows, say three or
four, may hustle for themselves around
the barnyard and make themselves
fairly comfortable at night by roofing
their way into the haystack, but there
is not much profit to farmer in keep
ing three or four sows. A larger num-
Der demands different treatment, so
that some kind of winter hog house
is necessary to raise pigs in paying
quantities.
Theoretically, a SOW will farrow sew
Ell pigs twice year. It is easy to
figure that each pig will sell for $50
to $50 at 200 pounds when it is eight
months old. Almost any farmer can
realize such figures on one or two lit
tiers, even when raised under the old
fashioned methods. But no farmer
alive can make anything like such sat
isfactory profits on a large scale I'M
less he is equipped with the proper
facilities for handling the breeding
stock in all kinds of weather. Weather
is great factor in the success of the
hog business.

Most important is to have a winter
pen house where the first filters can be
safely narrowed in February and early
March; and then repeat in the fall.
The design illustrated is the special
American Builder type of modified
saw-tooth as designed for roof win
dows. These are placed in such a way
that the direct rays of the sun shine di-
rectly into the nests at narrowing time.
There are several different makes of
these special roof windows-all con-
structed on much the same principle.
They have galvanized sheet iron
frames which carry their own flashing,
and so can be easily set in place on
the roof and made water tight.
For the sake of sanitation, saving
of feed and the lessening of labor the
pen floors and also the outside run
yard are constructed of concrete.
In building hog house it is neces-
sary to consider convenience in getting
the hogs in and out, to provide means
for loading them into wagons and a
place for heating water and for feed
cooking and mixing. When built on
sloping ground, as is generally the
case, this plan offers an opportunity to
back the wagon up to the rear door for
loading and a room in the front end
away from the pens is arranged for a
feed room.
Provision is made for moving hogs
from one pen to another by having
cleats in the alley for holding sliding
doors.
Hogs thrive better when animals of
the same size are penned together.
Some grow faster. than others and it
is sometimes desirable to select out one
or two from certain pens. That is the
time when the alley door will be appre-
ciated. Another good thing about this
hog house is the swinging front Of the
pens which swings back over the
trough and prevents interference when
putting in the feed. The partitions
next to the feed room run to the cell
Ing, but the partitions between the
pens are only four feet high.
This hog house will accommodate
ABOUT 1U0 hogS by housing from six to
eight in pen, which is thick enough:
II more are penned together they pile
ur and smother each other.
This hog house contains 16 indi-
vidual pens, with an alley through the
center.
1t is "a feet wide and 81 feet long.
with two main entrance doors at the
ends of the feeding alley. Each pen
on the south side of the building has
an outside door to connect the inside
stalls with the outside exercising pens.
The foundation is of concrete. and
there is solid concrete floor the full
size of the house. This floor is care
fully made and given a smooth water
proof finish, SO it may be kept clean
with the least possible expenditure Of
labor. The concrete wall extends up
ls inches above the grade line to pre-
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-11-29

vent the possibility of draft of cold
air on the nests. All doors are care
fully fitted to shut tight in the winter
time.
Each pen has a concrete feeding
trough and swinging gate opening in
to the center alley. These gates are
very convenient when transferring
from one pen to another. They are
also handy at breeding time, because
the presence of the attendant inside
of the pens is frequently necessary.
The construction above the concrete
consists of studding, outside boarding.
strong building paper and drop siding.
So far as the sides are concerned, it
is important that the work should be
thoroughly well done.
The shape of the roof is intended to
admit all the light and sunshine posi-
Bile during the narrowing season, which
usually varies a few weeks in the diff
ferent ATTITUDES. This pitch of roof
is intended for the northern sections
OF the country.
Metal ventilators are provided to
carry off the foul air, which is a nee
essary precaution, because the health
of breeding stock depends greatly upon
the supply of fresh air.
Improved winter hog houses have
helped to eliminate disease and to put
the hog business on a better paying
basis than ever before. The fact is
now recognized that hogs require as
careful handling in winter as other
kinds of live stock. Hogs have been
known to winter through in poorly-con-
