the animal Is unhealthy; there is al
ways some danger that disease may be
transmitted to the person who eats the
meat. The keeping quality of the meat
is always impaired by fever or other
arrangements.
A hog In medium condition, gaining
rapidly in weight, yields the best quail

losing flesh. A reasonable amount of
Tat gives julcineSs and flavor to the
meat. but large amounts of fat nre nor

The breeding of animals plays an
important part in producing q carcass
of high quality. Selection. long con.
tinued care and intelligent feeding will
produce meat of desirable quality. The
smooth, even and deeply fleshed hogs
Will yield the nicely marbled meat.
The meat from very young hogs
lacks flavor and Is watery. Old meat
is generally very tough. The meat of
old hogs can be improved. however. II
they are properly fattened before
slaughter. Hogs can be killed for
meat any time after eight weeks. but
the most profitable age at which to
slaughter is eight to twelve months.
Hogs intended for slaughter should
remain unfed for at least "a bours or
better, 80 hours. Give them all the
clean, fresh water they will drink.
This will help to clear the system of
food and will facilitate bleeding. Do
not excite or whip hog before killing
An excited hog never makes a pood
carcass, and whipping causes bruised
hams, which are not fit to cure. An In.
jured hog may be used for food pro.

more or less seeds of various weeds
This is especially true of that class of
mixed feeds made from mill by-prod-
ucts. for the reason that such by-
products are partly composed of

weed seeds resulting from the clean

tage Of live weed seed is very low.
Introducing Weed Seeds in Manure.
Nearly all purchased manure is full
of weed seeds. If it is hauled TO the
farm when fresh many thousands of
weed seeds are introduced. so that the
farmer Is storing up future trouble for
himself. As this manure usually has
to be removed from the town in the
fresh state. the only chance to COM
post IL in order To make the weed seeds
rot Is after Ii reaches the farm. It
has been found that the weed seeds
in mandre piles rot quickly under ordi-
nary conditions, so that practically all
OF them have lost their vitality in two
months. Whether the farmer should
compost city manure by leaving II in
piles after he has drawn Ii 10 his farm

Work and PLAY.

Variation of types of work properly
adjusted will often substitute for what
Is generally known as play, says the
New York Times. For instance, ones
brain center may become weary at
monOtonous occupation, and a decided
change of occupation, notwithstanding
1t be what we usually call work. will
permit the first brain center involved
to rest while another works. But we
come back to the fact that what most
people regard as play is an occupation
that they are not required to perform,
and, it would seem from a psycholog-
lcal standpoint to give greater rest if
1t be an occupation that is particularly
useless from the standpoint of produc-
ing economic results. Therefore there
should be time set aside in the work
of the day, no matter whether it be
varied or not, when the environment
may be changed and play should be
taken up.

Breeders Of live stock recognize that

A bun must not be closely confined,
because he needs exercise, fresh air

ment has ruined many good bulls. The

for a bull pen to be built in connec-
tion with this barn. 1t is built along
the north side of the barnyard, as an
extension to the stock shed. In f. &,

Switzerland Like United States.

Switzerland is the only European
example of a federative and demo-
cratic republic of the American type,
observes Il writer. Switzerland, as the
United States, was born from Il desire
for emancipation from autocratic des-
pOtism; like the United States, Swift
zerland never believed in the divine
right of kings. The very past which
the ancient federates, on that quiet
spot, the "tutli," on the classic Lake
of Lucerne on August l, 1921, swore
to, embodies that great principle for
which now, G26 years later, the United
States is fighting, namely, to quote
President Wilson's own words, For
the right of those who submit to au-
thority to have a voice in their own
governments" There the old Swiss
proclaimed self-government against the
autocratic rule Of the Hapsburg, in the
following words: 'We ordain and di-
rect with unanimous accord, that in
the aforementioned valleys we shall
recognize no judge who shall have
bought his rights with money or in any
other manner, or who shall not be a
native and an inhabitant of these dis
trictS"

BY WILLIAM A. RApEoRp.

The beef cattle barn shown in the
Illustrations is designed to provide a
considerable storage for hay with con-
venlent feeding arrangements for a
good many cattle. The construction
follows the plank frame type which
utilizes only stock sizes of lumber
which can be obtained in even the
smallest of lumber yards. This type
of construction has become very pop
ular in all parts of the country and 1t
has many advantages, which are now
generally known and accepted.
This design provides for a basement
under the whole barn with windows
along four sides. A gambrel roof on
the self-suppOrting plan covers the
main building, with the peak Of the
roof pushed up high enough to make
an extra large storage NOW. On the
east side of the barn is Shed open at
the front, but closed in completely at
one end and partially at the other.
This part Of the barn is commonly
called a covered barnyard.
The foundation under the main barn
Is Pinch concrete wall, with 24-inch
footings. The wall is high enough to
make 9-foot basement. With the
concrete floor in place there is s feet
G inches in the clear above the feed
alley floors.
There are rows of hangers in this
basement running crosswise, SO that
each alley opens into the covered barn
