How Man Fights Nature. Forces.

Life is fight. From cradle to
grave man is engaged in struggle
against natures forces. With our first
breath we begin to counter these
forces, and continue from our first
breath to our last, says Charles M.
Horton, in Industrial Management. In
dividually we are compelled gradually
to give way to these forces-to decay.
1t is the law. Nature dictates. And
all life recognizes it. From earliest
dawn of history mankind has instinc-
lively resisted this law, actively and
passively. Humanity's first thought
self-preservation-i the one big ac-
tive agent, and as an agent 1t came to
mankind as an outgrowth of primitive

Floor Plan.

sary. 1t is only waste of material
to put in a - to 16-ineh concrete foun-
dation to the floor line when the foot
ing 80 to SO inches below the ground
line can be easily made the proper
width, and the wall really started at
this point.
It has been demonstrated that in
building the foundation in this way
to the floor line, fully so per cent is
saved when a solid concrete founda-
ton is taken into consideration. This
is partly on account of no forms re-
CURED and partly because of the saw
ing of wall above the footing. In lay
ing the hollow tile below the ground
level, it has been found that nothing
in the, way of strength or ability to
serve its purpose is sacrificed by leav-
ing out the joints between the ends OF
the tile, and great deal of time, OF
course, is saved in laying.
Experiments and experience have
proven that the only really satisfactory
way of building hoghouse floor IS
to use hollow tile or fake floor Of

correspondent, while spending a

village, not far westward from Vienna,
located on a delta formed by the con-

while walking through the settlement

important street corners. I saw that
the tablet bore an inscription, but it
was so high above the street that I
could not distinguish it; SO / asked

equivalent number of square feet floor
space should be used for each pen in
the round hoghouse.
Experience and observation have
convinced the writer that the parti-
lions between the pens should be on
hinges, so as to swing up. Thus all
pens may be turned together. The
partitions along the passageway should
slide up and be so made that they can
be fastened about nine inches above
the floor. BY having the partitions
along the passageway SO that they
may be raised partly up in this way,
it is possible to feed young pigs slim
ulating and conditioning foods before
they are weaned.
Some general details that apply to
all types of permanent hoghouses will
be interesting. Hollow tile founda-
lions when laid ON hollow tile or
concrete footing to get the proper
amount of bearing on the ground,
are as strong as the wall itself,
