Movable or colony hog houses are
especially suited to the needs of the
farmer just starting in the hog bust
ness and also for pig club members
who are doing their part to help the
10 per cent increase needed in hog
population. These houses, especially
where the winters are mild, will meet
all the needs of hogs for shelter both
from the hot sun of summer and. the
dampneSs and storm of winter. They
can be moved from field to field as
the pigs are changed from one grazing
crop to another. Their use makes it
easy to keep the hogs healthy, as the
house can be moved as soon as one
place becomes unclean.
A-shaped House.
Two types-the box-Shaped house
and the A-shaped house-are described
by specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture in a recent
publication. This article deals with
the construction Of the smaller or
A-shaped shelter. The A-shaped house
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton and plans, is 8 feet wide and 6
feet from back to front. The fOunda-
ton is made of three runners of by
4-inch material or straight poles. A
floor of 1-inch material is nailed to the
three runners. Pieces 2 by A inches
are nailed along the outside Of the
floor to keep the sides from spreading
at the bottom.
The sides are built on the ground
and then set up. Each side is made of six
/ by Pinch boards s feet long. These
are held together by two 2 by finch
crosspieces, one about 8 inches from
the top and the other about 31a feet
About 10 inches from the bottom of
the sides 2 by 6-inch piece is nailed
edgewise and braced at the ends by
blocks as shown in the illustration.
This piece will act as guard rail and
prevent the sow from laying on her
pigs. The two sides are set up and

Hun Plot In Mexico Against us. Is At
 Last Cleared Up

AMSTERDAM, Des., Gore spondence of The Associated Press)- The German plot to incite Mexico and Japan to War against the United States originated with Herr Won Chemnitz who bore the title of Leg ation Counselor and was employed in a subordinate capacity in the German Foreign Office, it is now asserted. This is disclosed by Professor Bonn, Rector of the Commercial Academy at Munich, Bavaria, according to the Munich, Neueste Nachrichten.
 "Von Chemitz," says the Munich newspaper, imagined himself an au- tholity on Latin American affairs and suggested the scheme to Dr. AL bert Zimmerman" then German Sec getary for Foreign Affairs. "Zimmer- man discussed it with other Foreign Office officials but they thought it un- feasible.
 Zimmerman kept the matter in mind. Presently, Won Chemnitz came and told him that in the next few days an especially reliable messenger would leave for Mexico, to whom the message could safely be entrusted, and that it was matter of now or never.
 Zimmerman allowed himself 60 be over-persuaded and so the fatal step was taken"
 Dr.. Albert Zimmerman on Janur- any 19, 1917, directed the German Minister, Won Eckhardt, at Mexico City to propose an alliance between Germany, Mexico and Japan to take effect as soon as it was certain there would be war between the United States and Germany. The German Minister was directed to urge Presi- dent Carranza. of Mexico to ask Ja- pans adherence of New Mexico, Tex as and Arizona"
 The German plot was made pub lie by the United States government in February, 1917. It's disclosure was one of the startling incidents which preceded Americas entrance into the
 ar. '& NB2z
 Professor Moritz J. Bonn, director of the Commercial High School at Munich, was featuring in the United States on German history and defin- ed German war aims in addresses de- livered before the United States became a belligerent.
