The hog house Is the building of
most Importance from a standpoint of
direct returns to the farmer. The re-
verse has generally been thought by
the average Western farmer, for 1t
was generally supposed that all a hog
required was warmth. However it has
been found that hogs are very sensi-
tive to drafts, poor ventilation and
damp surroundings In cold weather.
That dry, warm, well-ventilated and
lighted quarters for the hog make sur
prising gains in the profits is now firm
ly established. The hog under such
favorable. circumstances eats less and
gains more rapidly.
1t is the hogs that are provided with
comfortable quarters that are real
mortgage filters. To secure the maxi
mum returns make up your mind to
farrow the pigs early and get them on
the market early in the fall.
To do this you need q good warm
building.
There are many different ways to
plan and build a community hog house.
and most every farmer has his own
ideas. However, there are certain
things that have come to be regarded

He had placed his arm across his
breast, and at that moment he felt the
crinkle of dampened paper In his inner
pocket. He pulled out-the two pages
Of Masterman's letter.
Donald unfolded 1t. It was quite
legibie, In spite Of the stains OF sea
water; but now for the first time he
realized that he held not one page, but
two. They had become stuck together
In some manner. and Donald had not
perused the second gage.
1t was IN the form Of a postscript,
and was the last sheet Of the original
manuscript. which Masterman, In his
characteristic way, had inserted after
the first. He had written:

drinks close to the ground. TO have
everything conducive to cleanliness is
correct in principle and in practice.
2. Safety and comfort. Provide low
sills; even, smooth, but not slippery
floors; wide and relatively high door
ways; life-saving pig tenders; closed
drains; comfortable, roomy pens, and
suitable doors, to avoid unfavorable
consequences.
8. Convenience. The possibilities of
arrangement which may lessen the
time and labor required Is to be kept
uppermost In mind. Particular con-
sideration Is well given to suitable
alleyways, doors and windows; abund-
ant water supply and storage bins; ad-
Unstable ventilators and shade devices;
handy litter carriers; feeding troughs /;
successful floor and tile drainage; ac-
cessible feeding floors; general supply
room, and other details of construction
and minor equipment. Those factors
which save steps and make the labor
more productive, as well as easier, in
crease the general all-around conve-
nience.
8. Serviceability. To be useful every
day in the year; to be suitable for shell
tering other animals than swine, such
as sheep, cattle, horses, chickens and
others, and to provide space for a sue
cessful sales pavilion when necessary,
all help to extend the general utility
of the hog house. To secure the larg-
est housing space with the least ex-
pense is the goal.
10. Sufficient size to shelter advan-
tageously. The capacity should be con-
sistent with the demands for housing
space.
IL. Durability. In general, that build
ing giving the longest continuous serv-
ice is the most valuable.
IL. Reasonably low f~rst.cost. Con-
sistent with the service rendered, the
initial cost per pen should be kept low.
13. Minimum cost Of maintenance.
A maximum Of satisfactory service for
the lowest possible upkeep charges Is
the ideal.
IA. Pleasing appearance. To har-
rnonize with the general agricultural
surroundings; to be neat in architectu-
raj design; and to be sensible In con-
struction, are the three leading con-
siderations in planning for the attrac-
tiveness of the community or other hog
houses.

ed combines to a remarkable extent all

the physical torment; perhaps some
inkling Of q higher law did reach his
mind before the end.
But n It did. II was only a momen'

He felt the cold embrace of the leath-

zied that they even reached the ears
OF those who watched on the shore.
He shrieked and fought, but he had
as much chance for life as primitive
man caught by a herd Of dinosaurs.
For a few moments his bobbing body
was visible, ~grotesquely sprawled upon
the reddening waves. Then IT was rent
limb from limb.
1t disappeared, and, fighting over
their prey, the sea devils played the
last act of their own drama. They fell
upon each other. 1t was the tragedy
Of the hive--the annual massacre Of
the drones: only they were all drones.
Nature had no more use for them. low
that their queen was gone.
Never had such a spectacle been
cen by man before, The entire face
Of the inland sea was a tumuit of
fighting monsters. The dead grew into
visibility as they became thicker. The
floating patches of white almost OBJ
scured the waves. And still the fight
became more frenzied.
They tore each other and them
selves, they dashed the waves into
foam; animal debris floated from end
to end Of the ford. AS the dead drift
ed toward the shore the struggle be-
came more furious IN the heart Of the
sea.
Gradually 1t subsidized. The last OF
the herd was gone. The battle that
was to decide the fate Of the world
had been a civil one, and fought out
without mans agency.

as practically essential. and 1t should
be the aim Of every farmer or rural
builder undertaking a hog-house prop
osition to provide for these require
ments.
Professor Davidson of Iowa State
college has summed up as follows:
1. Warmth. Reasonably warm shell
ter, In season, with smallest ranges Of
temperature, is demanded by swine, If
best returns in health and profits are
to be counted on.
2. Dryness. A dry, w~ell-drained
floor and dry, tight roof and walls are
quite essential. Masonry construction
which provides for hollow air space
commends itself.
3. Abundance Of light and direct
sunlight. The advantage of good light
ing such as is noticed in Photographic
galleries, not necessarily the direct
sunlight, is very effective and is be-
coming greatly appreciated nowadays
In modern structures. Direct sunlight
should sometime strike every part OF
the interior Of the house daily, espe-
cially the floors Of the pens In the epe-
cial narrowing months Of February,
March and April. Much general diff
fused light supplemented with direct
Sunlight is q happy combination.
4. Shade. The shade of trees a
harcly be improved upon, but provision
should be made In houses for the best
tire substitutes. Shade Is most es-
seatiai In the hot and dry months of
midsummer, although highly desirable
and effective at other times.
q. Ventilation. An abundance Of
fresh. pure air Of satisfactory humid
ity, provided without draft. Is de-
handed.
8. Sanitation The cleaning and dis
injecting Of the hog house Is impera-
tive. Smooth walls and floors without
Inaccessible crevices are TO be empha-
sized. Masonry construction offers su-
ceyior sanitary advantages. The re-
moval Of litter Is to be encouraged.

ROW over BONDS
Senators Object to Income Tax
Exemption.
Would Benefit Only the Rich,
They Say.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Fostered by
fear of creating in the United States a
bondholding class, opposition is brew
ing in the senate to the bill Secretary
McAdoo has asked congress to pass,
exempting from taxation the interest
on liberty bonds.
While the house is expected to pass
the measure quickly. and with scarcely
any Opposition, it may be tied up in
the senate SO long as to cause buyers
of bonds in the fourth liberty loan
some uncertainty as to whether the
not.
An Inducement to Wealthy.
The measure is designed to help
bond sales. But opposing senator's
pointed out today that 1t would not
affect the hundreds of thousand of
Americans who buy one or two bonds.
1t is an inducement to the man of
means, to whom the government looks
for large bond purchases.
While no senator wants to impede
or hurt the liberty loan, some believe
the exemption bill is not necessary to
insure success of the loan. They de-
clare it just gives, the rich an oppor-
ties, while the workers must pay tax
to pay the interest on the bonds.
Hold Change Unnecessary.
Allied military successes and the
general feeling that the war is going
well and that by putting forth maxi
mum efforts now America can bring
victory. should and will be enough to
make the loan a success, these senators
assert.
The house took up the bond bill
with the expectation Of passing it to-
day.
House Strong for 1t.
The report of the house ways and
means committee in favor of the
measure was unanimous, and urged
the passage as an aid to the success of
the coming liberty loan campaign.
Immediately following the passage
of the bond bill. reading of the
$8,OOO,0O0.000 revenue bill for amend
ments will begin with probability that
the measure will get thru the lower
body by the middle of next week,
Notwithstanding the administra-
tons request for speed on the tax
bill, house leaders have allowed the
last two days to be taken up with long
partisan political speeches on both
sides. Out of a dozen speakers yester-
day only three made any mention of
the revenue bill. Meyer London, New
York Socialist. ended the day with an
inquiry as to whether members be-
lieved the boys in the trenches cared
anything for their political recrimina-
tons.
