PITFALLS FOR PLUMP WOMAN
Contrasting Materials and Distinct
Lines Must Be Avoided II One

The plump woman should avoid con-
trusting colors and materials. Anything
that goes to form distinct lines is fatal
IL one would look slender. Large pat
terms and wide stripes are equally bad.
A modest pin stripe is permissible, bat
the awning effects are not for the well
developed. Do not draw In the lines ut
the waist, this only makes more notice
able the fullness of the hips and bust.
The bodice should always be long. II

Short skirts are among the impos-
sibilitles. Every inch taken from the
length of the gown Is one inch dedact-

proportions to become more and more

Concerning hnts, neither the very
small nor the very large will do for

a long season. If these are not avail
able, small plots of several temporary
pasture crops may be used; for exam
pie, rape, peas and oats, peanuts, vel
vet beans, sorghum, cowpeas, and soy
beans. BY using any Of these forage
crops the boar can be maintained over
the summer with a very small amount
Of grain, while If they were not used
several pounds of gram per day would
be required. On pasture feed only
enough grain to keep the boar In breed
ing condition. Very often, on good
pasture. none will be required. Guard
against feeding too much grain and
getting the boar too fat.
The boar should be confined to a
paddock and not run with the rest Of
the herd. II he is with another boar,
they are apt to fight, and IL he is
placed with the breeding herd, the
sows will farrow at indefinite dates. 1t
would be impossible under these con-
dtions to keep records of the time of
service, and no provision could be
made to care for the sow previous to
farrowlng.

HOW TO TREAT EWES
AND CARE FOR LAMBS
Young Animals Intended for
Breeding Stock Should Be
Weaned Before Five Months.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Lambs kept for breeding stock
should be weaned when from four to
FIVE months Of age. The lambs intend
ed for market, on the other hand,
should attain marketable weights be-
fore they are five months Of age and
should be weaned at the time they
are sold.
Lambs at weaving time should be
kept for four or five days ut least on
the old pasture, as they do not fret
as much as in strange place. The
ewes should be removed to another
pasture as far away as possible from
the lambs. If the feed on this pasture
be little scant, so much the better,
for this will help check the milk flow.
The ewes and lambs should not be
turned in together again, for n large
amount of milk from eve that has
not been sucked for two or three days
Is liable to cause digestive disturb
nnces In the lamb.
At weaving time the ability of eve
to produce good lamb is often ruined
because the necessary care is not taxi
en- to see that she is dried of prop
erly. A little care at this time will be
well repaid. Two or three days after
the separation the ewes should be
MIXED out. All of the milk need not
be drawn from the udder, but enough
should be taken to leave the udder
soft and pllable. Mark with colored
chalk ewes needing no further atten-
ton. In about three days the ewes
should be MIXED out again and the
drys marked. Further attention should
be given four or five days later TO
those not dry. No effort should be
spared to maintain every breeding ami
NAL in sound and useful condition.

The progressive farmer Is careful Of
the appearance Of his farm. Whether
this Is because of the fact that he
knows 1t has an effect on the sale value
of the farm, because Of his personal
pride or because of the influence of i'm
proved farming methods and SANTA
ton, makes little difference. 1t is suf-
ficient that this tendency is in force.
Naturally the appearance of the build-
ings will determine very largely the ap-
pearance of the farm.
Some of the best farms are built ac-
cording to definite plan which prede-
termlnes just where each building is to
be placed, the type Of building which it
Is to be and the style of all
Of the buildings Is made to con-
form to a selected standard. The
scheme may even be carried to
conformity between building ma
teriaA used. The most noticeable man.
ner In which farm buildings may be de-
signed to follow a selected style Is In
the shape of the roof. The roof of a
barn constitutes large proportion of
the total external surface and its shape
will, therefore, have decided effect
upon the appearance.
There are three principal types of
roof which are used on farm buildings.
These are the pitched or gable roof, the
gambrel roof and the gothic roof. In

DISEASE OF LITTLE
PIGS IS DANGEROUS
"Sore Mouth" Has Caused Much
AvoidabIe Loss This Season !.
Treatment Must Be Quick.

That "sore mouth" disease of little
pigs has caused much avoidable loss on
stock farms this season is reported by
DIR. f. Il. Hadley, veterinarian of the
Wisconsin experiment station.
"When every farmer is trying hard
to save every pig In every litter be-
cause of the urgent demand for pork
and pork products, 1t is imperative
that attention be called to this dis
ease," says Doctor Hadley. "Hidden
In the soft tissues of the mouth, this

pain and swelling in the gums
make 1t difficult for little pigs affected
with sore mouth disease to nurse or
eat. This Is the first symptom of the
disease. Later, ulcers with dark red
borders and cheese-like centers de-
velop.
'Death caused by absorption of pol
sons from the sores will occur in few
days, unless treatment is given speed
lily. Wounds to the gums caused by
tooth cutting or other injury enable
germs to enter and start the trouble.
"When the disease is suspected, ex-
anime the mouth OF every pig. Those
showing sores in the mouth should be
treated separately, as follows:
"Swab the ulcers with solution Of
potassium permanganate, made by dis
solving one ounce Of the crystals in
two quarts OF freshly boiled warm wa
ter. Then wash out the mouth with
this disinfectant fluid. Bad cases
should be treated twice daily, shd all
cases at least once each day until h sal.
ing Is complete"
TO prevent the spread of sore mouth
Doctor Hadley advises that the heads
Of the pigs be dipped in the same solu-
tion and held there for few minutes.
Pens must be cleaned up and disin-
fected with some reliable commercial
disinfectant, prepared and applied &C
cording to regular directions OF the
manufactures.

ATTENTION TO HORSES

That the efficiency Of the average
farm horse can be increased % per

cautions, is the opinion of DIR. @. w.

tural college.
'Water the horse frequently during

bell. "He needs large quantities Of

thoroughly with cold water, but do
not turn the hose on his body or legs.
Wash his shoulders every night for a
few weeks with cold salt water.
"Allow him to stop in the shade for
few minutes whenever possible for a
brief rest and a chance to breathe
freely and deeply.
''Watch the work horse carefully.
Dropping ears, unsteadiness Of gait,
short, quick breathing, and sudden
ceasing to sweat are danger signals
demanding prompt attention. They
mean that the horse is getting too hot
and that he must have shade, cooler
air and rest.
'If the horse suffers a heat stroke,
protect him from the sun, remove the
harness, apply cold to the head

mouth and nostrils, and sponge his en-.

"Groom the work horse thoroughly.
This will save feed and will increase
his health, vigor and power.
"Remember that the horse produces
the greatest amount of net power from
the feed and care provided when driv-
ing load Mt moderate gait, hence
greater and more efficient power and
energy can be secured by increasing
the load rather than the speed of the
work horse"

There might be conditions such that

necessary, however, the following facts
are considered: The gable roof pro-

three types mentioned for given

larger volume for the given height and
the gothic roof gives the largest volume
Of the three types.
The gable roof has no particular ad-
vantages from the structural stand

binary. This matter of appearance, to-
gether with the structural advantages
already mentioned, are sufficient to
recommend such barn to any farmer
who wishes to follow plan somewhat
different from the usual layout found
on farms throughout the country. 1t is
noticeable that the farms which are
carefully planned usually are the large
ones built practically in their entirety
at one time. This fact is to be regret-
ted, since the smaller farmer, IL he
cares to do so, may consult With the
builder and building material dealer
and plan his farm in just as systematic
a manner as that used for the largest
farms. Progressive building material

parts of the country are rapidly equip

useful suggestions to the farmers who

gambrel roof has the advantage that
1t is adapted to the various forms Of
plank frame construction, which Is a
type of construction that has replaced
the heavy timber and beam barns in
many parts Of the country. Its princi-
pal advantages are that 1t requires no
lumber having thickness greater than
two inches, 1t may be framed by n
