The satisfactory hog house provides
warmth, dryness, abundance Of light

To meet these requirements the house
need not be expensive. AS a matter Of
fact, many expensive hog houses are

possess all these requirements, while
many less expensive ones properly

COST OF CLEAN MILK.

There has been too much indiffer-
ence on the part of the consumer with
respect to the cleanliness of milk. To
many Of them desire to buy milk at a
low price without regard to quality.
Dirty milk may prove to be expensive
as gift while clean milk may be
economical even at high price; the
cheapest article is often the most ex-
pensive.
A higher price for clean milk may be
a cheap insurance against some form

True Gospel of Work.

Work is the glory and delight of
life, and the only acceptable excuse
for being in this world. and the OBJ
ject of all practical investigations of
the principle of fatigue and recovery
is to find out, not what is the least
possible amount OF. work that hu-
man being can get along ON, but what
is the greatest amount that he can do
without decreasing his working capac-
ity. Such is the gospel of work. which
those who are not of the elect may
regard as hard MISUNDERSTANDING.

The unicorn which assists the lion
in uphOlding the British Royal coat of

an actual prototype in the chiru, an

horns, but it is of SO pugnaciOus a dis
position that it often loses one of them.

PERSONAL ATTENTION TO
PIGS WILL REDUCE
HIGH MORTALITY.

Faithful, personal attention to
the sOWS at farrOwing time, even
though it means long hours of
hard work by day and by night,
is the only assurance that the
1918 war litters can be made to
reach the necessary high aver
age. The hog grower who is on
the job at this season will be
able to save the lives of many
pigs that might otherwise perish
in passing through the hazards
of the first few days. In eX-
tremely cold weather the pigs
will be in danger of chilling un-
less the hog house is heated.
To remedy this, place few
heated bricks in the bottom of
a basket or small box. Cover
with chaff or straw and put a
cloth over the top to keep in
the heat. Unless the SOW OBJ
jects too seriously the pigs may
be rubbed dry with a soft cloth .
and placed in a receptacle as
fast as they arrive. The de- :
tails of attention which the SOW
and the pigs need at narrowing :
time are set forth in a recently ,
revised publication of the Unit .
ed States Department of Agri-
culture, "Swine Management" .

of sickness. It is gratifying to note
specialists of the United States de.
partment of agriculture say, that there
is an increasing demand for good
clean milk. This demand has result.
ed in more stringent regulations con.
cerning the sanitary conditions asso.
ciated with the milk supply. Compli.
ance with these sanitary rules re.
quires additional care, attention and,
expense on the part of the producer of
the milk, and while tnis expense may
not be large, it is only fair that the
consumer pay his share.

Every owner of brood sow, whcth-
er he lives on large farm and has
many, or whether he is 4 suburbanite
and owns one, should feel Il personal
responsibility to see that the pig lit
ters born this spring are received
With the utmost care. That means the
matter Of providing proper housing
for the brood soWs, and their young
should have immediate attention. Say
Ing every pig possible in order that
one of the most urgent war needs Of
the nation-more pork-can be sup
piled. should be the aim Of every man
who owns hogs.
The high mortality among young
pigs in some parts of the country can
be materially reduced if proper hous-
ing and feed are provided for the sows.
investigations of the mortality among
pigs on the reclamation projects show
that approximately one-third of the
pigs born dfe before reaching the Wean-
ing age. Losses on several northern
projects last season were even above
this average because of a severe sea
son. According to one investigation
which covered about fifty herds, repre-
5enting $50 brood sOws, the average
loss was about SO per cent, while some
farmers lost 50 to 20 per cent Of the
pigs.
Death Rate Is Large.
That the average death rate Of
young pigs, not only on the projects,
but elsewhere, is unnecessarily large,
and that losses are in a large measure

1t has been found that the larger
losses usually occur on farms where
the housing facilities are poor. In
one investigation it was learned that
where good hog houses We're used
the average number Of pigs raised in

the housing was poor the average mum.

3 1-10. The average saving, therefore
where good houses We're used, amount.

There are many kinds of satisfac

comparatively low cost. Anyone Of
these will soon pay for itself in the in
creased number of pigs saved BotE
the individual house and the colony
hog house have a place on the hog
farm. Both give very satisfactory re-
suits if they are properly constructed
If only one can be had the colony
house usually is to be preferred, es
pecially where large number of sOws
are to be kept. The farrowing period
usually extends over several weeks il
there are many sOws. In such cases
each pen in the house may be used foI
two or more sows during the period.
Assuming that two sows use pen and

ters provided two additional pigs are
