as a number of houses do not have to
be visited to see that the windows are
not covered with snow or sleet, or
otherwise obstructed.
(3) The artificial exercising Of
young pigs that are subject to thumps
and kindred troubles is easily done in
the community hog-house alley, a
number of litters being driven at the

trast to the more individualized ef-
fort necessarily practiced in the mov-
able isolated house system.
az Ventilation is more readily

hardly more, ventilators within close

The permanent house has its evil
dent advantages. It's years of service
may be increased; it permits of ma
sonry construction, so substantial and
fireproof; its floor is practically I'M
movable; built in to stay; it has
solid foundation, absent in the nova

rains, driving hail, deep SHOWS and ex-
treme temperatures are more easily
withstood in that the structure is nat
urally tighter and better built gen
orally. The havoc-wrecl1ing tornado
is not so likely to tear the masonry,
or even the wooden community perma-
nent house from its foundation and
supports as in the case of the more
movable type of structure.
| The direct sunshine is usually more
practically secured in the large house
| because of the better natural advan-
/ tages of greater height, wider and
! longer dimensions, and bigger roof.
| Greater provision can also be made
for indirect lighting, inasmuch as the
type of construction permits of this
with comparative ease and safety. Al
best it is more difficult, because of the
extra manipulation Of doors and Win
dows, to flood the small house with as
much light in proportion to the inte
rior as in the more ideal community
type exemplified in the accompanying
design.

"The happy medium lies in knowing
not only what to do but what not to

can a woman reform a bow-legged

SENSE OF SMELL IN HUMANS
Less Acute Than Those of Hearing
and Seeing Because 1t Is of
Less Need.

When a man climbed into the trees
and spent generation after generation
running through the branches he had
little use for an acute sense Of smell,
for 1t was practically impossible to
trail his friends, his prey or his enc
mics through the trees, because they
left no such scent on the limbs as
they did upon the ground. Hearing
and seeing became more important
and were sharpened to take the place
of the dying olfactory talents. Doctor
Jones says that despite the poor con-
dition of our noses as gatherers of in
formation, the smelling sense "still
shows a subtle power as a memory
sense"

Timepieces Need Care

Clocks will keep good time if they
are not wound too tightly and never
allowed to run down. An eight-day
clock should be wound once in four
days, and then half or little more than
half way each time. A watch that
is wound twice day will keep better
time than if it is wound up quite tight
every "a hours.
