Experimenting With Lumber.

A forest-products laboratory is about
to be established in West Australia
which, 1t is hoped, will develop into an
institution similar to those at Madison,
Wis.,, and at the McGill university,
Montreal, Canada. Investigations have
already shown that without doubt there
exist forest growths In Australia from
which a satisfactory paper pulp can be
made. The supply Of raw material is
plentiful, and pulping mill could work
on some of the native woods without
in any way reducing the supply of mer-
charitable timber. AT present the
wastage of good timber is so extensive
that it is estimated that about go per
cent of the timber felled for milling
purposes never reaches the form of
salable lumber-Popular Mechanics

Sows bred in November will farrow
during the month of March, which
gives the young pigs an early start,
thing sought by all successful swine
raisers. But when young pigs come
along in March, both they and their
mothers need a weather-tight, sunny
house, or not many of the youngsters
will be brought to maturity.
1t is this profitable method of
breeding that is, breeding for early
spring farrowing-that has caused
farm building architects to design
such. hog houses as the one shown
in the accompanying illustration.
This building is of substantial frame
construction, set on concrete foun-
dalton. Its outside walls are of
matched siding, so that the wind and
cold cannot get in. AT the same time
it is so designed that maximum of
spring sun will be admitted to all
parts Of the house, adding the suns
heat to the heat thrown off by the
sows. The windows also permit good
ventilation, which prevents the air
In the house from becoming moist
and "clammy."
The hog house shown in the illus
tration is 81 feet long and "A feet
wide. This size will accommodate II
pens, each 6 feet wide and 8 feet
long. A six-foot alley, or passageway,
extends through the center of the
building, for the convenience of the
caretaker in feeding and removing
the litter. Each pen has a feed
trough at the feeding alley. A part
of the pen floor is covered with
planks, raised from the concrete so as
to permit a circulation of air under
meath. This plank floor holds the
plentiful supply Of bedding that little
pigs need and prevents the young
sters from coming in contact with the
cold cement floor. Around the three
sides of the pen is a rail, raised
slightly from the floor, to give the
pigs a place where they will be safe
from being crushed by the mother.
The building should be set on site
slightly higher than the ground
around it, so as to provide good drain

itably.
Farmers in the corn belt, and I'm
every part of the country, are turning
more and more to livestock raising,
now that the prices Of farm products
cattle, and thus marketing it ION the
hoof" brings better price than
though the grain was sold in its nat
ural state. 1t is proven by records
of prices that live stock have depreci-
ated in value far less than grains.
However, there is not much profit
In hog raising unless a maximum num-
Der of the pigs narrowed are saved.
The first few weeks In a pigs life
are the most important. for upon the
start the youngsters get depends the
speed with which they can be fitted
for market. Unless they have the
proper housing, are protected from
cold, dampness and drafts the pigs
are apt to die, or their growth be re-
tarded.
Such a building as the one shown
can be built in winter as well as sum-
mer. The concrete for the foundation
may be laid in a day, when the tenn
perature is above freezing, and chen
should be well protected from frost.
1t requires at least three days for con-
crete to properly set In winter, when
the temperature Is at freezing or low
er. But under no circumstances
should wet concrete be allowed to
freeze. If it does it will crumble and
be of little value as a building foun-
datiOn.
After the foundation for the build
ing is set, the work of framing and
enclosing the building can go ahead
regardless of the weather. When the
building is complete the concrete floor
can be laid, as the building can be
kept warm with stove. By using
these methods the farmer may have q
good, warm house in which to-place
his cows and when the pigs arrive
they will find a healthful place In
which to get good start In life be-
fore spring comes. Farrowed in
March the pigs will be weaned about
the time pasture is ready.

was the opportunity of all others to
explore 1t, unhampered by any one,
just Crusoe and I alone, in the fash
ion that left me freest to Indulge my
dreams.
/ waited until the Scotchman's back
was safely turned, because if he saw
me setting forth on this excursion he
was quite certain to command me to
return, and had no intention of sub
hitting to his dictatorial ways and
yet was not quite sure how l was sue
cessfully to defy him.
The retreating tide had left deep
pools behind, each a little cosmos of
fairy seaweeds and tiny scuttling
crabs and rich and wonderful forms of
life which were strange to me. Cru
soc and were very much interested,
and fingered good deal on the way.
But at last we reached the great arch
way, and passed with suddenness
which was like a plunge into cool
water from the hot glare of the tropic
sunshine into the green shadow of the
cavern.
At the lower end, between two
arches, black, water-worn rock paw
ing rang under ones feet. Further
in under the point the floor Of the
cave was covered with white sand.
All the great shadowy place was muir
muring like a vast sea-shell.
l wished l could visit the place In
darkness. 1t would be thrice as mys-
terious, filled with it's hollow whis-
pering echoes, as in the day. From
the ledge far above my head led off
those narrow, teasing crevices in which
the three explorers did their unre-
warded burrowing. 1 could see the
strands of a rope ladder lying coiled
at the edge of the shelf, where 1t was
secured by spikes. The men dragged
down the ladder with bOat-hook when
they wanted to ascend. l looked about
with hope that perhaps they had left
the boat-hOOk somewhere.
l found no boat-hook, but instead a
spade, which had been driven deep into
the sand and left, too firmly imbedded
for the tide to bear away. At once a
burning hope that l, alone and unas-
sisted, might bring to light the treas
ure of the Bonny Lass seethed in my
veins. 1 jerked the spade loose and
fell to.
now discovered the great truth that
digging for treasure is the most thrill
ing and absorbing occupation known
to man. Time ceased to be, and the
weight of the damp and. close-packed
sand seemed that Of feathers. This
temporary state of exaltation passed,
to be sure, and the sand got very
heavy, and my back ached, but still l
dug. Crusoe began to fuss about and
bark. He came and tugged at my
skirt, uttering an uneasy whine.
BE quiet, Crusoe!' 1 commanded,
threatening him with my spade. The
madness of the treasure-lust possessed
me. 1 was painting now, and my
hands began to feel like baseball mitts,
