Illustration. 1t is Of frame cOnstruc-
ton, set on II concrete foundation and
will hold IA sows and their filters. The
dimensions are 4S by 20 feet. To get,
the most Of the early spring sunlight
this house is run east and west, and
has double sets of roof windows, one
set to permit sunshine to filter into the
pens on the south side Of the building
and the other into the pens on the
north side.
Two suction ventilators In the roof
provide for a circulation of fresh air,
without there being drafts near the
floor, where the young pigs and their
mothers are penned. Surrounding the
building is concrete feeding floor
where the corn and dry feed is thrown
for the hogs.
Accompanying the illustration is the
floor plan of the building showing the
dimensions of the pens and the feed
ing alley that extends through the CEN
ter.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the need of fresh air, dry beds and
sunshine in a hog house. These three
essentials to healthy young pigs cost
nothing and can be obtained in abun-
dance by planning the house correctly
and constructing it according to the
modern knowledge Of what is best for
the animals. ~ E...
BY proper care in laying the con-
crete foundations and floor this hog
house can be built at any season of
the year. BY heating the aggregates
of the concrete and covering the foun-
1ation and floor SO as 70 prevent freez-
| ing until the concrete has fully set.
which, in cold weather, requires at
least six days, the work can be done
and the superstructure erected in time
for the early spring litters.

Dice Gaming Ancient Sport,

Gaming with dice and cards has pre-
vailed from the earliest times. We
do not read of gambling houses in the
classic literature OF Greece, but there
can be no doubt that the vice was very
widely practiced. in private houses. In
Rome, under the emperors, gambling
prevailed extensively. Augustus and
most Of the succeeding sovereigns were
passionately fond of the dice, and the
Emperor Claudius wrote book on the
subject. A Roman would transport
to Il gambling resort his whole fortune
coins, papers and chattels-and,
after losing all, would even seize the
cloaks Of his slaves TO. stake on a
change of luck. @

stab the chance-met stranger. He had
a dearly loved nephew, and one night
he met him in the dark, and not rec
ognizing him followed his usual Gus
tom of homicide. H..
The next day, mad with grief, Don
Juan went to the priest, who ordered
him to say his beads at midnight be-
fore church and near the public gall
lows. He tried three times before he
was able to do so, and then, the le-
gend says, angels took him and hanged
him. The basis Of the story lies in
the fact that a man of the name Of
Juan Manuel did stab at least one
man, and his body was found hanging
on the public gallows without any
explanation ever being made as to how
it got there. ZE...,

bred young pig to marketable size In
half the time. required by q ''scrub,"
and the amount Of feed both consume
per day is practically the same.
Before the days Of efficient hog
houses, a farmer considered himself
lucky If half the litter was brought to
maturity. Young pigs are subject to
many diseases and have little stamina
to withstand them. 4 Pneumonia is one
of them; The pigs that were Uttered
in the early. spring and were not
housed in weather-proof, well-yenti-
lated and warm quarters had and still
have little chance Of reaching ma
turity. s.,ss a.
It was with these facts. in mind that
the modern hog house was designed.
And in passing 1t might be said that
no type of farm building has been
given more attention in the agricul-
tural colleges than hog houses.
The modern hog house is well
constructed building. 1t usually is set
on q concrete foundation, with a con-
crete floor. The side walls are wealth
er-tight, and the roof Is designed 50
that a maximum of sunlight can reach
the pens on both sides Of the building.
Also some system Of ventilation, either
through the roof or by the suction ven
tilatOrs that are used on every modern
dairy barn, is provided. Half of the
floors, whether they be of concrete or
cinders, are covered with heavy
boards. raised slightly above the
ground. On this half floor there Is
placed plenty Of bedding, SO that the
young pigs will be kept dry-with en-
phasis on "1ry"-and warm. Fl
When the farm has such n hog
house, the sows farrow in early spring
ana again in the fall, which is as ma.
ture Intended. Late February pigs are
kept in the warm, sunny house, and
get the start that makes them healthy
and strong when they are weaned and
ready for the pasture IN spring. There
they develop rapidly and are of mar
ketable size when there is small sup
ply and better prices.
One of the modern types of hog
houses is shown in the accompanying

PAY YOUR RED CROSS DUES.

Members of the Red Cross who
have not renewed their yearly sub
scriptions are earnestly requested to
do so at once. The work in the
county cannot be carried on unless
they do. The nurse receives nothing
from either the County Court or
School Board.
She has examined during the year
2070 children. Sixty-five have had
their teeth attended to.
Nine have had tonsils or adenoids
removed.
Many children have been clothed
for school. If the county and town
do not consider this work worth while
it will stop.
Surely one dollar year is not
much to ask for when you think OF
your neighbours needs.

The identity of the culprits who
tied barbed wire acrosss the Lee
town road at the northern end of
Ransom nearly dark one evening
about September 1, and damaged an
automobile owned by J. S. Carr, of
near Leetown, has been established
by Traffic Officer C. M. Kearns, af-
ter careful investigation of the
case. The offenders proved to be
three boys from IL to Ia years old,
all living in Ransom. The wire was
stretched from the fence on one side
the road to a tree on the other side,
two pieces bling used, imperfecsly
looped together in the middle of the
road. After arranging the wire in
position, the boys concealed them
selves in the weeds along the road
side fence, to await results. The
first car that passed struck the wire,
which easily pulled apart without do
ing any damage to the machine.
Next came the Carr machine. The
wire caught the wind shield and
broke it before coming apart. When
the boys found that the evidence
against them was known they fearing
a Reform School sentence, confess
ed. Their parents agreed to pay
for repairing Mr.. Cars machine.
