the little pigs and the sunlight into
contact is to allow them to run out
doors. But in the late winter and
of pigs are born, it is too cold for
them. They must be housed in build
ings that will protect them from cold
and drafts, but the building must be
SO constructed that there will be an
abundance of sunshine in their living
quarters.
This need of young pigs has been
thoroughly recognized by modern farm
building architects, and they have de-
signed buildings that will keep the
pigs and their mothers warm, allow
them plenty of fresh air without
drafts, and at the same time admit the
life and health-giving sunlight.
How this is accomplished is shown
by the building in the accompanying
illustration. This frame structure, "a
feet wide and 70 feet long, will house
20 sows and their young. 1t is set on
a concrete foundation and has a con-
crete floor. The floor enables the
ldTllcI W http llt lIOuSe cream dllu
sanitary. One half of the pen floors,
that half that is next the outside
walls of the building, is covered with
planks, raised an inch or so from the
concrete. This permits a circulation
of air underneath the planks, on
which the bedding is placed, and pre-
vents the pigs from coming in contact
with the cold, damp concrete.
But the most essential feature Of
this building is the windows in the
walls and roof. These windows are
so located that every bit of sunlight
available In February and March has
access to the pens, killing the disease
germs that thrive in the dark and
damp, and warming the interior of the
house. Later in the spring, the win
dows provide mean for greater ven
tilation of the house.
The pen partitions may be either of
wood or metal, the latter being pre-
ferred, as it is more sanitary. There
Is less chance for dirt to adhere TO it
than to wood also it is more easily
cleaned. Through the center of the
building is the feeding alley, sufficient
ly wide for a wagon to be driven
through for either distribution of feed
or removal of litter. Sunk into the
concrete floor is "A gutter, which may
be hosed out, and raised above 1t ar"
the feeding tronghs in front Of each
pen.

Hog raisers are in the same position
as every other manufacturer of food
stuffs-to earn a profit they must
raise more hogs at the least possible
cost.
h shortest cut to profitable hog
raising is to feed the little pigs and
their mothers plenty of sunshine-and
sunshine doesn't cost a cent-nature
provides it freely, more freely at some
times than at others, but no matter
how great or small is the supply, it
is free.
Sunshine keeps little pigs from con-
tracing disease; it keeps their pens
free from disease germs, and from
cold ana damp which are two deadly
enemies of the animals in their in
fancy. BY admitting plenty of sun
shine into their living quarters, a
greater proportion of each litter will
live to become sacrifices to the need
for ham and bacon, to say nothing of
pork chops.

stock has decreased less than any 9TH
er farm product. While feed Is cheap,
hogs are bringing a good price, com
~paratively. and hog raisers are much
encouraged over the prospects. How
ever. greater production at a less pro-
portionate cost means profit for the
farmer who markets his corn on the
hoof.
curing the last few months build
ing costs, or, rather, the cost of build
ing materials has beer reduced more
than % per cent. Lumber dealers
everywhere have revised their price
lists downward, and farmers who have
put off building for this reason can
now go ahead with a reasonable as
surance hat they will be getting their
buildings at a cost that has little
chance of being much lower for sew
eral years to come.
How much this building will cost
can be easily ascertained by consult
ing with the local lumber and build
ing material dealer and the contrac-
tor. If it is decided to go ahead with
construction work, it is the best policy
to build from plans, rs with the plans
before him the contractor has no ex-
euse for mistakes.
Building this year will be heavy, as
buildings are needed. both in the larg-
er cities, the rural communities and
on the farms. Those who take ad-
vantage of the spring eason to get
needed buildings erected, will be in a
position to properly house their live
stock and crops mex fall.

Ivy poisoning may be contracted by
touching shoes or clothing that has

the poison.
Specimens brought inside the house

when the character of the plant is dis
covered, it is thrown in the fire the re-
suits are worse, for the smoke will
carry the poison throughout the

science would have been just so much
in advance of its present state.
Explanation of the Cipher.
Bacon conceived the idea Of :, ex-
pressing every letter of a word which
he wanted to write in cipher by a syl-
liable and building the syllable into a
new word" he said. For example, If
the letter 'C is represented by 'GR.''
"A by ADJ and e. by ED the word
Graded would spell Cat
THE principle cannot be used in this
way because, first, every word will be
represented in cipher by twice as many
letters. and second, no words can be
used in cipher except those of an even
number of letters. To meet these diff
culties Bacon lays down the rule that
successive syllables must end and be-
gin with the same letters, doubled let
tiers being dropped. Thus Cat may
be spelled in the Bacon cipher as fol-
lows: 'Go-ol-ld'; dropping. the double
letters, one gets the word Gold
No Wonder Secret Was Kept.
in reading the cipher you double
every letter except the first and last
and thus discover the syllables which
spell the word. But it is seldom pos
sible to find ,syllables which fulfill
these conditions and yet spell new
