of his lower jaw as far as the left
ear, causing the loss Of nearly all
of his teeth. The animal then gored
and trampled the PROSTATE man be-
fore help could interfere.

Movable Hog House Favored.
The farmer who. has a large num-
ber of pigs can well afford to build
movable hog house. Such houses,
designed by the Iowa experiment sta
tion at Ames, have been used for a
number Of years and have proven
their worth. Recently requests for
plans were received from Italy where
some farmers had heard of the houses
and wanted to try them. These
houses are inexpensive, easily kept
clean and can be pulled from one
field to another. They can be turned
so that sunlight is allowed to enter
and are arranged SO that plenty of
ventilation is provided for. The fea-
ture Of the house is the manner in
which sunlight is allowed to enter
through the top.
The movable hog house is also cas-
fly disinfected at any time and II
several are used the hogs and pigs
can be transferred from one to an
other while cleaning is being done.
Rotation Of hog pastures prevents
infestations by parasites. such as
worms which get into the soil and
affect the entire herd.

TOOLS AND MACHINERY RUST
Best Plan to Prevent Depreciation Is
Liberal Use Of Paint and
Grease In Spring.

Many farm tools and machines rust
and rot out rather than wear out.
The best way to prevent this deprecia-
ton, which, unlike wear, goes on both
winter and summer If the tools are
exposed, is to use paint and grease to
save the cost of new tools or parts
In the spring. A little paint on
wooden parts prevents warping, check
ing, and rottlng; oil on wearing sur
faces of cultivator. moving machine.
or binder, and common axle grease
smeared on the bright parts Of plows,
will cut winter depreciation In two.

The planting of windbreaks, which

state forest department, has proven, in
little over year. to be very popu-
lar undertaking wherever it has been
taken up. Demonstrations of wind
breaks have been established under
the direction of forestry experts, and
trees have been furnished by the for
est experiment station at Cloquet. In
spections have been made by repre-
sentative Of the forestry department.
In II counties 72 demonstrations of
windbreaks have been given. This
work has been done through 1920 and

Sive. The military guard of honor
stands at attention" as distinguished
men eulogize the dead The President
of the United States, the secretary of
war and other members of the cab
inet committees of congress, the chief
of staff and other general officers, as
well as thousands of relatives and
friends have attended these memorial
ceremonies.
Relatives from every state In the
Union, even from fnr-nway Alaska,
have come to Hoboken to meet their
boys on "The Pier of the Dead"
AS soon as possible after notifying
relatives of the return of body, prep
arations are made for shipment to It's
final destination. A telegram goes
from the transportation division of the
Hoboken office to the nearest of kin.
advising of the departure of the body
from Hoboken, the hour due for ar
rival, and the railroad by which it Is
sent. When no relative or authorized
friend comes to receive and accom-
pany the body to Its destination, 1t is
placed In charge of military escort
who remain as guard until the destIna-
ton is reached and the body is formal
ly turned over to the family.
Another matter given careful atten-
ton Is in providing the escort to ac-
company the body home. One soldier
Is selected who can speak the language
of the family to whom he is taking it.
It Is the duty of this military escort
to obtain the written receipt for the
hn rfoI rarfiHpatn Those
records are exceedingly important and
are carefully preserved In the ceme-
terial division, because the war risk
bureau calls on the division for GER
tification that the funeral has taken
place, and on these records depends
| the authority for that bureau to re-
imburse relatives for funeral expenses
incurred by them. 1t is to be noted
that the quartermaster corps bears all
expenses up to the point of turning
over the body to the nearest of kin,
at its final destination.
Sometimes many bodies are to be
sent to the same city; in these cases a
special train Is provided for the pur-
pose and a military escort for each
car. Again 1t may be that trains leav-
| ing HobOken carry many bodies whose
destinations are in several states. In
such cases, bodies are segregated ac-
cording to state and placed in cars
which will convey them to the dis
tribution point for that state.
There are sixteen Of these distribu-
tion points: Atlanta, Ca; Arlington,
Va; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Chicago, Ill.,;
Columbia, 8. c.; Columbus. o.; De-
troit, Mich; Ell Paso, Tex; Little
Rock, Ark; Louisville, KY; Omaha,
Neb.; Portland, Ore; San Antonio,
Tex; San Francisco, CAL; st. Paul,
MINI, and Washington, d. G. At the
railroad station at each of these
points, the cemeterial division has Its
representative who keeps In close
touch with the nearest army post or
camp from which detail of soldiers
for escort is provided to receive the
trains bearing the dead.
From this point each body has Its
military escort, and If requested. fir
ing squads IRE furnished for the
funeral, provided it can be arranged
