this arrangement the windows In the
side wall provide sunlight for the
pens on the near side and the roof
windows admitting the sunlight to the
pens on the far side of the building.
The other side wall, which faces the
north is solid, thus keeping out the
wind from that direction.
The pens may be of steel, which,
because OF paint and the shape Of the
round bars, make them more sanitary.
or they may be Of planks. The former
are set into the concrete foundation
while the latter are attached to the

prefer the pens so constructed that
they may be removed in summer, thus

Each pen is fioored with planks
raised slightly from the concrete.
These floors cover half the pens
which gives the sows raised section
on which the bedding is placed. With
plenty Of bedding and a space be-
tween the planks and concrete, the
small pigs will be warm and free from
danger from chills
Such building as this is not ex-
pensive when it's profit-producing abil-
ity Is considered. It permits the
owner to produce double the number
Of pigs possible without such huild
ing and enables him to have the pigs
come so that they may be fitted for
market when prices are best. It also
saves greater percentage Of the lit
tiers, and gives the pigs good start

RYE AND VETCH HELP SOILS
Combination Makes Fine Crop for

Rye and hairy vetch make a very
fine soiling crop for cattle. Vetch
with rye also greatly adds to the crop

legume, contributes source for nitro

ture believes that attempts at eradi-
cation are likely to fail and that, In
order to check the spread of this dis
ease. attention should be given to the
growing of varieties immune or high
ly resistant to the disease. In Aus
tralia, where conditions are similar to
those In some parts of this country,
fields sometimes show losses as high
as 20 per cent and the infection In
general is like that of bunt or sinking
smut in our own wheat-growing re-
gions. In two states where this smut
has been found parts of fields have
shown losses as high as 20 per cent,
but 1t is doubtful If field losses there
have ever been as much as 5 per cent
Of the crop.
Highly Resistant Varieties.
A number of varieties of wheat
grown in this area have been found
not to take the disease at all, or to be
highly resistant to 1t. OF the soft red
winter wheats, Red Rock, Stoner or
Marvellous, Fulcaster, Mammoth Red
and Dietz are In this class. OF the
hard red winter wheats, Illinois 1O-11O,
Kanred, Illinois 12-41, and P-1O69, are
highly resistant, If not immune Nj
merous other strains and varieties
have shown high resistance, but some
varieties that have been very popular
in this district have been found to
take flag smut infection very readily.

investigations Indicate the probable
ity that the spores of the disease are
carried by the wind from field to field,
and for this reason it is doubtful If
any quarantine measures can be eff
fective In preventing it's spread. There
Ia strong indication that the growing
Of resistant varieties Is the least ex-
pensive and most dependable method
Of preventing loss. Crop rotation also
will help to keep the disease under
control, for, unless variety Is COM
pletely resistant, growing wheat after
wheat will increase the infection in a
field
Farmers within or near the infested
area are urged to consult with their
county agents or state experiment sta
tion and arrange to get supplies Of
these recommended varieties for SOW

have In common several features that
sows and pigs need. Weather-tight
buildings to keep out the cold end
dampness; good floors that are raised
from the ground SO that the pigs will
not become chilled by contact with
the earth; plenty Of sunlight to pre-
vent disease and help warm the build
ings in winter; supply of fresh air
brought In by ventilation, which also
carries away the foul air.
Hog houses are constructed from
two general designs. One is known as
the saw-tooth roof, which has a half
monitor-shaped roof line, with win
dows set in the side Of the wall. These
windows, supplemented by windows
in the side wall Of the building proper,
permit sunlight to strike the pens on
both sides of the interior. The other
type Of hog house is known as the
gable house, a good example of which
is shown in the accompanying Illus
tration.
This house is of standard frame
construction, a good grade of lumber
being used to make 1t weather-tight.
The building is set on a concrete foun-
dalton, and has concrete floor. The
building is Al feet long and "a feet
wide, which provides room for twelve
pens, six on each side. Through the
center of the building runs a feeding
alley, wide enough to run a feed truck,
thus distributing the feed to. the
troughs with the least amount Of
labor.

RAPE is IDEAL FOR PASTURE
Found Especially Valuable in North
Dakota Because 1t Is Not Injured
by Frost.

In North Dakota they have found
that an ideal fall pasture can be pro-
vided by sowing two or three pounds
Of rape seed per acre in the corn at
the last cultivation. If the corn Is
to be hogged off, rape will furnish an
ideal pasture for the fall season. 1t
is especially valuable because 1t is
not injured by light frosts. In fact,
1t has been found good for forage pur-
poses until time of severe freezing.
