Swine Rouse Made of Concrete Blocks
Concrete block is the material used In
constructing not only the walls Of the
house Itself, but also in inclosing small
runways at the front The design
shown is known as the half-mouitor
type. 1t is always built to face the
south, so that sunlight may enter
through both the upper and lower tiers
OF windows. A passageway runs from
one end TO the other, which facilitates
cleaning the bins, which are located at
both sides OF the passageway.
At one end some space is set of for
feed storage and mixing. Provision Is
made here for the cooking Of feed.
which is especially advantageous in
cold weather and for early spring lit
tiers.
The vine house should be kept com
paraively warm, either with small
heater or :? insulating the walls SO
that the animal heat is retained Ade-
quate ventilation is also very essen
tial.

there were 5.12O accredited veterinari-

more. For this test the receiving set
was tuned TO $50 meters, the lowest
~ave length used In the reception of
messages at that particular station.
AAso the regeneration was set at a min

IN The fact that no regeneration was used
IS made the receiving set much less selec-

30 per cent Of the interfering signals

Inc accompanying diagram Illus

is adjusted so that the circuit resonates
at 400 meters, for example, the trap
offers, theoretically, an infinite imped-

same wave length. In actual practice
the impedance Of the trap at resonance
Is not Infinite, due to the fact that a
coil cannot be made which has no re-
sistance, but 1t is. however, very high
All other signals above or below 400
meters find their way into the receiv-

THE FARMERS WIFE
By Mary Ann Gray

Economical housewives take pleas
ure in remodeling old garments so
they look like new, and ii Is a saving
TO make owe clothing when the ma
terials are appropriate in pattern,
color and texture, good enough to
stand longer wear and when the work
of remaking is not greater than the
cost saved, suggests Azalea Linfield,
extension specialist in clothing at
State College.
This preparation is essential for
remodeling: Careful ripping, remov-
ing all old thread; mending worn
places, thorough brushing, sponging
washing or dyeing and careful press
ing. In the latter step care must be
taken not to alter shs pc. Silk should
be pressed while damp. with a mod
erately hot iron. Wool should also
be pressed while damp, using heavy
cloth over garment. Too hot an iron
stiffens the material.
If you dye cloth, be sure that the
material is strong enough to stand up
under the heat and boiling; it never
pays to dye old silk as ii usually rots
or splits during the process.
There are some suggestions for re-
modelling: From a woman's suit
girls dresses, a one piece dress for q
woman or little boys suits can be
made; a wooden skirt remodels into
coat or trousers for child or boomers;
wash skirts make attractive middies,
and silk waists can be remade into
camisoles, collars and cuffs, guimpes
for children's jumper dresses.
In making griddle cakes and muf-
fins, IL C. of bread crumbs may be
substituted for 1c. -four.
Keep the baby warm this winter by
remaking your old cotton blankets
into crib covers. Bind the edges with
satecn or pretty tape,
Soak dried fruit IL hours. then cook
for 10 minutes in the water the fruit
soaked in. This enriches the flavor.

HANDS-Are yours always clean?
Not just free from the soil of the
streets or from work, but free from
the soil Of germs that bring disease?
You may have a hard cold; perhaps
you cough or sneeze in the palm of
your hand, then pick up silverware,
a coin or lead pencil. Thus. the cold
germ is carried on to the next person
who comes in contact with those, same
articles; your hand was the actual
transmitter of the disease.
That is the way school children in
the same grade often have the same
disease. They use lead pencils, books
and playthings i'm common, but this
practice should be discouraged.
A tubercular patient often gives of
the germs while hanging to a strap
in a crowded street car. The next
person clinging to that strap may lat
err put his finger into his mouth, and
thus the germ is taken internally.
This is also a common way Of trans
hitting skin diseases.
Therefore it is the duty of every
man, woman and child, whether or not
they have some communicable disease
to wash the hands frequently, and
always before each meal. AS a pro-
lection against germ soil on the hands
wear gloves while riding on public
carriers.
