STRAWSTACK IS
POOR PROTECTION
Hogs HuddIe Up and Get
Too Warm In Winter.

"Any port in q storm, of course.
But a straw pile is one of the poor
est of all possible poor ports for
the hogs when a blizzard or a sud
den cold spell nits the farm" says J.
w. Wuichet. extension specialist in
swine growing, for the Ohio State
university.
Letting the hogs burrow into
straw stack for shelter from the
bad weather is better than leaving
them to freeze to death, but not
much BETTER says Wuichet. "The
reason is that when hogs huddle
into straw stacks they pile up in
heaps to keep warm, they get too
warm, and when they get out for
feed or any other reason, are liable
to get pneumonia and other diseases.
Even more important is the fact
that such a refuge is highly insani-
tary, and a hog is more susceptible
to unsanitary conditions than most
other farm animals. When hogs
pile up under a straw stack their
skins are caked with filth and get
into bad condition, and their gen
eral health is affected
"Much better, have some sort Of
houses, either central sheds or in
dividual houses. In extremely cold
weather bank their houses with
straw to keep out the wind and con-
serve the body heat of the hogs, but
be sure to leave sufficient ventila-
ton"

AMERICAN FACTORIES IN
 EUROPE

Many American industries have branch plants in Europe. These full fill the function of making it pos sible to look after the requirements Of European trade at close range. Their main effect upon American labor is that they subtract from the export totals Of what is produced in this country.
 When an American plant abroad, however, manufactures machinery and goodly percentage is shipped to the United States, the situation IS entirely different. Manifestly the system then produces considerable adverse criticism.
 Henry Ford's tractor plant in Ire land is case in point. Tho most re- cent report Of this plant shows tha during the first two months of thi, year more than 6S per cent of the total output of the Ford Irish tractor plant WIS sent to the United States. fir.

OLD AGE PENSIONS
IN NEW YORK

That the enactment of an old l. age pension law in New York state is regarded as the outstanding piece of legislation at the session just closed can scarcely be denied. Here is the largest state in the Union so- ing in for what some critics have called radial legislation. Yet, when one closely examines the New York law it is found not to be as radical as 1t would appear from the name.
 In approving the law, Goevrnor Roosevelt well said: This law is essentially an extension and i'm proVement of the old poor law, for the principal part of it's administra- ton is left in the hands of local officials and the supervision of state authorities is far from strong"
 The law, however is a step in the direction that society is taking with increasing vigor. Such laws are frc- quently amended and made more embracing, and arc rarely repealed.

concern Americans who have here- tofore zealously upheld the theory that the American market should be for American labor.
 The Ford tractors enter this coun- try duty free under schedule de- signed to favor American farmers. This object is well achieved, but at the expense of the American work ingman. The rate of wages paid at the Ford plant in Cork is higher than the Irish average, but consider ably lower than the wages paid at the Dearborn tractor plant when it was in operation.
 The Ford tractor idea is a bad precedent.
