Prevent Dust in Hog
Houses to Aid Health

During winter months when
hogs are more tightly housed, dust
from houses with dirt floors be-
comes an increasing annoyance.
Dust from the soil, the dried drop
pings, and old bedding rises as the
hogs move about. 1t not only Of
tends the nostrils of the man car
ing for the swine but can also be-
come detrimental to the health of
the hogs themselves.
Ventilation of houses does not
always eliminate this dust. 1t is
possible, in addition, to check the
trouble at its source. Simply clean
the floors before cold weather and
pour old crank case oil over them.
1t does not require any great guam
tity. Merely enough to absorb the
thin top layer of dust. AS bed
ding is changed during the winter
an additional small amount Of the
oil can be spread on the floor after
the old bedding has been removed
and before the new bedding has
been put in.

The department has also been
working on new fall and winter

region to keep pastures there green
after the commonly grown grasses
die down in the fall. A new clover,
named cluster clover and known
locally as Mcneil clover, received
from Hungary, shows surprising

Values of Corn Silage
Depend on Conditions

The usual method of estimating
the value Of corn silage, says
Hoard's Dairyman, is to compare it
with hay on the basis that one ton
Of hay is equal in feeding value to
three tons Of silage. In other words.
If hay in the NOW Is worth SIS a
ton, then silage In the silo would be
worth Sc ton. Another method of
estimate is to use a comparison that
ton of corn silage is equal in feed
ing value to 3 bushels of corn and
800 pounds of hay. With corn
at So cents and hay at $50 ton,
this would indicate value of $5.75
a ton for corn silage. 1t is to be
remembered that this comparison is
based upon the silage In the silo
and the hay and corn In the barn
and ready for feeding. If the silage
must be hauled away from the farm,
1t is possible that some discount
should be allowed for the cost of
the hauling.
There is no accurate method Of
arriving at the value of silage, be-
cause it is not a product that Is
bought and sold on the market. The
estimates given above are only
rough approximation and might
need some amendment to meet local
There is also the prob
EN- involved as to the quality of the |
hay and the quality of the silage
hat are used in the comparison. Con-
'ideration should be given to this
when arriving at an agreement as
o the price to be paid.

Second Floor Plan.

room by a cased double opening
This room is II feet by II feet
inches. The kitchen, s feet by IL feet
is directly back of the dining room.
Open stairs run out of one side of
the living room directly opposite the
entrance door and lead to central
hall on the second floor. Here are
found the bedrooms, one directly
above the living room and practically
the same size, and the other IL feet
by IA feet 6 inches. At the head Of
the stairs is the bathroom. Should
the family be willing to have smaller
bedrooms or should the occasion arise
the large, bedroom can be partitioned
into two, each one being 10 feet by
101a feet.
The wide porch with the brick steps
and the Overhang of the porch roof
take from this home the plainness
which is sometimes a drawback in the
true colonial design.

Simple Color Is Best
for Room of Small Size

II one is not able to have the serv-
ices of an interior decorator in COM
pleting the home, but must rely on
ones own unguided knowledge in color
and design, it is good plan to choose
the wall paper first.
From the hues used in it, the gen.
eral color scheme may be selected, as
well as harmonizing materials for dra-
perry and upholstering uses.
Using the wall paper as basis for
the rest of the room is made possible
by the care and artistic knowledge
which is employed in the planning and
designing of wall paper in the modern
factory. ~
Each manufacturer has his artists,
expert in their line, to design and plan
the colors of his article. His paper
is work of art, and, as such, may
confidently be taken as guide by the
inexperienced.

Move for Better Stock

The basic idea Of the Better
Sires-Better Stock campaign is
that the pure-bred sires will "grade
up" and improve the f1ocks and
herds. Give them time, and they
wal. But reports from the more
than 1880 stock owners who have
enrolled show that many of them
want to hasten the Improvement.
They know they can do so by ac-
Quiring pure-bred females.
The latest figures showing Inn
provement Of live stock. as report
ed to the Department Of Agricul-
ture, reveal that on these 1880
farms where there are no scrub or
grade sires there are, on an aver
age. for every pure-bred sire-in-
Guiding cattle, horses, swine, sheep,
and goats-six pure-bred females,
two cross-bred females, nine grade
females, and less than half scrub
female.

Iron Bases for Porch
Columns Prevent Rotting

An iron base for porch columns and
newels that raises the column from
slightly less than two inches to six
inches off the floor, allowing air to
circulate between the column and the
floor, so preventing rot, is available
for round and square columns. Prices
are reasonable.
Permitting water to run off the floor
without wetting the bottom of the
column, these supports, 1t is claimed,
will add years to the life of the col
umns, saving many dollars in replace
nent costs and improve the appear
ance OF the porch. Water that clings
about the base of columns and causes
rot and decay is, through the use of
these bases, passed off without caus-
Ing injury. Water also is prevented
from backing under and in between
the turned wood base. ~.
As it is necessary for the turned
wood base to have an open center a
trifie smaller than the opening in the
column to yentilate the column shaft,
there are no outside fastenings. Holes
are provided in the center bearing for
fastening the beam to the floor.
The turned wood base is first fas-
tened to the iron base, this is then
fastened in position to the floor and
the column is fitted into the wood
base. Before fastening the column
the end should be painted, as we'll as
the wood block upon which the col
umn rests.

Four feeding trials indicate that
when young pigs have access to
grass and pasture before they are
put in the feeding lot, the pasture is
not so necessary for gains and
profits thereafter.
Our tests show that a well-bal-
anced ration will produce just as
satisfactory results when pigs are
fed in dry lot as when fed to COM
parable pigs on pasture. However,
we want 1t kept In mind that the
pigs we used in these trials had &C.

at which she begins to lay. In
breeds that have a tendency to ma
