FARROWING Illustration Herewith Is a drawing showing the handy way by which Mr. D. V. Evans of Fairvlew, Kan., handles his hogs In transferring them from one lot to another. The drawing Is Intended to show the barn, on one side of which Is arranged the stalls (or the live stock and on the other the grain bins with a passageway between the two. In the renr of this barn he has a number of swine pens and at tho right of the front of It his hog house. As shown by the drawing, he has built a chute in front of the barn which connects with tue hog house and which is opened or closed by the barn door. Only two posts are shown In the chute, as this is enough to show t,he Idea. The curved line Is Intended to show the swing of the door. When the chute Is in use for transferring of the hogs from the hog house to the feed lots In tho rear of the main barn, or for transferring brood sows from the field to tho farrowing pens, the barn gate Is attached to the posts at the end of the chute by a chain, which is provided with a simple attachnent for fastening. If It U desired to drive a team through the barn, the door is swung clear and the chute is not In the way of any ordinary vehicle. This Is one of those little conveniences which add so much to the pllleiency and comfort of farm life and which may always be had by simply taking thought and doing a little work. Hy settling the first post bo that the gate will strike It, this same idea may be applied In pasture gates all over the farm, where it W PASTURE PEN OR Shows Such a Structure That Answers Requirements In Manner. Ideal Mr. Waltor 8. I'rkkctt, manager ond owner of tlie ituycroft farm at Sldnaw, Mich., has a farrowing pen which answers the requirements of such a structure in an Ideal iminner. He calls It tho "Uurkshiro bungalow." Farrowing or Pasture Pen. It would certainly be hard to surpass the Rnycroft plan ffr attractiveness and g' neral UKCfultieKri. The accompanying drawing Indicates the general the cot. Tho ilimcnHioim of are bo near hiandard that It plan of all cots will hardly necessitate of these figures here. tho repetition The main points of difference In (he "bungalow" as compared with other pens are: Tho center hoard on each side tire hlng tl so that they can be swung oprn In hot weather; the ridge cap Is so moui'ted that It can bo raised ond lowered at will. IIuih further as- l sisting In the ventilation of the pen nnd tho roof boards are made Into panels which may ho raited or lowered over a window fram which Is In place Just below them. This last arrangement permits of making the pen Into a hothouse whenever desired. The pen certainly has about as many ndji'stmi nt on It as oiu could wish for. It Is, moreover, one of tho most attractive pens built. Its main objection Is perhaps that the cost of construction Is somewhat higher than Is tli rasa with more, simple and less convi nieut typea. Ejl ROSE GRAFTING REQUIRES ATTENTION TO DETAILS Like Most of Greenhouse Work, Much Care Must B Devoted to tho Little Things Three Good Plans Illustrated. Grafting, like lots of other greenhouse work, must be started properly and much attention must be paid to every detail of the work. To start with, good manettl stocks must be procured and we much prefer the English manettl to any other, principally because the stocks are better rooted and the wood is much firmer than the French stock, although we have had excellent results using the latter. The stocks should be potted into 2 pots, care being taken to pot firmly, using a compost of good rose soil, the same as one would use for potting off rooted cuttings, says Gardening Magazine. Soil three parts, manure one part and, if the soil Is rather heavy, a little sharp sand to quicken the root action will be suitable. If the stocks sre extra well rooted, it may be advisable to snip off the tips of the roots, but the potting will be rather slow any way and it Is best to pot them with all the roots that can be left on them; never chop them off short. After potting, place the plants In a cool house at a temperature of 50 degrees, or at least enough of them to fill the grafting case the others can be heeled In a cold frame or house that is free from frost and potted up when needed. Give the plants a thorough watering and syringe the tops twice a day. It Is a good plan to have two knives for the work, one to shape the scions and one to cut the manettl with. Uoth should be very sharp, so as to leave a perfectly smooth cut. The manettl stocks should have the eyes swelled - it' To Transfer Hogs. desirable for persons to pass without allowing stock to get through.
