These houses may vary In size; those with floor dimensions of six by eight feet, six by nine feet, or eight by eight feet will be found most satisfactory. The roof need not be over seven feet high at the highest point. The house may be made on runners to facilitate moving ft about. To prevent the sow from crushing the pigs at farrowing time, a scantling should be fastened to the inside of the house, about eight Inches from the ground, projecting about ten inches toward Plan of Construction. the center of the pen. The small pigs can run under this protection and keep the mother from lying upon them. Supply plenty of straw for bedding, especially at farrowing time. The necessity of tho careful feeding Df the sow before farrowing time should be apparent to every farmer, for it is Impossible to obtain good pigs from a weak, improperly fed, neglected mother. Pastures are the basis for the profitable handling of pigs. The pigs should be gotten up to weaning time as cheaply as possible, and the cheapest way to do this is to have a pasture for the sows to run upon every month In the In the year that is possible. south It is very little trouble to have pastures practically the year around, but in the northern states more months of grain feeding are necessary. Df course, the sow should be provided with some grain in addition to the pasture, but the pastures will save a great amount of grain. It must be remembered that the sow must be nourished In such a way that the pigs will come Into the world strong and healthy. Corn alone will not keep the sow In a good, healthy condition, but corn, along with a good leguminous pasture, will provide her with a good ration. When pastures are not available, such feeds as Bkim milk and bram should be used along with the corn. Not of her ration more than one-hal- f should ever be made up of corn; the other half should be made up of a feed that will furnish plenty of ash and protein. Leguminous pastures are the cheapest feeds that can be found to go along with the corn. With a good leguminous pasture the sow will be maintained in good flesh when she is ted a ration of corn equivalent to one per cent, of her life weight. For a sow this woud be two pounds of corn dally. When no pasture is provided, it requires from six to seven pounds of grain to maintain sow in proper condition. i d d Feeding Rye. Rye should always be fed ground Into meal mixed with other grains, like oats, and never fed whole to any animal, whether it be horse, cow, sheep or pig. It is just as safe to feed mares In foal as to other animals. When rye meal is fed unmlxed with other meals it is a dangerous feed, being far too concentrated to insure The best use that good digestion. can be made of rye Is to feed It in slop to hogs. It has a nutritive ratio of 1 to 7.1; oats have a nutritive ratio of 1 to 6.2. GOT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY LivtSioc. INoits The silo Is the sign of prosperity. Cholera usually affects the younger pigs and hogs first. A mud hole Is not absolutely necessary In a hog pen. Feeding for fat is a business, but some men go about It as though it was play. . Frozen alfalfa may kill a hog as well as a cow or horse. It is usually Indigestible. Corn lays fat on a hog, but the best and sweetest meat Is made by a variety of feeds. If the hogs are dying and the cause cannot be found, have an expert hold a post mortem. At present prices, it will pay well to hae as many houses as there are sizes of pigs in the herd. If ever the rauis needed a little extra attention by way of nourishing food and extra room, it is now. A thorough wetting In a cold rain will take off a bunch of sheep the gain of a week's feeding. Thats waste. The man who allows his cattle to pick their corn out of the mud certainly has a great deal of faith In natures aid to a lazy farmer. A heater te supply water for 50 head of cattle can be put In for less than $20, and it will pay for Itself In a week of very co'd weather. If you allow the young stock to bump around among the older and stronger members of your herds you may expect the little fellows to get cheated. A hog needs twice the air space In proportion to his size than does the horse or the cow, yet he cannot stand one-haof the exposure to the wind and weather. Try building a tight board fence on the north side of the feed lot and make of it one side of the feeding rack. This gives shelter and feed at the same time. Its poor business to let fattening steers fill themselves up on ice water. It will take a great deal of feed to get up heat in them afterwards, and that is a pure and useless waste. lf Green Does he figure much In politics?

Y. Atty. to Battle Creek, summoned 25 of our workmen and took their sworn statements before a Commissioner. Did we object? No. On the contrary, we helped all we could, for the opportunity was too good to be lost. Geo. Haines testified he Inspected the wheat and barley, also floors and every part of the factories to know things were kept clean.

Inspector, he and his men examined every tack and car of wheat and barley to see they were up to standard and rejected many cars. H. E. Burt, Supt., testified has been with Co. over 13 years.

Testified that no ingredient went into Grape-Nut- s and Fostum except those printed in the No possibility of any foreign advertising. things getting Into the foods as most of the machinery is kept closed.
