A GOOC HOG-HOUSE.

A good hog-houso or housos if many
hogs aro reared on tho farm can not
well bo dispensed w ith on any farm.
I havo built six for my own uso sinco I
lirt began farming, and thiirk that, in
tho later-built ones I havo combined
convenience and economy, and will tell
what kind of a hog-houso I liko and
would build.
Tho first hog-houso I built were
mado twelve foot wide, but I have now
had four that were eight feet wido, and
I find tills width amplo to ncoomnio
dato as ma y hogs as can eat at tho
trough, and so I recommend a house of
this width. It is sometimes dosirnhlo
to move a house a short distance, and
ao I usually make them eight by six
teen feet, and find that threo men can
roll one of thoni from fifty to ono hun
dred feet in ft few hours if it is thought
best to change tho location. A house
eight by sixteen feet will accommodate
from twelve fo fifteen store hogs
through tho winter, and is largo enough
to fatten ten largo hogs In. Tho bill of
lumber for a house of this size built as
I direct, is ns follows:

This, at 1.75 per 100 feet, will cost
$1P.7.'I, to which add 1,000 shingle at
1.7.1, and $1 for nails ard hinges, and
It brings the total cost of material for
the house to 821.4 The farmer, if ho
will follow mv directions, need not
employ a carpenter to build such a
house, and two hands can comploto
one in two davs or less.
After the foundation Is ready which
may lie locust posts set well in tho
around, bowlders or masonry, if pre
ferred plaeo voiir short sills across
the cuds and level them, and then set
the floor j.iists on the sills, so that tho
two outside ones will como exactly to
the ends of the sills, llridgo the joist
In tho center nml then lay the floor.
A floor of inch lumber, laid double, is
much better than one of two-inch
planks, nml will cost less, for tho lin
ing can be laid with cracks threo or
four inched wide.
After tho floor is laid, cut your posts
four and a half feet high for the roar
and seven and a half for tho front.
Saw them perfectly souaro at both
ends, settliem up at. the corners, and
fasten them by what Iho carpenters
call "toe-nailing;" them spiko ft two
by four studding to tlio tops, front and
rear. For a plato, put up your two
ml rafters, setting them exactly flush
with tlio sills, so that Iho weather
hoarding will be nailed to tho sill at
the bottom and the rafter at the top.
You will need one run of nail-tics.
which can be ship-lapped to Iho posts,
and when these aro up you aro ready
to cover the building.
Use siding fourteen feet long cover
ing it, audit will cut ono knglhfor
the front and one for the rear. Tlio
roof of Ibis house slopes but ono way,
and it is best to have the front or
high part of the roof toward either
the west or south. If the roof is mado
to project a little, and finish with a
light cornice, it will resent quite a
good appearance.
Make a good trough and fasten it se
curely. I havo never found any thing
bettor than a good V-lrough; the front
of It should be of two-inch lumber, but
the back part, which conies against tho
side of tht! building, may bo inch. It
is next to Impossible to keep hogs
clean, ami the house freo from bad
odors, if thev are confined to a singlo
floor, but by making an outside pen,
with a board floor, from twelve to
eighteen Inches lower than tho feeding
floor, ami keeping it always supplied
with an absorbent, 1 have no difficulty
in keeping mv hog-houses from becom
ing malodorous. So I always raise the
floor of the main house, and then lay a
floor of nearly tho same size cither
at the rear or ono end of tho house. As
this floor need not belaid double.it
will take but 128 feet of lumber to make
It, and it can rest on any cheap old
scantlings thrown flat on the ground for
mud sills. F.ncloso it with a sub-
stautlal fence, made without cracks,'
ami furnish the hogs sumo old straw
or corn fodder as often as they require
it, ami they will enjoy working it
over, ami will shred it up and make
good manure of it sooner than any
oilier stock.
Kvery hog house of this sizi should
lie provided with a movable partition
so that it can be divided into two parts
when desired, as an appartmeut eight
feet square is large enough for a sow
to farrow in. Two short posts, two
by four inches, can bo set up, front
and iv ar, and just far enough apart
so that an inch board can bo dropped
between them, and threo boards, a
foot wide, will make the partition. To
prevent liogs from lifting them out,
bore a half inch hole just abovo the
top board in one of the posts, at each
end, and put in a stout pin. If it is de
sired to have room for corn above, uso
longer posts, say twelve feet f win tho
front and nine for the rear, and use
two by six lumber for nail ties, and
two by eight joist, crosswise of tlio
building, to support tho upper floor.

WAGES IN JAPAN.
Th rT Anked by JPneM lborr for
n Infnrlor Klml of Work.
Since the tablo of wages In Tokio
Mven ".a tho third report of the royal
Commission appointed to inquire into
the causes of the depression of trade and
industry, is apt to be taken as it standi
by tho outside world, I shall give a few
facts of such tradesmen as I havo bad
dealings with.
Carpenters. 40 to GO cent. Tlio first
figure is out of ail question. For about
au'ar I employed a carpenter off and
on at 60 cents a day-that is, when time
iiertnitted. Ho would begin work at
about 9 a. m., "work" till 6 p. m., and
ilevoto about three hours a day to
smoking ami thinking ho was a great
thinker in his way and eating, and
tho work he did in tho remaining six
hours with the awkward toys that pass
for tools here, an English or an Amer
ican carpenter would do in ono hour,
which brings a Japanese carpenter's
wages to CO cents per hour, or taking
the"day at eight working hours, to f 1.80
And I have employed carpen
ters at 75 cents and $1 per day with tho
same result.
Plasterers, 45 to 55 cents per day; to
be had at that rato at about a week's
notice. 'J be vear before last I had to
employ two plasterers to repair a place
iu the wall of a house where a piece of
plaster of about two feet square had
fallen out. The two artists turned up
at. 10 ii. in., and. sittimr down upon a
couple of empty wine-cases, lit their
pipes. At about lUiUO ft. in. ono oi
them approached tho damaged place
within a yard, took a mental photo
graph of it, and sat down. At, 11 a.
in. a mutual friend nppeareil. who was
warmly welcomed, and. after smoking
a pipe or two, amused, them by stand
ing on his head, and ny tliat timo iney
had got very hungry and mado a pause
of two hours for tiffin. Pipes again.
Then the one' who had carefully sound
ed the wall knocked another pieco of
plaster down. Pipes again. By 5 p.
m. they had made the hole about three
times its original size, and wcro so
thoroughly exhausted that they left off.
Next day a stray drop of water, where
ever it may havo come from, lighted
on one fellow's noso and mado them
conclude it was going to rain, so that
no work could be dono in tlio after
noon. Well, to cut matters short,
those two squaro feet of plaster that
is river mud cost mo $:). An English
or American plasterer would havo sent
one of his boys and boxed his ears if
lie did not como back in an hour..
Painters space will not permit to
go through tho wholo list 25 to 35
cents per day. 1 have somo work for
a painter at present, and am willing to
give 40 cents per day, but the man will
not work under 50 cents, and says it
will tako him eight or ten days to do
the job. Now, I estimate the time in
which tlio work can be done and should
be done and there aro but few things
but that I have done myself at two
and one-half or threo d ys timo of
tine working hours, so that I would
be paying at tho rato of $1.50 to $ t.tio
per day, and have things at sixes and
sevens for more than ii week.
I could give instances of tho same
kiud ad infinitum, but then tho cour
tesy of newspaper editors does not and
can not. extend to writing books in tlio
columns of their papers, and if I havo
thrust forward a few hard facts here, 1
have dono so from tho reason that
those who contemplate trying their
chances in this country in tlio near
future may not bo misled and after
ward crv out in tho bitterness of their
disappointment that they havo been de
ceived, and become blind to much that
is good and to bo appreciated in Japan.
I am not thus disappointed this to
guard myself against any such sus
picionfor I have returned to Japan
of my own freo will, knowing all this,
ami much that I have said here and
much of similar import I have said to
those whom the Kinur has delighted to
honor; yet I nin as welcome at their
palaces or residences as ever I was. 1
mav hone, therefore, that the reason I
have just given for making these re
marks will be accepted, all tho more as
my bread would very probably be but
tered much thicker on tlio other side.

could not keep a foothold upon it, as

that it is a difficult ono to decide. Ono

Our ship was lying In Port uouis
harbor. For fear ol Hurricanes, we
were moored, stem and stern, to heavy
sunken anchors. Upon our port-side,
only a few fathoms away, was a lofty
East India rice-snip, niooreu in mo
at 1... t nt a
same manner, a large nuniuci u
on board tho rice-ship attracted our
attention-it seemed a friendly me
nagerie.
Mv Interest centered upon a magnin-
cent black Newfoundland doj and a
very largo monkey. Too monkeys
sole ambition seemed to be to torment
the dog by dropping things upon him
from abovo, or by jumping towards
him while trying to sleep, and then
scam ering away up tho rigging,
where tho dog could not loiiow. no
place was safo for the dog to tako a
nap. The monkey was only safo while
aloft, for tlio dog was tlio stronger,
and delighted in shaking the monkey
whenever ho could get at him.
Ono very hot Sabbath afternoon 1
was sitting under tho awning, try.ng
to read; just opposite me, under tho
shadow of the poop-deck of the rice
ship, lay tho Newfoundland dog,
stretched out in the most complete and
utter abandonment of exhaustion, ap
parently fast asleep. Tho monkey was
upon tlio lop of tlio forward lions, evi
dently studying some mischief. When
a man is studying some difficult matter
ho will some times scratch his h: ad.
The inoiikc-y scratched himself all over,
it taking more counter-irritant, per
haps, to elaborate his plan. I became
in torched in watching tho develop
ment of his scheme.
He soon jumped down from the
house and sauntered aft toward tho
do", who took no liolico whatever of
He passed close to tho tlog and
climbed up to tlio poop-deck, sitting
diWH just over tho dog. and began a
great chattering.
Tho doz was deaf to all this, so tne
monkey jumped down upon the deck
and begai V "hunt for a bone," a plan
that never failed t interest tho dog;
but now ho did not movo. I thonght
tlie dog was sound asleep, the monkey
very evidently thought so, too, for now
he proceeded to put into execution a
plan that, I think, be matured when
sitting on the forward house. He qui
etiy ran forward to tho fore rigging
ami up . fore-top, then taking the
niai'.i-top-gallant stay ho ran up that to
the niam-top-gallant yard, tlien down
to tho main-top; after again making
suro that the doz was fast asleep lie
ran up to the niizzon-top-gallant stay
and then down to the nihzoii-top; hero
ho sat down and, apparently, had a
hearty laugh at tho trick ho was about
to play upon tho dog. Having enjoyed
Ins laugh, he very cautiously ran down
the mizzcii stay, until ho reachud
point just over tlio dog. out somo
twenty feet abovo him. Once more ho
pr weeded to try the tlog; riot a muscle
moved. The nionke, jumped up ami
down, h'ung down, lioldingon with ono
hand only, but no movement of tho
dog showed itself. So, getting himself
together, he measured, carefully, tho
distanco and position, and then let go
and jumped for tho tlog.
Instantly all was changed on deck;
the dog sprang up with ears and tail
erect, wide awake, anil ready to givo
him a cordial welcome. Of course, it
i.i i t ui. rui
was like anasaot iignumi". J no
monkey saw whUassrapo ho was in;
his screams and cries were pitiful; ho
would have gladly stopped and jumped
back, but tho law of gravity were
against him, and down ho came onto
the dotj. Then began tlio sharpest
fight I ever saw. lliey were evenly
matched, but the monkey was so fright
ened that he could not make so good a
Hght n usual.
Round and round they went, while
tho hair flew everywhere; at last, get
ting a ohance lie sprang into th main
rigging and ran up to tho royal yard,
cryinj all the way. Hero ho stayed
two or three days, nursing his wounds.
and evidently trying to understand
why his plan fsiled. The dog barked,
and, in spite of tho heat, ran up and
down the deck with every show of de
light at having out-wittcd the monkey
I think now, as I thought then, that
tho dog was not asleep, but too nearly
exhausted by the heat to care what tho
monkey did, so long as ho kept. out of
reach; but when ho had gone so far
that he could not get back he was
ready to receive him. Cor. Gohkn
