Moat of the plan for bughouses re

fer to those untile farther north or west
where the climate la more aerera than
lu this lutitude. This Is due. no doubt,
lo two causes-first, that the bughouse
of the south has seldom materialised.
at h ast to such a point as to be worthy
vf Isjlug dlgulfled as s house or much
leas described, for It generally consists
BOflHOUSS (FROIfT VIEW).
of s brushy marsh for summer sod a
suuare ininle of a few old fence rails
with some pine brush or corn fodder
thrown over the top for winter.
The hothouse of the uoTtu may suit
that latitude, but no doubt could be Im
proved upou for that section, and It
certaluly has wauy objections for the
south, generally the greatest objection
belug the cost. There Is uW point that
la commonly lost sight of In hog grow
lug. and that Is that be Is an auluial to
w hich the HiiiiHlilne Is Just as essential
as It Is to the corn pluut. Neither pork
nor corn ran lie successfully produced
without plenty of sunshine. In the
north this sunshine !n winter will have
to be broiiKht Into the pen through
glass. In this latitude and farther
south, under normal condltlous. it Is
only uecessary to face the pen to the
south, allow the suu'a rays to reach the
back of the pen on the beds and give
good shelter and protection from north
and west winds.
The accompanying view, floor plan
and end elevation give almost s com
plete Idea of the pen In use here which
has met with very general favor. It
may be well, however, to enumerate a
few BHtiul points tu the construction.
First.-It Is faced to the south to per
in!t the niys of the sun to shine upon
the beds of the )Ik at the extreme rear
end of the pen lu the winter season
aud also to give shade In that portion
in summer.
Second.- Lattice .. construction be
tween the pens at the ends and rear
admits of a free circulation of air la
warm weather.
Third. The location of the manure
pit In the center and below the level of
the sleeping and feeding floors with all
drainage toward It aids in uialutalulag
a proper sanitary condition.
Fourth. Ease with wblcb manure
can be removed.
Fifth. Swlnglug gates cloae the pigs
Into their beds while the manors la
being loaded.
Blxtb. Swinging fronts to the pens

the trough aud evenly distributed so
that the pigs have an equal chance at
feeding time.
Kevcuth. The manure pit la concret
ed, which enables the saving of all liq
uid uiauurc rxcreiueuts, which with
the pig amounts to 61 per cent of all
the manure value.
Eighth. Ease of changing pigs from
pen to lieu.
Ninth. Feed bins are placed in front
of each m-u, which facilitates feeding
and enables keeping different feeda for
each pen If desired.

SUGAR BEET PULP. '
Ob af the fr'ealaree Which Rae
Ik. l,. Dart laSa.trr. Vf
Among points about feeding beet
pulp which a Nebraska cattle man de
termined by experiment were:
First That the cattle would eat as
much ss lot) pounds of pulp a day.
Secoud. That they eat pulp with
evident satlsfuctiou aud great relish.
Third. That they cousume very little
or no water at all w bile eating pulp.
' Other points of which he feels satis-
fled In his owu miud but has uot clear
ly demonstrated are that the use of
pulp will effect a valuable saving of
other foods, both hay aud grain.
Id years of drought, when foodstuffs
are very high, the savlug will be a very
valuable oue. I'ulp Is bulky aftd costly
to transport aud expensive to bundle,
The charges, however, cut no figure
with farmers delivering beets to a fac
tory, who can as well as uot take back
a load of pulp to their farm. '
t'ulp, he further says, cun be kept
very easily liuli-ed, as It becomes ex
tremely compact unci sours or .ferments
slightly. A large pile can even be left
out of doors In wry cold weather, and
while a crust eight or ten Inches will
freeze on the outside the inside will re
main In good condition.
All pulp should proierly be fed In a
barn where It cannot freeze mid with
other foods. During the earlier part of
the feeding period, for Instance, for
three or four mouths out of six. It may
be fed largely with a comparatively
small feed of grain, although bay
should always lie fed with It. Toward
the eud of the feeding period the pro
portion of grain should be gradually la
creased aud that of the pulp diminish
ed for finishing the cattle for market.
lie attaches the greatest possible Im
portance In value to the use of lieet
pulp lu beef production and does not
doubt It will prove equally valuable In
the dairy Industry. Its value In feed
lug animals Is one of the reasons why
the production of sugar Itself mry
find a firmer and more profitable lx I
t'on where dairy or beef animals s.v
fed than In other section where tin V '
are not so many anlmais toY-on:' " '
Another Nebraska stockman gives
his experience thus:
I fed 3K) 3 and 4 year old western
steers in lHtil, the first year our facto
ry opened. Of course I had no ex perl
ence In feeding pulp, but I soon found
that cattle were very fond of It I think
they will leave any other food known
and est It As to the fattening quality,
of course wheu fed alone It is almost
valueless, though I believe atocS would
wluter on It. Mixed with a cut feed of
bay or straw or cornstalks on which
cornmeal, bran or some other grain
food Is placed. It makes a ration which
fattens very rapidly. By feeding the
usual amount of meal with 7." to 100
pounds of this pulp per day per steer.
the fattening period will be shortened
at least 30 days. In other words, you
can get as good results In four mouths
with pulp as you could In five without
It
I think steers will eat as much grain
food per day or more with the pulp
than they will without it. It Is a great
conditioner" aud appetizer, and we
find the older It la the better the re
sults. It will keep a number of years
la the alio or piled up on top of the
ground. It will turn black aud spoil as
far as the sir goes through, which Is
from eight to ten Inches. It will re
duce lu bulk fully one half and grow
as much richer. There are a number
of big sheep and cattle feeders here, all
of whom use It more or less. If any
thing. It Is better for sheep than cattle.

This is the way an Iowa correspond
ent of Farm, Field aud Fireside would
grow watermelous: Select a rich loam
andy loam Is best sud dig boles
sis feet each way or lu one long row
and put a shovel of well rotted manure
lu each bill, covering with two Inches
of dirt Plaut about a dozen seeds In
each bill, coverlug one Inch deep. Hunt
from the 5th to the loth of May. Soon
after planting these, say five or six
days, plant a bill between each two of
the first ones. These will come up
about the time the bugs show up gen
erally, and they will not touch the first
Tines, but will destroy the second
planting. Should the hugs come early
and attack the first vines they are all
guns before the others are up.
laSlaaa'a ftarr.w Tur. Law.
Indiana baa a law, enacted lo 1MNU,
Uiat forbids the use of public roads
for hauling over 2.0H0 pounds of any
thing In a narrow tired wagon and
ever 2.50U pounds In wagons with
broad tires. Ihe law has been merely
nominal, and during the last ten years
there have been few attempts to en
force It The road supervisors In sev
eral counties have awakened at last to
their duty, and they are posting warn
ings that violators will be prosecuted.
Aside from the fact that laws should
be euforced, the supervisors are taking
the best possible steps to prevent the
deterioration of their roads. Expe
rience bas shown the desfnicthenss
of narrow tires, esix-elally v. nen carry
ing heavy loads, and it lis also shown
that the broad tires are more econom
ical to the owners of the wagons them
selves.
The I'srthagiulaus were excellent
road builders. Portions of the roads
leading from t'arthage east and west
along the w-scosst of Tuuis and Trip
oli are still to lie found. The con
struction of the f 'artliuglnian roads
differed so materially from that of the
Roman highways Pint it is an easy
matter for antl4in,ian to distinguish
netween the two.
IHCOIItIKE KOOSEVELT, UaVKKSUH
i
( Tlieislurt Uoosevell' career is a
praelll experliueut in imiHimsi. He
, U aiming al suiivsa. It be were con
I tut lo lie ifiMaJ, he would in t stand
out amoni; the hiuient meoHboare
known in political life, but who for
the iinaj pari maliilsiu the r wrsonal
(Urity by holding alisjf and exerting
only so much ii.Hueoje as la ptsmible
by arousing or directing public opin
ini. Mr. K'MMrvelt always has rec
ognized that he bad uol only to keep
clean himself, but to gel thing done,
He hesitated ouee when he was an
assembly man. He became a leader
in the House during his first term,
aud he put through stveral reform
laws by forcing or isuading Ihe
parly lo tike them up. la a subse
quent term he waa so influenced by
Ms many mugwump friends that be
sUxmI out alone, wiih a few followers
o fight; Just lo tight. This lasted
only a lew weeks, however. He saw
that be ci uld aicoiupl ah nothing by
peisniiifylng a universal protest; so
in liu went again 1 1 get things done,
to put through all thai II was posgi
'ble In force upon his party, aud his
record iu this legislature was a good
one.
H hen he returned from Cuba, Ihe
o'd question arose In uo very new
for in. Should be stand out with the
comparatively few so-called lude
lieiiilenls and tight everything, or
should lie j tin with the machine and
as Uovernor do things? The ex peri
nent is going on. The first t Tin of
Ifls governorship is about over.
What I, the result? To tell what
laws were passed would uot signify,
from my point of view; that is a
mailer of mere local interest It is
the success or failure of the mau that
is significant, liecause, not alone that
he is honest aud radical, but be.
cause ieople la lieve he is hone t; and
cHMciully the iliticirtiis know this.
The only m ill I ever beard question
it was a notorious Tammany leglsla
loi; I his is Hie way he put il:
"Say, il l you know the Governor's
fid Hie lait iay I ever seen In poll
i c-? I ilnii'i see why nolsxiy thought
of il Ivcfure. It's dead easy. He
jdst lays ihe honesty game, and see
how it worki-!"
Thus fven tie did not rea ly doubt
Mr. KiNtaevelt's honesty He simply
coil Id not rise to point where he
could grasp ihe ide. of sincerity.
Life was a game, and honesty was a
pretty gissl trick to play; that was
all. The two years at Albany have
la-en a sever trial. There w. re no
grei.t pieces of legisb tion up to at
tract isipiilar enthusiasm and help
the Uovernor crrry hia will over Ihe
machine's. Neither waa ther) any
iiiiHirtant executive ait t give his
IMisitioii the lorce of public feeliug.
It w us a commonplace term, and the
ti Kb Is were all quiet eoutesla. All
Ihe heller fir the present purjsjse,
I'hey were within Ihe organization,
practical politics.
For there were flghls. The Oover-
nor aud the orgamztiiou ciasneu
with dangerous frequency; and two
ir three times Mr. Roosevelt aud the
leaders looked red into tne another's
faces, lips tight aud jaws set, separat
ing as if for good aud all. Hut each
time the O ivernor won, the parly
leaders suhuiilted, and to o . oration
was resumed without any nep'e sant
recollei tions. One of lb. s -li sgree-
mel t, or "splits," as they were call
ed, will do here.
Louis F. Pay n was Superintendent
of Insurance when Mr. Roosevelt
was elected. He was a Republican
grown old in Ihe parly ; a friend of

TtlE ( IVIL PENSION SERVICE.
Nearly sixty years ago Thomas II.
Bentou sounded a note of alarm in
the face of what seem harmless and
even praisewoithy generosity, but
which was the fir.-1 innocent step to.
wsrJ a gigantic abuse. When in
April, 1841, the bill to grant (25,000
to the widow of President Harrison,
w ho had Just died, came up in the
Senate, Bentou denounced the grant
as "this new page opened in Ihe book
"of our public expenditures, and this
"new departure taken, which leads
'.'into Ihe Ik tt'iinlessgiiif of civil pen
"sions and family gratuities." Hi
Is Hornless gulf of ivil pensions Is
nol ytt reached, but it is evidently
being fast apprmched. On Thursday
evening at Coo"i Union Ihe Oral
annual meeting of the Association ol
Civil Employes of the State ol New
York was held. It Is an organiza
tion formed last year to further the
interests of those who hold Civil Ser
vice places, and it is sal I to have a
membership of thirty-one hundred,
and eventually expects to become an
army of about sixty thousand, strong
in votes, in voice and political pull.
One of its principal objects Is legisla
tion giving js-nslons to Civil Service
employes after twenty-five years of
service.
Now, It is about time to say plain
ly that such an organize. ion as this is
a menace to gmsj government, and
its aims should be vigorously fought
by every friend of the merit system
and every be liever in democratic in
stitutions. However good the preset, t
intentions of it-t founders, it is bound
to Is-come an Instrument of political
intimidation and blackmail, arid tend
lo the c inversion of this country
from a popular i ovi rnment to
one by and for an intrench
ed, close ci,rHralion of civil
servants. Our (a-ople have a tradi
tional dread of standing armies, but
a standing army with mtisktti is
really less dangerous to the state
than a standing army of civil mer
cenaries ready lo threaten the whole
community into vitiog its demands.
This practice of civil servants of using
th uiseives as a solidarity to exloit
concession from legislator has gone
far enough. The evil of il has been
seen here In Ihe m- thod of the or
gftnized school teaching phalanx
which, NsM-sseil of life tenure, ler
roriw-s Mililiciins inlo passiLg laws
for (hem regardless of public inter
est. The postofflr employes have
shown a similar tendency to organ
Ir.e lo Influence legislation, and have
lasen righteously discouraged by
their superiors. If this movement Is
to go on Ihe American voters may In
(he end have iochMMe between being
blej by life tenure civil servants r
going hack t the skills system,
which, In spite of all its evils, with
its ever impending removals at least
offered small facilities for organised
holdups.
It is lime for Ihe Civil Service re
former lo face this danger to the
merit system. At Ihe b 'ginning
spoilsmen objected that it meant the
creation of a privileged body of office
holders for life who would be in
position to dominate the government
It does uot necessarily mean that,
but uuless stest be taken to keep
civil servauls iu their proper place it
may come lo that in the end. Army
aud navy men are practically barred
from politics aud forbiddeu to at
tempt to lurther their legislative lu
tereals except through o flic-la I chan
nels. It may be necessary to ex tend
that rule to civil servants, Wheu
they secure Ihe perutaueiit (enure of
the soldier (hey sliou'd H-rhasi be
compelled lo exercise Ihe soldier's
olf-re-train I aud avoid from the van
tage ground of their position political
efforts for their own benetlt. There
is no reason w hy civil servants should
have pensions. They are generally
better paid than private employes
doing similar tasks, and do not work
nearly as hard. Unless this country
projioses lo embark ou a wholesale
scheme of old age support for every
body in public or private life from
huge public and private pension
funds, and to discourage all Individ
ual effort at saving, civil HMislon
schemes should be rigorously sup
pressed. If, howi ver, we sre bound
to have pensioned banu of civil ser
vants, we shall be wise to free our
selves from their domination by de
priving holders ol ieusioned office of
all political power. N. Tribune,

Mrs. Sage showed Ihe graduates
