A small bouse which can be occupied by a brood sow and her litter Is the best for raising strong, healthy hogs. It Is the most cleanly and sanitary, and with well-arranged yards the pigs can be cared for with practically no more labor than In a long house. A very economical and useful house Is shown In the accompanying cuts. It FRAMEWORK AND DIMENSIONS. Is set on 2x6-in. runners and the house If 9 ft. 4 In. long and 7 ft. 8 in. wide. A tight, smooth floor, with no cracks or knot holes, is essential. The frame will allow 16 ft boards and battens to be sawed in two. At each end of the house Is a door 2 ft. wide and 2 ft. 6 in. high, which slips up and down between grooves or cleats, and is held up by a rope passing through a small pulley at the ridge. It is quite desirable to have doors at both ends. A necessary adjunct to a sanitary pen is the ventilator in the roof. Two of the 12 in. roof boards are sawed off COMPLETED HOQ HOUSE. a few inches from the ridge. Strips 2 In. thick are nailed above the battens, which will raise the ventilator 3 In. above the roof boards and give ample ventilation while preventing direct drafts. Farm and Home. Milk and Milking. Many people believe that milk Is ready-made and stored in the udder of the cow simply awaiting the milker. This impression Is corrected by the statement of the well-known scientist, John Burroughs, who says: "Most persons think 'that giving down or holding up the milk by the cow is a voluntary act. In fact, they fancy that the udder is a vessel filled with milk, and that the cow releases or withholds It Just as she chooses. But the udder is a manufactory; It Is filled with blood from which the milk is manufactured while you milk. This process is controlled by the cow's nervous system; when she is excited or in any way disturbed, as by a stranger, or by taking away her calf, or any other cause, the process is ar rested and the milk will not' flow. The nervous energy goes elsewhere. The whole process is as involuntary as is digestion in man and is disturbed or arrested in about the same way. In diana Farmer. Stoppage of Milk Flow. A very common trouble in every dairy is to find an animal with the point of the teat closed, either due to a bruise of teat Itself or to infection of the milk duct which causes a lit tle scab to form, and unless this Is properly hdadled with care and clean liness the infection is apt to cause a loss of the entire quarter. Thoroughly wash the part in an antiseptic solu tion; then dip a teat plug into a heal ing ointment and Insert it, allowing same to remain from one milking to another. In this manner closure can be overcome in a very simple and sat isfactory way. A milking tube should not be used if it can possibly be avoid ed, as there is much danger of infect ing the entire quarter by Its use. Denver Field and Farm. Vigor In tbe Flock. The period of usefulness of good sheep varies much with the breed as well as with individuals of the same breed. Some become unprofitable at three or four years of age, others at ten or twelve or even older. Whenever a sheep begins to show signs of weak ness, evidence of disease or lack of thrift and vigor it should be removed from the flock.- "All is lost that is poured into a cracked dish;" all is lost that is put into an unthrifty sheep worse than lost often, for a diseased sheep may do great damage to the flock, and when one loses thrift it loses its natural power to resist dis ease. Nature has marked such a one for destruction, and tbe shepherd should forestall nature by disposing of It Orange Judd Farmer. . Creamery Batter Production. - The 1900 census gave the total amount of creamery butter made in the United States as 420,126,000 pounds. In 1904 the figures had increased to 631,480.000, and it Is estimated that the 1910 figures will reach fully 725, 000,000 pounds. The Farm Cream Separator, Butter making in - the home dairy and creamery has been almost revo lutionized by the introduction of the farm separator, which separates cream from milk by a centrifugal process. The shallow pan or crock system and the deep-setting system have been largely eliminated, and with their exit a considerable part of the drudgery of the household disap peared. The farmer Is now no longer required to make the dally trip to the creamery; he can retain the skim milk to feed his calves and pigs and de liver the cream, sweet, every other day, when properly cared for, and this substitution of cream delivery for milk delivery by creamery patrons saves them labor and millions of dol lars yearly in expense. Report Secre tary United States Department of Agriculture. The Lost Cad. "I wish," said an experienced veteri nary, "that I had all the cloth which has been wasted in manufacturing cuds to replace those "lost" This Is one of the dregs of superstition which still clings in some places. The cud Is returned to the mouth after enter ing the first stomach, and Its loss Is generally an' indication of Indigestion. This Is most prevalent In winter, when cows are heavily grained. Should It appear in summer when they are on pasture, but receiving some grain, It Is well to remove the latter ration for a few days. After a day or two give 1 pound of Epsom salts and 2 ounces ground ginger root mixed in two quarts of warm water. After she re sumes her cud feed for a time on green grass and good hay, gradually working back to the grain ration. Dynamite for Tree Planting. Holes for tree planting, according to the Engineering Record, have been excavated by the Long Island Rail way by blasting with dy .amlte. A hole about two feet deep was find dug with a posthole augur at an angle of about 35 degrees with the surface and loaded with half a stick of 40 per cent dynamite. This shot makes a hole about two feet deep and three feet In diameter, leaving the earth In the bottom pulverized suitably for plant ing. It is stated that two men can thus excavate 250 holes per ten-hour day at a cost of about 7 cents per hole. Flowers as Food. An interesting development of the use of flowers for food is recorded in the daily papers, says the London Globe. The use of candied petals of the violet as a sweetmeat has long been known, but the practice Is now arising of preserving flowers whole. You may now buy a bunch, say of vlo lets, for your buttonhole, and after ward eat them. As a matter of fact, a number of flowers are habitually eaten. Cloves, capers, cauliflowers and artichokes are all flowers, or parts of flowers, before the blossoms have ex panded. Pickle for Carina; Meats. Fourteen pounds salt, four ounces saltpeter, two ounces saleratus, five pounds brown sugar, tablespoonful of red pepper, twelve gallons of water, to be mixed in a cold state. The above quantity is sufficient for 400 pounds. If the pickle gets moldy, boll and cool and use again. For pickling beef, four gallons of water, one and a half pounds of brown sugar, six pounds salt, two and a half ounces of saltpeter to a hundred pounds of beef, Rural N6W Yorker. DUCHESS "WHO LEADS LTT EDU CATION OF WORKING GIRLS. L i ;fL It? 3 $3 fry-', Ni! rx v f l sfe4i j if s" J Congressional Seeds. The National Government is becom ing more liberal to the agricultural interests each year. The appropria tion bill has reported, covering all appropriations made for the Agricul tural Department, amounts this year to $13,773,276, which is an Increase of $889,450 over that of last season The forestry service has secured an increase of $500,000 for fire protec tion. Last year's forest fires were an object lesson. Pare Milk. Certified milk sells in all large cities for about twice the price of other milk. It Is absolutely clean, no Im purities being allowed to get Into the milk. A layer of fine cheesecloth Is stretched over the milk pail, a loyor of absorbent cotton is placed upon that, then another piece of cheesecloth. There Is no sediment in the bottom of the milk vessels of milk treated in this way. It is not expensive either. War on Bad Seed. Good work in detecting adulterated seeds Is being carried on by the De partment of, Agriculture. Of 1,471 samples of seeds taken last year 102 samples were found adulterated or misbranded. Tbe department publishes the results of the test, together with the names of the Arms that sold the seed. It Is claimed that since this work began the trade in adulterated seeds has fallen off greatly. San Jose Scale. The San Jose scale Is the Insect that should be sought out and fought at all seasons of tbe year. It is a soft-bodied insect protected by a waxy covering which can be penetrated only by very corrosive chemicals. Owing to Injury to foliage, these chemicals must be used in winter or when the trees are dormant The Duchess of Marlborough has bQ- come deeply interested In philanthrop ic and educational work among Lon don working girls, being actively con nected with the management of the National Physical Recreation Society, of which King Edward is also a pa tron. The society, established in 1886, furnishes opportunities for . working girls to obtain Instruction In physical education, providing hundreds of in structors for its numerous gymnast urns. The Duchess recently presided at the thirteenth annual drill compe tition, given by the pupils of the so ciety for challenge shields and med als, and she presented the tokens te the winners.

It was an Ingenious husband who, according to a writer in the New York Sun, sent his wife shopping in a taxi cab. A friend who happened to see him say good-by to her from the curb remarked on his apparent extrava gance. "It's economy, really," said the hus band. "Whenever she's In a store she'll be worried to death because that taxicab is eating up money all the time, and so she won't stay long enough to spend half as much as she would if she went on foot or In a street car."

Tbe apples which could not be sold were turned into 73,000,00 gallons of cider, which is the favorite beverage of ths Inhabitants of Northern Franc. Tbe Poppy. The poppy throughout the East is an emblem of death. In many parts of India this flower is planted upon graves and In cemeteries. Whether or not the Idea was suggested by the poisonous character of the Juice Is un certain. It is believed that the poppy was known as a funeral plant to the ancient Egyptians, for upon the tombs opened by Belzonl there appeared rep resentations of plants which were evi dently intended for poppies.
