Elgin Breeder Builds Hog House on Model Lines Elaborate Home for Pigs Proves Successful Venture, Three-Story Structure Is Used. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Elgin, Neb., June 3.—For years the farmers seeing that the best mortgage lifter the farmer had was his hogs, have been trying to raise better hogs and also trying to take better care of them. Elgin has a man who it would seem has taken the last step in bettering the condition under which the pigs could start off on their jour ney from birth to the slaughter house or packing plant. Fred Wesbey, living one-half mile from Elgin, has built a new hog barn 30 by 48 feet. This barn haa three stories for the hogs and a loft used for straw to be used for bedding. There are 10 pens on the first and second floor, and 16 pens on the third floor. The first and second floors were laid of lumber then cov ered with concrete. The third floor pens are half concrete, where the bed ding is placed, and half lumber floor, so It will not be so hard on the young pigs’ feet. The barn is 18 feet from the ground to the eve. The sows are placed In the pong on third floor at •farrowing time. When the pigs are 10 days old they are bought down to the second floor, where two sows and their pigs are placed in one pen. Ten days later they are old enough to be taken from the barn. He expects to raise 500 pigs a month in this barn and sell them at weaning age. The sides of the troughs that sows and pigs eat out of are galvanized iron and the bottoms of concrete. He is placing harrels In the partition of the pens with water so arranged as to furnish water as the hogs need it. Clean straw is kept under the hogs all the time. The gates In the alley ways can he lifted straight up. Eai-h pen has a window for light and ventilation. The first and second floors have 20-foot porches or sun parlors. From the pens on these floors the sows and pigs can go out for a sun bath when weather will per* mit. The barn is heated in the winter time by a hot water system. Farm ers used to the old way of caring for their sows and pigs thought .Mr. Wes bey was insane when he began to talk such an elaborate home for his young pigs, hut this barn is proving a suc cess and hundreds of hog raisers have gone to see it. Mr. Wesbey is plan ning to build another in the near fu ture. Farmers Get Plans for Modern Homes That ths city man no longer ha* a monopoly on the modern home is evidenced by the requests for house plans and home conveniences received by the United States agricul tural college. The farm home can he made Just as convenient and as modern as the city home by proper planning and by the installation of modern equipment and at no greater cost than in the city. A well-planned water system will furnish running water to the kitchen and bath room, a septic tank will take care of the sewerage from the hath room and kitchen in an efficient effective, and inoffensive manner, heat is supplied by a heating plant placed In the basement, and light Is supplied from an electric plant and may he had In each room by merely pressing a button just as In the city The house plans furnished by the agricultural college incorporate any one or all of these conveniences and give suggestions for proper installa tion.

Lower—Experimental mill at the college, where w heat is ground into flour for bead testing purpose*. By ft. W. SAMPSON. A Nebraska farmer took some shrivelled wheat to a miller ami was paid more for it than was being paid for some lots of plump. No. 1 wheat. The wheat was low in test and graded No. 4, yet the miller was willing to pay a premium for it. Why was he willing to do this'’ Why should wheat from one sec tion of the country he preferred over that of another section? Better Bread Aim. The answer is that certain wheat makes better bread. Why does the Minnesota miller pay more for dark, hard wheat from the west, northwest, oij southwest? The answer is the same. It makes better bread. Within the state of Nebraska, in certain seasons, there are regions or localities where wheat is grown which possesses better bread making quail ties than wheat grown In other parts of the state. Minneapolis mills are buying wheat in some parts of Ne braska In preference to that from Minnesota and the Dakotas. To lo cate these sections of the state ia one of the tasks that the chemistry department of the Nebraska College of Agriculture has undertaken. Test Wheat Samples. Samples of wheat from sll parts of the state have been milled in a small experimental mill which has Just been installed Ht the agricultural college. The mill is so equipped that a flour equal to a good grade of high ly milled patent flour is obtained from these samples. The flour !h made in to dough, baked under standard, ac curately controlled conditions, and the product scored, and compared with the bread from a standard high patent flour. The particular substance in wheat that makes wheat flour peculiarly adapted to breadmaking is known as gluten. It is the gummy, elastic, or doughy material obtnined by the small boy, when he chews a mouth ful of wheat. No other cereal, with the exception of rye, which possesses it to a lesser degree, contains thi* gummy, elastic substance. (ilulen Content Varies. The amount of gluten in wheat varies. Wheat grown in the semi arid regions has a higher gluten con tent than that grown in the moist regions such as the Pacific coast, the south, and the eastern states. Wheat grown in regions of rigorous climate is dark and hard, while when grown where conditions are more favorable, the grain is light in color and soft and starchy. Thus it is that millers prefer dark, hard wheat from the semi arid regions. f'limatle conditions have much to do with the gluten content of wheat. The hot. dry weather that may have shrivelled this Nebraska farmer's wheat and reduced the yield may also have caused the gluten content of the wheat to be higher. Difference in climate between the western and eastern parts of Nebraska bear an inverse relation to the bread making value of the wheat grown In these sections. ThaDds, wheat grown un der the rigorous climatic conditions of western Nebraska has more gluten in it than the wheat grown in the milder climate of eastern Nebraska. Difference in Wheat, Other differences in wheat grown in different parts of the state may be due to soil conditions. The variety of wheat may have something to do wiih the gluten content. Ho far. definite data has not been obtained on the gluten content of different varieties. This is a problem yet to be worked out. When the millers and farmers know from what parts of the state the best bread making wheats are grown, both may profit. The farmera In those regions may expect a bet ter price. The miller will know ’where to get his good wheat to blend with p<vorer wheats to turn out a standard and uniform grade of flour. Furthermore, a better knowledge on the part of the farmers of the value of some wheats often graded as No. 3 or No. 4 may often enable them to dispose of their shrivelled. low test ing wheat to better advantage.

Banish Hog Wallows, Urge Farm Specialists The old centra! hog wallow makes a mighty expensive bathtub for all hogs and more especially for pigs under four months of age, according to livestock specialists of the Univer sity of Nebraska college. Young pigs are very susrepttve to parasitic and filthborn disease contamination which are assembled In great numbers In muddy hpg wallows. If young pigs are allowed the freedom of such a place, good results should not be eg ported. Plenty of shade on clean, sanitary ground, together with an abundant supply of clean drinking water will perform the duties which mlyht be expected of a hog wallow and will at the same time In no way cause Injury to young pigs or older hogs hy unnecessarily subjecting them to the Influences of disease and parasites Shade may be provided on the average farm at practically no ex penae hy using old hoards and posts which are of little value for any other purpose. The shade should he con structed so that It has a clearance of at least four feet from the ground and shall consist mostly of roof Some non set the posts, nail on a few rnfters, use woven wire for sheet ing and straw at- hny for ahtnglea A shado Is generally cooler than a hog house.

Fresh eggs if properly preserved will be satisfactory for all uses six or eight months hence, according t» Clara M. Sutter, extension specialist in poultry, who gives these direc tions for preserving eggs in water glass: “To preserve 15 dozen eggs, select a 5 gallon earthen or stone crock, J clean it thoroughly, scald and dry j it. Heat 10 to 12 quarts of water to boiling point, then cool It. When ! cool, measure out 9 quarts of water, place in crock and add one quart of 1 water glass. Stir well and put In the eggs; care should be taken not , to crack/or break the shells while ' nutting them Into the solution; be Isure that the liquid covers the eggs by at least two inches at all times. Put the crock in a cool, dry place, ; tightly covered with a lid or with waxed paper to prevent evaporation. “If water glass is not obtainable, limo solution may be us6d, although it is considered not quite so satis i factory as the first method. For | best results, the eggs must be fresh i and clean, and preferably infertile. For this reason it is always best to candle them before preserving. The egg should be cleaned with a cloth dampened in vinegar to remove stains; never wash the eggs with soap and water as the water takes off the protective coating and may cause contents to spoil. Never pre serve a bad egg, or even a “doubt ful" one. as one bad egg in a jar may spoil all the others. "Ordinarily, eggs preserved by these directions will be good for the table as well ns for cooking for the next six or eight months. If pre served eggs are boiled, a small hole should be made with a pin in the larger end before placing the egg in water. This lets the air In the egg escape when heated and thus prevents cracking.” Cabbage Worms Are Easily Controlled The cabbage norm Is the dread of every carful cook and housewife and the liane of the cabbage grower. If there are white butterflies hovering about the cabbage patch, one can take for granted that there will soon be a crop of little worms on the young plants. The worms are not difficult to con trol. says the t’nited State* agricul tural college. Repeated experiments have shown that arsenate of lead is the best remedy. This material may be sprayed on using two pounds to BO gallon, of water or In small quanti ties two table spoonfuls to a gallon of water. The adhesiveness of the spray is Increased by adding an equal weight of laundry soap. Lead arsen ate may also be dusted on the young plants, using one part by weight of the powdered form to five part* by by weight of hydrated lime or Tour. The mixture Is placed in a gunny sack and the sack shaken over the plants early In the morning after a heavy dew. This material can be used with ab solute safetly. The outer leaves con tain moat of the poison and these are removed before the cabbage Is cook ed. Chemical analysis has shown thst 25 cabbage heads dusted or spray ed In the ordinary way would have to he eaten by an adult human at one meal before poisonous effects could be produced.

TELEPHONE AT LANTIC «JII Updike Grain Corporation OMAHA Chicago f Kanaaa City Milwaukee Garden and Orchard Suggestions By PIRIJCY L. KEENE. Cultivate the Garden. Cultivation of the garden proves the most effective way to control weeds and conserve moisture it done frequently and shallow. A garden rake. If used every day, is an efficient tool for this purpose. A hoe will be needed seldom, where the soil is kept constantly worked with the garden rake. Wheel hoes are satisfactory under proper management. Under no conditions should the soil be al lowed to cake. Destroying Weeds. Garden paths may be kept free from weeds by using solutions of various substances. Gasoline, while expensive, Is very effective. Common salt Is also good. Both of these so lutions will kill blue grass and should not be used fo/ killing weeds in lawns Iron sulphate perhaps is used most extensively for this pur pose and especially against dande lions. Dandelion Treatment. One and one-haif pounds of iron sulphate are used to each gallon of water and mixed thoroughly with it. The spray should be applied with a force pump or some other type of sprayer in a One mist as close to the crown of the dandelion as pos sible. Four gallons of the solution should be made to cover 1.000 square feet of area. Applications should be gin with the first appearance of the weeds and be repeated every 10 days or two weeks. This solution is not injurious to grasses but will injure clover lawns. It should be kept away from clothing, building and side walks, as it will stain them. Peonies, Dahlias and (iladioii. Peonies are In the bud now and should be well watered where neces sary. They are frequently disbudded to encourage the production of larger blooms. Only one bud Is left on each stem, liquid manure may be applied now and it will Increase the vigor of the plant and the size of the blooms. Dahlias and gladioli may be planted now if they have not Already been set. t'anna plants may l>e set deeper than they commonly are, as this aids them in withstanding drouth conditions and is support ing the leaf and flowt i stalks which are inclined to break over, easily. Watch For Insects. Watch the fruit and vegetables for any signs of insect pests and fungous diseases. In many case*, it is pre ferable to use a preventive spray, rather than a curative one. For specific directions for such treatment, consult your state entomologist. v Meets in Kansas City Kansas City, June 3—Five hundred Jersey breeders from 15 states have made reservations for the annual meeting of the American Jersey Cattle club here June 4 to 7, ac cording to an announcement made by C. J. Tucker, manager of the Longview Farm and in charge of arrangements for the convention. R T. Lee. field representative of the club, who has Just finished 2* county meetings of Jersey breeders in Mis souri, says that hundreds of Mis souri breeders are going to take ad s'antage of this opportunity to at tend a meeting of the American Jer sey Cattle club. This is the annual ; convention of the club and the first time tt has met outside the state of , New York Reduction of the membership fee from $100 to $50 or $25 will be a question that will receive a great deal of interest, according to breeders. In the southwest, many small herds of purebred Jerseys are owned by the maS of moderate means, who does not feel that he can pay the higher fee. Several petitions have been cir culated In Missouri and Kansas ask ing that the membership fee be re duced to $25 and the many signers fTwve agreed to Join if the reduction is made. Specialist Tells of Hog Cholera Agricultural College Bulletin Discusses Disease and Out lines Symptoms. A bulletin entitled "Treatment of Hog Cholera” Is now available from county and state agricultural exten sion offices, it hag been published In answer to numerous Inquiries received by these offlees concerning every phase of the disease. It is quite com plete in i'self and should be valuable to every hog raised In Nebraska, say agricultural college livestock spe cialists who come in contact with the farmers themselves. The symptoms are outlined but no attempt Is made In this bulletin to nstruct the farmer* in diagnosing cases that may occur In their herds. This, In the opinion of the writer, is work for a trained person with con siderable experience. Prevention of the disease, besides the usual pre cautions of strict sanitation, resolves itself into the two methods of vacci nation: the single and the simulta neous treatments, each of which 1h clearly discussed. The questions "What is Serum?” and "What la Virus’ ’are onswered briefly. Advice is given concerning age' for vaccina tion, handling pregnant sows and sows with pigs, and vaccination prac tices and methods. The correct dosages for various weights are tabulated and directions for vaccination procedure, and care of Instruments are Included. After effects that may be expected are dis cussed.
