Tho averagu joraon baa the Idea that tho hog la about tho toughest an imal on tho farm and noeds very Ht tlo attention. They aoo him wallow ing around In tho mud and assume that IT ho can stand that he can stand anything. As a matter ot fact, as all men know who have handled hogs, tho hog 13 moro Busooptlblo to diseases and moro orton affected by unsanitary conditions than any other animal on tho farm. Tho hog looks as though ho could atand cold weather In great shnpo because of tho large amount of fat on him and yet ho is more likely to bo hurt by a draft or exposure thiin a cow or horao. Tho Improved hoghouso has helped considerably in eliminating diseaso and putting tho hog-ralsing business on a bettor paying basis than over before. Tho fact that tho hog needs as careful attontlon during the winter ns any othor kind of stock has been Impronsod on farmers moro and moro, and tho" result is that wintor hogbouses of modern sanitary construction are springing up all ovor tho country, Thooo houses aro designed In many different ways, and many different styles havo given tho best sort of ro- suits. Tho accompanying floor plan and poropoctivo show a stylo that has many good points. Plenty of sun Bhino is provided, which is most esson tlal for tho health ot hogs. Tho "Sun shino" wlndowB tnko caro of thi3 in good shapo. Hogs havo often boon known to for age through tho winter in good shape, but thoy cannot do tills and dovolop in to high-grado porkors such as aro want ed In tho market. Thoy will uso up nil tho enorgy that thoy rccolvo from thoir feed in developing heat to pro tect .thorn from tho cold. Under such conditions it 1b impossible for thorn to dovolop Into flno hoavy hogs that will command a good price. Tho Iioubo shown horo Is built In tho most modern way and is auitod particularly to tho noeds of tho man who is rnlBing hogB for profit and not because ho thinks thoro should bo Bomo on ovory farm, it Is built strongly, bo na to protect tho hogs in all kinds of weather. Tho foundation and tho floor aro of concroto. Tho foundations nro car ried down bolow tho frost lino to sub etantlal footings. Thoy nro also carried abovo grndo for a distance of 18 Inches.

This air must bo obtained without causing a draft, as drafts nro often fatal to high-grado hogs. FORESIGHT IN CARLYLE PLAN If England's Poor Had Been Settled on Watte Land War Might Have Been Avoided. Seventy years ago Thomas Carlyle saw moro clearly than the British par liamentary peoplo sco today. Seventy years ago ho proposed to tako Great Britain's surplus population in war ships and settle them on tho waste lands of tho Cnundlan Northwest, in stead rf nllowlng freo trade or frco chanco to settle up tho AmorlcafI Northwest. Had his ndvleo been fol lowed there should bo 30,000,000 or 40,000,000 Englishmen by now In Can ada instead of 5,000,000, and from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 Englishmen In South Africa instead of a fow hundred thousands. There would havo been no Boer war if Carlylo's insight hnd been used CO or 70 years ago. Speak ing of tho Boer war a noted Briton says, "Tho only thing that saved us was tho fact that tho Capo Dutch didn't Join tholr kinsmen across thn Vnni and Capo Colony was kept qulot by tho Httlo band of English settlors who were plnntod somowhat after Carlylo's plan In tho eastern nrovlnco fin nr 7i years ago; nothing else, nothing but that, stood botwoen us and Irremcdl able Jofcat." Thoro probably would bo no compe tition no mortal combat between Eng land and Germany todny had Carlylo been ruler in England, for tho British empire Instead of counting some CO, 000,000 Englishmen would now count moro than 100,000,000. Carlyle was "tho first and greatest Imperialist, just as ho was tho wisest Bocial reformer." Everything Sold on Pushcarts. Evory day is pushcart day on Ful ton strqot, Now York.

Sullivan over champion of tho world?" This haB been answered In the nlflrmatlvo as well as tho ncgntlvo, noted critics flisngreolng as to whether or not Sul llvan really hold tho title. Tom An drews of Mllwaukeo, a well-known sporting authority, declares Sullivan wns In reality tho champion, An drows burrowed Into ancient pugilistic history and unearthed tho following facts to uphold him in his contention: In 18G9 Tom Allen, heavyweight champion of England, and Mlko Mc Coolo, an American, fought for tho world's championship near St. Loula. and McCoole won on a foul In the ninth round. In 1873 Allen and Mc Coolo stnged another battlo and on that occasion Allen was tho victor. That victory restored tho champion ship to him. Lato in 1S73 Joo Goss of England camo to Amorica and fought Allen near-Covington, Ky. Goss won on a foul in tho twonty-aoventh round. In 1880 Pndtly riyan fought Goss nt Col lier, W. Vn., and won tho decision in tho eighty-seventh round. February 7, 1882, John L. Sullivan mat Ityan at Mississippi City for ?5,W0 a sldo and knocked out Ityan in tho ninth round. Goss beat Allen, Ryan beat Goss. and Sullivan boat Ryan, so why shouldn't Sullivan bo looked upon as this world's champion aftor his victory over Ryan? asks Androws. Sullivan's victory ovor Ryan, and tho victories of tho other champions boforo Ryan and Sullivan wero undor tho old London .prlzo ring rules, 'but thoso wero tho rules that renlly gov erned In thoso days,' and It was under thoso rules that champions wore mudo and unmade. In further argument that Sullivan was clmmpiou of tho world Androws cites thoso facts: In 1S85 Jem Smith claimed tho Tho Dalo Axworthy trotter Yaco G 2:0914, is nn M. & M. probability. Wo notlco that ovon whon a lighter Is trained to tho minute ho needs a lot ot soconds. Fioldor Jones says that ho Is going to catalogue Gcorgo Slslor as a pitch er Instead of an outfloldor.

Smith won and was acclaimed tho heavywolght champion of England. December 19, 1887, Smith and Kllraln, nn American, fought 100 rounds to a draw In Islo den Souvorains, Franco. July 8, 1889, Sullivan and Kllraln met In Richburg, Miss., and fought with llaro knuckles, as had Smith and KU rain. Sullivan defeated Kllraln in 75 rounds, tho battle lasting two hours and sixteen minutes. Smith was only the champion of England, assorts Androws. Tho best ho could do against Kllraln was n draw. Sullivan, howover, bent Kil rnin, so why shouldn't Sullivan have been entitled to tho world's champion ship without a question of doubt? Some folks, mostly English, wero of tho opinion that Charllo Mitchell shared the championship honors with Sullivan becauso ho hold Sullivan to a 30-round draw In Chantllly, Franco, but Mltcholl didn't sharo tho honor Tho championship was Sullivan's un til ho wns beaten; a draw scored by nn opponent against tho champion does not halve tho championship. Tho )u!o on this question is plain. Sullivan's fight with Kllraln was tho last baro-knucklo battlo. Boxing gloves worn introduced shortly after ward nnd Sullivan popularized them by using them in nil his theatrical work thereafter. He traveled all ovei tho world, met all comors and, beat them all until Jm Corbott crossed his path. Corbett certainly was entitled to the world's championship bocauso ho fought Peter Jackson, tho negro, who was champion of Australia, to a G1 round draw In 1891; beat Sullivan in 21 rounds Soptembor 7, 1892, and Jan. uary 2G, 1901, scored n knockout in tlireo rounds ovor Charlie Mitchell, who was tiien champion of England.

Club Owner 'Surprised at Immense Amount of Money Spent to Secure Stars From Major Leagues A Few Examples. The llbornllty of the Fedornl league toward itn ball players left the club owners of orcnnlzod linll ilnm. founded whon tho Feds showed their 3alary list nt tho recent pence moot ing. A club owner in ono of tho ma jor leagues stated that ho was sur prised hen tho Federal leaguo offi cials told of the thousands of dollars thoy had spent on inflated salaries. In order to luro tho players away from tho major leagues their salaries wero doubled nnd somo of them tripled. According to tho ofllclals of organized ball, it was this unusual rxtrnvaganco of tho Federal league which caused its downfall. A fow examples of tho Incroasa which tho Fedornl leaguo gave in snlaries, shows that it was impos sible for tho Federal league to ever como out oven financially. Tho fol lowing table shows how much salary somo of tho players received undor organized baseball and what tlio Fed eral league paid them: Organized Federal Plaj'er Hall. Lphruo.

An official ot organized baseball said: "Thoy estimato that tho Federal leaguo lost 53,000,000 In this venture I tell you that $4,500,000 or ?5,000,000 would bo nearer tho mark. It was tho biggest plcco of folly I over heard of to imagine that any basoball leaguo could llvo and pay tho plnyors such salaries." It is estimated that moVo than sov-onty-flvo of tho ball players whom tho Federal leaguo enticed away from or ganized ball with the big offer of money received moro than twico as much as they recolved with organized ball. This itom nlono would represent nn annual expenditure of $225,000. It can readily bo seen now why tho big issue in tho peaco negotiations is tho seventy or more playors whom tho Federal leaguo has under Iron-bound contracts nt thoso inflated salaries. Organized baseball has told tho Fed eral leaguo club owners that they can not hopo to pay thoso salarios, ovon If thoy tako tho playors back. It Is belloved that tho compromlso will be effected by organized ball paying tho greater part of tho salaries to tho playors thoy take, while tho Federal league must mako up tho balance.
