A Desirable Hog Cot. ' By GEORGE w BROWN. Ohio.) There Is no theme upon the farm 'hat will so benefit the farmer as to keep the quarters ar.d surroundings of the farm In a sanitary and health ful condition where swine are kept. Nowhere will an outbreak of chol era become so disastrous as upon the farm where these animals are kept with dirty, flitby surroundings, and no care taken in the disinfection of the nesting places and s!op troughs during the summer time. I'pon our farm we have never prac ticed the method of keeping a herd of swine in one place very long, and never do we fatten out more than one bunch of animals In the same field in one year, preferring rather to shift <«ur operations about from place to place. We have no permanent quarters, but rely upon the service of the cot. shown in the illustration. These bunks can be shifted’about easily upon runners, and many times each year are changed from one field to another, or from one pen to an other. thus we always have the ani mals in fresh sleeping quarters, and upon fresh forage. While the animals are located upon a new range, we break up the old range, cropping it In some profitable farm crop, thus get ting the benefit of all excrement from the animals profiting in its enrich ment of the soil, and we as well freshening and sweetening the soil by cultivation Then swine should be supplied with <ome shade aside from a board shel ter to ward off the heated rays of the summer sun. There is nothing for this purpose quite so nice as clumps of willows, catalpas or pop lars grown In seme convenient loca tion lu each field, preferably along the fence row. in such manner that the animals may have access to the cool ing shade during the heat of the day. In one of our fields we have such a clump of quaking-asp and it is pleas ing to note how contented these ani mals are during the sweltering beat of the day, as they lie about in the shade of this rustling clump of trees. If there Is not such shade planted along the borders of a field we should not be slow in planting such if we were In the swine growing business, and every wide awake farmer should be. for indeed he should consider . himself too poor to be without this profitable animal upon his premises Many make a mistake in allowing • their swine to run to the creek dur ing the summer for water. We have ■ such a place upon our farm, and we might save 'much time in getting wa j ter to our swine many times if we allowed them to go to this water | course, but we are afraid of it. In | deed in this field we never allow our swine to roam, for we do not know what farmer several miles above us , in another district might have chol I era or plague, and our animals ex ; posed by contamination in the water ' flowing down stream. We rather prefer to keep our nni j mals well away from this stream of 1 water, and give them pure water i from the well in disinfected troughs, thus doing our part toward keeping down loss from cholera. We keep down the objectionable and nauseating heg wallow upon our farm and do not tolerate it in the least. We know the swine enjoy it, but we have learned to detest Us abominable company, and by chang ing the animals about, and locating new qifhrters frequently we keep this mire of mud and filth abandoned. With the advancement along other lines of farm operations, the ad vancement in this line of work ap peals to us as very significant in keep ing these animals in a sanitary and healthful location at all times. USEFUL GUARD FOR A WINDOW Missouri Mm Has Invented Gate That Will be Found Con* venlent for Variety of Uses. The door and window guard pat ented by a Missouri man has a variety of uses. It comprises a gate made of parallel pickets linked together by short cross bars and sliding easily back and forth on rollers. It can be ■ 1 I Door and Window Guard. folded up into small compass against one side of the opening it guards or stretched all the way across and made fast. The uses to which such a I gate can be put are both numerous I and obvious. It can be attached to home or store window to bar thieves i and in that case is made of iron and i padlocked in its open position, or it | ‘'an be made of wood and erected at : any opening through which a baby : could fall, particularly at the head of stairways in the bouse or on the porch, in place of the gate of solid construction most used for such pur pose. The height of the pickets, of course, will vary with the require ments. Fog Wards Off Frost. Some California fruit growers now save their crops from frost by creat ing an artificial fog. An iron wagon carrying a sheet iron tank contain I ing straw sprinkled with water. A ' fire of tar is lighted in the wagon beneath the tank of water sprinkled straw which generates a large amount of steam, creating a fog which effectually protects the trees. Hindus on California Farms. There are nearly 10.000 Hindus scattered along the Pacific coast from California to the Canadian line and many of them are working on farms. They know little about farming but learn readily and as their pay is small farmers find them fairly profit able. Usefulness of Telephone. The telephone wire is one of the strongest ties that binds people to the farm. It is the nerve which keeps farm folk in touch with their Mends and neighbors and in touch-with the outside world. PROPER PLACE s FOR CHICKENS Should Not be Allowed to Roost On Top of Harness or Bony — Should Hare Good House. One of the most Important things In the care or laying bens is the house that they are to live in. On most farms it used to be tbat tbe ben roosted any old place, and her favor ite place was on top of tbe barneys or buggy. And when they could ubt reach their favorite place, they took to the trees, but I can say that tbe ben's life on the farm has changed, for now you see nice bouses and yards for them, says a writer In the Successful Farming. A good poultry bouse may be de nned as one that Is dry. warm and ventilated, and fitted to accommodate tbe kind of fowls that is to be kept. A stationary house suitable for any kind of fowl may be built of stone or trick, but the beat bouse-is built ol lumber made in a size suitable rot moving once a year at least. Lumber is cbeaper than brick or stone, and when you find that there is some im provement that you could make to the i advantage of the hen and coop, ft will be a good deal cheaper remodeling the wooden building. It is impossible to build a house that will answer for all times of the year. You will find alterations to make in spring and fall, so when wood is used in its construction it can be I built in sections and bolted together! I !n warm weather you can use wire frames in place of the board sections. Give the hens plenty of room, lots of clean straw to be U6ed as scratching material, fight lice nine days a week, and see if the hens don't pay their way. Swindler* Prosecuted. The mayor of New York is vigor ously prosecuting swindlers who sell short weight potatoes. The law re quires the barrel of potatoes to con tain 100 quarts, and to weigh 174 pounds, but most of the barrels in use are short from 20 to 50 pounds. One of America's most picturesque figures celebrated the golden anni versary of his wedding the other day This man is Joseph H. Choate, thej brilliant lawyer, orator and diplomat, who did so much toward increasing American popularity in England while in charge of the American embassy in London. Joseph Hodges Choate was born in Salem. Mass., in 1832 and comes of a famous legal family, his father. Rufus Choate, teing one of the most eminent lawyers of his time. He was educated at Harvard and was admitted to the bar in 1S53. While never a politician in the practical sense he always toolt an active interest im public affairs antf during his legal career in New Yorkj took a leading part in many of the re form movements. Fifty years ago Mr. Choate married. Miss Caroline D. Sterling of Cleve land. Their married life has been one,’ of happiness. Not long ago some onej asked him w ho he would choose to be if he were not josepn n. c noate. "Mrs. Choate's second husband,” was his instantaneous reply. At the anniversary celebration, whicu took place at Naumkeag. neargfStockbridge Mass . were several persons who were present at the wedding 50 years ago , Mr. Choate, because of his unique personality, his exceptional mental and' physical endowment and his rare intellectual and social powers, will be re membered as one of our strongest representatives at the British Court. While in England Mr Choate was a general favorite. Up to the time that Mr. Choate accepted the appointment as American ambassador to the Court of St. James he was known purely as a lawyer. For years he was considered the most brilliant and successful practitioner of the1 New York fear. • ••••• ] CANADA’S ROYAL GOVERNOR |‘ The Dominion of Canada deeply ap preciates the honor which has been conferred on her by the appointment of the Duke of Connaught as governor general and will give his royal high ness a most enthusiastic welcome on his arrival. The distinction which is Canada's in having, as a representa tive of the British throne, an uncle of King George will be more readily un derstood when it is stated that never before has a prince of the royal blood been sent as governor general to any of the British possessions over the seas. The nearest approach to such distinction was when the Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, resided in Canada with her husband, the Marquis of Lome, who was then governor general. The marquis aft erward became and is now the Duke of Argvle. The Duke of Connaught is the only surviving son of Queen Victoria. He was tier tnira son and the seventh of her nine children. His surviving sisters are Helena, Frincess Christian: Louise, Ducbess of Argyle, and Beatrice, Princess Henry of Battenburg If so good a mother as Queen Victoria justly may be said to have had a fa vorite son. then Arthur William Patrick Albert. Duke of Connaught, was that son. just as the Princess Beatrice may be said to have been her favorite daughter. The duke was born in 1850. Shortly after a visit which Queen A ictoiia made to Ireland, and it is due to an incident of that visit that he bears the name Patrick. In 1S97 the duke married the beautiful Princess Louise, of Prussia, second cousin to the present Kaiser. He has three chil dren. His elder daughter. Princess Margaret, is the wife of Crown Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and some day will be Queen of that country. His only son. Prince Arthur Patrick, is Mnmarried. as is his younger daughter. Princess Victoria Patricia. The duke, it will be observed, did not forget the Irish when he named his son and younger daughter. ****** \ MAY HEAD CHINESE REPUBLIC Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the Chinese re former, who was banished from tbs empire not long ago and is now In the United States, is believed to be slated for the presidency of the re publican government when the Chi nese revolutionists can take time enough from fighting to organize. There is said to be a standing offer from the Pekin government of $50,000 for the body of Sun Yat Sen, dead or alive. Each succeeding day has added to the gravity of the situation in China. The imperial government, having dis covered that the usual methods used in Uprisings throughout the empire are entirely Inadequate in this case, has gotten down to the business of real warfare. But the misjudgment of the situation, and the consequent delay in real repressive measures, have giv en the revolutionists an opportunity to become better organized, draw greater forces to its standard and ;seize more territory. Yuan Shi Kai. the banished war head who was recalled recently, has ac cepted the post of viceroy of Hu-Peh and Hu-Nan provinces, to which terri tory he is directed to proceed aDd immediately re-establish the Imperial au thority. Simultaneously with bis acceptance the Chinese government is show. 4ng remarkable activity, even in the face of a depleted treasury. The gov ernment seems to realize at last the necessity of crushing the rebellion ipromptly, and Is dispatching the array to the scene of revolt as hastily as (Preparations can be made. • ••••• HARVESTER HEAD IS SUED ~ Clarence S.

MADE CONVERT OF OLD SILAS Member of School Board May Have Had Deep Thoughts, but Anyway He Was Satisfied. The athletic young woman who J taught the district school was on trial i for soundly thrashing seven unruly i boys. “You—you think you can control j the situation, do—do you?" inquired | the president of the school board, who ; stuttered. “I can,” replied the young woman j with considerable decision. “Well, I don't know about this,” ; grinned Silas Weatherwax. “If any j boy needs a lickin' 1 can give it to him myself. 1 don’t believe in mis ' eellaneous lickin’s.” The teacher smiled. "Neither do I," she said. “If thrash ings are to be administered I think it ! much better for one person to admin i ister them. And after I have cleaned ■ up the school I may decide to go out and clean up the township.” A moment later when a vote of con fidence in the teacner was called for, , the “aye" of Silas Weatherwax was 1 the loudest of all. _ Most Fickle Man.

He i was much concerned about a man named John, who was now for him. then against him, and always change able. “What’s the matter with John?” the colonel asked one of his constituents “Aw. you can't tell nothin’ about John, colonel," was the assurance. “He is the most fickle man you ever see. Why, he has had religion so many times, and been baptized in the creek down here so often that the bullfrogs know him every time he's ’mersed." Test of Real Greatness.
