No longer will hotel clerks have to "page” the corridors, lobbies nnd bars when a visitor asks for a guest who cannot bo found in his room. Popular Science Magazine says. It will only be necessary to take the hey which Mr. Jones has left at the desk, and af ter a glance say. "Mr. Jones may be found in the grillroom.” The labor-saving device which will make this possible is a novel key tag which has recently been patented by a Chicago inventor. The tag, on which the number of the room ir stamped, is O'-al, and is imprinted with a clock face. By means of a pin in the center of the tag the key may be fastened so that it will act as the clock hand, indicating the approximat r time when the user expects to return. On the outer edge of the tag is a series of small holes. Near thcLe are stamped the names of the various public rooms of the hotel. Another pin is attached to the tag by means of a light cord or chain, nnd this may be placed in any of the holes, indicating the place where he may bj found.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kid ney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis sues clog and thus the waste Is re tained in the blood to poison the en tire system.

A countryman while walking along a street saw a sign: “Please ring the bell for the caretaker." After reflecting a few minutes, he walked up and pulled the bell. After waiting a wl ile an angry faced man appeared. “Are you the caretaker?” asked the bell-puller. "Yes; what do you want?" “I saw that notice, so 1 rang the bell, and now I want to know why you can't ring it yourself?" Women Showed Their Skill. The skill with which women can do even the heavy work on a farm was shown in a recent plowing match at Aspull, Preston. Lancashire, England. The wife of a farmer and her twenty one-year-old servant managed to beat all but one man competitor. The woman had only practiced plowing a week before the match. It is said that the night before the match some person had removed the shares and points of all the competitors’ plows, rendering them useless. The women went round the district in the morn ing. borrowed rusty shares and fit tings. and got them ready for the match. vp For v Growing Children L there is no better food than r Grape-Nuts with cream or good milk. • Many diseases of childhood and youth are due to a faulty diet—a diet that restricts the amount of needed mineral salts, the lack if which, as your family physi- /jB cian can tell you, often leads to rickets and other diseases of mal-nutrition.

Most good hog raisers who have warm buildings try to have their sows commence farrowing about March 1, but without good houses this is im practicable. Breeders find it neces sary to have their pigs come about this time in order to have them large enough for the fall demand, and pro ducers of market hogs find the prac tice profitable. Early pigs have sev eral marked advantages. In the first place, there is usually more time to ——_ Portable Hog House, Showing Ventila tor Over Entrance. care for them early in March. Early March pigs are large enough to begin to eat as soon as pasture is ready and thus get the longest possible pasture season, and can be expected to make more pork from grass than is possible for later pigs. They can be kept on pasture until ready for market, or nearly so. Not only can they make more use of pasture but they can make more economical use of all feed because they can be finished for mar ket before the cold weather of winter sets in when grains are more expen sive. If these pigs are crowded, many of them can be marketed by the first of October. Without a good house two litters a year cannot be raised to advantage, because the spring pigs must be put off until so late that the fall litters do not get well started be fore cold weather, but with a good house two litters can well be raised. Most farmers do not feel that they can keep an old sow for one litter, but with two litters it becomes a dif ferent proposition. It is universally conceded that old sows raise better pigs than young ones, and the keep ing of old sows enables one to select and keep only the best producers. A little pig loves sunshine and needs it almost as much as he needs food. No piggery is fit for the pur pose unless it admits direct sunshine onto the floor of every pen at the time the pigs are farrowed, furnishes plenty of fresh air, and provides for exercise in the open air. Dryness, sunshine, warmth, fresh air, freedom from drafts, and exercise are of pri mary importance in raising pigs. These secured, the battle is half won. In putting up buildings the six re quirements just mentioned must be kept constantly in mind; not one can be neglc-cted. The writer knows of one farmer who has a spendid farm with a fine house on it and a large, modern horse barn. His hog shed is 24 feet wide and 84 feet long, and there is not a single window or ventilator in it. The only A A “A” Shaped Portable Hog House— End Elevation. means of admitting air and light are the alley doors and a few small hog doors. The writer has personal knowledge of another hog house quite similar to this but only about half as large, the only openings being one alley door, one hog door, and one small window. In this house over 90 per cent of the early pigs were lost in seme seasons, mostly from thumps. The loss in a single season would have more than paid for a good building. The owner of a new hog house once showed it to the writer with consider able pride. The building was equipped with conveniences of the best sort and appeared to be ideal in every respect except one—cost. It contained 18 pens besides the feed bins, and cost, according to the contractor, ap proximately $4,000, or $222 a pen. The interest on this investment at five per cent amounts to $11.10 for every sow pen, and the annual cost of each pen, including interest, depreciation, repairs, and insurance, would be about $27, which is amply sufficient to pay for a good pen outright. It is hard to see how such a building can evei pay for itself. A large house should always stand east and west, facing the south, sc that the maximum amount of sunshine may be had in each pen. When a double house is used, the outside pens on the north are often of little use in early spring and late fall on ac count of the shade and the cold winds This difficulty can be partially over come, however, by changing sows so that those which have not farrowed and those with the oldest pigs, which have least need of the warm pens, are on the north side. In the majority of large hog houses the upper windows are not so placed that the sunshine will strike the floor when i* is most needed there. In deed, a ^*g house with the -windows in the proper position is rarely seen. Direct sunshine should strike the floor in every pen for as many hours in the day as possible at the t'me when the pigs are farrowed. Nearly everyone realises this is a matter of the great est importance, but too often the build er does not take the trout le to find out whether he is getting it or not. Ordinarily the farmer has no means of ascertaining where to put the win dows so as to get the maximum amount of sunshine at the time he wants it, unless he happens to be building just at that time, which is very unusual. The country is dotted with hog houses in which the owner Plan of Construction of Pcrtable Hog House. thought he wanted them, but found later they were in the wrong place. In double houses the windows for lighting the south pens must be as high up as possible in order to get them away from the hogs. GRAIN AND ALFALFA HAY FOR THE LAMBS Grinding Not Profitable Under Present Conditions, Accord ing to Nebraska Station. Experiments conducted at the Ne braska Experiment station during the last winter indicate that the grinding of grain and alfalfa hay for lambs is not profitable under present condi tions. While lambs fed a mixture cf ground corn and ground alfalfa went on full feed quickly, cleaned up their feed each meal, and remained thrifty and vigorous throughout the entire feeding experiment, their increased weight was put on at a cost consid erably higher than that of lambs fed shelled corn end whole alfalfa hay. The difference amounted to practically $1 on each 100 pounds gain. The same striking difference was notice able in comparing lambs fed on ground corn, ground alfalfa, and corn silage and those fed shelled corn, whole al falfa, and corn silage. GREAT AIM OF BEEF AND PORK PRODUCER Set All Gain on the Calves and Pigs During Early Months of Their Lives. The aim of the beef and pork pro ducer should be to set all the gain on the calves and pigs possible during the early mcnths of their lives. Calves make much cheaper gains up to ten mcnths old and pigs up to six mcnths cld than they do after these periods. Tt is not uncommon now to see well finished baby beef steers on the mar ket at the age of twelve to fifteen months and occasionally some come in at less age tha; that; while the bulk of the hogs now come to the mar ket in well finished condition at eight mcnths old weighing around 225 j pounds. Plan for Legume Crop. Don’t forget to plan fcr some Can ada field peas or other valuable le gumes. If you have had no experi ence with these, a few trials will soon show how you can best handle these “soil builders." Stick to Money-Makers. How many of us are now lamenting because we had no hogs to sell? May be we will know enough to stick to the prime money-makers through thick and thin hereafter. Disinfect Colt’s Quarters.

Efficient Work Horses. Remember that horses in the han ness need proper feed and care to pen form their work efficiently; a little extra time in feeding and grooming ■ time well spent HIGH PBICE5 GOOD CHOPS And Good Demand for All Farm Products. It is no new experience for settlers located in a fertile country such as Western Canada, where lands may be bought at very reasonable prices, to harvest a crop that in one season pays the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt edly this was the experience of many farmers during 1915, but one instance may be quoted. A settler who came to Canada from the United States some years ago decided to add to his holdings by buying an adjoining quar ter section near his home at Warner, at $20.00 an acre, with terms spread over a period of years. He got the land into a good state of cultivation and last spring put the whole quarter section in wheat. When the crop was threshed he found that it only took half the wheat on the farm to pay the whole purchase price of it; in short a single year’s crop paid the cost of the land, paid all the expenses of op eration and left him a handsome sur plus as profit. This settler had some adjoining land, and his whole wheat crop for the season amounted to over 18,000 bushels. He is now plan ning to obtain some sheep and invest his profits in live stock which will as sure him a good living irrespective of what the season may happen to be. Canada's financial position is ex cellent. All speculation has been elim inated, and trading is done on a cash basis, with restricted credit. Detailed figures of Canada’s trade for twelve months ending October 31 show how the war is forcing Canadian trade into new channels. One of the most extraordinary changes is in com merce with the United States. A couple of years ago Canada imported from the United States two or three hundred million dollars’ worth of goods more than she exported. The balance of trade was all with the United States. The balance is rapid ly disappearing, and the present out look is that by the end of this year Canada will have exported to the United States more than she has im ported. The figures for the past four years are illuminating. They are as fol lows; Exports.

The figures are extraordinary and reflect the changed and new conditions in Canada. It looks as if for the first time in nearly half a century this year Canada will sell more to the United States than she will buy from the Americans.— Advertisement.
