UOW IS BEST TIME TO BUILD Plan Described Here Has Been Tested Under Rigid Conditions and Has Proved to Be One of Best Designs Known. Mr 'William A. Radford will answer i questions and give advice FREE OF ' COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor Author and Manufacturer, he >s, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A. Rad ford, No. 3827 Prairie avenue, Chicago. 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Nearly every winter there are a large number of farmers and stock men who become convinced that the profitable raising of swine requires a well designed and carefully construct ed winter hog house. The spring fol lowing a hard winter finds these men ! planning for the construction of such a building, which they erect during the warm weather in readiness for the i next winter. Fall pigs must be carried through the winter to get the money value out of them. A few pigs may be left to root around the straw stacks, but rais ing good hogs to make money requires careful planning to breed two litters a year, at tbe right time to fit in with ' the seasons. The breeding plan on most well-con ducted stock farms divides the farrow ing between April for spring pigs, and October for winter pigs. October far I--- — circulation of air. Strong gates with sliding bolt locks are placed at the corner of each pen next to the central passage. The remainder of the front ! of each pen is taken up with the trough, above which a swinging gate is hinged to swing into the pen. a slid ing rod stop being dropped down against the inside edge of the trough to hold the gate open while the trough is being filled. The same slide rod locks the gate shut when it is dropped down against the outside edge of the trough. This building is framed in a simple yet rigid manner. The roof is sup I«orted by the two outside walls and by two inside bents which define the central passage. The extension of one of these bents forms the wail in which the pivoted windows are framed. A vertical post is set at the inner corners of each pen. The plate surmounting these posts supports the rafters. Lat eral bracing is spiked to the posts and to the outer wall studs and also to the two rows of posts immediately beneath the plate below the pivoted windows. The foundation under the two rows of posts is not continuous, but consists of a concrete pier carried down to a solid footing under each of the jiosts. These piers are placed at the time of building the floor. One very good method consists in embedding metal sockets of suitable size in the soft concrete above the piers in the exact location of the posts which will then be held firmly in place in the finished building. The floor plan illustration also pre sents a suggestion for the fencing and oi>en pens which might be used in connection with this building. The open pens are formed between the south side of the building and the main inclosing fence, which is 11 feet from the building on this side. Mov able fences are set up to divide ofE the pens. On the opposite side of the building the inclosing fence is built close to the wall to form a runway, near the center of which it is intend ed that a dipping vat be constructed. This illustration also shows a feed and litter track installation. The track is continuous through the building and out at each end. across the indosure " 1 rowing gets young pigs along to the shoat age during the* early part of the winter. Just when they should be growing their best is when the ex tremely cold weather is coming on and a good house is necessary to induce them to make proper gains in weight. With a well designed and carefully built house, any farmer can raise pure bred stock and sell the best animals at high prices. Hogs for fattening should be made to weigh from 180 to 200 pounds when they are eight months old. This is generally the most prof itable age and weight and it is the age and weight wanted by the pack ers. In order to attain this standard, each pig must gain nearly a pound per day from birth to market time. This is a very profitable average gain for the hogs to make and it is reasonable to expect such a gain when well-bred hogs are well fed and properly cared for in every way. In the accompanying plan it will be noticed that the pens are small. In practice it has been found better not to nest more than five or six pigs to gether. They are better in small lots, even if the pens are made quite small. When a house is narrow and built with a double set of windows, it is Floor Plan. easier to get the sun into every part of the house than it is when the house is wider. The length, of course, makes no difference in this respect. The foundation of the building is concrete and a concrete floor is spread over the entire surface with proper gutters formed along the length of the building on each side of the central passage. Troughs shown on the plan may also be built of concrete, the forms required for their construction being exceedingly simple. A concrete floor in a hoghouse is almost an abso lute necessity, but it is too cold for hogs to sleep on. For this reason, the nests are placed on loose, wooden floors which may be moved about for cleaning. These floors are about half j the size of the pens. There should be a ridge around the edge of each floor to hold the bedding. The upper windows are pivoted so any number of them may be pulled open for ventilation. With five shoats in each pen, the house will be warm enough to have some of the windows | open most of the time. Of course, | hogs need ventilation just as much as any other animal in order that they may maintain their good health. The pens are divided with solidly constructed fencing, space between boards being sufficient to allow a free to the gates in line with the end doors of the building. There are hundreds of farms where larger animals wearing thick hairy coats are carefully housed through the winter, while the hogs with practically no hair to protect them, are left with only a loose board roof over them. There are farmers who seem to be lieve that a hog is tough and that a certain amount of abuse is good for them. Hogs are the most abused of all domestic animals and yet they are the most profitable when handled in telligently. IS THE PRESIDENTS' CHURCH Many Prominent Men Have Worshiped at St. John's in National Capital. Historic St. John's Protestant Epis copal church, just across Lafayette square from the White House, in which more presidonts and men prom inent in Washington official life have worshiped than in any other church in the national capital, has celebrated its centennial anniversary. The pres ent rector is Rev. Roland Cotton Smith. St. John's was the first building to be erected on Lafayette square after the AA'hite House, which was compu ted in 1800. the Christian Herald observes. The presidents of the United States who worshiped here were John Quincy Adams. Madison. Monroe. A'an Buren, AA'illiam Henry Harrison. Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore and Arthur, and in more re cent times the AA’hite House was repre sented by Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft, who made St. John’s church their church home. tinier prominent people were regu larly seen in the congregation, includ ing Stephen Decatur. Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, Chief Justice Fuller, Salmon P. Chase. Benjamin F. Butler. Lewis Cass. George Bancroft. Winfield Scott and George Dewey. Its rectors officiated at nearly all of the early White House weddings, many notable ones having taken place within its sacred walls. The denominatiens have been pretty well represented in the presidency. Grant attended the Metropolitan Meth odist church, McKinley the Foundry Methodist church; Benjamin Harrison and Cleveland attended the Presby terian church; Wilson is a Presby terian and. like Cleveland, the son of a Presbyterian minister; Garfield was r member of the Disciples’ church and Roosevelt attended the Dutch Re formed church. Large Families for the Poor. Dr. G. W. Kosmak of New York op posing family limitation ideas, is quoted as saying that “the jKior must have large families to recruit the up per classes and to furnish men aad women to do the rough and unpleas | unt work of the world.” In his opin ion. quantity as well as quality la | needed in the production of children. HOME-PLANNING IN COUNTRY j Whole Farm Layout Should Be Sketched and Studied Before Any Buildings Are Erected. Put the house, if possible, on an emi nence. or rise, facing east or south, with a gentle slope away from the front. Don’t build too near the road. I nor yet too far back—150 to 250 feet will generally be about right. Don’t, don't ever put the barn and lot buildings in front of the house. The only logical place for these is in the rear and hidden. If practicable, by trees, vines and shrubbery, j Before building, give study and time to planning the whole farm lay- 1 out, Progressive Farmer advises. Doing this may save many later re- j cr< ts. Take paper and pencil, and, j with the aid of the family, sketch the grounds as they should be when the j hu'kling and planting scheme is com pleted. It may and probably will be i years before all derails of building ail planting are completed, but then | there will be a harmonious, pleasing whole. Aim at an -deal and come as near reaching it as possible. As never before, eonvenience and j sir-:>le dignity are the aims of house bu'uling. A compact, well-arranged plan saves steps for the housewife and like vise building materials. Pi.* in plumbing and wiring as the bous • is built. Every live, hustling j farm r these days should aim at noth- j ing less than waterworks, a sewage 1 disposal system and electric lights, or at least an acetylene lighting system. Make the farm home fit its surround ings ; the country is no place for osten tatious show. Multitudes of gables, hay windows a*** vivid-tinted paints jar especially in country houses, be cause they give an air of artificiality among nature’s harmonies of coloring. Have an open grass lawn. How ever well designed and built a house may he. if it has no green lawn in front it is incomplete. Make the lawn open and free from shrubs or flowers except at the borders. Frame the whole picture with flow ering shrubs and trees. Directly in front of and near the house is no place for trees, however beautiful they may be; rather place them at the side and toward the back, bordering them with flowering shrubs like the crape myrtle, and these, in turn, with banks of the easily grown flowering annuals like zinnias and salvia. Put vines, preferably a hardy ever P'een like the English ivy. over un sightly fences, stumps and walls. Make stately, cool avenues of the hot. dusty lanes by bordering them with pecan trees. “Weekly Payments” for Wives. Generally speaking, says a writer in the Wide World Magazine, a Soudan ese is content with one wife, but the marriage laws vary considerably among ' different tribes, though all have much in common. A man buys his wife, or nither gives the value agreed upon— cash in prosperous towns like Omdur nan. and cattle and grain in the coun try. Half of the amount is usually hand ed over to the bride’s people before marriage, and Is spent on wedding fes tivities; the remainder is paid by in stallments. You get your wife, in short, an the hire-purchase system; the mot to of Soudanese fathers-in-law, where eligible daughters are concerned, is evi dently “Weekly payments taken.” The price of a wife varies considerably. In Omdurman, where the natives are well to-do, a wife costs from >75 to $150. or even more. There is no restriction up on the number of wives a man may have; a wife is regarded as so much personal property, and valued accord ingly. Lessons Learned in Sleep. Lessons have been learned and diffi cult problems solved while in sound slumber. A young girl, through the death of her father, was told that she must leave school unless she passed an ex amination which would entitled her to a scholarship. She studied assiduous ly. and on one occasion carried her school books to her bedroom, intending to rise early the next day for the pur pose of study. In the morning, on looking over her lessons, she was sur prised to find that she already knew them. This happened for several suc ceeding days, whfn she mentioned the circumstances to her mother, who de termined to watch her. This she did. and observed the girl get up as soon as it was light, apply herself to her lessons, and then return to bed. When awake she had no idea of what she > had done. —— Dishes From the Indians. The early American colonists adopt- j ed certain dishes from the Indians, among them samp, which is coming into popularity once again today. Roger Williams is credited with having de scribed this as “Indian corn beaten and bolted and eaten hot or cold with milk or butter.” “Hominy” was the term applied to maize boiled with alkali, which removed the outer skin of the grain, leaving the inner part soft and good to eat. “Hoe cake," popular with the negroes of the South, is said to have been adopted from the Indians who once inhabited that section of the United States. Not Qualified. “See here, you little ruftian. I'll teach you to throw stones at my chickens.” shouted the angry matron to the hoy next door. “Well, if you want to teach me the same method you use when you throw them at my cat I'll go elsewhere for Instruction.” snickered the little ruf fian. whose father was a college pro fessor. Not Womanlike. “Po you see si face in the moon, i dear?” said the sweet young thing. “Yes,” lie replied. “Poes it seem like a man or a worn- : an?" “Like a man. dear. It's altogether too still to he Tike a woman.” Sassafras Tea. Tea made from sassafras root, once so common a beverage under the name of “saloop.” is still used to some ex- j tent in parts of the I'nitsd States, ' both in the home and <• :i ncr.ially. -- Trapshooters In United States.

A Cincinnati man discov ered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bot tle of freezone. like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops di rectly upon a tender corn or cnllus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose tha* you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonderful. It dries instantly. It doesn’t eat away the corn or cal lus. but shrivels it up with out even irritating the sur rounding skin. Hard, soft or corns be tween the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain lie fore oi afterwards. If your druggist hasn't fret-zone, tell him to order a small bottle for you from his whole sale drug house.—adv. Gas From Old Rail Ties.
