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

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

How Careless.
“Say, young feller," said Broncho
Bob. “have you got a gun on you?”
“No, sir!“ replied the man with the
brand-new cowboy uniform. I was told
that it was better to be unarmed, so
as to avoid any impression that I was
seeking a quarrel."
“Well, that's a big disappointment.

LIFT OUT ANY CORN j
• Apply a few drops then lift j
| corns or calluses off with
j fingers—no pain.
Just think ! You can lift
off any corn or callus
without pain or soreness.
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.
