HOG HOUSE ADAPTED TO ALMOST EVERY CLIMATE As \nlmnls Are Quite Notably Affected by Extremes of Cold unci Heat, Character of Their Shelter Is Essential. I Elevation of Hog House. As hogs are quite notably affected by extremes of cold and heat, the character of their shelter will have much to do with their successful rearing. The above being true, we will naturally do best with hogs when we have arranged their home and feeding grounds, to a certain extent, at least, such as he would choose for himself in his wild state, writes J. E. Bridgman in American Agriculturist. Proper shelter is no doubt the first and most serious question, and while the perfect hog house has not up to date been invented, great improve ments have been made during the past few years. The accompanying illustrations show a hog house that is well adapt ed to almost every climate, except the extreme south. As shown by the floor plan, the house is 28xG2 feet square, and 10 feet to the eaves. The lower story is 7 feet, leaving ample room above for bedding and feed. The chop feed is stored in bins above and drawn through the spouts A A A. Mixing barrels or boxes are placed close to the cooker, shown at C, and the cooked or steamed feed carried to the pens in a wheeled feeder. A root «*-- ~ ' - ~ ~ 112 Ja T'J; i / d -V CCi \ ■ . /'?

FEEDING RACK FOR ALFALFA A large number of successful farm ers feed alfalfa hay on the ground, claiming that hogs are almost cer tain to pull the hay out of racks and eat it from the ground more or less anyway. In cold weather when the ground is frozen or when the yard is dry, there would seem to be no seri ous objection to feeding alfalfa in this manner. Hogs are less delicate in their choice of food than other farm animals and are inclined to eat tho hay though it has been somewhat S'llied. If, however, the ground is soft there is certain to be a consider able waste, due to tho fact that sotne ot it is trampled into the mud At the Nebraska experiment farm alfalfa hay is fed to hogs from an or dinary sheep rack, having vertical slats about three inches apart, just wide enough to permit the hogs to reach the hay. These racks stand alout four feet high and are approxi mately mree feet wide at the top and eighteen inches at the bottom. The accompanying drawing shows a very satisfactory rack made from wire fenc ing. This design was furnished by I'rcf Chase of the department of farm mechanics of the University of Ne braska. The rack has been used by several wel! l;r.own farmers in the state and all who have vied it seem well pleased, owing to the simplicity of its construction and the fact that there is little waste o" hay. It is made by using 30-inch wire fence in verted so that the larger opening. - ; wiW be at the bottom. It is desirable to use fencing mac-- of heavy wire and a stock boards. The entire floor con sists of 8 inches of cem'ent. The feed room is also used as a slaughter house. A galvanized iron vent stack is placed over the cooker to carry away the steam, and a good brick flue is built in the corner, as shown. The house is sided with drop siding, and lined on the inside with 6-inch floor ing. Each pen has a small window and one leading to the driveway, also one leading to the yards. A sliding door, shown at B, closes the driveway from the feed room. A good tight floor is laid in the loft, and a sxß open door left for passing down bed ding and for a ventilator. All hog men have their own Ideas of arranging the feed and water troughs. However, a good plan is shown in the pen marked X. A nest is built in the rear corner, a water trough placed in front, a feed trough along the side, and a 2x4 timber is then placed across the pen from the rear end of feed trough. This makes a feeding floor for ear corn, and the hogs will seldom foul this part of the floor. The house should set on a good foundation, and have a good tight roof, and the exterior-exposed woodwork should receive at least two rectangular mesh is preferred to the diamond shaped mesh. These racks are usually made about three feet wide at the top and about 12 inches wide at the bottom. They can be made of any desired length up to 16 feet, depending upon the number of hogs .u the pen. They are also light in weight and can be moved from one part ot the yard to another without diflieulty. Parasite of Poultry. The worst external parasite of poul try against which the poultryman an J farmers have to contend is the "com mon chicken mite" or "red chicken mite" (Dermanyssus gallinae, Redi.) There are other species of mites which attack poultry, but they da much less damage. This bloodthirsty pest causes great loss to the poultry of the country by killing aiuiC\fowls a i"l chicks and cutting down <«gg production. It not only at tacks poultry but horses and even man as well. Fertile Egys. Copulation does not fertilize the egg laid the same day. A study of the ovaries teaches that the egg that is laid to-day was already coated with shell at least 12 hours before being laid. That meeting, however, should fertilize a series of eggs laid after ward by the hen, although it might be several days before fertility in eggs would be found. Some authorities claim that a male actually fertilizes ten eggs at the same time CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1910 BACKACHE-A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS | A WARNING THAT MUST NOT BE IGNORED Tells A Story. * (Vnr tf&SEtk* Si l \ WVm My; in. suspect tne Kiancys 11 you arc rneumauc ana nervous or have lame back, painful, too frequent or scanty urination, vQC. weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia.
