CAMPBELI., H ; BUILER ' PA ' ® PASTURING PIGS. Portablr SlrrpinK Houses. Feed HOOHF and Other Appliances. Bacon production seems to be look ing up in this country. Canada Is sup posed to have this business reduced to a science. Pasturing flays an im portant part in Canadian herd manage ment. and where pigs are pastured ex tensively proper preparation is made. In the first place, pig proof fences must surround the whole pasture area. Probably the cheapest fence for this purpose will l>e found to be woven wire. A board fence is very effective, I " | TWO STYLES OF I'tO ll< >CBE. but lacks durability and is expensive. Barb wire fencing can hardly be made to turn small pigs. A good*plan is to have a woven wire fer.ee two or three feet high and two or three strands of barbed wire above the same to turn the larger pigs. In addition, some portable fencing should be on hand for dividing the larg' fields Into plots. Wooden hurdles may be used anil are fairly economical. Wooden framed wire netting hurdles are also very ef fective. Woven wire stretched tightly on very firmly set posts, one at each end of the proposed division line, with stakes at intervals, is probably as cheap and easily handled a movable fence as any. (See illustration.) Portable sleeping houses tliat may be easily moved from one plot to another are necessary and may lie constructed at small expense. A pood size is eight feet square or eight feet long by six feet wide. The side sills should be of good stout senntiing six inches by four Inches and the floor of two Inch plauk nailed thereto. The upper part may have two forms— that is. the roof part may come right down to the sills (see cut i or may rest on side walls about two or two and a half feet high. For sows with young the sort of roof where the roof starts at the sill Is somewhat to l>e preferred. Where the pastures are any consider able distance from the feed room It will frequently be found advisable to have a portable feed cabin on wheels PORTABLE FEED HOUSE AND BARREL. or runners. Where it is not desired to go to such an expense as building a portable feed cabin a barrel on wheels may be fixed up quite cheaply. (See cut for both of these.; For outdoor feeding a trough four feet long is excellent and will allow six pigs to eat In comfort, three on each side. For such a four foot trough kecure— Oue two-inch plauk ono foot wide, four feet long. Two two-Inch planks six inches wide, four feet four Inches long. Two two-inch planks one foot wide, twenty inches long. Three one-Inch boards six Inches wide, four feet long. The largest plank will constitute the bottom, the two short planks the ends and the two long narrow planks the sides of a flat bottomed trough. Two of the six Inch wide boards should bo nailed l>etween the end pieces near the top in such a way as to make a V shaped trough, save that they should not come together at the bottom by about three inches. Tho other one Inch board should be nailed ouo edge up In a vortical position betweeu the two end--. The upper edge should be about one Inch below the open bottom of the false V shaped trough and the lower else about four Inches from the bot tom of the trough. The purpose of the false upper trough Is to allow the feed er to pour the feed into the trough, even though the pigs are struggling to get at the food. Such a trough is easily kept clean, easily filled In spite of crowding pigs, strong and durable. Locnat For l'oita. For posts locust trees are grown along avenues and highways, where 1 hey answer the triple purpose of post growing, shade and ornament; also In pastures, where they thrive while In terfering but little with grass produc tion. The borer is the great drawback to the locust, and it gives great trouble in Pennsylvania and much of the mid dle west. Cucumber* For Plpkllng. Not infrequently the cucumber beetle ruin; the prospects for plcklcs. August is not too late for planting again if pickles are desired. Tho vines may need a little protection from one or fwo early frosts In soma locall ties, but usually there Is a good, long growing season in the fall.—American Agriculturist ASPARAGUS RUST. Bulpbur Trmlment Han Proved Fnc reaMful In Callfornlo. For a number of years a serious dis ease, a kind of rust, has been spread ing throughout the asparagus growing districts, which appears to be reduc ing production to a marked extent and in some places hns destroyed plan tations to a degree. The rust does not appear on the as paragus cut for canning or for market, find the crop is only injured indirectly through the weakened condition of tire foots and crowns. How Sulphur la I'trd. IC. A- Smith of the California sta tion has for a number of years been carrying on experiments to test vari ous means for the control of this dis ease, and he reports success with tho use of dry sulphur thoroughly dusted over the plauts. The best form of sulphur to be used Is the flowers of sulphur, wnich is the finest grade ob tainable. It should be thoroughly dust ed over the plants in advance of the appearance of the summer stage of i'liflt end one or two applications given taut diifing the season. To make the sulphur inure adherent >« spraying with whale oi| soap and water Is recommended to precede the powder. The sulphur should be ap plied at the rate of about. 150 pounds per acre for each application. The cost of the sulphur and Its application was about s<; per acre for two applications In California. This treatment has proved very successful in California hud is repotted upon favorably by a large grower in South « 'a roll nr.. Jt Ht pssentlal to begin the treatment early, probably within three weeks of the be ginning syinuier growth, and to keep the sulphur showing wel) upon the plants throughout the season. Clover Root Borer. The clover root borer Is a small j brown Insect whose young is a white ! grub with brown head und jaws. As a rule, clover infested with this pest l>e- i gins to die in spots over the tield in , late July or August. Ordinarily, if this | Injury is noted l>y the farmer It is at tributed to the effect of dry weather, and the further destruction that mar not become more obvious until the fol lowing spring Is charged up to the ef fect of winter. Now the young of the borer are footless grubs without eyes, and living roots are with them essential to life. Let the roots wither or die while the grubs are still young and they must perish. If while the insects are In this helpless stage, which continues some time after the hay crop has been removed, the land is broken and the clover roots thrown up to the action of sun and wind these will wither and dry i out, thus destroying the insects infest- ! ing them. While this does not save the i clover, it destroys the pest so that It J does not develop and make its way to other fields. The VillaKe Ratchcr. The village butcher's possible rehabll- j ltatlon may be one factor in an in crease of the farmer's receipts for his ] products. While the large cities are making an appeal for home dressed i meats, the consumer there cannot so certain of getting what he asks for i as can the resident of the village and i of the smaller cities and towns, where, witl* populations of 5,000 to 10.00") or 12,000, nearly every one "knows his butcher" and can more nearly depend on home killed products, so that the supply will be fairly represented by the demand, and such butchers will, as a general rule, offer a more ready market at higher prices for nearby live stock of all kinds. This may be better for the local butcher or may not. Ilowe'-er. the natural deduction Is that it would be better for tlie farm er contingent to such markets.—Rural Magazine. Cement Work. It seems that the foundation has much to do witli the success of cement work, according to the Cement Era; for stable floors or clay or loam one should proceed as follows: Excavate sis to eight inches for foundations, till In with cinders, crushed stone or sand; spread !u three inch layers and tramp well. Foundations should be well flooded and allowed to stand for a week or more in order to become thoroughly compacted; imooth off to a level surface.

It is astonishing how groat a change a few years of married life often make In j the appearance and disposition of raanv women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this chango. ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to tho system through the cliijjjge whjch epmes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not und»rst.mdin£ that this secret drain is robbing the chqek of its freshness and the form of Its fairness. As surely as the general health suffers when there i< derangement of the health of the delicate womanly organs, so surely when these organs are established in health tho face and form at once witness to the fact in renewed comeliness.
