Building Here Illustrated Has All
Modern Equipment for Insuring
Little Pigs and Mothers Plenty
of Air and Sunshine.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
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 is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A. Rad
ford. No. ISl’T Prairie avenue, Chicago,
111., and only Inclose two-cent stamp for
reply.
Hug raisers are in the same position
I ns every other manufacturer of food
| stuffs—to earn a profit they must
] raise more hogs at the least possible
cost.
The shortest cut to profitable hog
raising is to feed the little pigs and
| their mothers plenty of sunshine—and
I sunshine doesn't cost a cent—nature
provides it freely, more freely at some
j times than at others, hut no matter
how great or small is the supply, it
is free.
Sunshine keeps little pigs from con
j trading disease; it keeps their pens
, free from disease germs, and from
| cold and damp which arc two deadly
j enemies of the animals in their in
j fancy. By admitting plenty of sun
shine into their living quarters, a
greater proportion of each litter will
live to become sacrifices to the need
for ham and bacon, to say nothing of
pork chops.
of course, the easiest way to bring
—
stock has decreased less than any oth
er farm product. While feed is cheap,
hogs are bringing a good price, com
paratively, and hog raisers are much
encouraged over the prospects. How
ever, greater production at a less pro
portionate cost means profit for .the
farmer who markets his corn on the
hoof.
I Hiring the last few months build
ing costs, or, rather, the cost of build
ing materials has been reduced more
than 25 per cent. Lumber dealers
everywhere have revised their price
lists downward, and farmers who have
put off building for tills reason can
now go ahead with a reasonable as
surance that they will he getting their
buildings at a cost that has little
chance of being much lower for sev
eral years to come.
How much this building will cost
can be easily ascertained by consult
ing with the local lumber and build
ing material dealer and the contrac
tor. If it is decided to go ahead with
construction work, it is the best policy
to build front plans, ns with the plans
before him the contractor lias no ex
euse for mistakes.
Building this year will be heavy, as
buildings are needed, both in the larg
er cities, tlie rural communities and
on tile farms. Those who take ad
vantage of tlie spring season to get
needed buildings erected, will be in a
position to properly bouse their live
stock and crops next full.
CLASSED A3 DEADLY POISON
Weed Known Generally as "Poison
Ivy" Has Been Under Investigation
by Government Chemists.
Boison ivy has been under investiga
tion by tlie United States bureau of
chemistry and it is declared to lie
one of tlie most powerful poisons in
tlie vegetable world. People have
been known to die from too liberal a
con act with it.
Poison is present in all parts of the
plant, and if taken internally is ex
tremely dangerous. It is described as
a violent irritant poison—an oily sub
stance. the slightest trace of which on
tlie skin will Jiroduee severe intiamma
tin' little pigs mill the sunlight into
contact is to allow them to run out
doors. But in the late winter and
early spring, when a great majority
of pigs are bom. it is too cold for
| them. They must he housed in butld
j ings that will protect them from cold
and drafts, hut the building must lie
so constructed that there will be an
abundance of sunshine in their living
quarters.
This need of young pigs lias been
i thoroughly recognized by modern farm
building architects, and they have de
signed buildings that will keep the
pigs and their mothers warm, allow
them plenty of fresh air without
drafts, and at the same time admit the
life and health-giving sunlight.
How this is accomplished is shown
by the building in the accompanying
illustration. This frame structure. 24
feet wide and TO feet long, will house
20 sows and their young. It is set on
a concrete foundation and has a con
crete floor. The floor enables the
farmer to keep the house clean and
sanitary. One half of the pen floors,
that half that is next the outside
walls of the building, is covered with
planks, raised itn inch or so from the
concrete. This permits a circulation
of air underneath the planks, on
which the bedding is placed, and pre
vents the pigs from coming in contact
with the cold, damp concrete.
But the most essential feature of
this building is the windows in the
walls and roof. These windows are
so located that every bit of sunlight
available in February and March has
access to the pens, killing the disease i
germs that thrive in the dark and
damp, and wanning the interior of the
house. Later in the spring, the win
dows provide means for greater ven
tilation of the house.
The pen partitions may be either of
wood or metal, the latter being pre
ferred, as it is more sanitary. There
is less chance for dirt to adhere to it
than to wood; also it is more easily
cleaned. Through tiie center of (lie
building is the feeding alley, sufficient
ly wide for a wagon to lie driven
through for either distribution of feed
or removal of litter. Sunk into the
concrete floor is a gutter, which may
he hosed out, and raised above it are
the feeding troughs in front of each
pen.
Records'show that the price of live
tinn. persons me 11*<»i,e* seusi
live to it than others. Inn nobody is
immune.
Ivy poisoning may be contracted by
•ouching slincs or clothing that lias
been in contact with the pisnt. Dogs
or oilier animals may in like manner
convey^ it. Even lire does not destroy
the poison.
Specimens brought inside the house
will poison the whole family anti if,
when the character of the plant is dis
covered, it is thrown in the lire the re
sults are worse, for the smoke will
carry the poison throughout the
house.
Effective War on Peach-Borer.
The novel method of destroying the
peach-borer developed by the United
States bureau of entomology consists
in spreading an ounce of two of para
dichlorolienzeiie around the tree un
der a light layer of soil. A rise of
temperature front 75 degrees' to SO de
gives Fahrenheit volatilizes the crys
tals, and the heavy poison gas gener
ated penetrates the soil, killing all
borers near. The chemical is not ex
pensive, while the labor is slight com
pared with digging tile larvae from the
tree base with a ki^fe.
Can-Opener Civilization.
These condensed homes are all the
rage with those couples who cannot
well withstand the shock of paying a
hundred a, me ntli for a regular flat. A
nook no bigger than a flog house with
a kitchenette about the size of a mouse
trap is all that some loving pairs re
quire to embark upon the great ad
venture. The lover’s Omar now
reads: “A can opener, a folding lied
and thou; our paradise begins right
here and now.” Thou and the disap
pearing bed can start anything—even
a society drama.—Los Angeles Times.
Science and Poetry.
The Arabians are using the theme
of the X-ray in their love poems. A1
Itusafl, a modern poet of Bagdad, now
living in Constantinople, gives expres
sion to the following sentiment in one
of his recent lyrics: ‘‘Take from the
light Koentgen’s rays, by which the in
visible becomes visible, throw the rays
upon my heart and behold! Thou wilt
find that my heart is pocked with
wounds itecause of thee.” The case
is said to be by no means isolated.
WXNTHKOP’S new factory
j The contract of building the new oil
1 cloth factory for C. M. Bailey’s Sons &
Company of this village, has been award
ed to the Horace Purinton company of
Waterville. The plant will be worth
about $300,000. The construction work
' has been started and will take several
months the factory being ready for use
! about the first of next September.
The factory will be a series of buildings
345 feet long and 100 feet wide and three
stories high. About 50 hands will be em
ployed there and the output of the ma
terial will he increased about 50 per cent,
over the mill which burned several weeks
ago in Winthrop Center.

Because you save in using it much more than you pay to buy it. It’s the height of
extravagance to keep an old, burned out troublesome range when a modern Glen
wood would save from 100 to 500 lbs. of coal in every ton. Just figure the saving
in dollars for one year, and then for five or ten years, and you will quickly see why
it will pay now as never before to trade your old stove for the newest Glenwood.
This Glenwood is shown In

so neat and attractive. By
simply passing a damp
cloth over the surface you
are able to clean your
range instantly. No more
