I>«vlce shown In the Illustration,
the Idea of Charles G. Howard of

for feeding cattle and more particu

Heat-Producing Food to Sow.
Sows that are fed on corn and other
concentrated, heat-producing foods
during pregnancy are quite sure to
experience more or less difficulty at
farrowing time and we need not
blame the sow or wonder if she Is
cross and feverish and runs and
chases the pigs up in one corner of
the i>en, or even turns upon them and
devours them.

The sows should farrow In March.
The check rein Is as comfortable to
a horse as the high collar is to a work
ingman.
An excellent bedding for hogs Is
marsh hay or pulp from sugar cane
meal. This gives out very little dust.
On a farm of 100 acres or over It
pays much better to sell sheep as mut
ton Instead of stock for other people
to fatten.
A handful of oil meal given to the
horse once a day will keep him in
good condition and makes his coal soft
and sleek.
The pigs should be allowed the free
range of an alfalfa field and fed milk
and shorts and barley, or a mixture of
the three.
If you cannot afford to buy pure-bred
mares at the start, buy the best you
can. then trade and buy until you can
gel the real article.
It 1s easy to teach a suckling colt
how to drink milk, and a quart
warm cow's milk In the morning will
give It a good start.
Many mares are unable to
ot
supply
their colts with sufficient milk, Partien
larly when hard worked. In such cases
they should be helped out.
The average farmer can care for
four or five sows with very little
trouble; but keep good ones, its
scrubs are likely to lose money for
you.
Sheep will dig pretty close to the
grass roots In the early spring If you
give them a chance. They like a taste
of something fresh. If you feed them
plenty of turnips this will help to sat
isfy thalr appetites.
It Is the farmer who keeps sheep
for a number of years that flnds them
most profitable. Some years they will
return a much better profit than oth
ers and it is hard to sell and buy at
just the right time.

strips are In turn covered with metal
lath, and the lath covered with two
coals of ponland cement. All ceil
ings are treated in the same
manner,
except the sheathing is not used.
The roof is covered with the best
grade of asbestos felt roofing, which
makes It practically a fireproof barn.
The foundation is of native limestone,
for the reason that stone can be se
cured on the farm at a very slight
cost.
The silos, set on cement pits four
feet deep, are built with 2x4-lnch
studs, set 12 inches on centers; %x6
inch wooden hoops are bent around
the outside, and are doubled, one be
tween each door and one In the cen
ter of each door. The doors are 24x30
inches square, with 12-tnch spaces be
tween. The hoops are covered with
lx2-inch strips, and treated in the
same manner as the walls of the barn.
The inside walls of the silos are lined
with hard-burned paving brick laid in
a thin cement.
All floors of the barn are of cement,
with wood slats for the horses. The
horses have cast-iron gutters, but the
cows have both the gutters and the
mangers made of cement, and the
mangers so arranged that they may
be flooded with water. The floors are
all trapped with drain traps, and the
entire barn may be washed with a
hose In a short time. The horses are
watered at the cement trough located
north of the east feed room, and the
hogs and sheep are watered with a
hose. The barn loft is supported on
three-inch gas pipe, and all cow stalls
are of wood, with wire guards on top.
