2. Dryness and good vintilatien.
Th•dso must ,be obteined in emene way.
Possibly no farm ,building is more dif-
ficult to ventilate than a piggery, and
no animal requires fresh day air and
quarters more than a hog.
The man who keeps two or three
sows needs few, if any, special build-
hig,s. His sows are wintered In low,
straw -covered ;sheds or shelters ad-
jacent to the barnyard. They sum-
mer on pasture with a •eheap lean-to
or cabin for shelter. Wu Main re-
quisites are automatically acquired:
fresh air and dry quarters and exer-
cise. At farrowing time a box stall
es usually available. If the littee
comes early, such quarters usually
prove sufficiently warm for the little
pigs.These, aftet weaning, may be

seen mother put them in and then sew
up the corner of the bag. And even
though the beans Were out of sight
now, She could feel them through the
gingham, and, of course, they must
still be just as white.
One day Laura's mother was help-

Suddenly she cried: .
"0 Laura, this bean bag is getting
worn out! We'll have to make an-

"No, no!" cried Laura, shaking her
head. "I don't watt another bag,
mother; I want to keep this one!"
That very <lay the bean bag caught

that he would like to wells in the

,and .besides, it was too wasm to work

So just a week had gone by when
father said, after supper:
"Coming to help me in the garden,
Laura?"
Laura quickly found her rake and
the paper of brown seeds that father
had bought on purpose for her.
Mother came, too, and they all went
into the garden.
What do you suppose they saw
there?
"Why, what's thie?" cried father.

MY WIFE AND I WORKED OUT
OUR FINANCES TOGETHER
By Ralph Eastman
I suspect that too many iq es farm-
ers do not give oar W1VOS credit, for
knowing anything about handling
money-ex,cept to spend it. Often-
times a man will call on the phone and
want to talk to 1T1C. Yet thathe want-
ed to know eritild have been told by my
wife just as well, In fact, I doubt if
the is any businese on earth about
which a man's wife knows as much as
farming. The farin wife livee right
on the job; she has a chance to hear
what le going on, and to talk it over
three times a day. I have Maimed to
ask the woman who answers the phone
before having her call her man in
from the field, And I usually get
the information I want.
Whet my wife and I started out
on our farm -life honeymoon, after a
few days of the usual kind, I decided;
it was time to get somewhere finan-
cially. Money -or the lack of it -was
seemingly the biggest problem of Vio
eider folks I knew, The women hated
to ask for money every time they
needed it. The men usually vivo
grudgingly, or else Angel; it alto-
gether,
In our moo we had just bought
famis and were in the hole quite bit
on it. Neither of ue had any lifts

Both were able to earn a little o)8

We leave arranged our linaimes like
this: We eaeh liave st cheve book but
we only have one account, When &ore

/saw waist or shoes cost. I don't care,
awl; anyivey, 8 wouldn't knew whether
the price 'was right or wrong. I knew
what to pay for my stuff, and she
does too. That's all there is to the
money division.
But I wasn't satisfied with just
this arrangement. Supposing I died?
I carry e.nough life insuetince to cover
our indebtedeaseabut insuranee money
won't do much good if you don't know
how to use it. My wife now writes
fan= ;cheques when necessary. In
fact, if I have a few cheques to de-
posit I sometimes purposely forget
them and let her take care of them.
It took smite at while for her to get
accustomed to this sort ef work. But
it was worth the effort, Now elea can
borrow money at our honer if we need
it. I don't need to make the trip to
town to go a nate. The bank knows
she does business'as well ae I do.
This training is not hard for some
farm wives, but for many it is. It

What do you do when a child stamps
his feet and nye `I won't do it!' "
The lecturer waited. The questiotter
added nothing to her question.
"Do you call that at plain queselan?"
lue asked in an incredulous tone, as
though he could not believe his ears,
"I ceetainly do," the Said with sat-

"Well, Madame," eaid ehe leetuter,

"Well, here's 31 ease. A little thild

long, hot terilway eommey. At the end

too heavy for him. ;Perhaps you
would expect a three-year-old to say,
under such citcumetances; 'I'm sorry,
but I'm not feeling very well and it
is reaily quite beyond my strength.'
But I don't blame him a bit for stamp -

tainly he does not deeerve the same

All sets of cireennstar.cee are differaint
from all others and only then who
know all about the case have any
chance of gueseing what its the right
thing to do. You must do that nitwit
diefieuit of all things, think, and think
hard, before you know what is the
right thing to do. Just befc,re you be-
gin to think, just memember that if a
elvild stamps his foot arel Lava "I
won't," to you it is ;because you have
'brought him up wrong. When you see
a dog that habitually snarls and shows
his teeth, you do not say "What a agreeable mature that dog has." You
say, "Heavensl what a brutal an,aster
the poor creature must have had."
