These eonsiderations, -together with the possibility of saving much labor in a wellealenned house over a poorly .planned one, makes it important to give much thought end faddy to the prebletn of housing. swine. In 1918, a swine expert, through queetion,aires sent to nem whose names were obtained from county ad- visors, published a survey of one hun- dred and nenety-twe &rens in whieh he preemted a table Mowing the vari- ous causes of litter losses. The average number of brood sows in the herd % was fourteen. They far- rowed an 'average of '7.68 pigs, and weaned an average litter of 5.72 pigs. The total less was 24.95 per cent. The various eauses and the percentage of the loss due to each are given here- with: Greeted by sows 29.13 Farrowed • weak 22.34 Farrowed dead 15.88 Chilled 10.00 Eaten by sows 4.59 Aborted 4.55 Sours 3.48 Thumps 1.78 Necro.bacilloses 1.56 'Cholera 1.01 Miscellaneous 5.46 This fairvey was made on farms on which a good many hogs were raised as is seen by the size ef the breeding herd.

That this new type of' house is so warm, even in, the dead of winter, without artificial heat, is due to thili feet that 15 58 built of hol- low May tile. • The windows in, the roof atm add to the wannth of the houee amd especially to its sanitation. They admit •sen. shine, a broad ,belt of it eight led wide the full length of the 'house, which sweeps every nook end miner of every pen and gives every pig a sun bath at some time during the day. That makes for waemth, tor physical :comfort, foe germ desernetient, far health and for strength. AD these things have been secured', not at a prohibitive cost, but at a eost that is well within the readh of the substantial farmer who wants to build a hog house that vvill stand fea. twenty yeasts, or fifty Or a :hundred for that matter. The comfortable 'hog is the profit- able hog. The hog that does not 'need to store away quantities of 'surplus fat to be drawn upon, for warmth when She temperature falls below a com- fortable degree is the !hog that is es- ing all the feed it eats to build hard, high-priced pork. A hog is 'not come foetable and eontented in a dark, damp, unventilated house. A hog in such a bouse cannot return a respect- able profit to the hog man. A well- built house insures well-built bags, A poorly arranged and, improperly equipped hog lasu,se may be the muse of losing a great deal of money as long as it is used. 11; YOUR TOOL SHED 11 What have you done with you' mower, your reaper, your corn planter your disc end all the rest of the ma- chinery that you are not now wag? Hey° you got them in out of the weather and melee a tight roof ? The machinery seed Should be one of the most important buildings on the farm ? It is aeout the best money - saver a man can have among his buildings. Every farmer realizes that cold animals, as they shiver and freeze out, in the wind and the snow require enough mint feed to more title make up for the cost of a building to house them, 'but many do not realize that machinery also needs protection Be- cause it cermet feel the cold and does not huddle up and shiver when ex- posed to the weather, it is left out in the open. It is easier, perhaps, to unhitch from an implement; and leave it in the field' than it is to take it home and place it under cover. At least one would come to that conclusion from the amount of machinery that is left out in the field all winter. It is true that some of it even reaches the barn lot where it remains. throughout the winter. It could all be placed in the shed within, half a day. Of course if the shed is filled with something else, there is not room, but on. most farms some sort of shelter can be provided, even though an implement shed is not amenable. Frequently an implement is left in the field, because the farmer, when he unhitches, has not the time to store it. Hes iritentions, of course, are good. He fully expects to place the imple- meat under coeer when he bas time. Winn work becomes slack, he forgets about the •cultivator, the plow, the mowing machine, or the :binder which he lett in the field weeks before. The life of a pieee of machinery is shortened by exposure to weather just as is the life of an, .animal. We know of several binders that have been in use. for over twelve years and are still geeing good eervica They were not phenomenelly good binders, either. They were merely given good eare and were -housed when tiot in use. The life of the average binder, as treated by the majoeity oe farmers, is only•five to six years. The man who has 'not been obliged to 'buy a new 'binder for a dozen years hes in that time enved enough to pay twice the rent of shed roue to cover it with. Very few men would think of buy- ing an automobile or a 'fine meriage and leaving it out 01 th,e o.pen. indeed, they see to it that they have 'some sort of shelter to put it in. Yet many of these same men will Mayo their binders or in,ovvers or cultivators in the field oe out under some conven- ient tree from one season's end, to the next. • The points to coml. tier in bulletin a tbelter are a tight roof, tight walls, plenty of light, and the ancessibility of every machine stored in the build- ing.

Sunflower seeds have been found of great value at that time. At least San per cent. of beef scrap in the math is desirable at molting time. It seems expensive to feed beef strap to hens that are not laying, but oxperienee proves that the sooner they are through the molt the ;better for the health and egg production of the Rook. Growing stocks on the roosts ean be protected from lice by sprayieg the roosts. Teach them to roost early and it will help to prevent colds. Colds u.seally come from overcrovetling in She corners of colony houses or brood mops. Early roosting is sometimes a cause of crooked breasts but it ie better to have a few crooked ,breasts than birds with colde. Hens of the American, breeds fatten easily and it often pays to place them in good market condition, even at the present feed prices. There is no de- mand: for skinny poultry and the pro- 'd'ucer can expect little success if such birds are sold. But the be that is bagging down with fat is not liked by the best customers. There is a 'happy medium that about describes the prime market fowl. Found It Worth While to Pack Light Soil. Tn my farming emperience it has appeared that we must take advantage of every opportunity to inform oar - selves on the .best methods of doing our work. We learn much from other farmers and from our eounty repre- sentatives and the experiment eta - Cons, but to make the greatest succes.s we can not allow ouns•elve,s to .go to sleep. I think I have learned, 81 llttle lesson by accident which will mean as numb to rny success at farming light soil as any other information which I have 'seemed from any other source. After preparing n field for rye it became necess.ary to !haul ,across the land loads of corn foe the alto. The men in driving did not keep to nnar- row track and as ,a 'result a Tether wide. strip *1 soil was th,orou,ghly packed and when the seed was put in this soil was very firm despite the light natant of the land,. Now the lesson which I learned was that when this field was !harvested there was a splendid stand of ..rye where the soil bad been thoroughly 'firmed and. not much of a trap elsewhere. This obeervetion set me to thinking and I •coneluded that if the packing worked in a small epot 55 ougtht to work all over the field.

Gage A six-thous,and, mile tour a Canada convinces nee that that country not only has the world's. greatest farmers' et:inoperative organization, but that it has attained man-size proportions, writes Earl W. Gage, of Michigan. It is past etaperimental uncertainty, and is a "trust with teeth in it," as a middleman testified to me 'who heel been put out of business by it. The United Gratin Growers., Limited, includes sixty thousand active mem- bers end twenty thousand associate menamrs, a total of eighty thousend producers and consumers. This' mem- bership includes one in three of farm owners and tenants ,of Manitoba, Sas- kate.hewan. and Albeeta. The company has a paid up capitalize -Mote of about $8,000,000, -with reserve funds of an- other $2,000;000, while the assets axe more than $12,000,000, and pay their owners a dividend of from eight to San per cent. on the stock inveeitment, beside setting aside a reserve fund at the came of eacb season, A Gigantic -Enterprise. , Nearly eeven hundred) country ele- vators are °panted:by the combine in the three provinces of Western Can- ada, two large private elevators et the head of the Great Lakes. The Dominion government has a series of elevators, government owned, so that these Simmers .are able to store each season, -without 'speculative aid, a major portion of thede crop. They are not at the mercy of gamblers of the grain pit. The United Grain Growers Merates a grain exporting ibusiness, with head- quarters at New York City, which prior to the war was one of the larg- est grain exporting concerns on the continent, and during the war was considered so good as to be -called over by the allied •goversunente. It is now a leader in the grain world. This gigantic .structure of team- work has been erected in the slicat period of a few years, amid a field strewn with the wrecks .of co-operative kailuree among farmers. It will trans- fiet a business of more than $100,000,- 000 this season, sin.ce it will -haralle Canada's g-reatest ,grain crop from Them to remotest export point, con- serving profit to the individual grower. This is the .geeat eombination which is being used as a pattern by the American Farm Bureau Federation in their present ,organization scbeine in the middle west, a .committee visting Canada and studein at ant hand the plan. It is estimated that it will save $35,000,000 a yen, in eonweriesions alone to tanners ot six central states, to say nothing of the former apemen- tive profits, where farmers are ender She domination of grain pit tenons. Development of Co-operation. One of She most Temarkable de- velopments! in Western Canada within the past decade has been the develep- ment of co -Operative e•ffort among the faTmers. Although this bas expressed itself most notably in the success which has attended the farmers' own elevator companies; yet the seccess has been equally as .pronoutieed re- garding creameries; live stoelc gelling, wool and sheep associations, Meese factinies and stores,. "The farmers' movement has now reached a stage 'Mien it is definitely recognized as ene f the most import- factorin, the national life of Cala ado," 'advised H011, ThOrnan A. Cera, late minister of .agyicelture tend peesi- clent of tbe United, Grain: Growers.

Now Dominion -Wide. The co-operative movement is no longer confined to the eteairie prov- inces. It is firmly established in On- tario, where the United:Farmers' Co- operative Company of Ontario orgae,- ized but a few years ago, hicreased its turnover by five hundeed per cent, last year. The United Farmers of New Brunswick and of British Columbia are extending their eo-operative ac- tivities. The dairy -industry of Quebec is well organized on co-operative the movement hs a strong foothold in Prince Edward Mend; and'a start has been made in Nova 'Scotia. So the co-operative spirit has. eaught all Can- ada.. "These organizations," continued Mr. Crerar, "created, developed, and directed by farmers, have detnonstrat- ed that they can safely enter the world of commerce and distribution ancl com- pete successfully with old-establisted :business institutions. Slowly but sure- ly the :co-operative idea is 3mM-reg headway against the old :capitalist system in Canada, and it has at lest aroused promising interest in urban communities and business centres,. "Much remains to be done in the way ef co-ordination and consolidation, but there is no reason why 'within one or two decades the:whole agricultural population of Canada senuld not be linked ep in vest 00 -operative ergan- izations 'which will undertake all its selling, buying and distributing acti- vities."' The economic aspect of the Cantedian farmers' moeement is- but one aspect of the new era. To -day the fanners' political activitiee leak even mare largely in the public eye. The transi- tion from economic organization • to political action was both inevitable and simple. , The organized farmers found that as long as pat:amount fin- ancial and onameactaring interests largely controlled .and influenced the legielatuyee et. Canada, especially the federal government at Ottawa, there must be a definite limit to their co- operative schemes. When people bave learned to co-operate in business it is an easy transition to Work together in governmental affairs. Ahn of Farmers' Movement.

That is enough of a reason of course, but tilde its the other reasan of stertee life of trucks thus abased, Any weli- made truck will last for a long time, if it is not overloaded., and if the op- erator keeps it in repairs and operates it weedy.
