Cave of Young Pigs.,
Everg\" ownew oe a brood SOW,
whether be 1:ives on e laege'faent
flicl hair many, or whether he iS
suburbeniee and owns one,' should
fe.el a personal respeneibility to eee
that the pig litters born this spring
are received with the uttnest care.
That means the inettee of providing
proper housing tor the beeoil sows,
and their youeg shouldbelle
at attention. -
The high •mortality among young
pigs in some male oe the country can
be materially reduced if peepee'hous-
ing and feed are provided for the
sows. According to one investigation,
which covered about fifty herds, rep-
resenting 930 brood sows, the evert
age loss was repent thirty-three per
ceet., while some feurners lost fifty
to seventy per cent, of the Pigs.
18 has been found that the larger
losses usually occur on farms where
the housing facilities -are poor. In
one inveetigation it was learned that
where good or fairly good hog houses
Were used, the average number of
Pigs raised in a litter was five and
• one-quarter, while or. &ems where
the housing was poor the average
number reared from each litter was
only three and one-tenth. The aver-
age. saving, thereon, where goad
houses were used, ainounted to more
than two pigs to the litter.
• There are many kinds of satisfac-
tory hog houses which can. be built
at commeratively tow cost.' Any one
of these will soon pay for itself in
the Increased number of pigs saved.
Both the individual house and the
colony hog house have a place on the
hog farm. Bothegive very satisfac-
tory results inhey are peoperly con-
structed. If only 0110 can be had the
colony house usually is to be pre-
ferred, especially where a large num-
ber of sows are to be kept. The
farrowing period usually extends
over several weeks if there are many
sows, In such cases each pen in the
house may be used for two or nere
sows during the period. Assuming
that two sows use a pen and that by
remelt of the satisfactory quarters
provided two additional pigs are
sawed in each litter, it would not be
long until the hog house paid for
itself. Good quarters are one of the
best investments the swine grower
ean make.
The satisfactory hog house pro-
-vides warmth, dryness, abundance
of light, ventilation, sanitation and
comfort. To meet these require-
ments the .house need not be expen-
sive. As a matter of fact, many ex-
pensive hog houses •aro not satisfac-
tory because theyodo notpossess all
these requirements, while many less
expensive ones properly planned and
built give excellent satisfaction.
The care gifen the broad sow, es-
pecially in her feeding, is equally
important. Help on this point can
he obtained from bulletins which the
agricultural college or :the Depatt-
ment of Agriculture will •furnish.
There is no animal -on the farm
which requires better protection from
the cold than the hog; none foe which
a good bed is more necessary; and
none so much in need of sunshine as
the little pig. The horse and the cow
have good coats of hair—even a calf
or colt left in the cold is provided
with a good fur coat; the hens' fea-
thers are the best protection against
low temperature, but the hog has al-
most nettling between his skin and
the weather. One of the first re-
quisites for success with- bogs is a
shelter where young pigs can be kept
warm and well.supplieci with sunshine
and fresh air. A little pig takes cold
very easily and recovers slowly, if at
all. To prevent taking cold he must
be kept dry, warm, away from
draughts and provided with good
fresh air.

in seedbed preparation, especially
following the disc or roller to restore
a Mulch, or blanket, of loose soil, a

ture in the soil, to destroy small
weeds and encourage germination of
weed seeds and to restore the essen-
tial mulch.
SEEDING --This operation is now
satisfactorily done by means of :the
seed chill. Several types are on- the
market, but the single disc drill is
probably most popular. Do this work
carefully and accurately. Misses be-
tween drill widths are wasteful, un-
sightly, and furnish breeding places
for .weeds; excessive variations in
ratees of seeding from too light to too
thick may result in heavy losses in
yields.
ROLLING—The roller is too fre-
quently used to put a finishing touch
to the field after seeding. It may be
so used to advantage on light soils,.
but even then should be followed by
the drag harrow to break the quickly
crusted surface. The chief use oflhe
roller should. be to firm and crumbee
the soil before seeding. It should not
be used on very damp soil, especially
clay; let the surface dry first, then
use the roller to break the crust.
A good seedbed may be defined as
one, mellow; uniformly level, fairly
loose and fine at the surface but firm
below, and well supplied with plant
food suitable for the crop to be
grown. To get such a seedbed means
thoroughness and judgment in carry-
ing out each step in its preparation,

Care and Repair of Farm Machinery.
A big leak, usually unrealized, oc-
curs through the meagre attention
given farm implements. The care of
earm machinery is a phase of farm
management that does not usually
receive the attention its importance
warrants. In the rush to get the
crop into the ground at the proper
time and in the best possible condi-
tion for satisfactory returns or to
gather in the harvest promptly, the
eaxe due the implements which have
made eaeh operation possible is lack-
ing or performed in a more or less
haphazard manner. • As a conse-
quence, part of the toil -earned rev-
enue of the farm is swallowed up in
the purchase of new machinery or
in expensive repairs which might
have been avoided had proper pre-
caution been taken in time.
On every well-managed farm at-
tention is given, so fav ne eircum-
stauces permit, to this factor in farm
management. All implements are
cleaned and placed under cover when -
not in use, all polished surfaceslre-
prepnration. Axle grease or other
lubricaht will answer this purpose.
As shelter, many typee of structure
are suitable, and an expeditere not

'How to Make Hotbeds.
By the use of hotbeds and cold
frames, plants can be grown through
their earlier stages out of doors even
before the growing season has ar-
rived. By the use of these, garden.
crops can be secured much earlier in
the season than if seeding is delayed
until the soil is warmed up in the:
open garden. Such vegetables as
peppers, egg plant, melons, etc., can'
be so hastened in the spring as to!
ensure their maturing: before the;
frost period arrives in many parts.
of Canada where these crops are not
usually grown. Such crops as radish,
lettuce, spinach, and other vegetables
can be made to reach a marketable
size relatively early in the summer.
While hotbeds, as the teinn signi-
-tee, are heated with fermenting
manure, the cold frame depends upon
the sun shirting through the glass
sash to warm up the soil and start
growth. The cold frame, for that
reason, is more easily adopted, al-
though it cannot be Used totes° great

Teach Unselfishness.
If a child is not schooled to do
without things when he is six,. eight
and ten, then most certainly he will
have a very hard time making up his
mind to do without them when he is
eighteen and twenty and so on.
Character can only be strengthened
little by little. Those who eannOt
practice little acts of self-denial can-
not practice big ones. Teach a child
to give up/ to other eldldren some-

Mee, Demme was seized by a fiereel
dome to teav the thing to scraps,

everything kept clernbinge-•milk—

Suddenly, as if it were written above

the last one before the fighting stop-

"You wonder how we can stand it

for one thing we insist upon ow eight

we refuse to carry the battles into our

Why, of course. The thing was as
true of bills as of shells'. She would
pay the old thing and than refuse to
have anything more to do with it. She
would enjoy the walk to the :sten,

considerable headway has been made.
The initial Studies have concerned
the rate of re-lorestation of cut -over
pinewood lands under natural condi.
time. Investigations to date point to
the fact that it will take from 50 to
100 years for spruce and baleam to
grow to merchantable size on these
cut -over lands, whereas lumbermen
have thought that reforestation would
take place in about 20 years. Another
disquieting feature the investigations
lieve disclosed is the fact that whore
the pulpwood speciee are cut down,
the new growth is proaominately hard-
wood for which, as yet, there is little
market. These scientific :acts are of
paramount importance both to the
