Department of Agriculture) PORTABLE HOG CABINS 'The portable hog cabin is gradually finding a distinct place on nearly every nixedfarm where hogs play an important role, states A. H. 0. Colbert, Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Rosthern•, Sask. It is conven- ient, cheap; simple in construction; durable, adaptable, and readily mov- able from place to place to permit rotation of pasture lots during the summer months. If the sides are hinged so that they open up from the bottom and are supported in line with the eaves, the cabin may also take the place of shade trees in the hottest weather --the pigs will rest in comfort on the floors while gentle breezes play over them. With the coming of winter, the cabin can be moved to a convenient place near the farm buildings and if the weather is severe the sides and one end banked with straw packed in between the walls and a frame- work of lumber or wire constructed about eighteen inches away. The en- trance end may as a rule be left un banked. The house can be constructed of rough lumber at a cost of $15 to $25 for materials. If it is desired to paint the building and lengthen its period of usefulness, it would be ad- visable to use planed boards. Planks should be used for the flooring. Where feeder hogs are housed in banked colony houses and kept well bedded and dry, very little trouble is generally experienced with either rickets or rheumatism. At the Experimental Station at Rosthern, tests have proved that the "A" type of cabin is not so suitable and convenient as the colony house with 30 to 36 inch sides and a plank floor. ' The latter is easier to clean and disinfect, more durable, permits better ventilation, and the same floor area gives snore ample accommoda- tion for heavy sows, Farrowing tests have proved that pregnant sows housed in colony houses during winter weather and early spring gave stronger and more vigorous litters than sows housed in barns with other livestock. Plans and specifications for a hog cabin are contained in Circular No. '78, "The All Year Hog Cabin", is- sued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, and obtainable on request.

Mr. Shearer noticed a stab of yellow plants across on another farm about 30 rods away and Liv- ingston being curious went across to investigate and found a weed he could not classify. Mr. Shearer promptly identified it as King Devil, a very noxious weed inthe same class as Orange Hawk Weed or Devil's Paint Brush.

GET A GOOD EGG GRADE Eggs should be gathered in a wire mesh basket, not in an old bucket or any old thing which comes handy. When gathering they should be put in a cool place, in a cellar if possible, and not packed in crates until cool. Cooling is particularly important, especially in helping to qualify the eggs for the Grade A Class. There is little or no circulation in an egg crate, consequently eggs placed at once in crates do not cool, and the longer the eggs stay warm in the crate the more likely they are to be- come a poor grade. After a time the white in the uncooled egg tends to weaken, with the result that when the grader passes the egg in front of the Iight he places the egg in Grade. B. and not hollow with close growing leaves close to the ground and very strong roots. Mr. Shearer had the plant sent to Guelph' for identifica- tion and found he was correct. They also found another plant not often found here, rather pretty one and not at all troublesome, the Golden Rag- wort. It will be a pity to let this first weed spread as it spreads very'rapid- ly.

HOME FARM REPAIRS A hint about replacing and repair- ing machinery after hulas and axles have become worn out comes from the Dohrinion Experimental Farms in Nova Scotia. On farm implements such as cultivators, ploughs, and wagons where the wheels do not pro- vide power, it is often possible to use old car or truck wheels for replace- ment purposes. Spindles and hubs can be adapted by welding the spindle to the axle of the implement and welding or bolting the hub to the wheel after doing necessary cutting and fitting. The cost is likely to be less than that of new axles and wheels and in most cases the com- pleted job is more satisfactory, If the wheel 'required is not too high, it may be possible to use the whole car or truck -wheel, tire and all. RILL THE POTATO, BEETLE Growers who prefer to apply the poison in. powder forret should use a dust composed of one part of arsen- ate of lead to six pelts of hydrated lime In dusting, aest results will be be secured if the application IS made in the early morning or late evening when the vines are wet with dew and the air calm. In spraying potatoes, the poison should always be mixed with Bord- eaux as this 'material is not only a valuable fungicide 'but repels the at- tacks, of destructi've insects like the flea beetle and leafhopper.
