(By J, C, FULLER.) Swine were originally natives of warm, damp climates. When do- mesticated and given proper protec- tion they are found profitable fn all agricuitural districts. And yet no other farm animal is subjected to such uncontfortable quarters; he. frequent- ly sleeps in filth and eats from sour and dirty troughs. Fortunately, farm- ers are now appreciating better meth- ods for shelter and herd management. With the practice of these improved methods we find the portable hog- house rapidly coming into favor. Only -the simplest kind of work- manship is necessary to build the port- abie house and much odd lumber can be worked into it. The portable house is peculfarly ad- vantageous since it can be readily moved. The renter who finds it tm- possible to provide expensive quar- ters for his hogs can well afford to construct portable houses, since they WINTERING BEES OUT DOORS Practice of Leaving Few Colonies on Stand All Winter Without Covering !s Costly. Meny bee keepers who have only a few colonies allow them to remain on the stand all winter without any protection, but they generally find in ‘the spring that their carelessness has cost them dearly, writes Charles Per- ry in the Farm and Home. If it seems necessary to leave beeS out of doors they may be protected as shown in the illustration. I place the hives in Outdoor Winter Bee Shelter. a row east and west, with the front to the south, and set them about a foot apart. I fill the supers with rags, pieces of burlap and torn newspapers, finish- ing with a quilt of burlap. On this I dlace the cover. Prairie hay or straw is tightly packed about the backs, sides and tops of the hives. This material is put on 3 feet deep, and over the whole thing is stretched roofing paper, which is held in place by six pfeces of 2x4’s, which may be set into the ground. On warm days I piace a board in front of the hives to yacvent the bees from flying out. * Just as the farmers exercise care in selecting agricultur- al implements, so should he discriminate in choosing a bank in which to deposit his money.

Where a large number of animals are continually housed in one hog house and fed in or around the house, the surroundings are sure to become more or less filthy and unsanitary. If feeding is done on the inside it keeps @ portion of the floor wet, and gives the entire building an offensive, dis- agreeable appearance. On the other hand, by using the portable house, moving occasionally onto a fresh piece of ground, and feeding the hogs | at a different place one avoids these unsanitaty conditions. These port- able houses are built to accommodate from four to six mature animals or ten to twenty shoats. This method keeps them much cleaner and more thirfty than when allowed to congre- gate in larger numbers. Individuals of a herd showing exidences of a con- tagious disease can be readily isolat- ed. The shed-roof portable house, the end of which is here shown, is a building six feet two inches high in front and three feet in the rear. When cut in the middle 12-foot boards can be used for boarding the front of the house. A small space left may be closed by a batten or frieze board at the top. The door of the A-shaped house II- lustrated—is—arranged——te grooves marked “A” and “A.” The solid lines on either side of the door represent the batten. The dotted line Front of A-Shaped House. “b” indicates thewloorway. The heavy lines marked “d” are the cross-pieces or cleats on the door and should be nailed on the outside to give the back a smooth surface. A ventilator is shown at “C.” This furnishes ventila- tion for two or three animals when all the doors are shut; if more ven- tilation is desired, it can easily be secured by opening the small sliding door in the rear. ' This simple plan of ventilation avoids any direct drafts upon the animals and proves very effi- ctent. : — Proper Way to Feed a Horse. The stomach of the horse is quite small—that is, it will hold about two gallons. If the horse is fed his grain first, then hay and then watered, the grain will be pushed out of ihe stom- ach before it is digested. The best way is to water first, then (eed some hay and then the grain. To the water it would take, but it ebould be given ‘a little-even A hog.house of any kind should | slide—in-|—__— the horse is warm it would not do | e all (Py JOSEPH GRAY, Long Eaton, Eng- land.) I use Pott’s queen-cages, which can also be used as cell-protectors or nur- series. The difference between these and the regular Benton cages are: 1, The candy-hole is made from the end, using only a half-inch bit. 2. A half-inch hole is made through the side into the center compart- ment. 3. The top and side covers are of perforated metal, and cut so that they do not catch the clothing. 4, These covers are put on with a screw, which serves as a hinge, and can be tightened with one turn of the screwdriver, so that the imprisoned bees cannot force open the doors and éscape, which I have seen them do when laid down temporarily. - The convenience and advantage of these cages will be readily seen in the following operations: Go to your nucleus colony and pick up the comb with the queen; grasp it with the left hand, also hold your queen cage with the same hand, your thumb over the opened side door. Now with the right hand pick off your queen and she will easily pass through the half-inch door. A three- eighth or quarter inch is not nearly so convenient. ‘You can cage as many bees as you wish, with seldom a sting. The covers are so cut that they will not catch the clothing and pull open on the way to the out-apiary. Revive Unprofitable Colony. The disposition of an unprofitable colony to store honey may be mate- rially increased by giving them sev- eral combs of hatching brood from an industrious hive. More Pure Honey. It would be a good thing if more families in general would adopt the plan to have more pure honey on their dining tables and less glucose mo lasses. A good celery fertilizer must be rich in nitrogen and potash. be mixed above ground. If necessary to feed bees in mid- winter, better feed candy. Never feed scorched sugar in the winter, as it will kill the bees. If you do not own a good fanning mill you are the loser thereby. A silo 16 feet in diameter and 24 feet high will hold approximately 86, tons of silage. It is a mistake to sow alfalfa upon land not containing the bacteria which live upon its roots. Ammonia is a nitrogen compound and the nitrogen is the most valuable part of the manure. If you have poor honey, say so; never lie about your own goods nor about your neighbor's. A very large proportion of our soils need to be put back in the humus.con- dition they were in originally. Nearly all beekeepers advocate good stock in bees, but there is a di- versity of opinion as to the best way to get the best stock. If manure is left in piles about the barn it soon begins to heat, even in winter, especially if it contains any large proportion of horse manure. While the loss of ammonia from the mantre heap can be materially re- duced by tight packing, more or less is bound to be formed under the best Burned lime and manure should not || MISSOURI STATE BANK Established A.
