A CORNER OVEKLAY.
|y objected to, and justly so, too, on
tin* ground that pigs become crip
pled If required to nest In beds on
them during tin* winter season. Even
though mi abundance of bedding Is
used oil cement floors, had results
seem to follow Just tin* same. There
nn* few worse plnees for a brood sow
to farrow than on a cement floor. She
gathers the small amount of bedding
allowed her Into a small pile, beds on
It, and the newly Imrti pigs wriggle
off on the bare floor, which, being slip
pery, prevents them from getting on
tlielr feet; the cold floor soon exhausts
them, and they perish. It was with
the object of overcoming these objec
tions to the cement floors that overlays
were used.
The flrat cut shows nn overlay fl by
8 feet In one corner of a pen with
the door In the opimalte corner.
This plan Is possessed of the advan
tages of providing shelter for the bed
when the outer door Is open, and the
pigs can go In and ont without crossing
the bed. The second cut shows nlue
180 pound pigs bedded down comfort
ably on this overlay. Tilts form of
overlay Is hinged to the wall so that
when the pen Is cleaned out It Is tipped
up, bedding Hinl all, and any tilth
which may have accumulated under
neath Is cleaned out. When the floor
Is clenm*d the overlay Is let down and
the beddlug thrown off on the floor for
absorbent, being replaced by fresh
straw at least once a week. When the
overlay Is placed In the corner of the
pen that, portion of tlie floor should be
raised somewhat.
Both this overlay and another now In
use In the piggery were constructed
front secondhand Inch lumber. JThey
nre raised off the floor by Inch cleats
which hold the boards together. A 2
by 4 was set up around the outer edges
of the overlay to hold the bedding In
place. (A 2 by <? may be used.) These
were nulled to the boards below and
strengthened hy trUngnlnr ptecea of
seautllng fastened In the angle formed
by the 2 by 4 anil the board floor. In
the use of these overlays three facta
Uuve been strikingly noticeable—via,
first, pigs Invarlnbly use the overlays
by preference, sleeping on the bare
boards If there should be no straw on
them; second, of the 3(X) or 400 hogs
Sawdust or Shavln** Ideal For the
Comfort of the Dalrr Cow.
I3y C. F. DOA.NE. Maryland.
It Is not likely that sawdust Is avail
able In many localities, but where It
cun In* procured It will cost about 1
cent per hundred pounds, which makes
It a comparatively cheap bedding. It
must he said that tin* sawdust, every
thing considered, was the mc-st satis
factory of the materials used In tests.
It kept the cows cleaner than anything
else and stayed in place better, as It Is
not as easily shovisl around as are tlie
straw and stover. It can be made to
liH>k cleaner and neater than either of
the other materials and. unlike tlie
straw and stover, is entirely free from
dust. Tin* only possible objection that
could la* urged against It is that It car
ries so much moisture as to make it a
little damp, hut It Is very doubtful If
this has any had effect. The sawdust
from the pitch pines of the southern
states Is said to have a bad effect on
the sandy soils of that section. The
sawdust decays slowly and has a tend
ency to loosen up a soil already too
1 lose. Tills objection would lmrilly
hold good outside of the pitch pllie re
gions or on day land. Sawdust ma
nure Is ideal for scattering on fields.
Suwilu*t or Shavings.
Practically all that enn la* said In fa
vor of the sawdust Is true of the shav
ings, and It is also quite dry. It Is
without the objectionable dust of straw
and stover. It makes a line appear
ance. The only objection Is that it Is
light, and a strong breeze blowing
through the stable is likely to scatter
It. but ordinarily It stays under the
cows well and Is not easily shoved
about. The shavings used come hulled
and cost about to $7 per ton In car
lots. The test shows that It would re
quire about 1,100 pounds per cow for a
year.
For the strictly snnltary dairy, snw-
dusl and shavings nre tlie lilenl bedding
materials, though the ordinary dairy
; farmer could not be ndvlsed to buy
when he could raise either the straw or
the stover. There Is n little dust In
shavings, but It would have no effect
on the wbolesomeness of the milk, as
the dust from the shavings Is generally
small particles of wood and seldom
contains any molds or bacteria. As
was ststed liefore, the sawdust Is damp
and hns no dust. Moreover, both of
these materials keep tlie cows cleaner
anil mnke a stable look neuter than ei
ther the straw or the stover.
R*e Straw.
In the city markets rye straw sells
for about twice ns much as any other
material Intended for bedding. Of
course It Is Intended almost exclusively
for horses, and the double price paid
for It would Indicate tbnt horsemen
considered It JURt twice ns deRlrable
for bedding. It Is n little difficult to
get at the true reason. Farmers evi
dently prefer the wheat straw for both
horses nud cows. It Is very doubtful
If rye straw would prove at all satis
factory In a dairy stable. It Is hard
nud stiff, nud In some tests mnde nt
this station, with a separate and small
COOKING OIL
SALAD OIL
Pure Deodorized Cotton Seed Oil
Is a wholesome vegetable product. When properly
used is better than butter at one-fourth the cost.
For cooking either bread or meats is far superior
to lard at one-half tlie cost.
If used for salads is equal to olive oil and only
costs half as much.
This store sells WESSON COOKING and SALAD

These refined products of cotton seed are all that is

WORLD’S WHEAT.
Hatlmmtr* on the Two Great Source*
of Bread Supply.
The world's wheat, crop of 1005 Is
estimated by the Hungarian ministry
of agriculture at 3,180,000,000 bushels
of sixty pounds, against 3,182,000.000
such bushels last year. Beerbohm’s
Evening Corn Trade List puts this
year's wheat crop at 3,223,000,000 bush
els of sixty pounds agnlust 3,166,400,-
000 such bushels In 1904. Both esti
mates make the crop of 1905 the larger,
the excess In Us favor amounting, how
ever, to less than one-fourth of 1 per
cent according to the Hungarian es
timate, and 2.1 per cent according to
the figures given by Beerbohm.
The Hungarian estimate for rye Is
1,539,000,000 bushels of fifty-six pounds
against 1,851,000,000 such bushels last
year. The decrease, which exceeds 15
tier cent, Is attributed chiefly to the
iarge deficiency lu tlie Russian crop of
this grain. Unimportant as Is the place
that rye occupies among the cereals
cultivated in the United States, It is
by no means unimportant as a part of
the world's bread supply, nor is It
without effect ou the price obtainable
for the exportable wheat surplus of the
United States.
If the wheat and rye crops of the
world, ns estimated by the Hungarian
ministry of agriculture, be taken to
gether aud expressed In centals of 100
pounds, this year's estimate for the
two great bread grains combined will
be found to be about 5% per cent below
the estimate for last year.
