KEEPING SWINE HEALTHY IS
OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE
There is No Theme Upon Farm That Will So Benefit Farmer
as to Keep Quarters and Surroundings in Sani.
tary Condition Where Hogs are Kept —
Guard Against Cholera.
(By GEORGE W. BROWN, Ohio.)
There is no theme upon the farm
that will so benefit the farmer as to
keep the quarters and surroundings
of the farm in a sanitary and health
ful condition where swine are kept.
Nowhere will an outbreak of chol
era become so disastrous as upon the
farm where these animals are kept
with dirty, filthy surroundings, and
no care taken in the disinfection of
the nesting places and slop troughs
during the summer time.
Upon our farm we have never prac
ticed the method of keeping a herd
of swine in one place very long, and
never do we fatten out more than one
bunch of animals in the same field
in one year, preferring rather to shift
our operations about from place to
place.
We have no permanent quarters,
but rely upon the service of the cot,
shown in the illustration.
These bunks can be shifted about
easily upon runners, and many times
each year are changed from one field
to another, or from one pen to an
other, thus we always have the ani
mals in fresh sleeping quarters, and
upon fresh forage. While the animals
are located upon a new range, we
break up the old range, cropping it
in some profitable farm crop, thus get.
ting the benefit of all excrement from
the animals, profiting in its enrich
ment of the soil, and we as well
freshening and sweetening the soil
by cultivation.
Then swine should be supplied with
some shade aside from a board shel
ter to ward off the heated rays of
the summer sun. There is nothing
for this purpose quite so nice as
clumps of willows, catalpas or pop
lars grown in some convenient loca
tion in each field, preferably along the
fence row, in such manner that the
animals may have access to the cool
ing shade during the heat of the day.
USEFUL GUARD
FORA_WINDOW
Missouri Mein Has Invented Gate
That Will be Found Con
venient for Variety
of Uses.
The door and window guard pat
ented by a Missouri man has a variety
of uses. It comprises a gate madq.of
parallel pickets linked together by
short cross bars and sliding easily
back and forth on rollers. It can be
folded up into small compass against
one side of the opening it guards or
stretched all the way across and
made fast. The uses to which such a
gate can be put are both numerous
and obvious. It can be attached to
Door and Window Guard.
home or store window to bar thieves
and in that case is made of iron and
padlocked in its open position, or it
can be made of wood and erected at
any opening through which a baby
could fall, particularly at the head
of' stairways in the house or on the
porch, in place of the gate of solid
construction most used for such pur
pose. The height of the pickets, of
course, will vary with the require
ments.
A Desirable Hog Cot.
In one of our fields we have such a
clump of quaking-asp and it is pleas
ing to note how contented these ani
mals are during the sweltering heat
of the day, as they lie about in the
shade of this rustling clump of trees.
If there is not such shade planted
along the borders of a field we should
not be slow in planting such if we
were in the swine growing business,
and every wide awake farmer should
be, for indeed be should consider
himself too poor to be without this
profitable animal upon his premises.
Many make a mistake in allowing
their swine to run to the creek dur
ing the summer for water. We have
such a place upon our farm, and we
might save much time in getting wa
ter to our swine many times if we
allowed them to go to this water
course, but we are afraid of it. In
deed In this field we never allow our
swine to roam, for we do not know
what farmer several miles above us
in another district might have chol
era or plague, and our animals ex
posed by contamination in the water
flowing down stream.
We rather prefer to keep our ani
mals well away from this stream of
water, and give them pure water
from the well in disinfected troughs,
thus doing our part toward keeping
down loss from cholera.
We keep down the objectionable
and nauseating hog wallow upon our
farm and do not tolerate it in the
least. We know the swine enjoy It,
but we have learned to detest its
abominable company, and by chang
ing the animals about, and locating
new quarters frequently we keep this
mire of mud and filth abandoned.
With the advancement along other
lines of farm operations, the ad
vancement in this line of work ap
peals to us as very significant in keep
ing these animals in a sanitary and
healthful location at all times.
PROPER PLACE
FOR CHICKENS
Should Not be A Ilowed to Roost On
Top of Harness or Buzgy —
Should Have Good
House.
One of the most important things
in the care of laying hens is the
house that they are to live in. On
most farms it used to be that the hen
roosted any old place, and her favor
ite place was on top of the harness
or buggy. And when they could not
reach their favorite place, they took
to the trees, but I can say that the
hen’s life on the farm has changed,
for now you see nice houses and
yards for them, says a writer in the
Successful Farming.
A good poultry house may be de
fined as one that is dry, warm and
ventilated, and fitted to accommodate
the kind of fowls that is to be kept.
A stationary house suitable for any
kind of fowl may be built of stone or
brick, but the best house is built of
lumber made in a size suitable for
moving once a year at least. Lumber
is cheaper than brick or stone, and
when you find that there is some im
provement that you could make to the
advantage of the hen and coop, it will
be a good deal cheaper remodeling
the wooden building.
It is impossible to build a house
that will answer for all times of the
year. You will find alterations to
make in spring and fall, so when wood
is used in its construction it can be
built in sections and bolted together,
in warm weather you can use wire
frames in place of the board sections.
Give the hens plenty of room, lots of
clean straw to be used as scratching
material, fight lice nine days a week,
and see if the hens don’t pay their
way.
Swindlers Prosecuted.
The mayor of New York is vigor
ously prosecuting swindlers who sell
short weight potatoes. The law re
quires the barrel of potatoes to con
tain 100 quarts, and to weigh 174
pounds, but most of the barrels in
use are short from 20 to 50 pounds.

—
Arms of Implement Close Up Along
Shaft When Not in Use—Handy in
Small Motor Boats.
A Wisconsin man, who probably had
the painful experience some other peo
ple have had with large anchors in
small motor boats, has designed a fold

ment are pivoted at the bottom of the
shank, which is hollow, and are oper

shank. When the anchor is not in
use the arms can be folded up along
the shank and the whole take up very
little space, besides having the points
out of the way, where no one is in
danger of running against them.
When the anchor is to be lowered the
arms are pushed open and locked in
that position so firmly that the appa
ratus is just as strong as if made in
one piece. An anchor of this kind can
be laid along the bottom of the boat
or stowed away under a seat and no
body will know it is aboard until it is
needed.
ASH HEAP UNDER THE FLOOR
Revolving System of Boxes Arranged
in Front of Heater to Receive
Debris —Emptied Any Time.
The modern cellar is as orderly an
apartment as any of the other rooms
of the house, but at the present time
the unsightly ash heap has not been
entirely disposed of. The day is not
yet here when the coal bin and the
ash pile are entirely eliminated, and
the latter, growing constantly from

day to day, is a source of some con
cern to the tidy householder. Then
again the transferral of the ashes
from under the heater must be looked
after constantly and is a task which
many a man performs only with the
assistance of considerable profanity.
The matter has been solved by bury
ing the ashes as they fall from the
heater. A revolving system of ash
boxes fits in a well in front of the
heater and when the heater is raked
the debris therefrom is drawn directly
into one of these burled receptacles.
These may be emptied at one’s own
convenience.
GOOD MATERIAL FOR FLOOR
French Inventor Has Devised Combi
nation of. Concrete and Carborun
dum for Severe Use.
There has always been difficulty in
finding a material for flooring which
will successfully withstand the grind
ing action of a constant procession of
persons over it, as at the entrances qf
large railroad stations, but a French
inventor has devised a combination of
concrete and carborundum which has
been experimented with in Paris, and
the results have been found to be su
perior to anything else which has
been devised for the purpose. A
flight of steps built of this combina
tion showed no perceptible wear after
they' had been used by an estimated
army of 14,000,000 persons who passed
over it. This is a very severe test, for
nfgoing up and down public stair
ways persons follow the shortest line,
so that the great majority of those
using it follow the same path, the
wear and tear is very great in pro
scribed area.

MAKING FLOORS OF SAWDUST
Artificial Floorings Are Manufactured
Extensively in Germany—Re
semble Mosaic Pavements.
Artificial floorings, made of sawdust
and other ingredients, are manufac
tured extensively in Germany. It is
understood now that certain firms are
to introduce a similar process in this
country.
The flooring composition consists of
a solution of magnesium chloride to
which pulverized magnesia is added
and which of itself forms a white, ab
solutely solid, artifle. 1 stone. If to
this cement sawdust be added in con
siderable proportions the combination,
when it becomes hard, possesses many
of the qualities of both wood and
stone.
Some of these floorings are mixed
on the spot and laid soft on the space
to be covered, while others are mold
ed into plates and delivered ready
made. According to consular and
trade reports, one Hamburg firm im
pregnates the wood meal with oil be
fore mixing it with the magnesia
paste and thereby renders it nonab
sorbent.
In Germany the cheaper grades of
flooring are colored to resemble lin
oleum or mosaic pavements, and in
many instances have given entire sat
isfaction during a considerable term
of years. The emigrant halls of the
Hamburg-American line in Hamburg
are paved almost entirely with this
composition. Floors thus made are
more elastic than cement floors, are
much warmer, and preserve a smooth
er surface. Under the fire test this
flooring chars, but does not burn, and
is a poor conductor of heat.

Novel Vacuum Cleaner.
A great variety of vacuum cleaners

of time he perfected so as to be ap
plicable to all domestic establishments
where a stream of water is available,
it consists of two suction pumps, op
erated by a direct connected water
wheel and a chamber in which the
dust and dirt mix with the water dis
charged from the wheel. The machine, i
which weighs a little less than twen
ty-five pounds, is intended to sit over
a sink or bathtub and the dirt and
water pass out through the waste pipe. '
