CROSS SECTION — ; I'"’-': J% • * / ^Zzd x* ■* 'kfy *..." '/'fr 2 s * ;S ' ^TRANSVERSE SECTIOH Cross-Section of Ditch and Bank. A constant supply of clear, cool wa ter in summer, and a stream that will not freeze in winter, is something to be desired on every stock farm. This is not possible with the ordinary pond, which is often the only source of sup ply. However, with a suitable arrange ment of tile seepage it is possible to have practically a spring flowing from your pond winter and summer, and where the pond is fenced, as it should be to keep stock out, the water will be fit for house use, w'rites H. F. Grinstead in the Farm and Home. When you construct a pond, leave a gap in the embankment till the tile and pipe are laid, and if you contem plate adding this convenience to a pond already made, it will have to be drained by cutting the dam at the point where the pipe is to protrude. In scraping out the dirt make the bottom of the pond, or as much of it as will be occupied by the ditch, al most level. In a medium-sized pond one line of tile extending about half way the length of the pond will be all that is necessary, while in larger ones and where a larger supply is required, it will be best to have two lines meet ing at right angles near the outlet pipe. When the bottom is scraped out, dig a ditch three feet deep and half as wide, beginning near the em bankment and running back as far as the bottom is practically level. In the bottom of this ditch lay three-inch tile with close joints and plug both ends, so that all water that gets in will have to come in as seepage. In sert a three-quarter or one-inch pipe in the lower plug, and continue the pipe through the dam to the watering tank at a convenient distance below’. A cement collar should be put around the pipe where is goes through the embankment. After the tiling is in place fill the ditch half full with sand and fine gravel and then with clay scraped WINTER PIGS ARE PROFITABLE Animals Must Not be Slighted Dur Ins the Cold Weather , Either in Housing or Feedins. (By G. W. BROWN.) There is a decided difference in caring for the pigs of autumn farrow ing and those of the spring litters. On the average farm the latter have the advantage over the former of coming in previous to the advent of the spring ing grasses, and have a more generous supply of milk and other laxative food stuffs to keep them growing and in perfect order. It has been my practice for a num ber of years to raise two litters of pigs a year. To do this successfully I find that one must not allow over stocking, but rather should sell off a portion of the pigs soon after wean ing time, keeping only so many as he knows Tie can accommodate with good quarters and generous feeding. One must not slight pigs during cold weather, either in housing or feeding. Besides dry nesting quarters, the pigs should have a good-sized lot in which they may get plenty of exer cise. Growing pigs should not be crowded into close, filthy quarters, ex posed to vermin and disease. Our winter plgc are very profitably from the sides of the pond, except about ten feet at the upper end of the ditch, or the end opposite the pipe. Fill this with small stones and gravel till level with the bottom of the pond. This will allow of more seepage into the tile, and being at the upper end, the water remains in the tile longer, and is therefore cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Where the outlet pipe enters the watering tank an automatic valve with a float will keep the w’ater at a con stant level. In winter a gate valve may be used and the water turned in and drained as' needed in order to keep the tank from freezing. The water, coming from three feet below the bottom of the pond and through the filter of sand and gravel, is as cool and almost as pure as spring wa ter, and there is no ice to cut in win ter, giving more comfort to the stock. The tile is always full of water, the seepage being about as fast as ordin ary use demands. , In constructing a pond dam the groud should be broken and the soil scraped off, then the clay broken and the embankment started on this brok en clay with a clay of the same sort. By beginning this way it all cements together and there will be no danger from leaks in the embankment. The pond should be fenced so that stock cannot get to it by wading in. The value of any pond is doubled by hav ing it arranged so that the water may be drawn out without stock standing in it. The outlet pipe should have a little fall from where it leaves the ditch to the tank, which should be below the level of the tile. This will usually not be difficult, since most ponds are made in draws and the land slopes onsiderably below’ the dam. When this pipe is in place the gap in the em bankment should be filled and well packed so as to make all parts of the dam of equal strength. Position of Tile, Pipe and Tank. fed upon whole corn in the fodder, as they delight in getting their feed from this material. I find that they eat very much of the fodder, which forms a fine diet. The cobs and coarse stalks are raked up and burned fre quently, affording the pigs a generous supply of charcoal. I aim to keep a cow for every litter of milk-stuffs I een grow a bunch of winter pigs, and with the milk and a supply of pigs equal to the spring litters. Care of Sheep. No matter if an ewe is four years old, if she has a good udder and good teeth and is otherwise in good health keep her two or three years longer. Most excellent breeding ewes can be found in any of the big markets because they are thin in flesh and have been rejected by the buyers, but have no other faults as breeders. Sheep are not particularly greedy, but occasionally one founders from over-eating. This is never the case where they have free access to feed at all times of the day and night Lice in Pigeon Nests. In hot weather lice breed in pigeon houses by the million and extra care must be taken to keep down the vermin. Rats in a pigeon, house not only de stroy the young, but their presence frightens the birds so that they wil' not thrive.

Large business oiganizations have come to stay. We cannot go back to old conditions. We must meet World competition. Large concerns can pro duce goods at lower cost than small ones. Germany favors large corpora tions. The method of the present na tional administration is to dissolve the great organizations and make them smaller, which is a backward step. There should be no limit to a corporation doing a large and legiti mate business, such as would be pos sible under the licensing plan which I favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former governor of Massachusetts, in the Boston Herald. Prejudices against corporations merely because they are big, perhaps, must be done away with. They give labor better returns. They cheapen product and thus benefit the consum er. They give opportunities to small investors who get returns otherwise unattainable. They employ able young men who have no capital at all, but who receive handsome sal aries for their ability and service. In place of the Sherman law it is my opinion there should be a depart ment at Washington to grant licenses to all manufacturers and corporations in this country who do an interstate commerce business. The law should be made so clear, plain and definite that it could not be misunderstood. It should require all capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly statements should be given to the public and certified by a public ac countant. There should be a board of examiners in each state to look after these corporations just as our national banks are watched by the na tional government. They should have the right to enter the offices and ex amine the records of all the direc torates of these companies. Practical Suggestion.

"Mr. M„ I am glad to see you better,” Lee said to him, smiling. “But, general, I have not been sick.” "Then I am glad you have better news from home.” "But, general, I have had no bad news.” “Ah, I took it for granted that nothing less than sick ness or distressing news from home could have kept you from your duty.” In the same vein was his remark to a student who had been late for pray ers. "Mr. Page, will you kindly give my compliments to Miss and ask her if she will please have breakfast a little earlier for you?” To a negli gent student he said: “How is your mother? I am sure you must be de voted to her; you are so careful of the health of her son.” Summoned to Lee’s office, a lad was told that only patience and industry would save him from failure in col lege and in life. “But, general, you failed,” the student replied, with sophomore inaptitude. “I hope that you may be more fortunate than I,” was the quiet answer.
