He will hold the ap pointment for two years and that pe riod may be extended. The announcement that the duke of Connaught will be the next gover nor general of the Dominion was re ceived in Ottawa with great satisfac tion. Aside from his general popular ity throughout the empire, it is felt that the presence of so distinguished a member of the royal family at Ot tawa will give the capital more politi cal and social importance than it ever has had. The duke of Connaught is the only surviving brother of the late King Ed ward. He Is sixty years of age, a field marshal in the British army and was a personal aid de camp to the late king, who desired that he receive his present appointment.

Page, director of the United States office of public roads and presi :ent of'the new American Association for Highway Improvement, asserts that the United States suffers a direct loss of $40,000,000 annually on account f incorrect and inadequate methods in the construction, maintenance and administration of public roads. This enormous loss is nothing com pared with the indirect loss, through excessive cost of transportation, which is caused by the burden which bad roads impose upon the farmers and others who use the highways, and this amount, according to Mr. Page's report, reaches the impressive total of $250,000,000 every year. The American farmer is paying two >r three times as much to get his products to mnarket as the man who tills the ground in Europe, and this added cost of transportation is known to be an important factor in the high cost of living problem.

Townsend is regarded s a figure of considerable importance n national affairs. When insurgency broke out in the ouse of representatives against the rule of Speaker Cannon, Townsend, who had been elected to congress in 1903, became one of its promoters and supporters. His name was even men tioned as that of an available candi date against Uncle Joe. Then in the summer of last year he began a state wide campaign in Michigan to strip the senatorial toga from the back of Uncle Julius, who was a veteran in the house of representatives when Townsend was a student and who al ready wore the toga when Townsend was a plodding lawyer in Jackson ounty, with never a dream perhaps of future legislative honors. primaries, thereby insuring the elec r.

Swine we originally natives of warm, damp climates.. When do mesticated and given proper protec tion they are found profitable in all agricultural -districts. And yet no other farm animal is subjected to such uncomfortable 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 o? 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 able house and much odd lumber can be worked into it. The portable house is peculiarly ad vantageous since it can be readily moved. The renter who finds It im possible to provide expensive quar ters-for his hogs can well afford to construct portable houses, since they can be retained as personal property. Many farmers construct hog houses A1 Front of Shed-Roof House. without considering the Importance Of sinitation, ventilation and drain age. A hog house of any kind should be located on a high, dry site, and,'if possible, on soil containing sufficient sand to drain well. A house located on an elevation may be somewhat colder in winter, but it is much cooler and more comfortable In summer. 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.

The wagon here illustrated has proved of practical worth for carrying a cow or other animal short distances. The ideas may be adopted by any practical farmer, who with the aid of his home blacksmith or wagon maker can construct a similar wogan, says a writer in the Farm and Home. The axle for the rear wheels is dropped by means of right angles 10 to 14 inches from the hub, making it truly a "low down." There is plenty of room in front for the small wheels to cramp Low-Down Stock Wagon. under the box in making sharp turns. and still leave room for the head and shoulders of the upright animal. The semi-circular arches or braces are of wrought Iron flattened and bolted, running well down from the top of the box. The rear gate can be lifted off the wrought iron bracket hooks on which it rests at each of its four corners. SPRING PIGS QUITE SCARCE Thrifty, Well-Marked Sows Should Be Kept for Breeding-Apple Or chard for Pasture. Pigs are scarce and high. The cause is largely due to the high price of all kinds of grain. The brood sows bave been fattened and sold-the re sult is a scarcity of shoats and pigs the country over. It will take at least a year before the farmers will be able. to fill up their pens. The thrifty, well-marked female pigs should be saved for breeders. Alter the male pigs before they have made much growth. It is best to have this business done by an expert, as there is less risk of loss. After alter Ing place the pigs in a dry pen, hav ing a bed of clean straw. Give sweet immed milk mixed with wheat mid ilings. As soon as the cuts heal turn Into grass and clover pasture. For the early fall market feed mill feed slop all they will eat twice a day. When the fodder corn is well eared and the grain is In the milk, cut up a few stalks and spread over the pasture once a day. Spread it out thin so that each one will get its fu'l share. Give wood ashes and burnt wood twice a week. Keep the feed trough clean and dry. Sour slop, dirty troughs and yards are sure to breed cholera and swine plague. Breeding stock should have the range of a good clover pasture. There is no better pas ture for sows with pigs than the ap ple orchard. The fallen fruit will do: when clean, and -the grass and clover grazed close. If the sows are well fed they will not injure the trees. Good Walkers.. Some firms who use heavy horses make an absolute rule that their teams shall not be driven beyond a walk. Two results of such a course are ap parent to the casual observer. First, their horses are in good condition and from that fact it is safe to rely on the statement of the owners that they are not always replacing horses that should have many years of usefulness before them. Second, their horses soon learn to walk fast. LivtSToCji Feed all the small potatoes to the sheep and pigs. The experienced shepherd always provides his animals with an abun dance of salt. Potatoes may be fed to cows and bogs when the market price is com paratively low. There is considerable danger in feeding well-fed ewes too highly on wheat, corn and alfalfa hay. Blue grass makes an excellent fall and winter pasture if the farmer lets it grow rank early in the season. If the young ewes are not in good condition there is likely to be a great :eal of trouble about lambing time. One thing very noticeable in eon crete barns is lack of dust and barn vermin which includes mice and rats. Success in pork production is large ly affected by the attention given to the health and comfort of the brood sow. All farm animals get hungry for a :hange of diet about this time of year. Here is where the roots come in, iandy. All beef and mutton will hereafter be raised on the small farms and ~armers must learn how to meet the rew conditions. It is stated that over 10,000 swine have been immunized against hog :holera by the Ohio department of ag 'iculture since January 1, 1910. When ewes run free and are given ittle feed with no shelter, there is no Ioubt but It proves fatal to success .n the production of a large crop of. ambs. Young pigs should have the best of ~are and get to eating nicely while on :he mother. They should not be weaned until they are nine weeks old I geiod results are obtained. GOOID IG An Interesting Item Clipped From the Burlington, North Carolina, News of Recent Date. "Say, Mr. Farmer. don't you remem ber three years ago you couldn't get a doctor, you couldn't tell a thing about the markets, you couldn't have a social gathering, you couldn't have a talk with your neighbor-in fact, you couldn't commune or converse beyond your household, without stop ping your teams and losing a half, and probably a whole day, in riding in after what you wanted. "You don't have to do that now, do you? No, sir; you can just step to the telephone. You don't have to stop your team, don't have to dress. don't have to face the inclemency of the weather for 5, 10 or 15 miles, and say, did you ever sell that load of produce before you loaded it on your wagon? There was a time when you couldn't, and your wife, life is not shut in for her now as it once was, is it?" Well, how did all this happen? - Why, DuRant being a telephone man and Crowson a newspaper man, and both Alamance enthusiasts, they just yoked up together and went for the backbone of the county, viz.: the farmers. They talked, they wrote, they persuaded, and then some of the farmers took hold. "You can't keep a good thing down" and "once tried never forgotten." Then the farmers did some talking themselves, just ask one of the boys who has a telephone. Would you Zi-ve it up, Bill, for twice what it h:.. ost you" Where does Alamance stand in farmers' line development? "Why, Bill, there's no county in the South that could hold it alight. She's on a little mcuntain all her own." Has the development stopped? Well, I guess not. We have four hundred and eighty farmers' stations in this county. Three years ago we had practically no rural telephone connection. And we have just begun. The thing hasn't started. The rural teelphone system in Alamance county is going to be the biggest thing in it. There 'has recently been connected with the Burlington Exchange thir teen new stations. Besides these are several other lines that will be con nected very shortly. Mr. Farmer, are you one of that bunch? Old Alamance, the Burlington News and the telephone, always. OPPORTUNITY FOR PROFIT Good Money Made by Southern Farmers With Alfalfa Crop. Washington.-The opportunities for profit which the raising of alfalfa of fers the farmers of the Southeast is indicated by letters received by the land and industrial department of the Southern railway, showing increased interest in the production of alfalfa and highly profitable results in wide ly separated districts. Fort and Stone of Dunleith, Wash ington county, Mississippi, owners of a plantation in the delta, reported that on twenty-eight acres seeded in the fall of 1909 168.8 tons were produc ed at a cost of $593.05. They figured this hay to be worth $15 pcr ton in the barn, though hay was selling from $20 to $23 per ton. At this low rat ing they received a profit of $1,940 on the twenty-eight acres, the hay cost ig them only $3.47 per ton. Reports from the delta show that about fifty farmers arc now growing alfalfa with i'ucccss, all having seeded their fields in the last three or four years. J. W. Fisher of Newport ini the East Tenr-essee section, writes that he is greatly pleased with results, having averaged five tons per acre, and fGnding a ready sale at $22 per ton, but he has found the hay so good that he prefers feeding it to his own stock to sclling it. He has grown alfalfa on the upland red calcareious clay, general throughout East Ten neszce. Success in growing alfalfa is also reported by growers in South ern Virginia, North Carolina and Ala 1ama and the acreage devoted to al falfa in all the Southeastern states is growing steadily.
