"Vercffer you go over da world you will find Jews," said Ike. "Faith and Oi wouldn't say that. I never heard of a Jew at the North Pole," replied Pat. "Oh, is dot so. How about dot guy Iceberg? He's no Irishman." An insurance agent was filling out an nipplication blank. "Have you ever had appendicitis?'' ho asked. "Well," answered the applicant, "I was operated on, but I have never felt quite sure whether it was appen- dicitis or professional curiosity.'' Profits from hogs, like profits from most other lines, are largely affected by the size of the initial outlay. The hog does not need an expensive house but it must be clean, with the possibility of being kept clean with the leas.t amount of labor. On a farm where a few hogs are reared or even where a herd of 100 sows may be kept, the necessary housing can be provided by cabins and box stalls for the farrowing sows built on the plan of what is known as the "All Year Hoy Cabin". Such a cabin is useful 365 days in the year, no matter how small or large the herd may be. By its construction, the all year, cabin gives efficient protection in winter and summer. It is inexpen- sive, and is built on runners so that it may be removed to fresh ' ground at any time. In summer, lack of shelter from .the intense heat is more injurious to young pigs than [â- he cold of winter. By the use of ninged doors, comfort both in sum- mer and winter is assured. Specifi- cations for maiking the cabins are contained in the revised circular 131 (Publication) 618) "The All Year Hog Cabin", which may be obtained free from the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. / „xmxxxxixux xx ju. i itniiiiiiiiu^ OntarWs I TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR CO-OPERATIVE WIDE HEADS The old idea that cattle with wide heads and muzzles make the best gains in the feed lot is not founded on fact. Some wide-headed cattle do, and some do not, say veterinary au- thorities. The surest way of making gains in cattle, they say. is to ob- serve which animals make the best gains, then follow through to keep others of the same breed. Said the instalment collector: "Look here, what do you mean? You've never made a single payment on your piano!" "Well, the* company advertised 'Pay as you play'." "What has that got to do with it?" "I don't play."
