AN IDEAL HOGHOUSE.

A ground plan of my hog house, built
iti 1K94, is shown in the cut. It is an
ideal one. The chimney is directly
behind the ventilator. It is half way
down the roof. 1 prefer my hogs all
in one house. Here 1 can feed 50 to GO
of all ages in 15 or 20 minutes. Their
feed is putin dry, one bag to a barrel;
then the barrel is filled with boiling
water from a faucet iti the cooker.
Water is heated in the afternoon,
turned in the barrel with feed after
chores are done, and left over night
with cover on. The next day it is stir
red thoroughly before feeding, and
dipped out with a ten-quart tin pail.
Small pens here and there are good
enough for summer or if one has only
one sow that farrows late in the sea
son. If those pens were all small, 1

would have to work two hours or more
to feed them all, carrying feed to each
pen and removing snowdrifts or ice
, from the troughs before feeding. The
stable is cleaned twice or three times
a week except when feeding corn
heavily, when it is cleaned every day
on account of the corncobs. The hogs
in winter are always in the house, go
ing back to their pen when let out.
In my hog- house I have lost but two
pigs by thumps since 18!/7. The tank
on cooker can be removed and made
a regular stove, and, when it is cold,
u good hot fire is made from chunks
of knotty wood, which cannot be
worked up for the kitchen stove. If
the little doors are made six by eight
inches tlie little pigs will come out and
run back and forth in the alleys, as in
summer, in the cooking room 1 have
a shallow trough two inches deep, ten
inches wide, four to six feet long. In
this is put some cooked whole wheat
and cracked corn made up for the pigs.
In one end is a cross cleat about 12
inches from the end of the trough. In
this end some dry earth is put for the
pigs to dig and exercise in; earth
from the fall plowing' of sod is best.
This will have to be putin more than
once, as they will have it dug out .sev
eral times a day. After their exer
cise, when it begins to get cool, they
will crawl under the cooker and lie
around the side of it sound asleep,
I have my pigs farrowed in winter,
about February; January is too early,
as the pigs are too large and want
more room. 1 plan to have as many
farrow at one time as possible; then
I there is less trouble in dividing them
I for feeding in pens, and an early pig
can be shipped for breeding much
earlier than a late one. 1 use a feed
cooker; capacity, 50 gallons, which is
snia 11 enough.
My hog house is 40 feet in diameter,
sides ten feet long and six feet six
incites high to ceiling. The rafters
from each corner run to the center,
and those between are spiked onto the
main rafter. There is a ventilator 10
inches square in center, slatted on I
four sides to keep rain and snow out
ami to let out steam, etc., which may
gather. A large trapdoor is directly !
over the cooker. It is opened when
witter is taken from the tank and all
steam goes out direct. After the
water handling is done the trapdoor
is closed up and all heat is kept in.i
This door is three by si\ feet. J would
not liuilii or feed any other way if for
business. A. X. Tort man, in Rural

CONVINCING PROOF.
Case No. 41,200. —Capt. Alfred G
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says:"l had a weak back
ever since I'was a boy, and about six
years ago the cause developed into
rather a bad case of kidney complaint.
It was not a little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
Buffering day and night, and tlieliarder
i tried to get rid of it the worse it
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys.
I can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
"In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sl&ep during the
night.
"I took everything which cametomy
notice from reading, from observa
tion, and which my friends and ac
quaintances advised. I consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
"It became so well known that I had
a pronounced case of kidney com
plaint that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure m."', and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
"When Doan's Kidney Pillsattracted
my attention 1 wanted to try them,
just as I had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durban & Wright
Co.'s drug store for a box. Relief fol
lowed. I knew after a dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, I continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
"Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, 1 would
willingly pay one month's wages for
a box of them if I could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will
convince them that they act just as
represented."
Four Years After.
"Lapse of time has strengthened
my appreciation of Doan's Kidney-
Pills. 1 gave this remedy my unquali
fied endorsement in the summer of
189G, because of the results I obtained
from a course of the treatment. 1
?an now add to my original endorse
ment the experience of a number of
others who are just as enthusiastic,
when they express their opinion of
Woan's Kidney Pills, as I."

Nearly 500 passengers who were
aboard train No. 13 on the Wabash
road narrowly escaped a wreck and
death near Clark station, Indian .
the other night. The train is known
as the Buffalo limited, and reaches
Chicago at 9:30 in the evening. Clark
station is the crossing of the Wabash
and the Fort Wayne railways, and is
four miles east of Hammond.
A short distance out of Clark the
Wabash crosses the Grand Calumet
river over a huge trestlework bridge.
Some repairs had been made on the
structure only recently, and it was
considered perfectly safe, track
walkers having just pat ruled the
bridge before the Wabash limited left
Clark station. As the train, having
aboard nearly «00 souls, reached the
middle of the structure that spanned
the Calumet the engineer heard the
cracking of timbers us the middle
span of the bridge sank heneata his
engine. lie opened the throttle to the
farthest limit, and the train fairly
leaped from the swaying trestlework.

Under the caption, "The Art of Putting
Things," an English author has given some
very amusing examples of saying things in a
queer way. One of the most unfortunate
reejrded attempts to escape from a conver
sational difficulty was made by an Kast end
curaie, who cultivated the friendship of
mechanics.
One day a carpenter came to him and
laid: "1 have brought my boy's likeness,
as you said you'd like to have it."
"How good of you to remember!" said
the ec e. "What a capital likeness! How
is IJ
" . hy, sir, don't you remember?" said
the carpentei. "He's dead."
"Oh, yes, of course I know that," replied
the curate. "1 mean how's the man that
took the photograph?"
A story is told c i a young laborer who, on
his way to his day's work, called at the
registrar's office to register his father's
death. When the official asked the date of
the event, the sun replied:
"He Ain't dead yet, but he'll be dead be
fore night, so I thought it would save nie
another journey if you would put it down
now."
"Oh, but that won't do at all," said the
registrar. "Perhaps your father will live
till to-morrow."
"Weil, I don't know, sir; the doctor says
as he won't; and he knows what he has
given him."

'1 tie doctors are dumbfounded, the drug
gists astonished, and the people excited and
loyt'ul over the wonderful cures and tremen
dous sales of the great Remedy, St. Jacobs
Oil. Every case of Rheumatism—some of
many years' standing—lias given way to this
powerful remedy. I housands of certificates
iiku the following can be furnished as to its
value:—
George Scleyer, Publisher of the Chilton,
Wis., "\ olksbote," used St. Jacobs Oil for
"almost unbearable pains in the back, which
had completely prostrated him." A few ap
plications cum! him entirely.
Mrs. Fred Eberle, Rellaire, 0., was for a
long time severely troubled with Rheuma
tism. St. Jacobs Oil instantly relieved and
entirely cure her.
Rev. Dr. R. Pick, of Rochester, N. Y., suf
fered so intensely from Rheumat ie pains that
lie was unable to preach. Several applica
tions from a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil "re
lieved him."
F. Radder, Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Two
applications of St. Jacobs Oil cured me of
great and long-continued pain in my foot."
Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son, Drug
gists, Muskegon, Mich., write:—"St. Ja
cob* Oil has a wonderful sale. We sold
eight bottles at retail yesterday. This will
pive you some idea of how well it is liked
in this section."
Mr. Louis ITinlcel. nf East Poesten, Kill,
N\ V., says:—"l call St. Jacobs Oil the best
liniment I ever used. It cured me of Rheu
matism and pain in the back."
Herman Rittner, Manchester, N. IT.:
"I have tried St. Jacobs Oil. and found it ex
cellent. All those who have purchased it
speak of it as 'simply incomparable.' "
Geo. G. Erflle, Palestine, 111.:—I was in
bed suffering from a swollen leg, I used St.
Jacobs Oil, its effect was wonderful. The
following day I attended to my business
again."
Dr. Otto Fills, Reading. 0... writes:—"The
sale of St. Jacobs Oil is constantly increas
ing; it is praised by everybody, and never
fails to give entire satisfaction."

SISTERS OF CHARITY
Use Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and
Catarrh—A Congressman's Letter.

In every country of thecivilized world 1
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
Dr. liartinan receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich., reads as follows:
Dr. S. li. Ilartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sin—"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from laryngi
tis, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to he able to say she is entirely cured. "

The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh nf the throat with good re
sults as the above letter testifies.

Dr. Hartinan, one of the best known

the medical profession of this country.
