1t seems our supervisors have kept. this
case in law as long as they could. They
have at last brought it to our doors. All
that is now wanting for the collection OF
the tax is the acceptance of the securities
of the collectors and treasurers, and, that,
many believe, can be easily obtained, as
everything else has been, by bribery. We

s@F Called on friend Ruggles the other
day; found him busy of course. Who
ever found him otherwise ? After looking
around his place, we went in and partook
of the good things provided for the inner
man. If anyone wishes history of Iowa
county. we would advise them to call at
Capt. Ruggles, for better history than he
and his lady can give can't be found. Mr..
r. is one of the first settlers in t;is part
of the country, having lived oa tie farm
he now occupies over 80 yea md during
that time has been endeavo ing to improve
his place, the consequence is hat he has
probably the best i'm II we'd farm in the
county. His barn lie largest one we
have seen. being 90 fee in length, and
though it Is so Il e, il is not large enough
every avalabl. space is perfectly full.
| The latest improvement, however, is a
building for the purpose Of fattening and
butcheriag hogs, the most convenient
building OF it's kind we have ever seen it
1
is hog-pen, corn crib, and slaughter house,
combined. The size of the building is SO
by 90 feet, built On a sofia stone founda-
| ton and raised about 4 feet from the
ground At each end of the building are
pens built l0x1l feet, with doors from one
to the other for the convenience of
moving the hogs. Above the pens, at
each end Of the building, are corn cribs
| lox20 feet, capable of holding 1900 bush
els of corn; the whole is lined with q
inch oak plank. Doors and gang ways
are provided for the purpose O. driving
the hogs into the pens or driving them
out into wagon or sleigh. The whole is
accomplished without handling the hogs
from the time they are put in until they
are taken out
In the center of the building is space
left 14x20 feet, in ore corner of which is a
| we'll built brick furnace, with 60 gallon
kettle, for the double purpose of heating
water for the dressing of hogs, and for
boiling or steamng their food.
Above and across the center space is
erected windlass IA feet wide, and work
ed by crank by which means the largest
beef can be raised with perfect ease.
The cost of this building is about $500
Every well-to-do farmer should have such
building: it will pay for itself in very
short time.
