PLAN OF PIGGERY.

If not absorbed would run to the &C.
mented alleyway under the trough,
which should be raised from the floor
slightly. The solid eXcrements should
be wheeled to the receptacle provided
for them, which may be eXcavated
foot or more below the level Of the &C.
mented alley way.
The dotted lines within the pen show
where by scantling may be tackled
to the floor to keep the bedding in place.
The dotted lines on the outside OF the
building show where yards may be
constructed, but the better plan Is to
have two pasture lots Of considerable
size, one on either side of the building.
as land is cheap and lumber and labor
expensive.
The floors should be laid on pounded
earth covered with about half an inch
Of salt to preserve them, and should
have dip of to inches from rear to
front, Swing doors may be construct
ed at the side for the passage of the
animals to and from the yards or pas
lures.
The roof story may be used for stor-
ing corn, meal and straw, or if 1t is too
much work to carry the heavier ma
terial to the loft, one of the pens, pref
erably the one under the stairway,
might be used for storing food.
The building may be made somewhat
narrower than shown, and as long as
desired. In no case should pig-pen
floors, in cold climate, be up from the
ground. If the building is put on dry
ground or drained, the earth underneath
the floors will become dry and the pens
will be warmer, since no drafts OF air
can circulate under them.
The diagram is made from pen SINH
lar to this one which has been in use
some eight or ten years and has proved
extremely satisfactory. The floor, in
any case, will be wet along the troughs
near the alley, and by tipping them to-
ward the alley all surplus moisture will
find its way to the cemented floor, leav-
ing the back of the pen dry and COM
Portable. In winter time, when the
doors for egress are closed, the animals
are likely to drop their solid weddings
at the side of the bed. The scantling
nailed upon the floor will mark the line
between them and the bed. In any
case the pens should be cleaned daily
and sprinlled with some absorbent as
chaff, gypsum or dry earth.-Country

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Pine tar on the sleeps nose is an ex-
cellent defense against troublesome and
often dangerous flies.
The New Mexico lamb crop will prob
ably amount to 100000 head; about
100000 of which will be offered for ship
ment,
The sheep should be clipped clean
about the hind parts, lest filth gather
and attract blow flies. A mixture of
glycerine and fish oil In equal parts,
is excellent to smear over such parts.
Makes no difference how good ram
IS, if he is a scrub, never use him. Sell
him to the butcher; buy arecorded ram,
breed your best ewes to, him, and you
will notice the difference in the lambs at
once.
An old sheep keeper says that good
fat sheep never lose their wool. Wool
is lost through lice, ticks or scab, due to
a mite, and none Of these beasts can
endure fat. Poor sheep is always their
feeding ground.
/. Ifwoolis the principal objectinbreed-
ing, then a ram with plenty of wool
bearing surface, yielding a washed
fleece Of at least Is pounds, should be
selected. His wool. should be of strong
fiber, coarse crimp. A ram should not
have ewes feece.-Rnral World.

a Point Where the Magnetic Needle
Cannot BE Relied On.
A most phenomenal island is that Of
Bornhohn, in the Baltic, belonging to
the kingdom of Denmark. 1t is famous
for its geological peculiarities, consist
ing as it does almost entirely of mag
netite, and it's magnetic influence is not
only very we'll known to the navlgators
of those waters, but also much feared
By them, on account of its influence
on The magnetic needles, which makes
the steering Of a ship correctly q mat
ter of much difficulty. In fact, says the
New York Sun, this influence is felt
even at distance of miles, and so pal
pably that, on the island being sighted
by mariners On the Baltic, they at once
discontinue steering their course by the
needle, and turn instead, to the well
known lighthouses and other holds to
direct their craft. Between Bornhohn
and the mainland there is also bank of
rock under water, which is very dan
gerous to navigation, and because of 1t
being constantly submerged, vessels
have been frequently wrecked at that
point. The-pec1lliar fact in this case
Is that the magnetic influence Of this
ore bank is so powerful that mag
netic needle suspended freely in boat
over the bank will point down, and, il
not disturbed, will remain in perfect

An Association which Guards Its
Members Against Thieves.
One Of the standing committees OF
the American Bankers association is
the protective committee. To its mem
bers fall the work not only of warning
banks against forgers and other swim
oilers, but also acting with detective
agency of catching and conyicting the
criminals who have defraudcd any bank
belonging to the association

ISOLATION, which was begun in 1894,
has proven, it is saidf0y bankers, most
effective and much good has been ao-
complished by running down and pun
ishing bank swindlers. Before this
work was taken up by the association
Individual banks frequently found it
too expensive to trace and capture
rogues at whose hands they had SUI

borne by the association the efforts to
capture bank swindlers are carried
much further than formerly, and it is

In connection with this branch Of
the work the detective agency re-

dexed, Of thieves who are under arrest
or in prison and who have been sus-

against the suspected is carefully

AMERICAN HORSES.

Many to BE Exported for Use in the
French Cavalry Service.
Anexperimen tal shipmentof 1Oohorses
from this country is to be made to
France for use in the army. If they
ship we'll and prove satisfactory to. the
French inspector regular purchasing
depot will be established at some point
in this country. Louis Noel has been
sent to Kansas City to act as purchas-
ing agent of the first consignment,
Some mules will also be included. DR..
Gracieux de Malliol made the report to
the French government which resulted
in commissioning Mr.. Noel as purchas-
ing agent, and he is thus quoted: ''In
a few years America will not have
enough horses to supply the old coun-
try. France alone has 100 regiments of
cavalry, and each regiment has about
1000 head of horses. France has the
finest cavalry in the world. She never
pays less than 5000 apiece for the horses
of her private soldiers, and her officers
horses cost her from $500 to $500 apiece.
No other country can compete with
America in fine bred horses" If the
French government is willing to pay
from 5000 to $500 for army horses some
very fine remounts can be secured. 1t
is true that horses worth those prices
are none too plentiful, but such figures
will bring them to market. We i'm
agne, however, that there is somewhat
of braggadocio in the statement, and
would expect to find Mr.. Noel driving as
hard bargain with sellers as any other
buyer, and paying about as low prices.
AS an addenda to the foregoing comes
the announcement that an agent of the
French government has purchased at
and around the race track at Forsyth
near Chicago, some SIS head of thorough
breds at S125 or less per head for use in
the French cavalry. This is much of
departure from the time-honored con-
yiction that the half-bread is much bet
ter for army service than the thorough
bred. Possibly serviceable Skates" can
be picked up around race track for
S125, but it seems rather doubtful. The
price paid quite justifies our prediction
as to figures that will probably be Of
fered in the Kansas City market by the
agent of the French government. How
ever, we welcome all buyers who will
take our horses-cheap or high class.
Our own army officers who do notmalfe
boasts concerning the character OF the
remounts they purchase, and who are
limited in price, have difficulty enough
in getting horses that fill their require
ments, and if our friends from France
obtain what they want at prices they
can afford to pay, we shall certainly be
glad to deliver to them the goods

Ilcen Your stock Growlng.

Every farmer knows that it is while
stock is young that it makes the great
est growth in proportion to amount of
feed. Then the cost of maintenance
Is less, and at least while the animal is
sucking a part of its feed is admir-
ably adapted to make growth. But
there is another reason why young
stock should be fed sufficiently to keep
thrifty. If It is underfed, or fed so as
10 fatten rather than to grow, the prob
abilities are that the digestive organs
will be injured and that all its life there
after that food it eats will do it less good
than it should. A stunted animal can
not by any kind of feeding be there,

HAS SPAIN YIELDED?
It Is Said She Accepts the Mediation of
Uncle SAM

Madrid, Oct. S5.-Spain's answer to the
note sent by the United States, which was
exhaustively analysed and discussed at
Saturdays cabinet meeting, was drawn up
Yesterday in final form and presented to
the queen regent, who is believed to have
given her entire approval oft.
The most complet, reservoirs, of course,
maintained by the cabinet as to the con-
tents of this answer. 1t is said that all the
theories enunciated latterly by the Madrid
press are totally imaginative.
The present ministry absolutely refuses
to consider the possibility of any friction
with the United States. The general tenor
of the answer will run. side by side with
the instructions issued to General Blanco.
The Ministry will courteously indicate to
the United States that a radical change
has taken place in the Spanish government
since the note was presented to the Duke
de Tetuan, and that this change has al
ready been marked by the Inauguration OF
new policy in the Antilles, which policy
the government hopes will enlist the sup
port and approval of the American people,
A signal instance of the new line the
present ministryis following is the recall
of Weyler, who is identified with the
policy disapproved of by the Sagasta
cabinet just as much as it is by America,
and the dispatch of General Blanco who is
authorized to Immediately set in motion
the machinery which is to supply Cuba
with a broad, generous and complete
measure Of autonomy.
1t is believed that the note goes on to
say that Spain is honestly endeavoring to
win the sympathies of her subjects beyond
the seas, and that she frankly, and even
gladly, accepts the offer of the friendly
offices ofthe United States.
The liberal ministry has pledged itself to
the programme of our humane, enlight-
ened country. The proofs of its sincerity
are its acts during the brief period it has
been in Office. The United States, so it is
authoritatively said, will then be asked to
cooperate in SPANS effort to strengthen
her sovereignty over her colonial subjects
by lending her support to the new minis
try's. projects for the restoring Of peace.
contentment and prosperityin the islands.
Without holding the United States respon-
sibile for filibustering it will ask the gov
eminent at Washington to do all In its
power to suppress it.

LABOR AIDS ITSELF.
Aa Organization in Akron, o., F1nds
Work for Many Unemployed.

Work for Many Unemployed.
Through the labor exchange estab-
liShed in Akron, o., few months ago
more than 100 men have found regular
employment who previously had been
without work greater part of the
time. Some even had become depend
ent upon charity.
The labor exchange Is On organiza-
zion of masons, carpenters and other
skilled and unskilled worl1men. 1t is
governed by the initiative and refer
endum and is cooperative In Ill its
dealings with members. An organiza-
ton having been effected, the exchange
proceeded to erect O home for itself in
vacant lot not far from the main man
ufacturing district. This home is o
cheap frame structure of two stories,
but it answers the purpose. 1t was
built by members of the exchange. In
return for their labor they were given
labor exchange scrip. The lumber used
In constructing the building was paid
for in the same way.
The structure was no sooner COM
pletef than the manufacture of brooms
was undertaken. These were sold to
grocers and other dealers. The ex-
change received cash for them or else
its own checks In exchange, members of
the organization having used them in
purchasing provisions. The manufae-
ture of brooms is very successful.
The manufacture of baskets for ber-
ries, too, has been carried on very sue
cessfully, and crates also have been sold
in large numbers. Another department
to be established at once will manufac-
ture butter trays and similar articles
from wood.
The exchange is now negotiating,
with every prospect Of success, for the
purchase of one of six idle brick plants
near Akron.
While broons and other articles have
been made by the exchange, other work
has been going on. Two houses have
been built for members, and building
contractors who have looked them over
say they are marvels of workmanship,
considering their cost. A cobbler, too,
has been, at work on. the shoes and boots
of members of the exchange.
Notwithstanding that its members
are paid in checks and the greater part
of its business is transacted by this
medium Of exchange, the local organ
ization is acquiring property. The Off
GERS say that for every dollars worth
of labor that has been done, as rep
resented by the checks issued, the ex-
change has money or other personal or
real property amounting to $1.o5.
The present membership of the eX-
change is 156. The figures will prob
ably be 200 within the next few months.
Members are not obliged to work for
the exchange, but they may do so, end
it is a noteworthy fact that the men
associated with this new idea are thor
onghly reputable citizens of the class
who seek to own their own homes, to
educate their children and to preserve
the government and the governments

PLUNGED IN THE RIVER.
Twenty-Eisht People Killed on the New
York Central.

Garrison's, N. Y, Oct. 25.-A New
York Central railroad train plunged into
the Hudson river three miles south OF
Garrison's just before daybreak yesterday
morning and twenty-eight persons were
killed.
This village is a summer resort, in Put
nam county, fifty miles north OF New
York city. 1t is opposite West Point.
There was nothing to presage the acct
dent which so suddenly deprived the
twenty.eight unfortunates of life. The
train left Buffalo Saturday night 1t had
progressed nearly nine-tenths of the dis
lance towards its deitination, and the first
streaks of dawn were appearing when the
locomotive plunged into the muddy depths
of the river.
Neither the enginemans nor the fireman
will ever tell the story of that terrible mo-
ment, for, with his hand upon the throt-
tie, the engineman plunged to the river
bottom and the fireman, too, met death
at his post. Behind them came an ex-
press car, a combination car and three
sleeping cars, and these piled on top OF
the locomotive.

vcntiIatfng Horse Stables.
1t takes q good deal of care to keep
the horse stable sweet and fit for
healthy living during the summer sea-
son. Unless it is quickly covered with
earth, gypsum, or something equally
efficient in absorbing odors, the decom-
posing manure will not only waste
ammonia, but it will be worse than
wasted because it will injure the health
and especially the eyesight of animals.
Many q horse has gone blind because Of
the ammonia affecting his eyes in poor
ly ventilated and dark stables. This is
the chief disadvantage to underground
stables in summer. They are cool, but
it Is very hard to keep them well VEN
tilated and without offensive smell.
But if the underground stable has, as it
should, a cement floor, it may not be
worse than the overEround stable that
has q plank floor filed with the urine
and other sccrctions that have soaked
into it.
