DESIRABLE pIG-PEN.
Plans of q Cheap Structure Which
Combines All the Good Points
Of q Costly One.

This plan combines many Of the con-
veniences of desirable pig pen. Fig.
shows one complete pen with its divi-
sions. A row of pens may be built-any
number desired-and q description of
one will answer for all. The pen is IS
feet long from front to rear. by eight
feet wide. The front posts are eight
feet high; the rear five feet. A feed
passage runs along the front of pens
shown at A. The feeding and sleeping
apartment is shown at b. At C is the
passage which runs along the whole
building but which, when closed b. the
door OBJ. makes the passage part Of
the yard d. The feeding place GAY is
nine feet deep by eight in width. The
passage &C. is three feet wide. When

this passage is closed the opening from
the yard into the feeding place ia

are shut up. Any pig that may have
to be removed from one pen to an
other can then be driven without any
difficulty, whenever desired.

pigs to pass in and out of the barnyard

like some funeral sermons nowadays
that lavish undeserving praise upon I'M
deserving men, or like the epitaph upon
4 bad mans tombstone. But when the
church quit the wholesale sainting
business the people took 1t up and
sainted their towns and cities and riv-
ers and businesses, and even their race
horses and man cows. Some Of them
went SO far as to saint themselves by
putting the prefix of est" to their
names, although they had no bright
prospect of keeping it longer than this
sublunary life.
Even in this Protestant country we
have st. Mary's. st. Augustine. st.
Marks, ST. Louis. st. Simons. st. An
drews. st. Pauls. and hundreds of 9TH
ers that came down to us through
French and Roman Catholics. And we
have st. Anthony's fire and st. Vitus'
dance. which are very disagreeable.
England has her patron saint-St.
George, who, it is said. killed the
dragon. alias the devil, and delivered
the church from his power. He was
Christian martyr of the third century.
but they said his spirit came down in
the twelfth century and helped the
English in their crusades, and SO King
Edward chose him as the patron saint
of England. Ireland has st. Patrick.
but our nation has no saint yet. New
York has one, and his name is Tam
many. He was an Indian sachem-
chief of the Delawares. He was good
Indian and some Jeffersonian demo-
Gratis dedicated a hall to him 30 years
ago and called it st. Tammany. His
followers have kept up quite COM
motion. They have increased in num-
bers and in power, but degenerated in
piety.
st. Cecilia was martyr Of the fourth
century, blessed woman and worthy
of being canonized. She had extraor-
binary musical gifts and charmed the
people with her singing. Musical So
cieties to this day claim her as their
patron saint. and on the 22d of this
month will again mourn her sad death
and pay tribute to her virtues. That
is st. Cecilia's day. Female saints are
few in number-few in the annals of
the churches-but in fact more than
men, and from the time of the Virgin
Mary they have been the mothers of all
who were great and good. Some good
men are saints, but all good mothers
are.-Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
