MODEL P1cGERY.

dry quarters, is absolutely necessary to
 the continued health of any hog. In- deed, all animals should have the sum- shine to bask in, and most emphatically does this hold true as regards young animals. Accordingly, when it comes to the housing of the hogs for winter it is imperative that the piggery be so arranged as to provide the requisite amount of sunshine inside. When
 building large piggery, however, the problem is how to get the suns rays to the north side of the building. It is simple enough to get the sunlight to stream in at the south side, but al- though it reaches the floor near the south side, it will not reach far back. What then, is to be done? Why, use a
 little headwork and build in accordance
 with the following designs, the first of
 which is the perspective view. You will thus have the north side of the piggery made as warm and sunny, and often far more so, than the south side. For, to obtain the desired results, the house should extend east and west, no matter what its size is, which should depend
 upon the magnitude of the herd that it
 is to accommodate, and nothing else.

 A. M. and Rollo Chimes and Walter Erwin Sundaved in this neighborhood. Rollo will leave for his home at Pittsfelp, Ill.,, in a few days. Being a member of the Illinois state militia he was summoned home by Captain Ware, of company A. 5th Regiment. It looks like Gov. Tanner is going to fight whether McKinley does or not.
 We would rather have one acre of good clover old enough to graze than fifteen acres of the best cotton land in Monroe county with the best Phillips county negro family to work it in cotton. We have seen in this neighbor- hood Poland China pigs killed just three months from date of weanning, that averaged one hundred and eighty pounds each. Also one lot that averaged two hundred and sixty each at nine months old. These hogs were raised on clover, even as dry as the past three summers have been.
 There seems to have been a discussion between the ARGUS correspondents about the condi- tron of the farmer. We don't receive the ARGUS regularly, there- fore don't know what the fuss was about, but will say that if any farmer will handle gool grade of thoroughbred Berkshire or Poland China hogs, along with his other farming interests, he can virtually repeal the crop mortgage as far as he individually is concerned. Any thoroughbred black breed of hogs in the south will live and keep fat on clover from May lst until September 18th. Any ridge land with a clay sub- soil, will grow clover and one acre of clover, g year old will keep twelve to fifteen hogs and the clover will develope more bone and muscle than fifty bush els of corn fed to the same hogs during the spring and summer months.
 More along this line next week.

 As good a cistern as can be Hade q by walling up with brick, and fhsn ee- menting to make water tight, but whei1 cheapness is to be eonsidered, !. good cistern may be made In the following manner: Dig so that 1t will be. larger at the top than at the bottom, like an old-fashioned dash churn turned .hQf- tom side up.

Inc heads out; bore an inch and half hole in the center of the other end. and put in . plug from the outside, this to be the bottom. Put a small, perforated wooden box just over this, and have the pipe through which the water runs come down through the center of the barrel and terminate in this box. Tho. box to have the bottom side out, thu pipe to come through the top of the box. Get some nice clean gravel, put ih a layer of gravel and then layef, of charcoal, and 90 on till the barrel ii half full or more; arrange it 50 that the last layer will be of gravel. Just abovs the last layer put in the pipe that runs into the cistern. Cover the barrel well so that nothing can get into 1t from the top. When 1t rains let the water ips it will filter from bottom to top instead of vice versa. Have the barrel sittinR on two sflls, and after the cistern IT filled, take out the plug from the bot. tom of the barrel, and the water, IF rushing out, will wash out all sediment. bugs and insects that might hsve run in; thus leaving the filter clenn TIT nice, end ready for the next 4ime.

sQuAw CLUB IN MAINE.
Wives of Tarratine Indians Organize
 the Wa~ba.na-ki.

Wives of TaFratine Indians Organize
 the Wa-ba-na-ki.
 Wa-ba-na-ki is the name of a wom- ans club in Maine. All the members of this organization are squaws and belong to the Tarratine tribe, the rem nant of which lives on Indian island, in the Penobscot river, opposite Ban gor. The members are nearly all pure Indians, but not the kind of greasy old women, with red shawls over their stout shoulders, and odors more numer- ous than pleasant emanating from their bodies. A picture of the Tarratine type hangs in the reception room of the Tar ratine club in Bangor, and is dedicated to the red and unwrinkled dame who posed for it-Molly Molasses-- who died at the modest age of 130 years, accord ing to the tradition on Indian island. There are other squaws as dark of skin, eyes and hair, but graceful, self possessed, agile in movement, fluent in speech, and who speak pure English. Prominent among this class is Mrs. Martha Nicolar, of Old Town or, more properly speaking, of Indian island. She is the. wife of one of the leading men of his tribe, Horace Nicolar, and is the first president of the Wa-ba-na-ki club, of which q dozen of her Tarratine sisters form the membership.
 Mrs. Nicolar, the clubs first presi- dent, is a descendant of high Indian blood, while her husband comes from equally pure Tarratine stock. The Soc- cabasins came straight down from old Peter Soccubasin, who, at the age of 1O6, wandered away from the island and perished in the great north woods be- fore he could be found. Jo Nicolar, an- other father of club women, was the historian of his tribe, and constant opponent of marriages between girls of the tribe and white men. In spite of him the young folks have welded where they would. and some of the white blood is in the Wa-ba-na-ki club to-day. This club will do great work for its tribe. Its first purpose is the establishment of an industrial school on Indian island, and they will hold a sale soon ill which their own handi- work will go to swell the fund which is to he put into the new institution The club membt have deep appreciation of their mission. They are fully awake to the need of reforms in the social conditions of their people. Besides set ting the club work a-going in the tribe these women will apply themselves to the collection of the history of the Tar ratines.

How to Make Old Clothes Look AL
 most as Good as New.
 A woman of wonderful resources has just discovered a new and very. sure way of renovating and restoringt to their for mer appearance spotted soiled Qpfadec cloth or serge gowns.
 Pick about 20 ivy leaves, young green ones by choice, wash them carefully and place them in a jug or basin. Add about one pint of boiling water, cover up the basin or jug, and leave to soak for two or three hours. when it will be ready for use. Meanwhile the gs,r- sFrcrnt mrst be thoroughly brushed n. 1ss 1zs4 = 5:zs and all 'aGstid V aE4Ya.;d or as~.s..s removed from the bottom. When ready, spread 1t on the table, and care fully sponge with ivy water. It must then be hung out to dry, when it will be found to have recovered it's former color and to look quite like new,
 Black silk may be cleaned in the same manner, but it needs more caro- If the silk is in breadths 1t must be lightly sponged and then tightly rolled over cloth wound round roller and left to dry,
 Black lace may also be renovated when soiled or brown with age by sponging with ivy water, and then roll ing over cloth wound round a roller. It should not be ironed.
 Mix equal quantities of soft soap and powdered starch with half the quanti- ty of salt; make into paste with, lemon juice. Lay this paste on each side of the mildew stains md let the artis4r lie out on the grass night and day Jill the stains disappear. Soaking the clothes stained in butternilk for con. siderable time, then washing them in the usual manner, and finally leaving them to bleach all night on the grass, is an old-fashioned country method, which is cffectual. Another is to make paste of table salt and lemon juice, and lay this thickly on the spots, which should have been previously wetted and soaped; the linen so treated being left in the open air to bleach for several hours at least.
 The best element in any of these treatments is the nights bleach. In towns, where this is impracticable, the best thing is to make a solution of equal parts of chloride of lime and common soda in boiling water half pound each of the lime and soda to three quarts of water; dip the stains into this for few seconds till they disappear, then rinse the article in boiling soap studs and send to the wash as usual. Do not let the articles stay more than d few seconds in the solution. or 1t will burn them. Whenever possible, do not omit the night bleach. - Louisville Courier Journal.
